Happy 6th Birthday Mason

 My oldest and aspiring blackbelt leader turned 6 years old yesterday. Kid is getting so big. I remember everyone telling me when he was first born that the time was going to go by so quickly and IT DID! I don't think he is big enough to do some things sometimes, like the big water slides, but he is. It is time that I start accepting that my baby is now a big boy!

Mason just got his new belt. He is officially a white belt with Superior Martial Arts
For Mason's birthday we celebrated early by going to a local water park. Massanutten. THE BOYS HAD A BLAST! They were running all over the place all over the main melt down structure. Even Collin was going on the bigger kid slides. No one could tell him no. (he does need to learn to wait his turn though) Elyse and I chilled in the baby 1 ft deep pool and watched Mason and Collin have fun and daddy try and keep up! At the end of the day, Mace and I went down the super big kid body slides and tube slides. Again, me internally freaking out because he wasn't big enough. "what if he fell out!" But we both were screaming, laughing and I think it was one of the best times we have had! Makes us so excited for our upcoming Disney trip!

For Mason's birthday we set up a slip n slide by H2OGO! Double Water Slide Bestway! It is perfect for our big hill out back and the boys had a BLAST! 


I found this Kit Kat and M&M cake design, months ago on Pinterest, and he wanted it! It is all he has been talking about for months. So to finally see it, in real life, he was excited. But...dude only took a couple bites and decided that "it has too much sugar!" All that work for 2 bites from the birthday boy. I am pretty happy though that he realized that it was a sugar overload which means I am doing something right with teaching him things in moderation! Elyse sure enjoyed it though! 

To make the cake it is pretty self explanatory. Make your favorite cake, whatever flavor. Mason decided on Chocolate cake, with confetti frosting between the layers and chocolate frosting. Once cake is frosted place the Kit Kats around the edge and fill with mini M&M's. I made 2 8x8 cakes, cut each in half to make a 4 layer cake. And it took 38 Kit Kat's to circle the cake and 1 bag of mini M&M's. Don't need big pieces of it as it is super rich! 





Happiest of happy birthdays to my big boy Mason! I am so excited to see what this next year brings for him!

Elyse Cheyenne: 8 Months


STATS: 
~15+ pounds

This month has been huge in her milestones. She is now starting to crawl. It is more like the worm but still she is crawling and getting around more than she was. Plus, her personality is really coming out and she is finally laughing and smiling a lot more. Not sure if it was delayed because of the double frenectomy and recovery from that over the last couple months or but man, this past month, BABY GIRL LOVES TO GRIN!
 
Have fun with the picture overload! She is really starting to look more and more like my mini-me!

Elyse Cheyenne: 7 Months

STATS: 
14 pounds 13 ounces

Baby girl is 7 months old, well we are a little late in posting this but the pictures are for the right time. I really wanted to get a weight on her and her appointment was on the 10th. She had a follow up for the second half of her flu shot and I wanted to know how much weight she had gained. And really she is really doing well! She gained almost 1.5 pounds pounds in the past month, almost 2 months.Which is AMAZING! Her double frenectomy worked very well! 

Have fun with the picture overload! Man, she is such a cutie!

Elyse Cheyenne: 6 Months

Baby girl is officially half a year old! CRAZY Thought but man, time is just speeding by. She is getting so big and feisty and her personality...SHE IS A SPITFIRE! She is a generally well tempered baby, but she has found her voice when she wants to. And it is a specific cry of "MOM! COME GET ME!" that she really wails on! Gotta love her though.
STATS: 
13 pounds 6.8 ounces
24.25 inches tall

Her favorite activity: Watching her brothers. You can tell that she just loves them so very much because she allows her big brother to carry her around the house. And she loves getting hugs, kisses and attention from them. She still doesn't roll from back to front. But she has gone up onto all 4's prepping for crawling. She will sit tripod with her hands bracing her on the ground but she just prefers to be on her belly and watch that way, or have her oldest brother hold her. She isn't too picky.

6 months here and gone. I am so blessed that this little sweet pea is part of our family. I am striving every single day to be the best example for her. So that I can show her why having a healthy body is so important and to love yourself no matter what. In the end. I want to be the best example for her to help her not have to through what I went through as a teen. 

PICTURE OVERLOAD! 
Kisses for mommy


She even joined me in a couple workout videos: 


My mini-me!


March 23 she got up onto all 4's! Her first yoga pose! Momma's so proud!!

Kisses for brother

Elyse Cheyenne: 5 Months

 I don't want to be writing another one of these because that means she is growing up. Getting older. And it is going by way too quickly. I love having a little baby in the house, and Elyse is such a great little baby! Boy howdy this month has been the month of growth, she had her 3 month growth spurt a month late, and PERSONALITY! Girlfriend has quite the fun personality. She is mostly serious but now she is starting to giggle and laugh and it is the cutest thing! And notice this month, her main pictures with the quilt made by my mom, she is all smiles and giggles!

 STATS: 
~13 pounds. (Matt weighed her on the scale with him.)

She still loves to watch her brothers and is actually starting to try to move and get up on her knees. She isn't officially up on her knees but you can see she is trying to figure it out. Before we know it, she is going to be hot on their heels chasing after them! Which of course they will love! She still won't roll from back to front. She likes to chill on her tummy and watch more than anything. 


And let's just talk about the fact of how much of a daddy's girl she is. She prefers to be held by him when he is home. She just relaxes into him. When he is home, I am just the food source to her. But daddy. She loves her daddy! Most of the pictures at her "watch me grow" session of her smiling are because of Matt because she was all eyes for him! And Matt just soaks it all up. He will deny how much he loves it if you ask him but man, he is a sucker for her! Which he should be! 

Ready for picture overload? Here are some of my faves from this past month. Have fun!
