Don't Mind the Smell, It Is Just My Dirty Laundry

I feel like lately I have been losing the fight in "Christa Vs The House". It has been a slow process, but one that has happened one closet battle at a time. Well today I decided enough is enough, I am going to take back my dignity and the ability to walk in to my closets!
I decided to start with Mason's room, unfortunately this is what it looks like most days when he is playing :(



The closet - outgrown clothes looking for a home and toys that I don't want spread out with all the others in the room.

After

Even room to put up his new birthday tent.

I even had Mason help me make labels so he can put the toys where they go...we will see.

So...take that, House...any body want to help with a garage sale? Speaking of the garage...:(

Okay so does anybody else have closets that need a little fighting...or is your laundry clean?

It's My Game and I Can Cry If I Want To!

Mason started his first season of soccer. Here are a few pictures of today's game...why not any action shots?!? Well there were none to be had, at least not of Mason. Of course as soon as we get in the car he says "I want to play soccer"...well son remember when everyone was on the field kicking the ball, that was your chance! Oh well, some day when he is a super star soccer player Michael and I will look at each other with pride in our eyes and say remember when he cried through his entire first season:) I'm only here for the snacks!

A night at the park

Last weekend we enjoyed an evening walking around the park. Mason got to put his fishing pole in the water, I would not call it fishing since we did not have bait and he caught a grand total of nothing:) None the less we had a good time!

Here is Mason showing me his rock. To me this pictures sums up a three year old boy, a rock in one hand and sticks in the other!

Brayden chilling in the stroller, this was right before he fell asleep.

A Splish Splash Birthday

As posted earlier Mason loves to play in the water, so we thought it would only be appropriate to for an August birthday to include the water.


Here is the cute sign that Melanie made but nobody got to see because it rained the entire 45 minutes prior to the party.

Anytime I asked Mason what he wanted for his birthday he would reply "some cupcakes."



What water party is complete without water gun party favors?

Enjoying the slip and slide. Happy Birthday Mason!!!!

Okay folks, this is the point where I tried to make a slide show of the remaining pictures, but honestly I did not like the way it looked...so I just decided to upload a ridiculous amount of pictures here.
My favorite niece:)






Second cup cakeThird cupcake...but it was his birthday and that was his one request.

Noah was being a tiger
