Mud Pies

One of many things I love about Mason is he's not afraid to get down and dirty. After our day of play outside, he had to be hosed off before coming in the house. My only thought after our adventurous day...I sure hope his little sister is up for some mud pies.

Everybody Loves Kung-Fu Fighting...

With a little closer inspection, I'm sure you'll be able to see one of Mason's favorite toys. On this particular day he was using his 'special toy' as numbchucks, complete with Kung-Fu sound effects. I wish I'd had the video camera because I'm sure we could have won $10,000 from America's Funniest Home Videos. My only thoughts when looking at this photo, "I CANNOT wait until he's teenager to pull out this photo!" (I'm an evil, evil mommy!)

It's a Girl!

Steven and I went to the Dr. on Thursday and the newest Torres will be a girl. I'm not quite sure what to do with a girl, but I'm sure it will involve LOTS of shopping!

First Boo-Boo and Bathtime

Mason has had lots of falls, but no ouchies...until today. Steven and Mason spent most of the day outside cleaning cars, sweeping the garage, and of course, PLAYING. Mason took quite a tumble on the knees. He didn't even cry. He got right back up and was on his merry way. To be honest, I'm surprised that this is his worst boo-boo so far. He's a pretty active little guy.

After spending most of the day playing in the dirt and mud, it was definitely time for a bath. Mason is for sure all boy. His outside time consist of the following: looking for ways to escape from you, finding the biggest, muddiest dirt pile to play in, running and chasing balls, playing with Roxy, and stabbing any crevices he can find in the concrete with a stick. He sure does have fun.

Hope you had a great time with your family this weekend!

Easter Man

Easter is such a great time of year. Steven and I love celebrating our Jesus and the ultimate sacrifice for us. We look forward to sharing this event in history with Mason each year. Another great part of Easter how stinkin' cute Mase is when he's all dressed up. Of course he was the cutest one in the nursery...OF COURSE! I think there were even some little girls trying to get his digits. Good thing he hasn't learned our phone number yet. Anyway, we sure hope you enjoyed your Easter holiday as much as we enjoyed ours. Here's what our Little Man looked like in his spiffy outfit...

He's so GQ!

Zoo Time

Today was officially the last day of Spring Break for me, and Steven was off for Good Friday. We decided to enjoy the beautiful weather as a family today and head to the zoo. Well, I think half of Tulsa County had the same idea today as well. It was CROWDED! Anyway, we had a great time. However, we did not see many of the animals. Little man was not so interested in the animals as he was playing in the dirt piles. Towards the end when he got a little sleepy, he started to look and point. It was very cute. So even though the day didn't go as planned (a leisurely day checking out wild animals), we did spend the day as a family and that's all that matters. You can always gage how much Mase enjoyed his day based on how tired he is at the end. He was exhausted, so I guess he had a blast. He fell asleep as soon as we headed out of Mohawk Park.

Future Pole Vaulter

Recently, Steven found one of the pool time noodles in a closet. It has very quickly become Mason's favorite new toy. What I don't quite understand is his love/hate relationship with the noodle. He spent half of the day yesterday upset because it kept getting stuck on furniture or walls when he was trying to walk around. However, he kept right on playing. After about 30 minutes of the laughing and crying, I finally decided to get the camera. When I looked back through them I noticed what a great pole vaulter Mase will become if he sticks with it...

Signaling he's ready...

Getting ready for the approach...

Not happy with the final score...

Mase, it's okay. We're all still proud of you.
