Best Friends

It has literally been a couple of years since I've seen my best friend Katie.  We finally got to visit last weekend when we went down to San Diego for Amy's wedding.  It was fantastic!  I just love her.

And our sweet boys got to meet!  Nathan is 3 weeks older than Mason.  Mason was actually born on Nathan's due date!  Both these boys were early birds.  I couldn't believe how much more hair Nathan has!  To be fair, Mason has more hair than it looks, but it's super blonde.  But who am I kidding, I was nearly bald until I was like 5.  Sorry Mason.

Mason is always pretty shy around new friends.  He lays low until he's watched the new friend long enough to figure them out more or less.  Social Nathan, on the other hand, was perfectly ready to play and take Mason's toys....as Mason passively allowed him to do so.  lol

Mason still keeping a wary eye on Nathan.  And then Mason decided that standing on the couch was more fun than watching Nathan take his toys. lol

 Madilyn, Grandma Hatch, and Morgan.  Katie's twins are so big now!...and not really in the mood for pictures. :)

Me and Katie with our cute boys.  Too bad we don't live closer.....they could be best friends just like us! :)

Who's who?

Today at our park playdate, Mason and Dylan wore the exact same outfit!  And no, they didn't plan it.  Add to that the fact that they both have blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin and Heather and I totally had a hard time telling them apart.   I'd see one kid eating grass and go to grab him...and it's like whoops!....not my kid.  They were so cute crawling around like twins.

Pool Playdate

The weather got quite warm last week, so Heather invited us over for a playdate so that Mason and Dylan could play in their cute inflatable pool.  It was Mason's first pool experience.  He kinda sat there for a few minutes without moving (um, what is this new experience?!) but once he discovered all the bath toys, he was happy as can be! (Special thanks to Heather for the pictures!)

Mmmmmmm...........pool toys............

 

Sometimes they fight over the same popular toy and it's really funny to watch.  They cry, and we laugh.  (We are such great moms!)

It's okay, Dylan.  We're still friends. :)
And next time Mason, I promise I'll get swimming diapers for you.  That goes on my "Wish I'd Known List."  His regular diaper swelled up to 5 times it's normal size and probably weighed as much as he weighs.  It could hardly be contained in his swimming shorts.  (Sorry baby!)  It was a fun time, though, and something we're definitely doing again soon!
