Birthday Parties

Friday night, we went to a cookout/pool party for Baylee's 9th birthday. Mason really enjoyed the pool.

Then Daddy joined in the fun.

Saturday afternoon, we went to a party for Dalen's 2nd birthday.

"Throw the ball Mason."

Dalen wanted to be sure nobody else got his hats.

This little girl showed Mason how to ride a stick horse.

They had noodles to play with.

We really enjoyed the parties. It's nice to get out and watch Mason have a good time.

"G-day Mate"

We spent the last week in the Outback, talking about Jesus. It was a busy week, but filled with lots of fun moments.

Saturday after a baby shower, Mason and I went to visit GranNanny, Pap-Paw, and Uncle Dakota.

They have to get some jump time in.

Dakota was making a face at Mason because he kept putting stuff in his mouth and Dakota didn't understand why, Mason would do such a thing.

Sleepy Head!

Phil and Mason took a nap on Sunday, while I cleaned up the kitchen. Both of them are so cute when they sleep.

We had our first night of VBS at church. We pack a lot of activities into 2 and a half hours of class. Needless to say, we will be busy and tired all week, but it's worth it.

Mason's rash is all gone now. It was pretty much gone Sunday morning, so he was back at daycare today. We think he might have had Fifth Disease. You never really know what kind of illnesses are out there until you have a child.

RASH

Mason was running a fever and developing a rash, when I picked him up on Monday afternoon. He was not allowed back to daycare on Tuesday, so he stayed with Dada. We brought him to the doctor, who said it was a virus and it would just have to run it's course. He said he could go back to daycare if he did not run a fever for 24 hours. He still hasn't run a fever since Monday evening, but since the speckles on his body doubled over night, he stayed with Nana and Papa today. The rash does not seem to be bothering him, because he's been playing like his normal self. We're praying it will go away very soon.

Beware. He has triple the speckles on his bottom.

Hope this rash doesn't visit your home. It really looks awful.

Have a good rest of the week.

Celebrating with Family

To start off the morning of July 3rd, Mason taste tested coffee grounds. Yuck! Dada was cooking some eggs while Mason watched from the counter top, with a spoon in his hand. He then found the canister of coffee, and boy did he make a face. He was trying to scratch it off his tongue.

Friday evening we had Justin, Fiona, Justis, Huntleigh, Kelby, Nana and Papa over for hot dogs. We talked and watched the kids run around.

"Mason, you have to share the seat."

On Saturday, the 4th, we headed to Aunt Debbie's, Bryan's and Nikki's for a get together. There sure was some good eating. Then when the sun went down, it was time for fireworks.

Mason even made a new friend. This little girl was all over Mason, trying to hug him. He really didn't know what to think.

Aunt Edie, Uncle Mike, Granny Pullen

GranNanny even managed to enjoy herself, despite some serious leg and back pain she's been having for over a month now. Please say a prayer for her, this is going on her 6th week out of work. She did have her first round of physical therapy today, and will have another on Friday.
