Summer Lovin!!

They say, "pictures say a thousand words." So here are 29000 words!

Bryce and Mason's first time at Bryce canyon. Bryce's name sake! =)

It rained harder than i think i have ever seen it rain while we were in the middle of setting up our tent.  Poor Bryce, he got drenched while mason and i sat in the car and watched. So we decided to get a hotel room for the night while our tent aired out. It was a lot easier with Mason than camping out!

Cedar Breaks with my family.

My cute Fam!

Shea and Anna

Kanarraville Canyon

The chaco crew!!

This is Shea in the falls after he lost a bet!

Mason looks just like Toad off Mario Cart! Don't you think? We went on a 30 mile 4 wheeling ride with  Bryce's family and Mason was strapped to Bryce's chest the whole time. He absolutely loved it. He was born into the right family!

24th of july fireworks!

11 Months Oh My!

Lately i have had several random people ask me if Mason is 6 months old. I know he is little for his age but i didn't think he was that little! But it feels like he should be 6 months still, it has gone by just as fast as everyone told me it would, if not faster. I still can't believe I'm already planning his first birthday party! It's so sad but yet, so exciting!

Mason isn't walking yet but he loves to crawl and is still getting into everything.  He has never been a picky eater ad will eat anything i give him which has been great but that also means he will eat anything he finds on the ground in front of him which is so gross!! I've pulled bugs out of his mouth more than once! When ever he sees me pull out the camera he tries to grab it  or just stares at it with a blank stare so i had to get him crawling when he wasn't looking.

For the 4th of July weekend we stayed close to home and went up to Cedar Breaks and Cascade Falls. It is so beautiful up there, and surprisingly cold!

Mason Loves to clap and pull himself up on everything.

I can't begin to tell you how much i love this little guy. Bryce and I are so blessed to be able to be his parents! Mason is so smart and i can't wait to see what he learns next! 

He has never been much of a talker until lately he talks a lot. Its gibberish but he knows what he's saying! Its so cute. The only words that i know he says are: "Hi" which was his first word. (like his mom) "momma," "Dada," and "Dog" and i think he tries to say ball.

Some Randomness!

I forgot to post a ten month journal entry for Mason.

 Mason was still doing his cute army crawl but he had started to pull himself up on everything!  When he first started to crawl we had to move everything in our house that was within his reach.  Then when he started pulling himself up, everything was moved again a little higher!  Oh ya on saturday mason decided he wanted to crawl on his hands and knees and has been doing it ever since!

Mason loves his Daddy, He always gets so excited to see him. If Bryce doesn't pick him up and give him a hug and throw him in the air when he gets home Mason gets really upset! Bryce decided he wasn't going to shave the whole time he was at field camp, despite my pleading. haha I think he actually looks really good with a beard i just don't like kissing a breaded face!

Mason and Nana! Isn't my mom so pretty? I love her silver hair! 

We moved to Cedar City a couple of weeks ago because Bryce has to take a Geology field camp course at SUU. We'll only be here until the end of July so we are going to take full advantage of it, so if anyone wants to come camping or hike with us while we're down here lets us know we're all for it!! Yesterday we hiked a couple of little hikes in Kolob Canyon. It was so beautiful, there was surprisingly a lot of green next to the magnificent red cliffs.

Mason absolutely loved riding on Dads back, where he had a great view of everything! I was worried about having him in the sun for so long because he will not let me put hats on him. So i just loaded him up with sunscreen and off we went. He didn't get burnt at all it was great!

We found an unmarked hike through one of the side canyons, we were the only ones on the trail and we found the most amazing meadow with tall grass that was blowing in the wind, encircled by big trees. It was so beautiful and peaceful. We had a picnic and didn't want to leave, but the sun had really worn Mason out so we thought we should head back instead of finishing or hike.

This is right when we had turned back.......

and this was right after that! haha he was wiped out. We only live about 20 minutes from Kolob so we hurried and got Mason home and he slept for about 2 1/2 hours! Poor little guy was exhausted and that doesn't look comfortable at all!!

Going Private!

Mason amazes me more and more each day. He is the happiest and smartest little boy i have ever met! Mason likes to point at my face when I'm nursing him and i always tell him "thats mommy's nose" or mouth or eye which ever one he points at or grabs. Well today i was playing with him and i said "Mason where's momma's nose?" and he pointed right at my nose. At first i thought it was just a coincident so i tried it a couple more times just asking where my nose was and each time he pointed right at it!! So i asked him where my mouth was and he pointed right at my mouth and then i asked where my eye was and of course he knew!! He also started to wave today it is so cute! I am so proud of my sweet little boy, he went to bed for the night and i cant wait until i get to play with him tomorrow!

Mason loves exploring with his mouth and anything and everything goes straight in as you can tell from the pictures!!

I love how much Mason loves his Mom and Dad. I mentioned before that anytime i leave the room Mason will keep his eyes on where i left until i come back and he always has an eye on me when i'm in the room with him. Well now that he can crawl he follows me everywhere i go! Haha it is so cute and funny. He gets frustrated because he cant get to me fast enough. I'll leave him in the living room, playing with his toys while i go get a drink in the kitchen and when i come back he is already half way to the kitchen. When he sees me he gives me a big smile and a look that i know means "did you see what i can do mom!" I love being a mom, there really isn't anything more amazing!!

I think I'm going to go private. Leave me your email if you would like to keep up with the Coy Family!!

9 Months!

At 9 months Mason has started to crawl!!! Actually he started his cute army crawl a couple of weeks ago. His favorite thing to do is to crawl straight to me so i can help him walk all over! haha

Mason is learning sign language and understands a couple of signs. He loves to clap, but when he claps he keeps his hands in fists. He is so silly!

9 Month stats

 17lbs. 5oz 6%

27.5 24% 

Mason might be a little guy but his Doctor said that he is right on track if not advanced for a 9 or even a 10 month old baby and extremely advanced for being premature! We are so proud of our little guy!!

Mason Loves swimming!! It was a little cold at first, haha can you tell by the look on his face! Cold or not he didn't want to get out!

We love taking walks everyday and taking Marley swimming!

Believe it or not this is our front yard! haha our lawn mower broke and our lawn turned into a jungle. Luckily I married a handy man and now the lawn looks great!

Two of Mason's cousins moved back to Utah last week, its so much fun to have them back!

Mason, Tate, and Paisley

Bubba is back too! Mason loves uncle Bubba!

One of Mason's favorite pass times, playing in the tub!

Pics for Nana!!

Mason's first day back church was great!  He was so good and quiet the whole time, He really loves watching people!!

When i was changing him after church i picked him up and the tie was hanging out of his mouth. It was so funny!

He was all ready to go to the game with us but we decided to leave him with Mimi and Papa. (it was a late game.)

Look at those eyes!

Mason was so funny playing in the grass he couldn't figure out what it was! Its so much fun now that its warm, we get to go on walks and play outside, Mason loves it!
