Both of my babies are getting so big :( This morning in the car Eliya said "NO SIMEON. Go on feet!" I looked back to see Simeon chewing on his socks. Such a good big sister. 3 days past two and she has the bossy thing down.

Simeon, on the other hand, is just sweeter and cuter by the day. He has a little cold right now and last night he woke up coughing. When I went to get him he had a big smile for me in spite of the congestion that was keeping him up.

Eliya's newest thing is to hitch a ride on the back of his walker. He pulls her around like the queen that she is :)

Cutie Eliya with her butterfly face paint

I took Eliya to a sleeping beauty high school play, so she wore a crown naturally... they were doing face painting and she got this really cute butterfly painted on her face.

Help me Mama

I'm almost too cute to be eaten

Mama just woke me up on my birthday!

Halloween

Eliya as Minnie Mouse!!!

Eliya and Simeon were with Nana and Papa for Halloween. They went to a few neighbor's houses. At one house, a boy with what I am assuming were fangs, came up behind her and she said "oh, big teeth!" two different times. Then, of course, she wanted to be picked up.

Playing in the pool

Mama and her baby boy

We just love to play! Swinging is a favorite.

Eliya got a doll house from her Grandma while we were in Gulf Shores.... What fun it has been! She LOVES it.

WE LOVE GULF SHORES!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures of Eliya and Simeon from Gulf Shores this past week. They had a ton of fun! The R.V. park had a play ground and a kiddie pool! What a great idea!

As soon as I find a few minutes, I will post more pictures.

Sweet Simeon

I just love this little boy. He is getting so big. He is starting to sit up some. I don't trust his balance on the floor, but he sat up on the bed for about 3 minutes the other day! He is eating cereal now too. He generally sleeps really well and is overall just a sweet little boy!

Eliya and Simeon

Here is a really cute picture from a local festival that we went to on Saturday.

Our first little accident

Eliya had her first scary accident! I didn't see it happen but she was standing near the fireplace mantle screaming and after she calmed down I asked her where "hurt" happened and she pointed to the fire place and then her eye. I am just so thankful that it wasn't any worse. Brick could definitely have done more damage so I believe that God was protecting her.

cool picture last night

The setting sun was awesome. By the time I got the camera out and changed the batteries it wasn't quite as neat but... I love how you can see just a tiny sliver of moon.

Life is FINALLY easier

When we first brought Simeon home, I seriously thought WHAT HAVE I DONE!!?! I had a fussy newborn and a 17 month old that didn't understand why her world was being turned upside down. Thank God, after Simeon was about 3 months old things started getting easier. Now, I can't imagine life without BOTH of them. They are intereacting more these days. Simeon stares at Eliya just looking for a reason to laugh at her. She definitely gives one too, she dances and squeals to get a response from him. My heart is literally overflowing and I find much of the joy in my life from these two precious gifts from God.

Welcome to The Mason Family Journal

The main purpose of this blog is to gush over my precious babies. Eliya Love is almost 2 years old and her sweet baby brother, Simeon Al is almost 6 months old. They are one of the loves of my life. Scott and our maker and savior, Jesus Christ are the other loves of my life.

I am hoping to use this journal/blog to record some of the things that the babies do and keep family and friends "in the loop" even though they may not live near.
