Happy #5!

My nephew, Landon, turned 5 this month. We met up at the bowling alley and then headed to Nana's house for cake and presents. I think he had a great time, and so did Mason. They are such good buddies, it's fun to see them grow up together.

Present opening is always a group activity with these two

They move to fast, it's hard to get everything in focus!

Spiderman cupcakes...made by Nana, of course

Nana and Papa got Landon a huge box full of costumes and
dress up stuff. They had fun trying them all on.

Funny Nativity

After my last post about Mason being quite the "singer", my mom sent me this video. Todd and I both laughed so loud and hard we were in tears.

The next American Idol?

Mason decided to use one of his foam blocks as a microphone the other day. Had I been thinking, I would have recorded his "singing", but I think you get the idea from these pics.


December Fun

It's seems like we've had a very busy month here around the Loy house...and it's only the 13th! I'm pretty proud of myself, by the 3rd I already had our decorations out (including tree and menorah), holiday cards mailed, shopping done, and even some wrapping complete. This is not normally how this time of year goes for me. 

I've been trying to be better about exercising again. I don't mean to use MS as a crutch, but it really does make things difficult. Between the fatigue and then my balance issues, exercise is generally not top of my priority list...then add in the heat issues I have and I'm usually out. But I've been trying, and it does (most of the time) make me feel better, so here's hoping I continue.

Mason went to his first hockey game. The Guns n Hoses game was a lot of fun, and this year it was Anchorage vs Fairbanks, and Anchorage (of course) won. We went with Cameron, Sarah and Landon, and I think everyone enjoyed it. 

Mason loved having the "cheer sticks" to bang together.
They also make great swords.

Landon enjoying his popcorn.

Face painting. He picked "fire axes and flames"

Mason is still completely into playing with all of his birthday gifts. Especially the fire station he got. He is also turning into quite the little football fan, but his choice of teams is definitely questionable. He has decided that because his favorite color is green (and yellow, too) that he is a Green Bay Packer fan. Ugh. Oh well, at least he and Sarah can cheer on their Packers together.
Go Pack Go!

Party time

We have had such a busy weekend, and I am exhausted! Between Thanksgiving and Mason's birthday, then Mason's birthday party...phew!

Saturday was Mason's party, and he had such a great time. His party was a construction theme, complete with "hard" hat party hats. Todd and I got him a new "big boy" bed (a twin) and got rid of his crib/toddler bed. Then he was of course spoiled by family and friends at his party. He has so many new, fun toys to play with now, and to think Christmas is right around the corner!

It's so crazy to think that my baby is already three!

Another amazing cake from my mom
