All you mom's out there

I'm begging for advice. Kylee and I have hit a HUGE rut and I'm not sure I know how to get out of it. A few weeks ago I started feeding Kylee macaroni and cheese. Up until that day she was still eating her baby food with no fuss at all. Now..... she won't touch the stuff. Not only will she not eat her baby food she won't eat anything besides mac and cheese. I have tried EVERYTHING. I tried chicken and stars, cut up pieces of fruit, cooked peas. You name it I have tried it. I can't force her to eat anything else because if I do she won't trust that I am giving her something good to eat and then she won't eat anything at all. So my question is.... Should I worry about this and quit feeding her mac and cheese or should I keep feeding her mac and cheese and just be glad she is eating something? I'm about ready to pull my hair out as it is an all out battle of stubbornness at lunch and dinner and I usually lose. Advice anyone?????

Handle With Care

For lack of things to blog about I have decided to blog about another one of Christian's crazy dreams. Hope you all laugh as much as I did. Love ya Christian.

I was rudely awakened last night at the sound of things moving around such as the lamp, reading material, the alarm clock and such. As I rolled over to see what in the world was going on I see Christian's pillow on the night stand. So I ask as usual "What are you doing?" and he sits there for a minute and then quickly realizes that he was dreaming, grabs his pillow and goes back to sleep. At that point I was too tired to ask him to explain the pillow being on the nightstand so I rolled over and went back to sleep. This morning as he is getting ready for work he asks me if I'm interested in knowing why he was doing what he was doing last night. Um.... HECK YES I AM YOU FREAK OF NATURE. So he begins to tell me that he thought the pillow was an award winning sandwich and that he was worried about smashing the sandwich and the sauces on the sandwich getting all over the bed. So he was strategically moving everything on the nightstand so that he could place his sandwich (the freaking pillow) there. What in the world???? Who dreams about giant sandwiches the size of your pillow? Christian Mason.... Anyone that knows Christian should know how passionate he is about food. Totally makes sense that he is dreaming about giant sandwiches that win awards.
I love you Christian. Thank you for always making me laugh. I will take a good laugh anytime I can get it even if it is at 3 in the morning.

Like Father Like Daughter

Need I say More???

We have lift off

Ok so this is probably not exciting for anyone else but me but I'm posting about it anyway. Kylee got her first tooth today. Can you believe it? 8 and 1/2 months old and she just got her first tooth. I really am so excited for her even though she really has no idea what that weird thing in her mouth is. What a big step and super to cool to see as a new mom.

Happy Birthday Christian

So this is a little late (a day to be exact) due to a very sick child and a very busy day but I couldn't skip this post. Happy 30th Birthday Christian!!!! I just want you to know how much I love you. You truly are the best husband anyone could ever ask for and I really am blessed to have you in my life. Thank you for always making me and everyone around you laugh. You have am AMAZING personality and even better a great sense of humor. You make life so much easier even though I try my hardest to make it difficult. Thank you for your patience and your love. I don't know anyone else that would be able to put up with my freak outs and my yelling fits. And I have never been loved the way that you love me. You always have a way of making me feel like I am the most important person in the world to you. Most of all, thank you for being such an awesome dad. I see in your eyes and your actions just how much you love Kylee. She really is a lucky girl to have you as her dad. We love you so much and we hope that you had a great birthday.

Polar Bear Plunge

On Saturday we went to my parents house to celebrate my mom's birthday. After we finished Christian had this brilliant idea that we should go to my brothers house and do the polar bear plunge in his swimming pool. The polar bear plunge is when you jump into the FREEZING cold swimming pool or any body of water (like a polar bear). There were only a few brave souls that night and no cases of hypothermia (at least that I know of). The crazy part about it is that they jumped in twice. Guess it wasn't cold enough the first time even though Christian's whole upper body was purple and my niece started crying because she couldn't catch her breath when she got out. You can't see the video very well so I have included some pictures of the event. The newest members of the Polar Bear Club are as follows: Christian, Russell (my brother-in-law), Skyler (my nephew), and Tavia (my 8 year old niece). Christian is already planning next years dive and you can already count me out. They are all out of their minds. Anyone interested, the next event will be next year at Yankee Meadow.

If we don't answer.......

we're busy watching these shows every Monday and Tuesday. These are our favorite shows of the year in no particular order. Everyone should check them out as well. We have turned into some serious t.v. junkies.
