Mommy and Mason

2008-09-17T15:03:00.000-07:00

I really like this pic of Mason and me.

Piano Lessons

2008-07-27T23:18:00.000-07:00

Mason has always been interested in the piano. I think he started 'playing' the piano before he was able to pull himself up. He has always had a soft spot for classical music. Mason is such a blessing in our lives. Its amazing at how much he loves music. He even sings along with songs on the radio.

Potty Training

2008-07-27T23:14:00.000-07:00

I put Mason on the potty to go peepee and I left the room for just a few minutes and this is what I saw when I came back into the room. So I HAD to take a pic. to share!
SO THATS WHAT GUYS DO ON THE TOILET!!!?!?!??

My Fav Pic

Disney World

2008-06-12T22:05:00.000-07:00

Disney World was fun. This is us standing at the entrance.

This is Mason playing in Mini's house(to the left). It was so much fun watching him play. It was very warm outside so we didnt stay long. But it was fun.

Extra Tuff Water Boots

2008-04-14T23:35:00.000-07:00

Mason loves to splash in the puddles and since our driveway flooded it makes the perfect place for his puddle jumping adventures. He was using his winter boots but they just weren't working out so we got him some 'Extra Tuff' boots for kids and he was so excited about them. I told him they were for puddle jumping and he had to go out and splash. It was 7:30pm when we went out side. He put his boots on the steps going to the front door and said,"Peee's Momma". Well I counld NOT say no to that so we went outside.

Mason's Helmet

2008-04-12T11:32:00.000-07:00

We got Mason a helmet for when we ride 4-Wheelers. He is NOT a helmet fan. He do not mind the elbow and knee pads but the helmet is his enemy. He looks so BIG!!

Mason's BIG boy bed

2008-04-12T11:29:00.000-07:00

This is Mason's BIG boy bed, as you can see he still uses the baba at bedtime. That will be a thing of the past when he is ready. He has a race car bed. He is so proud of himself when he wakes up in it.

Mason is GROWING so fast

2008-03-17T22:34:00.000-07:00

Mason is growing so fast I can hardly believe it. He is finally sleeping through the night, and when I say through the night I mean he is only getting up once. There are a few nights here and there that he will 'bless' his Moma with a full nights of sleep (just to help the bags under my eyes that he is tired of looking at). He is 32" tall now and 17.5 Months old. It seem like just yesterday I was awaken in the middle of the night by a crying baby, oh wait that was just yesterday. No, seriously he is doing GREAT!! He is such a pleasure to have around. He is a really good little boy. Hey, I just realized that he is a kid and not a toddler anymore. When did that happen?! Like I said time goes by fast.

STOP

2008-03-15T21:08:00.000-07:00

STOP TAKING PICTURES OF ME!!! I JUST WANT HELP OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boys and Their Tools

2008-03-15T21:05:00.000-07:00

We bought Mason a solid wood tool set. He loves it. I was walking down the hallway and saw him playing with the tool set and the sun was just right. It turned out well.

EATING HIS TOES

2008-03-13T17:40:00.000-07:00

Mason was chewing on his big toe and everytime he saw the camera he would stop shake his hand at me and shake his head 'NO'. I guess he didnt want a pic taken of that. I would of used it the first time he brought a girl home. LOL!!!!

FUTURE TEENAGER

2008-03-13T17:38:00.000-07:00

Sing Boy Sing

2008-03-13T17:36:00.001-07:00

Mason was playing his piano and singing. He loves music and always has.

What are you doing

2008-03-13T17:32:00.000-07:00

Every once in a while your kids do things that make you say, "What are you doing?" This was that day. I still dont know what he was doing. He was just having fun.

Curley Hair

2008-03-13T17:29:00.000-07:00

When his hair is wet it is curley, just like this.

Our Day.

2008-02-25T22:24:00.000-08:00

What a fun day! We just played all day, it was pretty fun. Mason is growing so fast, its nice to just enjoy spending time with him. They are only little once.

OUR NEW PUP

2008-02-16T15:14:00.000-08:00

Jake (new pups name) likes to play with Mason's toys. He especially likes the penguin toys. Mason and Jake play good together.

Mother Nature

2008-02-01T21:42:00.000-08:00

Still no pup! Mother Nature has it out for us. The pup (Jake) cant fly until the weather gets warmer. But hey its warmer in South Dakota and Minniapolis just not in ALASKA!!!!! He will get here soon enough.

Sleepy Guys

2008-02-01T10:26:00.000-08:00

No, he dosn't like FOOD

2008-01-29T23:13:00.000-08:00

He stole the popcorn bowl from me. So I had to take a pic.

Lazy Pup

2008-01-27T21:07:00.000-08:00

A Boy and his Buddy

2008-01-25T22:51:00.000-08:00

They have become good friends!!

This was taken today. I have been wanting a pic of them playing together but it seems like I never have my camera ready intime.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW

2008-01-25T22:48:00.000-08:00

The other day we were in Mason's room playing with toys and I put a bunch of balls in his onesie and he couldn't figure out how to take the balls out of his onesie. It was so funny to watch him think about how he was going to get out of that.

Our New Pup

2008-01-25T22:39:00.000-08:00

He dosnt have a name yet, so if you have any idea's let us know! He is being flown from South Dakota. We looked at one in Montana but they only had girls and they didnt have the 'blue' silver colors either. He's a cutie!

BIG Smiles

2008-01-21T20:39:00.000-08:00

This is one of my favorite Mason smiles.

That was the first time he raised his eye brows and smiled at the same time.

Look at those BIG blue eyes

2008-01-20T16:47:00.001-08:00

Look at that smile, underneath his toy of course. Mason likes to act like our dogs. He was crawling around with his frog stuffed animal in his mouth. He did that all day. It was so much fun. He is such a 'ham.'

Sea Life Center

2008-01-19T22:31:00.000-08:00

Mason was scared of this fish. We went to the Seward Sea Life Center about 3 months ago. It was a lot of fun. He also got scared of the Stellar Sealion, but who can blame him that sealion is HUGE! Mason got a few books about Alaskan animals. He sure is interested in animals that don't scare him.

Our Little Music Maker

2008-01-18T23:17:00.000-08:00

This is Mason's key board. And that is his 'posing' smile (on the left). He loves music so much. He will sit there for 30 min. just playing with the keyboard. He is growing up so fast, he's already 15.5 months. WOW!!!!!!! We love him so much!

Our Faithful Companion.

2008-01-09T13:37:00.000-08:00

She was a faithful companion for 6.5 years. She was killed today by a moose. She was awsome, one of the best dogs we have ever owned. She loved Mason and was protective of her whole family. Her loyalty was incredible. We love her.

Ooooh, he;s growing up so fast!

2008-01-02T17:09:00.000-08:00

After Birthday Party!

2008-01-01T20:22:00.000-08:00

Mason and I are reading books after his birthday party. He was wearing an Elmer Fudd hat. He looks so cute in it, all he needs is a toy gun.

Toddler Race Track!

2007-12-29T14:53:00.000-08:00

Mason got a race track for Christmas. You press the red button and the cars race down the trach and the track itself sounds like Nascar.

Mom is helping Mason open his present.

Snowmachine Ride

2007-11-29T22:45:00.000-08:00

This was Mason's 1st time riding a snowmachine. The snow anly lasted a day. We have no snow right now. Mason didn't know what to do with the snow. He got scared of it.

I'VE BEEN CAUGHT

2007-11-27T16:26:00.000-08:00

MASON: "MOM YOU CAUGHT ME!!"

Sittin' In a Pot!!

2007-11-27T16:14:00.000-08:00

Mason is sitting in a large mixing bowl. He is sucking on his red pasifier. He used to love pasifiers, but hasn't had one since he was 10 months. He was still small enough to have toys in the bowl with him.
Mason says, "What will they think of next!?"

Shaving Cream...mmmmmm...

2007-11-27T16:07:00.000-08:00

Mason is playing with shaving cream on a table. He was smearing it around. The lady holding him is Amy, she is a provider at Mason's therapy/playgroup. Mason is only going to his playgroup once a week instead of 2 days of therapy. They just want to moniter his development. Right now Mason is scoring SUPPIRIOR in his development (fine motor skills, talking, walking, ect.) If you look close his tongue is white too. He just ate some shaving cream. I guess it did NOT taste good. Look at that face. Live-N-Learn!!

Today!!!

2007-11-27T16:03:00.000-08:00

Mason played in the play land maze today for the first time. That yellow thing he is climbing out of is a yellow "car". He had so much fun!

My Sunshine Boy!

2007-11-26T21:27:00.000-08:00

Mason was 7 months old in these pics. He has grown so much since then. The frog in his hands(right) is a puppet that really "croakes". He loves it.

Mason's "Reading"

2007-11-26T11:44:00.000-08:00

Mason really loves to "read" his books! He is such a smart little guy.

Halloween!!!

2007-11-25T22:55:00.000-08:00

Hi! Im a Kangaroo, this is Joey my baby kangaroo.

I am happy even though I dont look like I am. Its hot in this kangaroo costume. Besides there are all these people looking at me and taking pictures.

Frog Feet

2007-11-25T14:56:00.000-08:00

This is where Mason got his "frog feet". When I was picking Mason up from the hospital all I had for his feet were these florecent green booties. The booties were huge compared to his feet. Anyway, when the nurse came into the room she said, "Oh, he has frog feet." So thats where Mason got his frog feet.

Happy Birthday, Happy, Happy Birthday

2007-11-25T14:50:00.000-08:00

This is a pic of Mason's 1st Birthday. I made a frog cake just for him to destroy, oh, I mean eat. The cake got every where. He had so much fun. He got a John Deere Tracktor for his birthday. He is growing up so fast.

2007-11-24T20:52:00.000-08:00

ARE YOU TALKING TO ME "PUNK" WELL ARE YOU!!

2007-11-24T20:49:00.000-08:00

THE AMAZING GREEN LANTERN BOY

Best Friends

2007-11-24T12:59:00.001-08:00

Mason and I are best friends. He is the most incredible little person in the whole world, no universe. He loves music and always has. Classical music was the only thing that would calm Mason down when he was a new born. In January he will be starting a Music school, Kindermusak. We are so excited about the class. Its going to be so much fun.

My Harley Dudes

2007-11-24T12:53:00.000-08:00

These are my Harley dudes. They both love going to the Harley shop to "shop". They think that they are tough, but in reality they are just big softies. I love them so much.

1 Year Old

2007-11-24T12:48:00.000-08:00

It is hard to believe that Mason is already a year old. He is growing so fast. It seems like yesterday he was just a tiny baby. He has all of his teeth, but 3 K9's. The Dentist was impressed.

New Born Mason

2007-11-24T12:20:00.000-08:00

I can't believe that a 6lb 40z baby can terrify a person, but its true. I was terrified of Mason.
