September

I have been meaning to blog but with a new baby and a toddler I don't have much spare time, and its much easier and faster to type with two hands and not just one.
The first week of Sepetember Claire started preschool with Teacher Megan. She absolutely LOVES it! She goes two days a week for two hours a day and wakes up every day wanting to go back. It is lots of fun to hear about what she learned about that day and hear all the songs that she has learned. Here is a picture of her first day of school. (Not excited at all)



Mason is already 5 weeks old! Crazy how fast time goes by. He is a super good baby and only gets fussy when tired or hungry. He is starting to smile (consciously now) more and its adorable. I have yet to capture the moment because I am bad at taking picutes. Mason only gets up once in the middle of the night once now and then wakes up about 6:30 in the morning. I like the mornings, even though I am not a morning person, because it is just Mason and I and I have about an hour or more before Claire wakes up where its just me and the baby. That's when I get most of my snuggling in.


I bought Claire a pair of pajamas with a skeleton on the outside so when we were walking through Walmart one day I just had to buy some for Mason too. I love how excited Claire looks in this picture.

Mason

Our little man Mason Michael Adams was born Tuesday August 23rd at 9:25 pm. He weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and was 20 in long. He is perfectly healthy and absolutely adorable! We cannot get enough of him!
I was scheduled to be induced at McKay Dee Hospital Tueaday morning at 8 am. Due to a lot of woman going into labor I had to wait until 11:30am to go in. Everything went really smooth and we welcomed little Mason into the world who scored all 9's on his Apgar. I LOVED all of my nurses and had a good stay. We spent two nights in the hospital and headed home Thursday early afternoon.
Claire absolutely loves her little brother and is the best big sister ever. She loves to get diapers and wipes for me and helps in any way she can. She calls him "little buddy" or "baby Mason." Cutest ever!
Here are a lot of pics from the hospital.

Mill Hollow

It was my moms side (Rindlisbachers) reunion this weekend and we stayed overnight in cabins at Mill Hollow up in the Uintas. It was so much fun. Claire loved sleeping on her own bunk and having lots of kids to play with.
Saturday we woke up and headed out on the four wheeler, which Claire absolutely loves! Claire loves putting on her sunglasses and hat and could be gone for hours. We saw some deer and even a little two point buck which made Claire and my dad very happy.
After the ride we sent Claire out in the canoe with Kade and Megan ( my brother and his wife) for some fishing. She has a little pink pole she likes to reel in. Every time Kade or Megan would catch a fish she would yell, "I got one!" They caught around 14 fish and kept 2, but Claire had to touch all of them. She says that fish are "slimy."
I love being up in the mountains and am sad that Justin missed it due to his Air Force weekend but we are planning on taking him up fishing real soon!

And of course here is a picture of Claire with her favorite person, besides me of course :) Her Nana, my mom!

Zoo

My brother, Breton, and I took Claire to the zoo a little while back and here are a couple pics :)
Claires favorites are the Giraffes and the bird show! She loves the bird show and loves Owls.

Car Seat Covers

I had a little sewing craze and made some car seat covers. I figured Mason didn't need 5 so I made some girl ones too and am selling all the extras. If anyone is interested I am selling them all for $25 each. Call, text or email me :) 801-644-3661 or xaubreyannax@yahoo.com

Super Claire Grace

My mom made Claire a cape with a big "C" on the back. At first she didn't want to wear it anywhere but now she wants to wear it all the time! She calls herself, Super Claire Grace as she flies through the house with her cape and wand.
Her are a couple pics.

Boondocks

A couple Saturdays ago Justins squadron had a family day for all the deployed members families at Boondocks. It was good to see other families of Justins friends and co-workers and see how everyone was doing while our men and woman are in Iraq.
I took my parents, Claire and my brother Kade and his wife, Megan. We had fun bowling, playing arcade games, racing go karts and Claire's favorite- the Bumper Boats.
I only realized I had my camera right before we left but I did manage to get a couple pictures of Claire and Papa riding the boats. Claire has her hood on because they decided to turn on the squirters even though it was only 60 degrees outside. But Papa is a good driver and they managed to stay dry.
