The last few weeks have been crazy busy. We have been nothing but go, go, go! And thank goodness that is over. Let's start with our roadtrip..it was TERRIBLE! Mason screamed, cried, and whined pretty much the entire time. I finally stopped and got hom Benadryl (mom of the year I know) to see if he would sleep. And seriously, that didn't even really help. It sucked, and made Brad and I both irritable, so let's just say we are not attempting a long car trip again for a very long time! We did the whole trip in 36 hours though, which is not bad timing at all..especially with a screaming toddler. I think we just toughed it out cause we just wanted to get it over with as fast as possible. We got here late and then drove to San Diego pretty much the next day. And Mason was a completely different child on that drive. On the way there he was soooo good. I was shocked! And on the way back he slept the whole time! It was crazy! We had a blast in San Diego and took Mason to the beach for the first time, he loved it! I am so excited for when we get to move there!
We got a little bad news..Brad's school was changed to Virginia so we won't be moving to San Diego until May. The ONLY good thing about this is we have a chance to save up quite a bit of money and pay some things off..which is awesome! But this means more time apart, which I am pretty bummed about. And Brad is having a hard time missing out on Mason, and now he will miss out on Hayden. Hopefully his ship doesn't deploy soon after we get to San Diego either, cause that will suck!
Things have been going pretty well here. Mason is EXTREMELY shy. So he won't really let anyone else hold him or anything. Which is kind of a pain in the butt considering it is getting hard for me to lift my 35 lb child! He has warmed up to my mom and sister Madison now though..so that definitely helps now when I am home. And living with my mom is so amazing having the help! I am so grateful to them for letting us stay here during this time! Don't know what I would do without them.
We went up to Reno for Halloween weekend. It was so fun and I wish I could have stayed longer, but of course I had doctor appointments to go to. Mason got to play with his cousins Katelyn and Kristina and had a blast! I am so glad we got to go. He of course was not so good at the a trick or treating cause of his shyness, but he still had fun walking. lol. We all caught a lovely little stomach bug, Mason and the girls had it while we were there and then my sister in law and myself got it just a couple days ago. Oh man, I hate being sick. So glad I am feeling much better though.
Mason has been doing good! He has been a little whiney and throwing some tantrums lately. But I think with all the changes we have made in the past couple weeks, that is normal. It is just driving me a little crazy. I am trying to stay completly patient hoping it will pass soon! He seems to be in a good mood today, I hope. haha. Anyway..I have to get ready, we are headed out to my dad's for the day! :) I will post pictures later!
