The Mason and Waylon Show: Where Oh Where Has The Time Gone?

So here I am, it's been quite awhile since I've blogged. So long that just thinking about blogging makes my head hurt! Ha! No, there's been so much happening that I wouldn't even know where to begin, so we're going to bypass the past 6 months or so and start fresh with the latest news here on the mason and waylon show...

Last week we ventured down to LA to visit Pete and Emily! What a fun time it is to be with our dear friends. The kids are getting older so the challenges are changing with them but they are so cute together, and I just adore little Scout and can't get enough of her ;-) We seemed to stay pretty busy this trip, we took the kids to the park, a trip to the zoo and of course got to visit the "big church" as Mason refers to it. We arrived on Saturday afternoon after a nice drive down, only stopping once, my potty trained boy did so well, and we just got settled and hung out the rest of the day. Sunday we were off to church. When we pulled into the parking lot Mason was already concerned and asked "where am I?" He's used to our small homey church and if you know Grace Church in Sun Valley you know that it's MASSIVE! We put the kids in their different Sunday school rooms and despite my nerves and fears of leaving them for the first time they did great, in fact Mason wasn't even ready to leave. While they were in their lessons we got to hear Pastor John MacArthur teach on the Necessities for Effective Prayer. After church we had to call Papa and tell him about the "big church" experience, we all couldn't help but laugh at mason as he just kept repeating big church, big church! Monday we packed a picnic and went to the park and Monday night Pete's parents came over to watch the kiddos while the 4 of us went out. We went to this yummy restaurant called Fogo De Chao's, it was like a fancy meat on a stick place, really good, we had a fun night out! Tuesday, or Zoosday as we referred to it, was our day at the Zoo! So fun! I really enjoyed it, and so did the kids! We saw it all, and the weather was perfect! Waylon came down with a cold so we didn't want to do too much out with him, so Emily and I went shopping wed morning and then Pete and Ed went out to work on doors for our entertainment center when we got back and then we met up with Josh and Michelle at The Cheesecake Factory! Thursday I came down with the cold but we were heading home anyway so I got to be sick here instead :0) The time always flies when we're together but we're so thankful our friends and the time we do get together. We're trying to talk them into moving here and they try talking us into moving there... we'll see what the Lord does there :-) Right before we went down we were able to video chat with them and they told us they're expecting baby number two!!! I'm so excited, but it does seem like with each baby we have it gets that much harder to be so far away from one another! So that was our trip, we're home battling colds still and the freezing weather but it's nice to be back ;-)
