HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY MASON!

One whole year of Mason Scott Mash. Happy Birthday to our sweet, baby boy. Oh, I guess he's not a "baby" anymore.

On the Farm...

Sunday we spent most of the day outside at GranNanny's and Pap-Paw's. I can already tell Mason is going to be a busy bee, when he's outside. He wanted to get into everything, but of course that's nothing new.

We started our Sunday with giving Mason a bubble bath. He loves his bath time.


After church we headed to my parents house. Great Paw-Paw came over and showed Mason around on the bulldozer. Mason sure has his great grandfather wrapped around his pinky.






He is fishing for his sunglasses in the tire.



Putting rocks in a bucket. He only tried to eat two or three.



Voom, Voom. This was uncle Dakota's when he was a toddler.



Too sweet. He's checking out the "moo" cows.



Looking at a different angle.






GranNanny & Mason





Some more fun on a slide.










Uncle Dakota acting silly as usual. It's hard to believe we're 17 years apart, although my mom says we act like we're only 2 years apart.





He climbed in and out of the car a hundred times.




Great Granny Rubert and Eugene came by Sunday evening too.



Like I said in a previous post, Mason has really taken off with walking. He'll just take off walking like it's no big deal. When he's walking to something, he'll hold up his arms and just fall into it. He just gets so excited. Something else about Mason, he has a huge appetite. We haven't found anything he doesn't like. He even ate spinach and artichoke dip at O'Charley's. He loves bananas, green beans, and pizza. What can I say, he eats like his daddy.
Mason's 1st Birthday is just a week away, it's hard to believe. He's changed so much in his 1st year.
Have a great week.











Fun at the Park

Saturday we enjoyed some time at the park. We walked a little, then pushed Mason on the swing. I took my 20D Canon camera, but forgot to put a memory card in it, so thank goodness I had my point and shoot camera in my purse.

Mason's first time on a swing. He wasn't scared nor was he overly excited. He was more concerned about the people around us.

WEEEEEE!



Mason made a new friend.



Just a swingin.


He really liked the slide.







Quick family photo.



This is what happens when Mason gets out of hand. Just kidding!


My sweet boy.

I can't wait until spring gets here. I know we'll be back at the park.




Technical Difficulties

We've had some problems with out internet the past couple of nights, therefore keeping me from posting any pictures from our weekend. Hopefully, it will be up and running when I get home this evening.

Everybody be safe with the storms that are coming.

I just have to let you know, that Mason has taken off with his walking. Sunday was a big day for him. He would walk from here to there without even having to be encouraged to do so. He's so cautious when he walks, if he's going too fast he'll just stop and start over, instead of falling down.

Wonderful Weekend Weather

Mason had probably forgotten what grass and leaves looked like, until yesterday. We went out for a stroll after church. The weather sure made me wish spring would hurry up and get here.


Mason is one cool dude.


Standing, but not walking.


Look!!!


The curious three.

Phil was working on the water line that goes to the barn, and Mason wanted to supervise.




I love how they're sitting the exact same way. He sure was interested in what daddy was doing.
Mason is finally starting to cut his two top teeth. WooHoo!
Phil and I finally decided that we will put Mason in Hospi-Tots when he turns a year old, which is only three weeks away. Until then, he will continue to stay with Mrs. Clark.
An update on my walk/run program:
The first week of the program was not as bad as I thought it would be. I actually looked forward to doing my workout. I was able to workout 5 out of 7 days. I hope to do the same this week. I didn't lose any weight, but I didn't gain any either. I feel great after a workout, it's so exhilarating. I just pray that I stick with it and really make a change that's permanent.
