Mason's 2nd Birthday Party!

Mason turned 2 on Feb. 19, with a party on the 20th. It was a Mickey party.

Yep, Mason went to sleep during his party. (Of course, Granny Fite's rocking pushed him over the edge.)

Trying to wake him up. I took him outside in the sun and told him he had presents to open. It took him about 5 minutes to sit up straight and he was ready for his gifts.

We put out Mickey & Friends pictures for the kids to color, but I think the adults enjoyed them more.

He really got into the gift opening. Tissue paper flying everywhere.

He got the four wheeler from a friend of ours and mommy & daddy bought him a slide. I'm so excited about having a slide for him this summer.

A life size Mickey balloon. He was so cool! (It's been a week and two days since the party and Mickey is still floating around the house.)

Pow-Pow (aka Pap-Paw), Dakota, Nanny, and Mason

One last picture before we go home. It was a long day, but well worth it.


We are so blessed to have family and friends to come out and celebrate our little boy's birthday! I know Mason had a blast! Thank you to everybody who came out. A big Thank You to Mr.Rick again for taking over my camera and capturing these wonderful moments. (Just send me the bill. lol)

A Little Party

We had a small Halloween party on Saturday night, plus a hayride.

Thanks, everyone who came out and enjoyed some chili and desserts.

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.

Mama to Mason: "What does a firework say?"

Mason to Mama: " BOOM"

Dakota's 8th Birthday Party

Dakota actually turned 8 on May 3rd, but we had his party yesterday.

Check out his cake. GranNanny made this herself. I'm still not sure why none of her cooking talents passed down to me.




The birthday boy!



Cory, Jackson, Justis, Dakota

"Aunt" Cassie and Mason

Mason is really into playing peek-a-bo. He'll pretty much hide behind anything.

"Where did Mason go?"

"There is he is!"

That cupcake sure was good.

Mason made a new friend, Jackson. Jackson and Colton(previous picture) are new neighbors to my parents. Jackson is 10 days older than Mason.

Take turns.

Too cute. You never know what the little ones are going to do.

Water gun fight. Corey, Curtis, Dakota, Justis.

Since Mason couldn't shoot a gun, he was satisfied just playing in the bucket of water.

Heather and Mason.

This picture brings tears to my eyes. This is why I love photography to capture pure moments like these. Mason and his Great Grandfather.

I wanted to get a quick picture of my dearest friend and her boys with me and my boy.




Dakota, hope you had a blast at your 8th birthday party. Sissy loves you!

(You maybe asking, "Where is Phil?" He had to work.)
