Our last 1/2 of September

We have certainly been busy the last few weeks, mostly keeping occupied with children. We traveled to California for Mason's 3rd Birthday party and this past weekend we watched Scott and Kristy's (Joe's brother and his wife) kids McKaden and Macie for the weekend while they traveled out of town to attend a funeral. It was a compliment that they trusted us and that the kids were happy to spend the weekend and didn't cry to go home. The best thing about kids are the candid pictures you can take that explain it all. Lot's of pictures this post, but hopefully enjoyable!

BACK IN CALIFORNIA

Carter happy to see Munga and Bucca again

Mason not wanting to let Carter enjoy all the attention

Mason taking over the attention...


Bucca telling Mason, "Don't squeeze the Charmain"
( A phrase he tells Mason when he is squeezing on Carter too much)

Mason trying to get one more squeeze in.... He just can't help himself.

Bucca feeding Carter and enjoying his one on one time

Carter is a MOVER and a SHAKER...

He can really move and he was barely 5 months!

Carter has ton's of personality....

You can see it in his eyes! So Dang CUTE

HOLY TOLEDO BATMAN.....IT'S MASONS BATMAN PARTY!

Everyone was getting into the theme...

This is Bruce, not Bruce Wayne...

It is Mason's best friend Tyler's Grandpa

And this is Carter showing off his Batman look...

But it looks a bit more like a KKK member if you ask me?

The party was a riot... The boys had relay races

Here they are in a potato sack race

Tons of gifts! So many fun Batman gifts...

The Batman suit Bucca and Munga gave him

Mason loves to dress up

Showing off his 'muscles' in the new Batman suit

Time to blow out candles...Darling cupcakes!

Munga and Bucca having a 'Batman' moment...

Our McKaden and Macie Weekend

Macie and Mac (McKaden) sitting in the tree house

We played all sorts of things to keep them entertained...

playdough, races, toys, and sidewalk chalk

Then we told stories by the fire after bath time

We even roasted marshmallows (which was a hit)

The next day we took Mac to his soccer game

Which BTW they won!

We headed to McDonald's for takeout and then to a park

And....then to Dinosaur Park in Ogden...

Joe and the kids posing by one of the dinosaurs-

Macie covered her ears alot because they had speakers

that broadcast the growling sounds of the different species
