Cute Costume Pics

Mason loved wearing his lion costume. We didn't go trick or treating, but he got to wear it to the grocery store. He played really hard and then crashed. I love the second picture because it shows his first little tooth.

Roar!!!

Our little lion says "Happy Halloween!"

Hurricane Ridge

We took a drive up to Hurricane Ridge on Friday morning. It was about a 30 minute drive up to get there (5600 feet up) and was well worth it. We were up above the clouds and the views were breath-taking. You could see quite a few of the mountains and glaciers in the distance. This was Mason's first encounter with snow- he was really curious and got the cutest look on his face when he touched it. We went for a little hike and took the third picture which shows the ranger station/visitor center, the parking lot (our car is the first one on the left) and the mountains. The fifth picture looks down on Port Angeles and the water in the distance. I can't wait to go back up again in the Springtime to see all the flowers and green mountain sides.

Such a Guy

Boys must be born with the "remote" gene. Mason loves playing with ours and crys when you take them away.

Thanks Grannie!

Thank you Grannie and Grandpa D for my Haloween bib, shirt and book! I really like the kitty in the book and Mommy says I look adorable in the clothes! Love you- Mason

Riding My Bike

Here's some cute pics of Mason riding his bike. He is just starting to be able to ride it forward instead of just in reverse.

Jack-o-Lantern

Mason and Keith had a great time carving Mason's first Jack-o-Lantern. Mason didn't want to touch the insides at first, but loved playing with the spoon. His pumpkin turned out really cute and is now adorning our front porch. The seeds have already been roasted and eaten. One down two more to go...

Pumkin Patch (Revisited)

Pumkin Patch

Yesterday we took a family outing to the Pumkin Patch. It was tons of fun. Mason enjoyed picking the weeds more than the pumpkins, but had a blast all the same. We even managed to time our visit between the rainy periods. More pics to come as I'm having problems loading them right now...

Caterpillar

Great-Grandpa Davis made these fun pull-along caterpillars for all of the great-grandchildren. Mason loves to pull on and pick up his. I can't wait for him to be able to walk and drag it along behind him!

New Toy

Mason loves his new walker. It has all sort of fun things that spin on it and it folds down for him to ride on. Thanks Uncle Don and Aunt Kaye for sending money for this fun toy!!

Swimming Lessons

Mason and I started our Parent-Tot swimming lessons last night. It was a lot of fun and Mason really enjoyed it. When we first got into the pool Mason would cling to me, but by the end of our 30 min. class he was a lot more comfortable in the water. We did a lot of singing with motions, kicking on backs and stomachs, blowing bubbles, splashing, jumping into the water, and hand and arm motions. I think all the boys liked playing with the toys the best.

Mason is the youngest in a class of 4 boys (the others are over a year; the oldest 2 1/2). He wasn't too interested in the other kids, but was fascinated with the people swimming laps in the bigger pool.

Stay tuned for pictures; Keith is out on the boat so we didn't have a camera man.

First Haircut

Mason had his first haircut on October 6th. The lady that was doing all the bride maids' hair for the wedding gave him an impromptu haircut on outside on the front porch. He didn't mind at all because Daddy was holding him. She cut a surprising amount of hair off (which we put in a baggie to take home for his baby book). The best part was that Mason had "flirted" his way into a free haircut! He looks so grown-up now. Here are some before and after pics (we didn't have a camera with us for the actual haircut).

BEFORE

AFTER

Congratulations Holly and Aaron!!!

This weekend was pretty busy as I was in my best friend Holly's wedding. Mason was so good for the whole thing (couples dinners, rehearsal and dinner, hair and make-up party and then the wedding itself). So many people commented on how well behaved and handsome he is.

The wedding was beautifully done. Holly looked amazing! I am so happy for her and Aaron and wish them the best with their future together! Me and Mason after the wedding- we were both so tired!

The two best looking men at the wedding. I am so lucky!

Mason and the bride. He fell asleep before he got to dance with her.

Radio Check

Mason and I went to visit Keith on his boat the other day. Mason loved listening and talking to Daddy on the headsets, and enjoyed touching and playing with all the controls. It was nice to see where Keith works all day.
