Trip to Mexico made possible by Jeppsons, Beldens, and Jennifer/Elliot

As you can probably gather we have been kinda busy during march and April and the craziness continues until July. Luckily, we have been doing fun stuff and being able to see friends/family a bunch! I think we have seen the Jeppsons 6 times in the last 9 weeks.... Which is amazing!!! (Joseph's bday, Carmen's wedding, Easter, pre-Mexico, post Mexico, and greg/Angie's wedding) and they are coming in town this weekend for Julie Wegmanns wedding!

Mikael and I went to Riveria Maya, Mexico April 7-12 with Frito Lay. My region won the Herman Lay award (best region in the country) so one of the prizes is a free trip. We were so excited but a little nervous about leaving mason for 6 days and being out of the country. Thankfully he was in great hands with family/friends.

The Beldens watched him on Sunday and then The Jeppsons watched him Sunday-Friday night. Not really sure how Lauren managed it but somehow she did. I also don't think we can ever really repay her, but we will try! Mason loved spending time with his cousins and the Belden boys (Braxton 2.5 and Braylon 11 months).

Mexico was great! It was honestly super weird being away from mason and it took a few days to get used to it.

Also thank you to jennifer and Elliot for watching our house and lily while we were gone! When we got back on the 12th, we took advantage of being in Kc and drove to Topeka on the 13th so we could visit with Gram (Mikaels grandmother).

More pics coming soon...

More Easter pics...

Easter, 9 Month Birthday with Uncle Jevon & Aunt Christie, and more...

This post is a little late, but better late than never. We were so excited to celebrate Easter this year at our house!!!! Jevon and Christie came intown the Wednesday evening before and the Jeppsons came in on Friday. It was so fun getting to spend time with Uncle Jevon and Aunt Christie (live in Columbus, Ohio). They offered to watch Mason on Thursday and Friday and of course Mason loved it!!! They took mason to the zoo on his 9 month birthday and he had a fantastic time!

On Friday Ashley and Joe Potwora came over and we all hung out and had dinner. On Saturday Mason participated in his 1st Easter egg hunt. We went to a Methodist church in our neighborhood for an Easter egg hunt, petting zoo, and bounce house. My whole family came too. Joseph did great at his Easter egg hunt and Madelin slept through hers. Later, we all went to visit my Nana and Papa. It was wonderful seeing how much joy mason, Joseph, and Madeline brought to my nana and papa faces! The Easter bunny was there too.

On Sunday, we went to church and ten hosted brunch. The Easter bunny came with lots of goodies and hid some eggs. Too!

Visits with Nana and Papa (0-9 months)

Here are some cute pictures of when we have visited my nana and papa (my moms parents) over the last few months. They always get a kick out of seeing mason. And mason loves his great Papa's scooter! We are so lucky that they are still with us and we love them so much!!
