i haven't been great at blogging lately. our life seems to be in a varied state of controlled chaos (some days are way lighter on the controlled part!) i may not take as many pictures as i'd like, and i'm certainly not posting them as often, but i am trying more than anything to enjoy the ride.

enjoy the ride
way back in july (i know, i know... bad blogger), we took a quick getaway to kemah to enjoy a little family time after a LONG three weeks of nights for brad. we ate, we laughed, we wondered what we were thinking with two little monkeys and two half-crazy adults in one hotel room, but more than anything, we just enjoyed the ride. proverbially and literally.

a few cute shots (albeit a little blurry from the iphone) when we happened to arrive a bit early for church

a girl and her cars...
it doesn't seem to matter how many of her toys are around, she always migrates to her brother's cars.

ka-pow! superhero party time
mason's actual birthday was on a wednesday and unfortunately, daddy was out of town. madison and i had a low-key celebration that evening with our birthday boy and let him open a present.
he was pretty excited, as you can see.
not bad for the slow iphone!
while i'm sure he would love the regular sized legos,
we have a little sister who puts EVERYTHING in her mouth.
she has yet to choke on a duplo!:)
on saturday, mason had his super hero swim party! at 10 am on the nose it started sprinkling, but thankfully it cleared up within 10 minutes. for the second year in a row, his party was held at our neighborhood pool. i love that they let us rent it out & the set-up is super easy. the 1 foot deep pool and splashpad is perfect for crazy toddlers.
the invitation
invitation details
what's a party without cupcakes?!
sugar 'em up and send 'em home! :)
love this girl
grammy & pappy
4!!
captain america approved the cupcakes
to steal a line from our bodie friends...
my heart just smiled.
mason's big present was a big boy bike.
he outgrew his about 6 months ago and we finally replaced it.
of course it had to be lightning mcqueen.
while mason checked out his bike, grammy & pappy dressed madison in her brother's new basketball shorts. they thought it was hilarious and madison was so proud of herself in brother's clothes!
i still can't believe 4 years have passed, but what a wild ride it has been. mason, we love you more than words can express. you were definitely worth the wait!

our favorite 4 year old
how on earth did this boy grow up so fast?! words to describe our may-may: silly. funny. talkative. good-natured. hard-headed. energetic. jokester. he can have us belly laughing one minute and pulling our hair out the next. he has taught us that parenthood is simultaneously the most challenging and rewarding responsibility we've ever had.
thank you Lord for this indescribable gift.
