Mason turned 1 last month...I didn't take very many pictures and all of the ones with Celestia and Jack were just too bad to put up...I'm talking RUNNY noses, YUCK! So, just pictures of Mason will make it up this time. At least the runny noses didn't stick around for long...Knock on Wood, right?
David's dad came out for the big game last month, we had a blast going to the tailgate parties and the game. The kids were troopers and lasted almost the entire game in the cold. Here are a few pics of us...sorry no action shots of the actual game...I guess I was too busy keeping my kids from kicking the people in front of us, j/k.
I was just thinking, as I folded the pile of clothes on my bed while my kids are sleeping, how grateful I am for naptime....just think...what a miracle it is that my 4 1/2 year old, 2 1/2 year old, and 1 year old all nap at the same time, just about every afternoon. If that's not a miracle, then I don't know what is! Ahhh, the joy of sleeping children :) Better get back to my laundry pile......
Celestia, Jack and Mr. Mason....
Celestia showing off her new silly face to Jack while in the middle of lunch. By the way, where is their lunch? Must be on the floor already. Ha.
Did you ever make these fun bead things when you were little? I did. David thought it was a waste of money, but come on...Celestia was busy for at least 30 minutes getting every bead just right before we ironed them. Jack gave up after about 2 minutes and made me finish his...it is a lot harder than I remember. Maybe because my hands are so BIG? 
See what happens when you leave your baby alone at the counter, too close to his sister's yogurt cup? I wouldn't recommend it. Although he was quite satisfied for a couple hours. Yum.
I must say he does clean up well. Look at this cute 1 year old! Gotta love it!
I know these are late, but I thought you'd still like to see them....
We had a little picnic outside the other day and here is Mr. Mason, checking for any last crumbs...he is a crumb-a-holic!!! He LOVES any leftovers! Can you believe he's going to be 1 in just a couple weeks? Time sure flies!
Here were are at the pumpkin patch. The kids loved the huge "Straw Slides" and went down them over and over again.
Celestia had a Halloween party at school. I was lucky enough to talk David into watching the kids for me for a couple hours while I helped out with the party. She was so happy to have mom with her. All of the kids looked so cute.
My mom, being the great woman she is, came see us for her birthday, which was Nov. 1. We went and picked her up right after Celestia got out of school on Halloween. The kids were sooo excited to see Grandma. We had a blast with her, as we always do! We did a bit of shopping, some trick-or-treating, some sewing, and had a yummy birthday dinner for her at one of my favorite's -P.F. Changs....it doesn't get better than that! The kids loved having her with us for Halloween! 
We LOVE the Zoo....especially the one here in Colorado Springs...set right up against the mountains. It is soo pretty...just a fabulous fall day! The kids had a blast. Here are some pics. The grizzly bear was our favorite....check out Celestia touching his nose. He was so funny pressing himself up against the glass...pretty cool!

David "pinned on" Major at the beginning of the month. It was quite a memorable day, mainly because his dad and grandfather were able to come and be a part of it. His grandfather was sooo excited about it. We had a wonderful time with them and are so glad they made that day so special. Congratulations Daddy!
