Random Happenings

We've had a lot of fun over the last several weeks and I wanted to share a few pictures.  Sometimes it's the simple things that are the most memorable.  One Saturday morning, Gigi and Granddaddy took Kate to the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra's rehearsal, which are open to the public. Kate always enjoys going and she even made her own flute out of paper - adorable.

 Later that night, Justin and I went to Michelle's birthday party.  It's nice to get out and enjoy a night with great friends every now and then.  Michelle (far right) is getting married in a couple months so I'm excited about her upcoming wedding.

 The first of January, they moved little man up to the 2s and 3s class at school.  It's mostly boys in this class and we have started to get reports of Mason hitting and shoving his friends.  I try to remind him each morning to have "nice hands" and be sweet to his friends before I leave him at school.  This was Mason's first project in his new class:

Mason has really started chatting lately and will say complete sentences with no problem.  He loves to pray at bedtime and routinely prays for each family member (calling everyone by name) and Santa.  Haha.  He has also started tattle-telling and crying to me that "Daddy's being mean" when he gets disciplined.  It's so cute.  

 Two of Mason's favorite things - his trike and zebra hat.

 

One morning at school, he apparently made quite the impression on the teachers.  Mrs. Leah (his teacher in the baby class) was picking a student to hold the flag during the morning devotional.  Apparently Mason jumped up, ran to the front of the room and stood under Mrs. Leah shouting "Pick Me!  Pick Me!"  Needless to say, she choose Mason. :)

 The other morning, Uncle Jordan sent me this sweet picture of Kate reading to Camden.  She loves her "Camie".

 

For his birthday, Nanny gave Mason this adorable train outfit.  I didn't get his picture taken professionally in it like I had planned, but I made sure to get one with my camera!  It looks so adorable on him and he loves anything with a train on it.

 My handsome boy.

 One warm Saturday afternoon, Justin and I took the kids to Tom Brown park for some family time.  We took a walk around the pond to watch the turtles and then spent some time at the playground before heading to dinner at Piggy's.  It was the perfect family outing!

Park fun!
