Decorating

Well we got the tree and Christms lights up! Mike did a great job on the house this year.

Temple Square

Over thanksgiving ...as tradition, we went down to Salt Lake to see the lights. We really enjoyed it this year. They added nativity scenes all around. Our little guy sure did enjoy all the water fountains...it was his favorite part!

Snow has come!!!

Well today it was a winter wonder land! I love it....just as long as I can stay home in front of our fireplace. So ...dad promised Biggy that we would play in the snow after his nap if it kept coming down...and it did. It snowed all day so we went sledding down the sidewalk and all around in the yard. This was one of those moments as a family that just makes you smile.

Grandma & Grandpa came to town...

Well this last weekend Grandma and Grandpa came in the dump truck to visit. We had lots of fun bit here are just a few pics of our little guy helping Grandpa work on the garden dirt getting it ready for the next year! He got really dirty but it was all worth it !

Halloween

Well our big guy dressed up as a giraffe this year. He had a blast just handing out the candy to all the other kids. He would get all excited and run to the door every time he could hear voices outside. We also made our first batch of homemade donuts. We will have to make it a family tradition....and I must say they turned out really good!

The Great Pumpkin

Well since Biggy is now 2 we decided to let him pick out his very own pumpkin this year. It was so much fun and yep...he picked one that was at the very bottom. When I tried to have him take it to the car he said simply, "TOO HEAVY". What a great kid he is. We can't wait to do the carving!!

Family Reunion...sorry so late

Well in July we had our Family Reunion just for my immediate family. Brice just got home from his mission and we were all together for the first time. This was also the first time Uncle Brice go to meet Mason. They really hit it off. They came to Logan for a a week and we just went all around having fun...this is a snapshot of some of it! (Dinasour Museum, Bear Lake, etc.)

Golden Spike

We took Mason out to the Golden Spike National Monument for a little fun the other day since we both had the day off. The horn really made him jump but he had a blast. He didn't want to go home ...note the picture of him running back toward the trains!

Happy 4th of July

These are my two favorite guys watching the fireworks! Mason has had a great 4th of July even though he has been getting to bed way past the normal bed time. Today after all the fun he took a really long nap... life sure is fun watching him grow up!

Fathers Day

Well - Here is Mason and dad on fathers day. It was raining out on the deck before church. The day started out as normal...then Mason got a coat hanger stuck under his tongue. Good old dad finally got it out with a little tugging and blood. Thus the pacifier.....we couldn't get it away from him the whole day. By about 5:30 when he woke up from his nap and he was all swolen under his chin we went to the ER. He wouldn't eat or drink anything and just let his slobber fall out of his mouth!! Poor little guy. He is healing now after a tramatic day and lots of loves from mom and dad.

Mason and dad feeding the ducks as 1st dam in Logan Utah. Mason likes to do just about anything with dad....it is just more fun!

Here is Mason with his new fish...or as he calls it "pishie". We started out with three and now we are down to just the one fish "Bob". Hopefully he will stay alive for a while. Mason really likes to help dad feed them. He even tried to give them a bite of his cracker the other day! What a crazy kid.
