A day at the Utah State Fair!

We took Mason to the Utah State Fair in September. They had a lot of rides, slides, and games. We let Mason ride on the pony ride. He had a great time. I was scared for him so I made Scott walk beside him because I was to affraid of the little horse. Because I am pregnant I made Scott take Mason down the big yellow slide. He had so much fun. At the fair they have a little farm where the little farmers can do some farming chores. You started out by putting on your apron and getting a bucket of feed for the animals (corn). Then you went and picked an apple off of the fake tree. Then went and got a seed and planted it in a huge sand box and went to the other side to harvest your plant. All the while you are keeping all the things you are collecting in this little bucket. You bailed some hay and rode it around in your tractor (tricycle with a wagon on it). You pick an egg from under a fake chicken in the chicken coop, shear a sheep for some wool and feed the sheep and milk a cow (water squirted out of the utters of a fake cow). You took all the things you collected saying that you did all the stations and turned it in for a healthy treat. It was my favorite part of the fair. (and the only one that did not cost an arm and a leg). It was way too cute and fun! I wish i would have gotten pictures but my camera had died about then. It always happens when you want to take a picture of something good!

Why Husbands don't bathe kids!

I asked Scott if he could give Mason a bath, because normally I do the bed time routine. Well you can see below they had a GREAT time!

Mason's first bike ride.

Mason had a great time with this. We borrowed Scott's sister's bike and seat and bought Mason a cool toddler helmet and off they went. I followed on a bike to see how he did and he just sat there and enjoyed the ride. I tried riding him around and I was a little wobbly at first but once you get going it is a smooth ride. Have to hurry and get more rides in before it gets too cold!!

It's a Girl!

Alright another new post! See i am getting better. We are pregnant with baby number 2. sorry no pictures yet and I don't know how to scan the ultrasound to put it on here so you will have to wait for my pregant self pictures. I am currently today 16 weeks and 4 days. Amazing isn't it! I am a little nervous having two but if everyone else can do it, then so can I!! My due date is Feb. 19, 2008. Wouldn't it be crazy if it were Feb. 14 or Feb. 29. The girl names we like are : McKenna (this is our favorite), Brooklyn, Kyla, and there was another one but for some reason my brain just can't think of it. You know how that goes! Well the next time I post I promise it will have some kind of pictures!

Update!! Per everyone's request.

Just a little update on what's going on. Scott took the bar in July and is currently waiting for his test results. They don't tell you until October. Bummer!
We are playing the waiting game until then.

Scott is playing Mr. MOM while I am working. He calls it vacation from his 3 years of studying. We are currently living at his family's house. Saving up money for a house and all the other finer things and necessities in life.

Mason now has 3 teeth and he is 14 months. I know only 3!! But they are still sharp, watch out because he knows what they are used for....to bite your pointy fingers. I have never met a child who loved to brush his teeth more than Mason. He loves it. Every morning I can say " Mason lets brush your teeth" and he will run into the bathroom and wait patiently for me to put toothpaste (baby orajell brand) on his toothbrush and brush his gums and 3 teeth. When i am done he cries because he wants to keep doing it. I have bought him his own play toothbrush and he takes that everywhere. Somtimes i wonder what he will want to be when he grows up, watching his likes and dislikes of things. I guess a dentist wouldn't be that bad.

We miss all of our friends close and far and hope we can meet up with them again.

Until then watch for the next blog!! it may take me a while...it always does.

Camping under the stars!

Mason had a great time camping out under the stars for his first time( real camping...in a tent!). Earlier that day Scott had to pack all of our gear and clothes and pick me up at work to head out to go camping with the Marsing Family for Father's Day weekend. Scott had only brought Mason two outfits, and I was in high heel shoes. Needless to say it was an experience. It was my first time as well in a tent with no bathrooms nearby and no showering. It got really cold at night but Mason kept me really warm. He was so cute sleeping in his own sleeping bag and eating smores. He loved playing with the other kids that were there, but also playing in the dirt. Scott's friend had a four wheeler and Scott took Mason on that for his first time and he loved it. He kept saying "oooooo". It was a great Father's Day weekend.

A boating we will go...

So we decided it was about time that Mason had his first boat ride. I mean after all his dad is an avid fisherman. Both men must have a boat to fish. I was a little nervous about the boat ride. How would Mason react? Would there be a small enough life jacket for him? You know the routine....worried mommy syndrome. Well, he did great and loved watching the water hit the boat. When the boat got real jumpy, he stuck it out like a real trooper!!




Mason all smiles in his lifejacket. (this is before we got into the water!)
