Happy Birthday Mason Bradley!!!

Our baby boy is ONE! Happy birthday Mason!! We love you SO much! This year hasn't been easy, but it's been such an amazing journey! Your smile makes us forget every sleepless night, and we would absolutely do it a million times over! God has blessed us with two of the most amazing, beautiful children and we are so grateful for our family!

We celebrated Mason's birthday with a "mini party" last night :) Mason absolutely loved his cupcake and we can't wait to see him with his "smash cake" on Saturday!

Less than a week until Mason turns ONE!

Happy "5 days until Mason's 1st birthday" everyone!! I can't believe how fast this year has gone! (And that's not just because I haven't slept in over a year, or because of the amount of wine I consume!) It has been a crazy, beautiful ride this year, and Matt and I would not change it for the world! 
 Thanks to Nana, Mama & Dada got to sneak away for a date night @ Hudson's Wine Festival! It was so much fun!
Mason's getting so big! He eats everything and anything now!!

Baby Pool Time!

We had the best time playing outside in the kids tiny pool! It was so hot out earlier this week...we had to do something to cool off! Yesterday was so beautiful (much cooler out!), we went to the neighborhood park twice! Gabbie's new thing is swinging 'like a big girl' (no baby swing!), and of course Mason loves to swing (probably b/c he spent the first 3 months of life strapped in his baby swing! haha)

Additionally, in case you have not heard, Gabbie has started potty training! Well, we're not pushing it too hard, but we did buy big girl undies the other day, and she has had a couple successful moments thus far :) We'll keep you updated!

Dada's hard work!

Mason's new haircut!

We love summertime!

Hello everyone! It's hard to believe that we're almost 1/2 way through July already! Thankfully, we're enjoying summer as much as possible around here! (Even when it entails weeding, painting or any other home improvement project!)

This weekend was a whirlwind, to say the least! Matt took on our most dangerous job thus far around the house: removing/painting and reinstalling our shutters! It was a bit more labor intensive than originally expected; but Matt was a machine and managed to finish the entire project in 1 day! He also painted our front door, which turned out amazing!

While Matt was working so hard, Aunt Megan and I took the kids to a toddler concert in downtown Hudson! It was awesome! We had dinner beforehand (which was comical; Megan got to witness firsthand the tornado which is that of the Feaster children! Lets just say the poor restaurant staff had some serious cleaning up to do after we left!), then Mason and Gabbie just loved the music the band was playing (the songs included themes about sharing, brushing your teeth, etc!), and there were even some animals for the kids to see (Gabbie particularly loved the "biiiig turtle!" and "Scaaary snake!") It was a perfect summer night, complete with perfect summer weather!

 As Gabbie says, "Two naaaakey babies!" on their way to the bath!
 Prettiest girl!

 Time to party at the toddler concert!

Happy 4th of July!

We hope everyone had a great 4th of July holiday this year! Yesterday was a very special day, considering Mom & Dad were married 30- 4th of July's ago!! They were on a jeep excursion in Alaska to celebrate! Happy Anniversary!!

The Feaster's weren't in Alaska, but we had a great time! The dutiful homeowner's that we now are, we made a few trips to Lowe's and Home Depot (we haven't made a clear allegiance yet!), we did a little landscaping, hung up our new hammock, walked around downtown Hudson (we had great cupcakes and lunch at the mexican restaurant there!) and went swimming w/ the Mitcheltree's at their new club pool! It was great having "Dada" home all weekend (he had Friday and Monday off!); we were pretty spoiled!

Here's some pictures from our adventures this 4th of July weekend:

 Our new sprinkler toy! It's so crazy it even got Dada!!
