It's Official...Life Just got CRAZY

Well I think we can officially say that Mason is walking now. Last week he was only walking long distances when there were girls to walk to (geez-I am worried for when he is 16), but today he was walking everywhere and there were now girls here! Life gets a bit more crazy starting today...way to finish the year with a bang Mason!

December-A Month of Fun

Our Christmas miracle-everybody looking at the camera!

Merry Christmas!

GG and Riley

A sweet angel present

John bought a 20 foot aluminum boat a few weeks ago, so we started a new Fiedler family tradition-a boat ride on Christmas Eve. Riley had gone out with John for a ride once before but this was Mason's first time on the boat. They both did great and seemed to really enjoy it. They clearly are Fiedler men.

It was CHILLY on Christmas Eve so the boys had to be extra bundled. Mason's life vest is about four sizes too big too!

Is Mason smiling or crying?

I enjoy any moment that Mason will snuggle with me because I know they will be over soon. They grow up far too quickly.

So proud of the baseball

Riley showing his little bro how to give a good high five

Being silly in Daddy's hat

On "Mommy's airplane" at Disneyland. Like last time, I ended up nauseous and he wanted to go on it again! See prior video post for his first roller coaster ride while we were there!

Say "CHEESE!"

Family Christmas Card Shoot

We managed to get HC to agree to take pictures of the family again this year for our Christmas cards. What a scene! A cozy coupe, and two toddlers with SAND! What were we thinking?! Luckily, HC managed to catch a couple great pictures.

Riley went on his first roller coaster on our last trip to Disneyland-and he LOVED it! John and Riley are in the front row-look closely! Ri loved it and cried when we left it to go and do something else! We have a dare devil on our hands!

Thanksgiving Weekend Fun

Happy Birthday!

Looking forward to cleaning him up at this point

Look at Riley-he pulled that chair right up to Mason's high chair!

What is this?!

Good morning birthday Boy!!!

Ahhh the holidays! Thanksgiving was a blast. We spent the evening at Brooke and Andrew's house with the family. Then we had Mason's first birthday party yesterday at our house. Today, Daddy is out at the Chargers game, and tomorrow we go back to work! Whew! Plus, next weekend is even crazier!

What a Mess!

For those of you who missed the fun...Mason enjoying his first cupcake (with his brother close by)

Happy First Birthday Mason!!!

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy! We love you so much and are so blessed to have you in our family!

Always smiling!

Mommy's favorite picture of Mason. He's only a few hours old here, snuggling with Daddy in the hospital.

Just a few days beofre your debut! Look at that belly! Mommy and Daddy doing the 3 Day Breast Cancer Walk! Mommy walked 37 miles over the three days!

October Disneyland

A fun day with the boys-we wiped hands incessantly to prevent us from getting sick since the boys did not have their H1N1 vaccines yet. Everytime we would touch anything we would go and wash, wipe with a wipe, or sanitize our hands (and the boys).
Riley loves Mick Mouse, but was not sure that he wanted to give him a big hug

Dumbo the flying "elphan" was a highlight of the day for Riley, followed closely by riding the rocket ships with Mommy. Mommy ended up DIZZY at the end, while Riley was crying because he wanted to ride them again!!!!

Attempting to pull the sword from the stone-no luck this time

Waiting in line very patiently with Uncle HC

Mason's First Halloween

What a fun Halloween. We started the day with a nice walk on the Boardwalk, then carved pumpkins, nap time for the boys (while mommy did homework and Daddy worked), then visiting time with family and a small dose of trick or treating. What a great day!

Big smiles by one of the many pumpkins we grew in our garden

Riley and Mason watching Daddy cut the tops off of the pumpkins.

Riley was okay looking in the pumpkins, but didn't want to help pull the seeds and pulp out of the middle. This was as close as he was willing to get.

Showing Daddy where to put the various parts of the face.

The Supervisor

Our adorable niece Alivia-dressed as Tinkerbell!

Ma-son (said with a French accent). Riley calls him this all the time for some reason, so we just ran with it for his Halloween costume.

Happy boy-even has the hat one still!

Daddy and his counterpart. Riley was Daddy and/or Grandpa, depending on when he was asked. He had a tool belt which he put the tools (aka candy) that he got from trick or treating into. We have never given him any candy, and didn't want to start tonight, so no need to tell him what they were really giving him. He thought it was fun to get stuff to put in his tool belt.



What's he measuring? Who knows?! But he loved his Riley-sized tape measurer.

Loving Bath Time! Only problem is he wants to stand up the whole time which is scary for mommy

Learning to walk...

Riley has been such a good big brother-he always wants to help with Mason's breathing treatments

Another example of Riley being the big helper-helping daddy sand the walls in our bathroom for a small remodel (and much needed one!).

And finally, exhibit 3, Riley helping Daddy wash his dirt bike after a day of riding at a track-note that his tricycle is out too because Riley decided it needed a "bath" too.

Okay, okay...it's been a while! I'm so far behind on keeping everybody up to date with the boys, but life has just been too crazy for me lately. Too much school and work and boys! Enjoy a few pics since my last post...
