Memorial weekend

Okay, so the two aren't really from Memorial weekend, but that's okay.

First we have a picture of Kendall and I on Mother's Day before the baby dedication at church. Notice how tired she looks...she actually fell asleep on the stage in my arms during the ceremony. Hey - at least she didn't scream!

Here's the Mason side of the family (I know it was hard to tell that) at our picture party. Mom & Dad had just returned from D.C. and sister & bro-in-law had just returned from CA, so we got together to look at pictures. This picture reminds me of the part on Sesame Street where you pick which thing doesn't belong...one of these things is not like the other...
Okay - finally a beach shot...family sunset picture on the sound.
Kendall before her beach trip. Her bathing suit didn't fit, so this outfit sufficed. Cute bow, huh?
So we were eating dinner and KK decided to throw a fit, so I jokingly put the corn up to her and she grabbed it and started slobbering all over it. Pretty funny stuff.
Laying on the beach...just like her mommy! Except I couldn't pay for a tan this pretty.
Surprisingly enough, she didn't scream when I stuck her toes in the frigid water.
Mommy feet and baby feet. And yes, she does have a way cute anklet on.
I was supposed to be in this shot, but at least I don't have anything in my teeth.
Knocked out after her day at the beach!

Beach bound birthday girl

So today's my birthday...the big 2-8. Man, I'm getting old.

We're heading to the beach today until Monday which I'm SUPER excited about...this is the first holiday weekend I can ever remember James being able to get off, so I'm pure thrilled. I've got Kendall's bathing suit, cover-up and hat all ready to go even though I'm paranoid about using sunscreen, so she'll probably never actually make it outside. I'll at least have pictures for you guys!

My hubby surprised me with a certificate to the Umstead Spa in Cary...I'm gonna get a pedicure. Which means I should be go to go toe-wise for the summer with this pedicure and the one he got me for Mother's Day (is he trying to tell me something?)

I'll post pics as soon as we get back (translation: two weeks after we get back).

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!

Happy Mother's Day

I hope you all had wonderful Mother's Day because you are all wonderful mommy's! (That is unless you're: #1 a man reading this and I totally can't understand why you'd be interested in this blog if you are or #2 not a mommy yet.)

Our day was very relaxing and fun. Kendall was dedicated at church and the poor thing fell asleep on stage in the middle of the ceremony. I told Pastor Clay that he was going to have to amp up his messages since he is already putting her to sleep (just a little humor, of course). James had to head to work (can't rich people EVER eat at home during important days???), but I headed to mom's for lunch - steak and shrimp...SO GOOD! My grandma (Ronnie's mom) joined us and that was nice. Then we all took naps (praise God for Nana who doesn't mind sleeping with Kendall laying on her arm) and rented Enchanted. Such a cute movie!

James brought dinner home for the two of us (okay, I guess there are perks to the job) and then we hit the sack. Oh, and he did very well in remembering me...a certificate for a pedicure, 2 hanging plants for the porch and a sweet/funny card. He set the mark pretty high for future Mom's Days.

We didn't take any pictures (duh!), but we did take video, which I'll post if ever I figure out how.

4-month checkup

My sweet baby girl is 4 months old! We went for her checkup this morning and she's doing great. She weighs 12 pounds, 3 ounces (25%) and is 24 3/4 inches long (75%). I can't remember her head circumfrence, but it is 75% as well.

The doctor (Dr. Fisher for those of you Regional Peds peeps out there) said that she has a great personality and is developing well!

She got her 4 shots and 1 oral vaccine...I'm telling you - that's a cry like none other. Poor baby!
