Mason's 2

This adorable brown eyed boy turned 2.  He is such a character our whole family enjoys him to the fullest.  He is funny, always on the move, loud, and has our whole family wrapped around his finger.  He can melt my heart faster then the heat can melt my ice cream cone on a hot Florida summer day. 

He enjoyed being spoiled all day:

His favorite present is the train set my parents gave him.  He stayed up until 10 pm on his birthday playing with it.  He was too adorable, I didn't have the heart to take it away.

Cute Kate

Kate got to participate in a Thanksgiving program at her school:

 I thought she made a cute pilgrim:

 I am lucky to be her mom:

Best Friends

While the big kids are at school these 2 kids love playing together.

Mason

Mason's favorite place to put his finger.  I hope this phase passes quickly.

50 Degrees

Parker actually got to wear a coat for a day.  Luckily it warmed right back up the next day.

Best Day Ever

At the end of the day I overheard Parker and Kenzie laughing and talking about how this was the "best day ever."  Melt my heart.  We spent the whole day as a family, so Anthony and I must be doing something right.

Parade

Today at school the kids got to participate in a parade to celebrate Veteran's Day.

Anthony got to be in the parade since he is currently serving our country.  The kids loved having Anthony there:

I am so grateful for everyone who has served, and to those who are currently serving our country.  

Good-bye Binky

I have been trying to decide how to get rid of Mason's binky.  The other day he flushed it down the toilet.  When I put him down for his nap and he asked for his "bink" I showed him the toilet and told him he flushed it "all gone".  He said "okay" and that was that.  Thank you Mason for getting rid of your binky all on your own.  

Halloween

Mason was the perfect Bam-Bam, happily hitting everyone or thing that got in his way.

Only in Florida is it possible to trick-or-treat shirtless and not get cold: 

Kaitlynn was Tinkerbell:

 Kenzie was a bride:

Parker was a Black Ninja:

Anthony, Mason and I were Barney, Betty and Bamm-Bamm Rubble 

 

Our Costume wouldn't be complete without our friends Pebbles, Wilma, and Fred Flinstone:
