Fire Station Open House

We took the boys to the Fountain Valley First Station Open House. This was a neat little community even that  focused on family fire prevention and having fun. There was free food, moon bounce, face painting and ice cream sundaes. The kids had a great time.

                      Our brave lil guy is going to attempt to conquer the obstacle course bouncer.

                                    
                                                                   Yay I did it!!

 Checking out the Ambulance...I wonder if he remember riding in one like this when he was a baby?

 Dustin finally came around and decided to give the stethoscope a try. He was surprised he could hear his heart.

                                                      mmmmmm. future fireman?

                                             Daddy save me.....

                  The Firemen and their families cooked for everyone, we enjoyed their hospitality.

It was great to see our friend Ryan and his family. By the time we were taking this picture the boys were done.

"Tary" (scary) Toddler Tuesday

Today while Daddy was on a bike ride and Mason was napping, Dustin and I decorated our house for Halloween.

Dustin insisted to do it on his own, because he "wanted to help momma".

After the inside we went to our front yard to rake. Oh boy, was that a tough job

My yard it always full of leaves during fall so I assumed I would have enough leaves to fill both of  my pumpkin bags. Those bags were HUGE! Dustin and I raked the leaves for over and hour and we just barely filled up one bag.

I am grateful I had my son to help me. I really enjoyed our time together. We are always so busy with church, friends, family, work, life that I sometimes forget to take a step back and just spend that one on one time with my children. 

Dustin was very proud of his work, he was more proud when he was able to show daddy. He told art "Me and Mommy worked together"... I sure do love him!!

Monday with Mason

My Mason is growing so fast, I really wish I was able to turn back the clock when it comes to my children. Mason is now 9 months old! I know, I know, i can't believe it either. His first and favorite word is Mama! It just melts my heart to him say it about 1000 times a day. Mason is a great baby and has a ton of personality. I'd like to show you what I mean...

Toddler Talk Tuesday

My Dustin. What can I say, he is crazy, hyper, mischievous, loud, daring, sweet kind, loving, gentle, smart, and handsome. Being Dustin's mommy has bee an adventure in its own. Some days he drives me crazy but I wouldn't change it for anything. I love him dearly and he knows it! Dustin was in a wedding recently, he was the ring boy :) He was very excited and practiced his walk to the t. Unfortunately the "little brown" shoes gave him a blister. He immediately took those shoes off his feet and cried to us " I not like it my brown shoes" "My little brown shoes hurt me" lol. Dustin is a bit on the dramatic side, but he was right, those darn shoes gave him two bloody (literally) blisters. I'm sure I am not the only mom that thought her over dramatic child was exaggerating...right?

MMM...Eating yogurt never looked so good.
