Calling all Superheros!!

We celebrated Mason's 3rd birthday on Saturday with a Superhero party at Gymboree! His birthday isn't until this Friday, but my brother in law is getting married this weekend so we had Mason's party a little early! This was our first time to have a party at a place other than our house and now I am definitely sold on it! It was so stress free! I did evite's to save time, money and stress and other than that the only planning I had to do was ordering cupcakes! It was so nice to go to his party without having to set anything up, then leave without having to clean!

I thought Gymboree did such a good  job! The sweet lady who hosted it, learned every child's name when they walked in the door and remembered them throughout the party! The kids got to climb, run, jump, sing, dance and do some fun superhero activities! Mason was just elated to be there with all of his little friends! He definitely had a great time!


Here's Mason and his cousin Liev!

Random Picture Post

I have tons of photos that I need to put up here so I thought I would knock it all out at once!

A couple of weeks ago we went to Downtown Roanoke to watch Brave Combo perform! So fun! Mason loved dancing around to the music!

We stopped one afternoon at the Old Alton bridge to take some pictures. Such a cool spot!

I love how neither boy is even remotely looking at the camera here!

Love these three!

I've mentioned this before but Mason is SO into pirates lately. It's pretty adorable and a stage I will definitely miss when he grows out of it!

This morning I took the boys to the Denton square in hopes of getting a couple of good pictures. Not sure what I was thinking since that is never easy by myself! I do love this one though!

They are becoming such little best friends and it melts my heart!

Looking for the "bad duys" through the fence:

I stopped and got Mason a donut at a new place on the square. He was definitely not disappointed!

My sweet little Target buddy!

Connor after his breakfast one morning. He is definitely the better eater of the two boys but is SO messy!!!

Zoo Day!

A few of us in our playgroup took the kids to the Dallas Zoo yesterday. It was such a great day for it! PERFECT weather! We were also pretty proud of ourselves for making it by ourselves with two kids each! Mason absolutely loved running around with his little buddies. Here's some pictures from our day.

I made sure to get quick shot of the boys together, confined to the stroller before we went in! I knew this would be my only chance!

All of the "big kids"!

The babies! (minus Ella!)

I have to say, I am so impressed with the Dallas Zoo. The new Safari section is so neat. This giraffe was so close that you could see his eyelashes!

Lunch time! While the older kids ate at a table, the babies had a little picnic!

I love his sweet face!

Here's Mason and Carter "roaring" like a tiger. I'm sure all the people around us really loved us! :-)

Connor and Lucy!

Of course we had to stop at the kid's water area before leaving. It's safe to say that Mason was SOAKED by the end of this!

Such a fun day!
