 Mason practicing his grilling skills!
 Happy "tomorrow we get the keys to our new house" day :)

"Terrible 2's" is an understatement!

Since my last update...we have become OFFICIAL homeowners!! We signed (well mostly Matt signed!) the paperwork on Saturday!! I did our 'final walk through' yesterday, and we get the KEYS Tuesday night! Oh and we have also stepped out of the denial that our lawn crew will not be following us to Hudson-we purchased a lawn mower on Saturday! We still haven't accepted the fact that we'll have to shovel our own snow. Check back w/ us in November to see how that's going!

Now as for how the kids have been doing...i'd like to report a missing child. Does everyone remember that sweet little baby girl who the most random of strangers would tell us how good and adorable she is? Yeah she's gone. However, in her place, there is this overdramatic, screaming, tantrum throwing toddler that, regardless of how adorable she still is, is trying to drive her mother to the loony bin! One minute she'll be asking for a "big hug!" and some "cuddle time"...then the next she'll be throwing blue yogurt at you! Ah, the life w/ Gabrielle!

Mason man has decided that he would like to be a mountain goat instead of a baby. He tries to climb everything...the tv stand, couch, Charlie, Gabbie, whatever is in his way! He's also been gracing me with his presence at 4 a.m. again.

Oh and yes, Matt is in Arizona this week. He left Sunday morning. Does anyone think I need a vacation?
 Poor Charlie--he's Mason's personal jungle gym!
 Rocking our summer clothes--before it turned winter again around here :(
Dada made Gabbie special Mickey pancakes on Saturday! She loved them!

1st Wagon Ride!

Dada finally put together our wagon so we could go for a ride! Gabbie and Mason LOVED IT! The best was Gabbie called it a "boat" while Matt was putting it together! haha, well, w/out wheels, it does look like a boat!

 So cute! He loved it!! I think he kept turning around to try and see Charlie in front of him? :)

80 and Sunny!!

We had an amazing time playing outside today! We also went to the park and Gabbie took a wagon ride w/ a new friend (another 2 year old girl that lives in our neighborhood!) Thank you God for such a beautiful day!! (and awesomely long naps from both kids after all of the fun!)

 I call this shopping training--No Gabbie, I said 2 buckets on each arm! haha
 Mason loves touching the grass!

Hello May! Please be kinder to us than April!

 On the loose at Ma & Pa's!
 Kalahari!

We're alive!

In case everyone was getting worried...the Feaster family is okay! Our internet took a hiatus, and to be honest, it might not be too reliable until we're in the new house (at the end of the month!) So i'll update whenever I can; promise!

Since I've been gone, Matt went on his first 'travels' for work-he spent a week down in Texas and everything went really well! I can't say that I survived a week by myself though; I cheated and went home to Monroe for the week! Gabbie and Mason had a great time taking over "Ma & Pa's" house (as Gabbie has decided to call them!) Mom and I got some shopping done for the new house, we went and visited Annie and Penelope (who will be 1 in less than a month! Crazy!) and Jen brought Kennedy and Kylie to visit as well! We definitely wish we lived closer to everyone, but it's great to see them whenever we can!

Then as soon as Matt got home, Mason went to stay at Nana's, while he, Gabbie, & I went to Kalahari w/ the Mitcheltree's! It was awesome! Ryan did great at his game (we only got to see one of them!) and Gabbie could NOT have loved the water park anymore!! And I'm sure it goes without saying that Matt and Uncle Brad had a great time! We can't thank them enough for letting us crash in their (amazing!) suite!

Mother's Day Sunday we were able to eat a great lunch w/ the Nana and Papa's ("2 Nana's"..."2 Papa's"! as Gabbie would say! haha) The Nana's (we should really work on deciphering the names! haha) made an amazing lunch and we were able to play outside for a little bit in the sunshine! (yes, it was finally sunny in Ohio!!)

Now the countdown is on until the new house--we sign all of our paperwork this Saturday, because Matt will be gone all of next week. Title transfer happens a week from Friday (20th) and then POSSESSION (yeah!!) on the 24th! We CAN NOT wait!!!

Love you all! Pray my internet keeps up until we move!
