August 2015

This is on our way home from the Wenatchee hospital. WE stopped at a fruit stand to take pictures by these gorgeous post of flowers!! Seriously, how do they get them to be this beautiful!?!?

And adorable Madison... She is such a cute fun girl.

Pit stop #1.... right outside of Spokane... cranky doesn't explain mr. mason's attitude... 

But maybe this face does... :( SO grumpy... a whole new level that we had never seen before.

He spent a lot of time like this when we first got home.

When we finally made it home this is how he played... Is that not so sad :( Just laid on the floor and pushed his truck back and forth... 

It took a LONG time before Mason would go up and down our stairs... and this is how he usually traveled them. And he would sit and scream at the top or bottom until someone would come and get him.

About a day after we got home his hands and feet started to peel. It was just the finger and toe tips/pads... so no sheets of skin like they said... but still another sign that they indeed got the diagnosis right.

A few weeks after the finger tips peeled his palms ended up peeling. 

This is where we go to get his Echo's & EKG's

This is their setup. They have cartoons playing right above, which is great because it takes a good 30-45 mins to get all the pics they need

 This is right outside the clinic. They have this very sweet area outside with a little stream and benches. So this is where we ate our lunch. My kids are so cute.... ;)

Seriously... look at that face! ;)

And then before I knew it he was back to mischief Mason.... It's amazing how quickly you forget... never turn your back.... like ever...

An anti-inflammatory meal... cauliflower "toast", blueberries,  and some carrots :)

Madison loved the carrots from our garden, and she was so pleased to find out that the purple ones were just as tasty as the orange ones! :)

Madison got some hand-me-downs from her friend in Texas.... she was SO excited. Seriously.... SO excited. She tried on every thing in the space of 7 mins... hee hee

Sometimes my kids play well together. And it makes me so happy.... It doesn't last very long.... but it's sweet when it does happen.

Pretty boy, with his princess castle... hee hee

I SO love this picture... He's adorable

Some days are just exhausting... and Madison sleeps just about wherever...

Madison started kindergarten! She was SO excited and cute about the whole thing! I would like to point out the shirt she has on happens to be the shirt she has worn on the first day of preschool 2 years ago, the first day of preschool last year, and then the first day of kindergarten. She loves that butterfly shirt.

Being silly... 

 She was so nervous! This is in her classroom the first day. She was excited, nervous and so happy. 

 She came home from school and was a chatty Cathy and only had great things to say. Mason enjoyed his 1:1 time with Mom too. It was a pretty enjoyable day for everyone. And day 2 everyone was excited about it as well... :)

So cute... Love them.

She's so adorable... and sassy ;)

 I'm pretty sure she is the smallest one out there... Everyday it's hard for me to just leave... Seems weird but yet, she is very confident that I don't need to watch her.... But she always looks back to wave when she gets to her spot to line up. :)

And then this ham and I go home and hang out for the day....

This might be my most favorite outfit she has worn to school so far... :) She's so funny and I love her independent style. 

So adorable

 Mason still copies his dad... with everything and when anything is smelly this is what he does now. Brian always does this when he changes Mason's diaper. So funny to me.

On a walk... on a beautiful fall day :)
