Happy Father's Day


This was Ryan's very first official fathers day!! It was so much fun! We were lucky to have had Aaron, Rebecca & Adam here too, to celebrate the wonderful day, and it was Aaron's first fathers day as well! Since we couldn't convince them to have breakfast in bed together we had a breakfast bar, which included ..pancakes, omelets, bacon, fruit, and for dessert we had maple bacon cupcakes...Yum!!! We also  had creamy root beer, and a mason jar full of treats! Thank goodness for pinterest to help be plan this fun filled morning!!!
The delicicious creamy root beer.. This is Aarons favorite kind of pop!

Father's day turned out just great! I think i had the most fun... hahah but that's besides the point. Mason is so lucky to have such an amazing Dad. Mason gets so excited every time he gets home from work and laughs and laughs. Ryan can get Mason to laugh more then me... im secretly jealous but love it all at the same time! Ryan's the best and I am so grateful for him and all he does for our family! Happy Father's Day

Fun fun fun!

So this week or so we had so many fun adventures!! Mason attended his first birthday party (khloes) and had a blast !!!

Today we got to go to liberty park with some friends! We went to the aviary feed the birds and watch the bird show! I even volunteered in the show and got to feed another bird!! My favorite bird was the flamingos they are so interesting and I have never seen one in real life (well that I can remember) We are so glad we have such good friends after enjoying the birds we cooled down at the splash pad!! Then headed over to the paddle boats. What an adventurous day. Mason loved it he was soo good all day! And now he's in bed asleep lets hope he sleeps better tonight!

As for his sleeping habits.. We have been having the hardest time to get him to sleep. We try the Ferber method (cry it out) and it just is to hard to let him cry himself back to sleep at 1 in the morning.we have tried the CIO for about 2 weeks and mason still crud for over an hour... I finally gave up on this method when one might he got sick and I felt sooo bad I just cried!!! I feel so bad for Ryan bc he's so sleep deprived and still goes to work everyday with a smile! So we are trying a couple of new methods the no tear where I pick him up when he crys then put him back down when he's calm and repeat as needed... Let's be honest tonight is the first night and I'm sure it will be over 100 of pick up and put downs put I'll try anything over the CIO method right now! Also we are trying to dream feed him at 10 right before we go to bed to see if it helps him sleep longer! I serious feel like no one has as hard of a time getting their baby to bed as we do! Everyone makes it sound soo easy!! Reality check!!!! Baby's are not easy!!!! They are not dolls they are so special but need you all the time!! I mean all the time!! But I wouldn't give it up for anything I love my little mason! And I'm even more in love with our little family!

Summer is here with soo many fun things to do! We also have family coming this weekend which we are so excited about !!! Ok enough enough until next time!
