Game Day!

We just got back from our weekend adventure to Tulsa to watch the Cougars play TU. We rented a 15 passenger van (a.k.a the fun bus) and rode down with some friends. I've learned that every trip doubles in fun when you ride on a bus or 15 passenger van. I wish I would have gotten a picture of the whole crew standing in front of it so you could see just how large it was but forgot before we had to return it.
The kids had so much fun. Mason even proudly wore his cougar shirt. Before the season even began I'd always show him his shirt, point to the cougar and growl real loud because scary is cool for little boys right? Wrong. For the Arizona game I went to put it on him without thought. He freaked out started back stepping as fast as he could. My whole idea of getting him excited about his shirt had backfired. He was terrified of the cougar and screamed and wrestled me as I attempted to get it over his head.
Prior to the game we went to the tailgate party with the rest of cougar nation to eat some good barbeque, hang out with cosmo and watch the cheerleaders. Mason was having a great tantrum because mom and dad said no to the "all you can eat cookie buffet". It took Cosmo to distract him enough to quit crying.

I love BYU football. It's to bad the outcome was a big "L" but oh well, the trip was a blast. The game didn't end until 12:10. We knew that once it hit midnight of the sabbath they were doomed. J.K. Charlotte is a true fan, just like her mom. She cheers and cheers and really seems to care. She would constantly remind us of the scoreboard with what yard line the ball was on, what the score was, how much time was left. Finally with about 5 minutes to go in the 4th quarter she laid down during a time-out and never came back up. When we woke her up to take her home the first words out of her mouth were "Did we win?" Then walking to the car she asked if she could go on another trip to watch BYU football when she turned 8. I'm pretty sure there are no other 6 year old girls out there with that request.

Two Two Two!!!

Blow!!!

I didn't notice that the boy behind the cars has his pants down until just now.

The whole family loved the yummy yummy cupcakes!.
I'm about two weeks late posting b-day pics but better late then never. What can I say, I love my boy. The Wiggles were the theme of birthday number two. Mason knows each wiggle by name and color. I'm sure I shouldn't brag about this but it is a little impressive for a two year old. We took the kids to the Wiggly Play center and got our fill of the music, the yummy yummy cafe (fruit salad, hot potato, spaghetti) and big red cars. It wasn't a real big Friday night hang out spot because by 6:00p.m. our family really were the only people there.
Chris was the master cake decorator including each wiggle color. I wanted to do this cute fondant polka-dot cake but really ran out of time. Chris stayed home from work that day and we went and played all day instead of sitting home, neglecting him on his b-day, decorating a cake as I otherwise would have done.
After the cake we did presents and played with his brand new trains and tracks. He loves them!!! On the information sheet it said, this is for ages 3+, and then in parentheses it said (do not buy your 2 year old toys made for 3 year olds) you can imagine that I felt pretty pathetic.

Happy Birthday Mason!
