Where oh where have the Mason's been????

Holy cow this past month has been crazy. I miss my weekly, sometimes daily blogging :-(
What on earth have we been doing???



***Warning-very LONG post***
*Jacey and I have been having so much fun visiting all of the different pools (including our own).
*Jacey's swimming skills are improving greatly. She is learning to swim on her back, use her "big arms" and absolutely LOVES jumping off of the diving board. Thanks for all of the great lessons Sarah!!!!
*Jacey’s babysitting skills are improving.
*Keely is still growing by leaps and bounds. At a recent ear check she weighed in at a whopping 26lbs. She is starting to walk and it is the cutest thing ever. She has been standing up by herself for over a month now but in the past week or so has been taking "baby" steps.
*Keely’s hair is growing longer and I can now fit two tiny piggy tails on top :-)

*Keely now has 8 teeth and is loving all the foods she can now chew up :-)
*I had girls camp (for church) this past weekend and have been crazy busy the past month getting ready for that. I was gone for five days and Thad was left to take care of the kids by himself, over Father's Day weekend no less!!! Camp was fun but boy are girls dramatic, especially teenagers!!! Thad was such a good sport for taking care of the girls while I was gone, even if they took baths in the sink and wore the same clothes the whole time (j/k) :-)
Here are about 100 (just kidding) of the 400+ pictures I've taken this month :-)(My apologies for some of the crappy pictures-some were taken with my Nikon and some were with my old pentax)

Jacey just loves to take care of her little sister :-)
