Happy Anniversary!

A driving we will go!

Anytime that Mason gets the chance, he wants to drive the car like mommy and daddy. He sits down and puts his seat belt on and pushes a few buttons on the dash board turns the rear view mirror a little and then pretends he's driving with the steering wheel. It is a scream fest when we try to get him out and put him into his car seat. So we let him pretend while we are cleaning the car, but still let him know that it is very dangerous when we are not around.

Happy 4th of July

This year we tried something different. We usually go to Sugar House Park and watch the fireworks then wait in the traffic to get home. This year we went to my good friend Merideth's parents house and had a barb b q and did some of our own little fireworks. The kids all had fun. We gave them sparklers and let them run around with them. The kids were so new to the fire sticks that they had in thier hands that they just stood there looking at it. From Merideth's parents house you can see the stadium of fire fireworks, thanksgiving point fireworks, and other small parks fireworks. McKayla and Lexi sat on Scott's shoulders so that they could get a better look. It was a really fun and relaxing 4th. Thank you Briles Family!

Mom! I am trying to read!!

McKenna looked so peaceful looking at her book that i had to take this picture.

Miss McKenna!!

She is now four months and is a well behaved little lady. She smiles when you talk to her and is such a good baby.



She is getting to be so big and looks much like her daddy. She loves her daddy. He can make her laugh for a long time. Yesterday he threw her in the air and caught her and it normally freaks me out, but she was just laughing away. Then there are times when daddy loves her cute pouty face and makes a scarry noise just to see it. Just wait daddy she will use that pouty face sure enough later when she wants something!



She loves her brother. They are buddies. When i put her down for tummy time, she does not like it one bit, but big brother comes to the rescue and flips her back over. When she cries, Mason says "Nenna crying, Nenna crying" over and over until i go and do something about it. They are so cute together. He already has that big brother protector instinct. Its funny how they interact with each other and its something that you don't teach them, its just something that they learn on thier own.

Old MacDonald had a farm.

Sometimes i think my son was meant to grow up on a farm. He loves the animals, the fresh air, and of course all the running space he could ever want. My best friend's parents house is in Eagle mountain, Utah with alot of land to roam free. They have ducks and chickens and bees and fish. Mason's favorite part of being out there is the tractor. He loves it so much that it is a big fight to get him off. but it is peacefull and he enjoys it. It also gives me a break and i am all about going places where there is nothing he can get into.

Happy 2nd Birthday Mason!!

Mason loves the playground and loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and the Little Einsteins so I decided to make his theme a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday party at Mickey park(really veterans park in west jordan). It was fun. I made his cake based on the "Oh Toodles" character. It was hard but I did it all out of love. Then i ordered these mickey mouse ears for all of his little friends to wear at the party. It was cute and everyone had a lot of fun. McKenna enjoyed hanging out and watching her big brother play with all of his friends.



We gave Mason a bike for his birthday and he is still learning to pedal it. Everyday he comes home and says "Bike". But when he gets on it he means " I sit while you push".
