Fun with Mawmaw and Pawpaw

Ate our first Black and white at Dewar's YUMMY

 Mason never lets Pawpaw out of his sight.

Special Day

So I'm not sure how many people read this blog but I'm turning it into more of a journal so if your wondering why it's becoming more personal just feel like you found my diary and you reading it. No because then you would feel bad or not but this is free game. Plus we are away from all of our family and want to let them be apart of our day to day lives.

Today Matthew Logan Garcia was blessed at our church. We are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Matthew was blessed by his Dad, Pawpaw and the Bishop few but all very important men. There were also two other baby blessings so it was fun to see three babies blessed.

We have been looking forward to this day and when it was Matthew's special moment I was like it's here and it's gone. Why do special moments happen so fast, I've decided I need to have more.

We love Matthew it was so wonderful to see friends at church again and feel there love ans support.

We were all so tired after church we have yet to get a picture together and the battery died on my camera so more pictures will be coming soon ish.

Love you all

All Garcia babies in the last few generations have worn this ring on there blessing days Mark Lucas's Dad did Lucas and all his brothers and Matthew and his brother. I'm not sure how many generations but it is a tradition we LOVE!

Snake Pretzels

Awhile ago we took a tour of a local pretzel store it was wonderful and it ended with a free pretzel that the kids helped make. Since them Mason has a new love of pretzels or maybe he gets that from his Uncle Bryan. So today I told Mason we were going to make pretzels which he then asked if we were going to make snakes.

He loved helping roll them out

They weren't my favorite I've made but I loved making and then eating them with in 30 min.

Mason was excited to give Daddy his!

my helper got distracted. 

See Mason Run

Mason loves to run he gets those arms pumping and a start off kick and he is off.

We found his old owl hat and he loves wearing it he pretends he is a bird and spread his arms like wings while standing tall on a chair and waves them up and down.

Mom's back was hurting so we sat on the side lines.

This was the first time we had Matthew uncovered outside usually he is in his sling on mom so people don't try and see him. It was cute all the kids ran over to say good bye to the new baby. Man we love new babies.

life as we know it

Life as we know it is much different, but a good different. We sleep less or you could say we appreciate the sleep we do get. There is no longer two in our bed but three and more often then we would like four. Lucas is a father of two weird to think that not to long ago he was the eligible  bachelor on Darwin. I can't believe that I have two kids I feel to young for this, going to Walmart wears my body out. Mason he was changed the most. Maybe we are more aware of the difference between him and his brother, but he is huge. He is such a great helper with Matthew he loves to throw away his diapers and rock him when he cries. He thinks it's really funny to scare Matthew, his arms and legs fly up into the air and he takes in a deep breath.

Life is different but we are happy. We wish we could be closer to family but we are glad they are only a days drive away.

With General Conferance for the LDS church we were able to watch and learn. We came away with the desire to be happier by making small changes in our life. For me reading scriptures daily has been a challenge finally a light bulb went on my not listen to the scriptures everyday. It's working and I love it am I happier? I think so it's nice to start my day off thinking about the Savior and his ministry.

Life as we know it is changing, we are trying to be happier and we are excited for the summer and swim time! This mom is a fish and I'm excited to help Mason learn to swim this summer, get tan and lose this baby weight.

Conference Weekend

I am so lucky having a baby Easter weekend and then conference the next has been wonderful! I love that I can sit at home recover and enjoy hearing God's word.

It's so wonderful that every six months we get to sit and think about how we are doing and what we need to do to be better and be happier.

I think that is going to be my personal goal for the next while is to be as happy as I can everyday.

Mason did pretty well hanging around the house he LOVED playing on his new drum set from aunt Vanessa.

I forget how much newborns sleep.

He is a week old today and we can feel that he has gain weight already 10 lbs.

Here is Dad trying to fix taxes. Mom did them wrong and he figured out we deserve 1,000 more then we got! Blessings of having a great hubby.
