Touch A Truck

The other day I took Mason to an event that we attended last year to celebrate kids! He got to climb on all types of trucks, ride a pony, and take a ride on a train! He also had fun playing inside with various types of toys and jumping in the bouncy houses.

Happy Easter

As soon as Mason woke up on Easter morning he ran into our room to tell us that the bunny left eggs in the backyard. He was so excited this year to follow the bunny's footprints from the backyard and to his basket. He pulled things out of that basket with such enthusiasm. You would've guessed we had given him the world!  We can only hope that he's this excited next year!

The bunny was here!

After eating our breakfast, Mason and I headed off to church before meeting up with Daddy at Grandma Monica & Papa Gene's house. There it was time to hunt for more eggs and open up more baskets!

Egg Hunts

This year we attended the same two egg hunts that we did last year, but Mason was so much more into it this year. He knew he had to go get eggs without Mommy or Daddy and he did an awesome job! We started our morning at a local park for their hunt and then after lunch attended the hunt at church. Mason also insisted on getting a picture with the Easter bunny there.

Easter Bunny

This year Mason kept telling us that he didn't need to go see the Easter Bunny. His response every time I asked was simply "No, I'm good." That was until we went to the mall for an unrelated matter (hence his informal outfit) and he saw the bunny. Luckily there was no line so we made a visit before he changed his mind again!

It is very obvious here that he belongs to Devin!

We have an announcement to make...

Baby Miller #2 is due September 18 and our little man is going to be a big brother! He is super excited and that makes this journey even more fun! He is ready to give his old room away to the baby and is always asking how the baby is doing and how big it is getting. He talks about how to play with the baby, how to make it stop crying, and even asks if he can change the baby's diaper (I'm sure this desire will pass). He will, no doubt, be awesome in his new role! This time around we've been keeping a close eye on this new addition. Here are a few of our sneak peeks!

Disney on Ice

Every year for Christmas we give Mason a "Mommy/Daddy" gift that involves us doing an activity as a family, rather than a toy or something. This year he got tickets to Disney on Ice. We all had a great time and had awesome seats (it was hard to say which one of us was the most excited).

Discover the Dinosaurs

Auntie Erica heard about Discover the Dinosaurs coming to the area and volunteered to go with. As soon as Mason heard about it there was no turning back. There were lots of activities to do including digging for bones and dino rides.
