Merry Christmas!

This year has been a big one for our family! We have loved every minute of it. We have had a lot of experiences that we may not have never had. We moved to Connecticut for four months and were able to go to New York, Boston, Rhode Island. It was awesone. We drove clear across the country to get to Conn. I really learned how to rely on the Lord while I was in Connecticut and so far away from our families. The best part of the year has been having our 2nd son Bridger and making our family a family of four.
Here are just some of the things were thankful for this year!
1. Having Bridger and extending our family into four.
2. Having a good job and a nice place to live.
3. Having such good families on both sides
4. Being healthy and happy
5. The gospel! I'm so thankful for the knowledge we have of the gospel and that families are forever. I cant imagine not being with Matt, and my boys forever and the rest of our families. I am so thankful for all the blessings in my life and for this time of the year when we can focus on others.

Merry Christmas from the Masons

Our Boys!

So ever since Bridger has been born Carter has been so good with him. He has never hit or hurt Bridger and he is so sweet with him. I love it. But he is kinda getting a little jelous he will ask me to put Bridger in his swing and to hold him. Every once in a while Carter will pull a stunt like this up above and act like he wants to be the baby. But when we see him and he sees us looking at him he will hurry and act normal and just start laughing. Its funny. Also he has started wanting to be a big boy also. I dont think he can make up his mind on what he wants. ha. I think he will just do anything that gets a rise out of us. I was doing the dishes the other day and he told me he needed to go poop. So I told him to go on his potty then. A few min later he started telling me it hurt.. haha(sorry graphic i konw but i thought it was funny) I told him just to keep going. When I came into the living room I found him like this. It was so funny. I guess it took a lot out of him.. ha ps don't ask me why he always wants to move his toilet into the living room. I try and take him in the bathroom and he just picks the toilet up and comes out here. He tells us he wants us all to watch. (again with the attention thing)

This is the most recent pictures of the boys together. Carter looks out of control but its a picture. Dont judge me by the way he looks ha. Its been a transition having two kids and he is lucky if he gets his hair done on days when were not leaving the house...
Bridger is getting so big. He is so much fun. He is starting to smile now and make all his little noises and coos. I love it. He is sleeping pretty good. The most he makes up is two times. He is eating very good. He loves eating. He is such a good addition to our family and I can't imagine him not being part of our family.

I was trying to get a picture of him smiling but I didnt quite get it. This is the end of the smile but I still think its cute. He has the cutest dimples. I love them... He also has the biggest blue eyes. I just love this kid!
He loves just hanging out. He is such a stud. He only really cries if he is hungry (which actually is alot but its easy to take care of) I love having two boys and I am so excited for our future and seeing these boys grow together.
Sorry about all the pics our camera charger is still MIA and so all of these are from my phone. but at least there are pics and an update right.:)

Today is my moms birthday!!! So I thought I would give her a shout out and let her know how awesome she is!! She is the best mom! Since I have had Bridger she has saved me! She came and stayed for a week after he was born and cooked all the meals did all the laundry, cleaned my house and took care of the kids. She even kept Bridger during the night and just brought him to me to feed! She was a lifesaver. She is still been helping me out since she went home I call her everyday most days freaking out cause I am so stressed and overwhelmed (ps its getting better ha) and she always knows just what to say to calm me down or make me feel like I am a good mom. I was so glad she got to be at the hospital with me when I had Bridger! It meant so much to me since she couldnt be there with Carter and it was so important to me that she was there this time! But anyways thanks mom for everthing you have done for me and for being the best mom ever and the best friend ever! I love you! Happy Birthday!

One month already!

I cant believe that this little guy is a month old already!!! Its crazy how fast time goes after your not pregnant. ha. Bridger is the cutest thing ever. He is such a good baby and I am so glad that we get to have him! Carter is the best big brother. He is always so concerned for Bridger and making sure the "Bridgy" is always happy. I love seeing Carter with him and it is the best part about being a mom! I love these boys and am so glad that I am the one who gets to be their mom!

This time of year i always feel so overwhelmed with blessings! I can't believe how lucky I am. I have the best husband who works so hard to provide for our family so that I can stay home and be a mom. I don't know how I would handle leaving these two everyday. He also works so hard in school. He never complains about having to go to school or work even though I know it has got to be hard! I have the best family! My mom has been my lifesaver since I had Bridger! She is the best mom ever she would do anything for me and i am so thankful for her! Then I have the best inlaws! They are always doing things for us and have helped out a lot with our boys too!

I love being a mom and wife and am so glad that I have the boys I do!

sorry about the pic my camera charger is MIA so I had to use my phone.

My boys!!!

First off I never posted about Matt's birthday!!!! On the 3rd Matt turned 25!! I can't even tell you how much I love Matt! He is such a good father and husband! He works so hard to provide for our family so that I can stay home and be a mom!!! I am so thankful for that! I never need to worry about us being taken care of cause I know he will always take care of us!!! Happy Birthday and thanks for everything you do for us!

Now we have our two boys!!! I seriously couldn't be happier with these boys! They are the best!!!
Carter has adjusted so well to being a big brother and is always wanting to check on Bridger and make sure that he is okay. He gets a little frustrated that Bridger sleeps so much and will stand by his bed and yell awake! awake! cause he wants Bridger to wake up and play with him! He gets so excited when he opens his eyes! And yesterday when I took Bridger to get his billi levels checked I took Carter with me and when he heard Bridger start crying Carter started getting mad at the nurse and telling her to "stop baby owies" He is already so protective of him and I love it!
Carter has also learned how to use Bridger! Last night Carter was in the tup and I stepped out of the bathroom to get his pj's and stuff and then Carter started yelling for me or matt. So Matt goes in there and Carter had gotten out of the tup and gone #2 but missed the toilet. Matt asked him what happened and Carter just looked and him and said "I dunno? Baby bridgy" haha he is already trying to get out of being in trouble and blaming things on Bridger!! ha but he is freaking cute!!! We were laughing so hard! I am so excited to see these guys grow up together and see what is in store for our lives!

For my record!

It is so crazy to think that Bridger is already a week old!!!! He is seriously the best baby and has brought so much joy to our family!!! Carter is the best big brother and loves Bridger so much.. He calls him baby Bridgy which is cute for him to call him that but I don't want that to be his nick name from everyone just Carter... fyi! Its cute for him to call him that but not really for a boy to be called Bridgy forever! So this post might get a little boring and long but I want to write it all down so I don't forget it!
On Nov 3rd I finally had a doctors appointment I was really excited cause I had been having contractions for about 9 days seriously not bh contractions these ones were painful and I was uncomfortable, but when I went to the hopsital they would just send me home. Luckily at my appointment the doc decided to do a stress test on the baby and the results were that he wasn't under stress but i was having contractions every 3 min! (hello that is what I had been telling people for over a week! Im glad they believe me now.) So the doctor was like your in labor and kept me!!! It was really exciting since the third was Matts birthday and Carter was born on my birthday we were thinking how cool it would be for Bridger to be born on Matts. I was admitted to the hospital at 4:00p.m. and was given the epi soon after that.. which by the way I didnt have a epi with Carter and i didnt like it at all until the end i was thankful that i had it! I just don't like the feeling of not being in control and I seriously couldn't feel or move my legs. My mom and Matt had to keep lifting my leg back on the bed cause it kept falling off and that bugged me!! By the time I was ready to have him it was a good thing I had one though! I don't think it would have gone as smoothly as it did with Carter. Anyways, I was dilated to a 8 and 80% efaced for what seemed like forever!!! at a quarter to midnight they decided to start some pitocin to help me finish. I had 2 STRONG contractions and then I knew I was ready! The doc was in doing a c section and so they called him. If he wasn't doing that c section the baby would have been born on Matts birthday but we had to wait a min for him. He finally got there at 12:05 and Bridger was born at 12:12!!! He weighed 7 lbs 13 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. My mom was there which I was so thankful for since she wasn't able to be there when Carter was born it meant so much to me to have her be one of the first ones to see him! She stayed up for the week and helped out SO much with Carter and cleaning my house, doing laundry and cooking for us! I seriously don't know what I would have done without her! She is the best!!! Matts mom came up also and helped babysit me! ha i have been a little stressed about having two kids by myself when Matt is gone so it was so nice for them to help me out! Thanks so much!!!! We love you!

And then there were 4!

We are now a family of four!!! Bridger Dee Mason was born on Nov 4th at 12:12 a.m. just 13 minutes shy of sharing a birthday with Matt! He weighed 7lbs 13 oz and is 20 1/2 inches long!

Coming home!

Carter was so excited to see him! He is the cutest big brother! I can't wait to see them grow up together! I have a feeling we are going to have a lot of sport games in our future! The first thing Carter did after he held him was went and got him a ball! It was way cute!

So far he has been a really good baby and we are loving having him! He is so sweet and fits in perfectly!

Long overdue update!

Well i have been majorly slacking at blogging, but we havent been doing anything too exciting to blog about. Our lives have consisted of school, work, and getting things ready for this baby to come.  Carter is just as cute and fun as ever and making us really wonder how its going to be when we have two little rugrats to take care of. But he loves talking about the baby and looking at all the baby stuff. 

As for the baby. We still dont have a name for him! We really dont even have a lot of options so if you have any suggestions we are open to them! I went on monday for my 35 week appointment. The first due date they gave me was Nov 23. Then at my twenty week ultrasound and since about 15 weeks me and the baby have been measuring for Nov 10. my doc kept my due date the 23 but on monday i had an ultrasound and the baby was measuring 39 weeks and 6 days! With the estimate weight of 8 1/2 lbs already. i seriously think my due date is for sure the tenth and that i shouldnt go 5 more weeks. but the doctor said he wont start me for 3 weeks. so i am just a little annoyed since i am so uncomfortable and am in a lot of pain. I for sure want him to be healthy and that is most important but also they ran some tests on the baby testing the breathing and everything and he passed within 10 min. I know the weight can be off cause they told us carter was 7 lbs and he was only 6 lbs. but im just saying if i go three more weeks i will be having a big boy! And the doc said i will most likley have to have a c section since the baby is so big already which really bums me out! I really dont want a c section they have made a new rule in the hospital that no one under 14 years of age can visit at all not even siblings. and if anyone has been sick they cant either i know it is to keep the hospital germ free and the patients healthy but i just cant imagine not being able to see carter for that long!!! So we are hoping that i can just do it natrually!!!! But other than that we are just waiting for this big guy to get here!!!

These were from his 20 week ultra sound!

seriously anyone ready for a nap?

Ok so i just need to know of this is only me or if during anyone elses second pregnancy they felt like a walking zombie!!! I am seriously loving being pregnant the little guy doesnt stop moving and its awesome... But i seriously think i could fall asleep anywhere.. I dont think i have ever been this tired!!! I dont know why its so much worse with this one. With Carter i worked full time until the day i had him and was still good to go when i got home from work. With this one i wake up make carter breakfast and turn on elmo just so i can snooze on the couch for 5 more min. I dont konw if it has something to do with my hyper active 2 year old that i am chasing around and whenever he sees my eyes close he thinks im playing a game and comes and jumps on me. Im not playing im sleeping dude go play in your room or better yet how bout you take a nap too! Honestly since we have been back from CT Carter has been so good he is on the best schedule and is just a normal two year old who wants to play outside, or with me but i am such a slump these days that i dont have the energy to play with him! I seriously hope that i get energy back soon!!!! I feel like i am slacking as a wife and mom! I still have so much to do to get ready for this baby to come and i just dont have the energy to finish any of it!!! ha well thats just what i have been doing lately! Nothing thinking of sleeping 24/7 and wishing i was a better mom and wife! Did anyone else get tired more with their second pregnancy? Please if you didnt just make me feel better haha!

Carters 2 year old pictures!

Even though Carter turned two two months ago!!! We were a little delayed getting his pictures taken.. But i guess its better late than never! I think they turned out really cute! He is getting so big i just cant believe it! He looks so old in these pictures! He is so much fun! I dont know what we would do without this little guy! I am excited for him to be a big brother and to teach his little bro all of the things that he loves!!!

pretty sick i know but still cute.. and i guess this shows what he is up to these days!
