learning something new

so this week I learned that I have a little slot on the side of my computer for my camera's memory card-- who knew!?!?! My friend Katie actually told me about it when she was trying to help me get the digital picture frame I got Bobby for our anniversary to work - anyway- the point of the story is now that I found it I am taking way more pictures.... because (dont laugh) I get excited that I dont have to hook up my camera to my computer - I can just put the memory card in the litte slot (actually to be honest it probably takes the same amount of time, but this is new & exciting for me)

I also took a bunch of pics of Mase-dog in his Halloween costume but you will have to wait to see it until I get our Halloween cards go out!

8 months old!

On the 23rd, Mason turned 8 months old-- I can't believe he is that old already! The time has just flown by-- it seems like he should be about 3 months old! He is creeping around like nobody's business-- it is so funny to watch him move around- what I love most is if I am sitting on the floor, he will crawl onto my lap and want me to pick him up. :)

Today it was just me & Mason at home- Bobby was gone to the Vikings game with some friends- I wish I would have been able to go but I have no extra vacation time - darn maternity leave!! It was sooo cold & windy outside so Mason & I stayed inside all day - I was "Amber the Builder" today and lowered the mattress on his crib & put on some new brackets ~ what a pain that was! Then I went through his clothes- it is amazing to me how fast he grows out of things -- and of course we took a ton of pictures....I just get out my camera now and Mason instantly smiles - I cant decide if he is thinking 'yay I love to get my picture taken 100 times' or 'ugh I will just smile to get it over with' -- I'm thinking #1!

a new fridge....

Where has this day gone? Bobby had drill this weekend so Mason & I had Mommy & Mason day-- and what did we spend the day doing??? We were planning on going to the Tiny-Tot Expo in Newfolden but late this morning when I went into the fridge I noticed it didn't seem that cold-- then I checked in the freezer & I could scoop out icecream with my finger-- our fridge is on the fritz! SO instead of spending the day @ Tiny Tots we went to Grand Forks to search for a new fridge.

First we went to Lowes and NO ONE would help me-- there were 4 guys just standing around completely oblivoius that I was there-- I was MAD - so mad that I called back and complained to the manager. Thankfully it was a girl and she was super nice... and sadly as much as I bragged to everyone that I was NOT going to buy my fridge there after my bad experience today, that is where we ended up getting our fridge from. They are coming tomorrow night to deliver it- I hope I measured right so it fits! Please keep your fingers crossed for me-- I never did very well in shop class! I would have liked to get something a little more "fun" but the space in our kitchen is SO SMALL - we couldn't get a fridge bigger than 31" :(

2 years + 2 days

Bobby & I have officially been married 2 years + 2 days today! I am married to the sweetest guy on this earth - Bobby has had this week off work and so we had decided to go to the Dairy Queen for a little lunch date - but when he picks me up he starts driving toward the other end of town, saying he had to bring something to my grandma's house first. But instead, we go to the park and Bobby has a picnic blanket spread out and a boquet of roses! We had a wonderful picnic together, and the weather was perfect! I was bummed I had to go back to work, but thanks so much for being so sweet babe! It's so awesome that even though he no longer has to "impress" me, he still does every day! Below is a picture I took with my camera phone of our lunch date. I love you honey!

Then Tuesday night my grandma (Mason's GREAT grandma) came to watch Mason so Bobby & I could go to a movie. We went to see Halloween 2, which is not the most romantic movie but a movie we wanted to see (by we, I mean mostly Bobby but I like the movie because it has a kind of "social worky" feel to it --- like maybe if Michael Meyers would have had a social worker in his life he wouldn't kill so many people!!!) Then we came home and exchanged presents- I got Bobby a digital picture frame that I dont even know how to use and Bobby got me a ton of scrapbooking stuff, an outfit, and some Naughty Monkey boots-- I had never even heard of them before but they do have some cute shoes!!!

Tonight we went and got Mason's 7/8 month pictures taken - can't wait to get them back. He is making THIS new face all the time now! And our daycare mom told me this morning that she was sure she saw Mason scooting toward another baby @ daycare yesterday!

SOOOOO glad tomorrow is Friday!!! Time for beddy-bies!

it's been awhile!

It's been awhile since my last post- again! Things just continue to be busy for us ~ just working full time and being a mommy seems to consume all my time - which is fine with me (besides the working part!)

So what has been new in the Buzick household since Sept 2nd? Not much just keeping busy at work and trying to make the most of every minute of family time on the weekend! Friday the 4th we brought Mason to a doctor appt (follow up from ER visit Sunday night) -- he is doing just fine - I told the doctor Friday afternoon that I was worried that Mason wasn't rolling from his tummy to his back yet (only from back to tummy, which he learned from Dillon over the 4th of July)... Dr. Shelton said not to worry about it but if he's still not doing it @ his 9 month checkup he would refer him for physical therapy. Well I think Mason heard him because the next day, he was just hanging out on his tummy and then "plop" all of a sudden had rolled onto his back and then smiled at me. I think he was saying "mom I could have done this the whole time but I like when you come pick me up instead."

We also had Bobby's mom over Saturday-Sunday. Our original plan was to go to DL to spend time @ my grandparents' condo and see our friends Drew & Meg - but Drew & Meg had a wedding in Vegas, and Bobby's mom wanted to come see Mason! She got him the cutest shirt that has a little chick on it and says "Chicks Dig Me." We spent all of Saturday night watching "Beyond Belief - Fact or Fiction?" I used to watch that show in high school! Now it is on the "chiller" channel. Does anyone remember this show?

Wow this entry is getting really long especially with no pictures--- this weekend just flew by! Went out with the work girls Friday night and then to Brittney Spears with Meg & Nicole-- thanks for the awesome time girls!!!!

This whole month has flown by already! This year has flown by! Tomorrow is Bobby & my 2nd anniversary already! It is crazy to think that 2 years ago tonight we were having our groom's supper @ the Bronze Boot. I love you goose!

"winsday"

Here are a few recent pics of the pics from my ladies' retreat I was talking about before, some pics of Preston & Brea's b-day party and some updated pics of Mason. Not much new to update on... just tonight Bobby & Mason took a bath together-- it was so adorable, I took a ton of pictures. (and just for the record, bobby wore his swim trunks :) ) I also bought him an acutal walker (yes, the kind with wheels that you are not supposed to buy) - I put him in it tonight and he just thought you were supposed to jump up and down in it but he will eventually get it-- I cant wait for him to be wizzing around the kitchen!
