Mason's first haircut!

Tonight we gave mason his very first haircut! His hair was getting to be sooo long so we jut decided to cut it tonight after dinner -- bobby cut and I held his head as still as I could. It's crazy how much "older" he looks now that he lost his baby curls!!! I kept all of his hair in a little baggie- not sure what I am going to end up doing with it but wanted to keep it just incase!

Here are some pics from this weekend - playing outside, @ happy joe's and enjoying an apple.

mason had been afraid of going on the sidewalk or in the grass after he fell on the driveway playing at daycare last week - he is just now feeling brave again! poor little bear!

mason had fun "playing" the games and "helping" mom win lots of tickets!!



mason had his first whole apple last weekend as well - bobby had been eating an apple and giving Mason pieces of it... well that wasn't enough - Mason took off with the apple to his favorite place to chill out - the bottom of the stairs!

is it just me or is this week taking FOREVER?!?! Friday can't get here soon enough!!

Going to go spend some time with my loving husband - it is our SIX YEAR "first date" anniversary today (Earth Day Eve!!). Remember it is EARTH DAY tomorrow - do something nice for our planet, it does nice things for us :)

catching up (again)

It's been awhile since my last post again -- where has the last 2 weeks gone? Scrapbook camp was great last weekend - got 20 some pages done could've got more done if I wouldn't have been enjoying wine & visiting so much - thanks girls for the great weekend! :)

i am really loving this coffee right now - my grandma brought it back from Florida with her and gave it to me because she didn't like it. seriously I get excited drinking it each morning because it is that good!!! Gevalia move over..time for something new!

Yesterday we went to TRF to do some shopping and went to McDonalds for lunch... after we came home and Bobby & I cleaned the scrapbook/nintendo/computer room. It is one of our favorite rooms in the house (when it is clean!!). Would love to make it a room like this:

Today we are off to church and then later this afternoon to HAPPY JOES with my family! Hurray for Happy Joes! Tomorrow it's off to work early --- heading to a training in Bemidji and have to leave Warren @ 6:45 :(

Better go, Mason is up!

new tricks

mason has been just a bag full of new tricks lately it seems - he has been talking more and more, imitating more and more (now we need to start watching what we say for sure!), and constantly trying to do new "tricks" and moves...which in turns means more owies for him. This week he has been working on walking backwards - he thinks he is being tricky by "sneaking" away from me - this works until he runs into something. . . Today he started trying to stand on his head, out of nowhere! We had been watching baseball (mason was playing along with his baseball toy) and next thing I knew Mason was trying to watch it upside down!

This weekend is my big girls weekend scrapbooking trip - or EXTRAVAGANZA as I prefer to say! Will be so nice to get away and RELAX!!! Mason is staying w/grandma DeeDee Saturday since Bobby has Jay's bachelor party this weekend too. A busy weekend for all of us!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! What a wonderful day we had today - we went to my parents' home and also there were lots of other family members too - although we missed going to Angel's, it was nice to be so close to home today. Mason must've been excited to see what the Easter Bunny left him - he was up at 6:45 this morning - we managed to keep him in bed with us until 8:30 but that was it. We then colored/dyed eggs, mason's is the colorful middle one - he colored the design w/the "magic" crayon himself!

We then packed up and went to my parents for a HUGE Easter lunch and dinner and visiting with grandpa, Arliene, Gwen, Terry, Katie, Dustin and my parents. This is the 1st time in a LONG time that I remember having a big family dinner at my parents' house for Easter. I guess it is never too late to start a new tradition!

It has been a 3-day weekend for Bobby - he took Friday off to stay home with Mason, and also stayed home with him all day Saturday while I had my wonderful spa day - they had some good father/son bonding time, I am told :) Went to Salon Seva for my day of pampering- I had never been there before but really loved it - would highly recommend!!! Tomorrow is already Monday - but a short week for me!! Hurray! (<- Mason hates Mondays too)

april fools!!!

april fools day always reminds me of my sister & me "tricking" my brother year after year with "Dustin, there's a deer in the yard!" (this was a "big" deal when we were little, growing up out in the country) Then I always remember the next day him trying to trick us with the same thing, and still saying "April fools!" No big April Fools going on here today - I tricked Bobby this AM saying my car wouldn't start, and Bobby tricked me with saying he couldn't stay home with mason tomorrow...


My little sauce monster (my nickname for Mason whenever he eats anything with red sauce that seems to end up all over his clothes, face, and hair) learned a new "trick" today at daycare - poor Amanda - he learned to take off his pants and diaper, and throw the contents out of his pack & play during nap time.... it was funny today, but I hope this is a trick he quickly forgets!


I was going through pictures tonight, getting things ready for scrapbook camp next weekend!!! I missed our October group going (Bobby had the swine flu!) so it will be nice to catch up! Going to try to finish most of the pictures I have, not developing any new ones; or buying any new stuff, even though memory works has a TON of SUPER cute things - I think the list I made of "wants" was close to $100 worth, even with my discount!


This weekend I have my all day SPA day Saturday (thanks again honey) and Sunday going to my parents. I am bummed, we usually go to my sister-in-laws but she isn't able to have us this year :( (by the way, I am getting very anxious for my little NEICE to arrive!!!!!)


Well, I am off to bed. I have been so tired lately!

wonderful weekend

we had a wonderful weekend, just wish it would've lasted longer! Friday Bobby & I did go to the ALL YOU CAN EAT crab and it was AMAZING!! Wish we would've come across it sooner. For our big "date night" we were home by 10! Then cozied up together and watched the last 2 SVUs and went to bed.

Saturday we got up early and headed to Fargo, watched the Sioux game, spent the night at the Holiday Inn, and Mason got to go swimming! He was a little nervous at first but did great. I would put up some pics but left my camera in my sister's purse!

You would think that since Mason didn't go to bed until 11 he would sleep in... nope. he was up at 8AM. Went out for breakfast and then I did some shopping @ old navy while bobby & mason slept in the car and then we met up with Bobby's mom at the mall for lunch, before heading to Grand Forks for my cousin Andy's wedding reception!

It was a busy weekend to say the least, would be great if I had Monday off, but instead I am off for Grand Rapids at 7AM; better get some sleep!

what a week!

I am beyond ready for this week to end ... it has just been a crazy busy week @ work, and it seems like whenever that happens I come home too exhausted to do anything else, so my house gets to be a complete pit - which explains why tonight I have 3 full loads of laundry to fold & put away :(

So here is the recap of the "big happenings" at the Buzick's this week:

• ]Sunday: Bobby came home from the Final 5 - he had a blast! Got to talk with Evan Trupp who remembered who he was, got his "My Buddy & Me" shirt that I made him signed, had his picture taken with Dave Hackstol at some bar, and I even got to talk with Chay Genoway on the phone! Mason & I also went on our 1st stroller walk of the new year.
• Monday: Celebrated Bobby's 31st birthday (even though it was SUNDAY) with my parents and brother @ our house. Ordered burgers from Micks & had some carrot cake, Bobby's favorite. I made the homemade cream cheese frosting!!!
• Tuesday: Mason wasn't feeling well - coughing most of the night
• Wednesday: Dustin watched Mason for part of the day. Brought Mason to the Dr... he has another ear infection- have completely lost track but think this is #7 :(
• Thursday Just a crazy busy day @ work - Bobby gone to Fargo for work for the night

Oh, and it has been my "treat week" at work. Usually I try to bring really awesome treats but this week it has been whatever has been easiest. Been super tired this week for some reason! SO relieved tomorrow is Friday, have I said that already?!?

Have a date night planned, something a little different, mixing up the regular dinner & a movie routine! Going to Euclid, MN to the notorious "One & Only Bar" for their Friday night all you can eat crab legs. Believe it or not apparently this place gets kind of crazy some nights! Reminds me of the Gardner bar, minus the craziness :)

Been spending too much time on bhg.com looking @ decorating ideas for our house. I should really know better as I am NOT a gifted decorator! I do want to do something fun in my scrapbook room to make it more 'family' room-like. We always spend our Saturday mornings in here and just want to make it a little more inviting. . .

But I have WAY too much I should be doing than starting to look for ideas again! Better get to folding that laundry. Going to try find some mindless TV to pass the time!
