Santa

Lets just say Mason's not a big fan of santa, even though I have been warming him up to him for a couple of weeks and every time he sees a picture of santa he says "Ho ho ho"

Halloween and family pictures!

Happy Halloween! 

We went trick or treating with Masons cousins Tate and Paisley (Buzz and Cinderella) They were all so cute! We had so much fun.

 

 Mason's Hat, belt and boots were way to big for him and they kept falling off all night. Haha poor thing i don't think he liked his costume. But isn't he the cutest woody you've ever seen?!

 

 He's a stud in his suit!  

 I don't really like fall because that means winter is coming. But I love the colors and it really makes me appreciate it more.

I love my family more than words can explain. Bryce and Mason make me so happy i really can't imagine life without them!

Decor

I forgot to post the other projects I was working on for Halloween. 

First the candy corn pom poms.

and my scary trees

Deadly Ever After!

Murder Mystery parties are a lot of fun! I Loved all of the characters this year everyone did great with their costumes!!

  I was the Wicked Witch Bryce was Sherlock Holmes and i was going to make Mason one of my flying monkeys but decided not to last minute, so he was a skeleton. 

Mad Hatter and Alice were played by Kevin and Cali. Kevin won best costume!

Snow White was Bri. Such a pretty princess!

 John Silver and Robin Hood were Eric and Wade

 Ronelle was Rapunzel, Her Hair was great!!

 Katie and Paul were little red riding hood and Hamlet, Bryce jumped in every picture he could! 

Prince Charming was Steven, who tied with Bryce for best actor of the night!

 The Count was Chris

 Juliet was played by Holly

 I tried several times to get a good picture of these two boys but this was the best i could get!

It was such a fun night thanx everyone for coming this year and those that couldn't make it from last year we wish you were there!

Crafty me!

I am getting so excited for Halloween! I've already been making decorations!! Look how cute these lanterns turned out. I'm so proud of myself!!

Each of these cost under $2 to make and were easier than i thought it they would be, but after cutting each picture out by hand i really wish i had a cricut!

I'm going to post a couple more halloween projects i've been working on in a week or two that are pretty cute too.

I'm so sad that summer is coming to an end but I'm so excited to this holiday season to start!

My lil' toddler!

Mason can walk!! Actually he started walking at 12 1/2 months but now he is really cruising! When i look at him i don't see my little baby anymore, he's a toddler! It's so sad, but then again I'm so proud of him, and he is so proud of himself too, It's so cute. I love this little boy so much, I am so lucky to be his Mommy!

Mason turned 13 months on sept 5th.

He still weighs under 19 lbs.

Has cut his first 6 teeth in less than a month!

Mason is a little dancer, the other day Bryce went to find Mason who had wondered off and ended up in the nursery. Mason figured out how to turn the music on, on his swing and was dancing by himself in his room! haha its so cute when he dances!

He is the loudest, most out of control kid at church!

He is doing so well with sign language, and talking.

He loves going on bike rides every night with Mommy and Daddy!

Mason really loves life and is so happy!

Does life get better than this?

The lil' guy had to sit on a phone book to be big enough to eat his cake!

All done!!

Clean up was easier than i thought it would be! =)

Mason got so many fun things! Thanx to everyone!

This last year has been the shortest year of my life i still cant even believe my little baby isn't so much of a baby anymore. Happy birthday my sweet little baby Mason we love you so much!

At 12 months Mason's Stats are.....

18 lbs 5 oz - 2%

29 1/2"- 42%

Wow they say he is so little, but he seems so big to me!

Mason can say: Momma, Dada, dog, (he also barks like a dog when we ask what does the doggy say? and moos for the cow) Nana, baoon (balloon, which is one of his favorite things in the world!) ball, hi and my mother-in-law and sister-in-law heard him say "all done" after they asked him if he was done with his cake. He also knows a few signs!

Mason loves giving hugs, The other day he was playing with a baby girl his same age in the park that we didn't know and he gave her 4 hugs! he is such a flirt its so cute.

He always waves hi and bye.

He gives high fives!

His first tooth was visible 3 days before he turned one, the 2nd one was close behind and i can tell he'll be getting a few more really soon. I guess thats what happens when you get your first tooth really late, they all want to come in at once!! Poor little guy!

Mason loves to walk with our help but is still really wobbly, i don't think he will be walking for a while!

He is a really good climber! He climbed all the way up my parents stairway the first time he tired, he can also go down the stairs. We stayed in a condo that had a bunk bed with the ladder and Mason Started to climb the ladder before i got scared and picked him up. He is really good at getting off of high things like my bed which is taller than him but he has figured out how to do it. Mason is so smart!

Mason Is getting better at sleeping but would still rather stay awake 24/7 if he could! Yesterday we were at my in-laws playing games. It was past Mason's bed time but he didn't want to sleep so i left him up, i knew he would fall right to sleep in the car for our long drive home. but he crawled into the living room and just fell over on to his side half under an arm chair and fell right to sleep! I felt so bad! but it was so cute!!

Mason isn't a picky eater, he will eat anything and everything but he doesn't eat very much as you might have noticed!

We are so lucky to be this little guys parents, I love him more than i can ever express!! I would recommend being a mom to anyone! In fact i don't know why we waited so long after we got married to have kids! =)

From 5 lbs 5 oz and being fed through a tube in his nose to......

18lbs 5 oz and full of life, laughter, and fun!!
