Masen's big day

We had quite the (few days) of celebration for Masen's birthday. He woke up at 5:30 AM on the big day to open his biggest gift of all - A Transformer Bike! He can't wait to ride it to the park when the weather gets warmer. Josh and I took him out to lunch (to Chapala, his favorite place of all) and to play cosmic mini-golf and to the arcade. Oh, and we also made a stop by Toys R Us to buy 2 new transformers with his b-day money. Whew! What a day. On Saturday we "partied" at Chuck E Cheese with friends and family. We had a great time! Here are some pics captured from the big day....

Masen at Chapala. The waiters sang to him and brought us fried ice cream :).

We love Chuck E Cheese!!!

Masen "the musician" turns 6!!!

Masen is turning 6 tomorrow! Can't believe he has already been on this earth for 6 years...boy has it flown by! I still remember the day we found out we were pregnant - on Josh's birthday. How exciting it was! Of course we were a little anxious to be parents for the first time, but we were so happy that God had blessed us with this gift. I couldn't imagine our lives without him, he has made us so proud. What a talented and smart boy he is!

I'm including a little clip that I found when he was 3. This proves just how talented he is when it comes to music and how young he was when he became interested in singing. He even has been telling us lately that he's going to be a Music Teacher when he grows-up. Of course, Josh and I are really hoping that he'll become a rock star and support his parents in our old age instead :). What ever he decides to be - he will succeed!

We love you Masen! Happy 6th Birthday!!!

P.S. More pictures to come - I just have to scan them first.....

Christmas is down, one birthday down and one to go....

What a busy month it's been for us!!! Can't believe it's already January. I swear that it was just July and we are enjoying our vacation at the Ozarks. Christmas and New Years came and went so fast. We were blessed this year (spoiled some too by the partents/grandparents). I can't believe that we spend so much time shopping and wrapping and then it's all done and over in a flash. Josh went back to work today and it's back to our "normal routine." Masen goes back to school tomorrow. It think we are all ready to get back to normal, although it was fun to have Daddy home for 2 weeks!!! Of course, I didn't get anything done that I had planned on getting done, but we had a lot of fun and spent a lot of time with family - which is the best part about the holidays! Next is Masen's 6th birthday. I can't believe he is turing 6!!! Of course, I'll post some baby pics closer to his b-day (it's the 15th). We're planning our fun day of taking him out to lunch and maybe going cosmic mini-golfing too (just Masen, mommy and daddy). Then we'll be celebrating with family and friends at Chuck E. Cheese. Here's a few pics taken over Christmas and Dawson's b-day. Hoping everyone has a blessed 2009!!!
