Big Boy

Mason thinks he is so big, that he can hold his own bottle. He really likes to be independent.

The picture below was taken mere seconds after the first. Mason is a piggy. He does not appreciate when the food runs out.

Ah. And a random goody. My silly baby. I love, love this boy. He makes the funniest faces, and screams like a girl when he gets excited. It's awesome.

Ladies Man

Yesterday we went to the weekly dinner that is held at my grandparent's house in Salt Lake. My cousin Charmone had her stepsister with her. And I am here to tell ya, Angeline is a doll :) Everyone wanted them to have a little impromptu photo shoot, so here is the result with my Iphone camera! They are pretty cute, right?! The first picture is my favorite, because Mason looks scared out of his mind! (Or like he is going to eat her, I'm

Ugh, I love this little boy, and I enjoy him so much!! He is such a social, and happy kid. He brings so much joy wherever he goes. Oh, and PS- LOOK! He finally has enough hair for a "mini" fohawk style! Nothing like cousin Collin's beautiful head of hair, but we will take the few sparse hairs we can get :)

So much to say, so little time...

So, the blog has been left to fend for itself the last few weeks! I am a neglectful blogger - please don't turn me in! I promise to turn it all around!!

For the last few weeks, I have been crazy busy!! Be glad you didn't stop by my house!! WHAT. A MESS. It is funny how just a few days of skipping out on the tidy/pickup time can make the whole house look like a pack of angry trolls whipped through on a wicked rampage! It is driving me WILD. I am by no means a clean freak, but sheesh. The clutter is starting to creep into my dreams... In which case I know it is time to suck it up, stay up late, and clean!! Why so busy you ask?! Well. There are several factors! Lets start at the top!

Factor #1- Mason.
Oh, how I love my little boy! He is precious. He is smiling more, giggling out loud, babbling profusely, and is absolutely spoiled rotten!! He loves to be held. But only if you let him stand up, please. If you try to get him to sit, he will use his newly found voice to loudly protest. So, I found him a Jumperoo on KSL, thinking to myself, "Perfect! This will buy me some time!". Oh, boy. Sure! He will stand in it! If... You sit on the floor next to him :) Spoiled, spoiled bug. But, he is growing so much before my very eyes, I am so willing to play, and watch his every move as he demands it. He is 5 MONTHS OLD today!! Holy smokes! I could cry :(

Factor #2- Church.
I love it! The picture is my scripture cover... I mean look at it! Doesn't it just make you want to open them up and read?! Reading church history books, watching church movies, praying at night, and nagging Nate. Ahh. It is so much fun. And it is so totally worth it! I really enjoy Sundays. I look forward to them infact. I cannot wait for Mason to be old enough to sing me church songs. I am hoping to get a calling! (Even though my time is not overly abundant!) I would love to be able to give back, and learn more, and more!

Factor #3- Babysteals.
I posted about this awesome, extremely addicting, love affair for mama's all over the country a few months ago. Am I spending all my time stealing? Kind of. I work for them!! Ah, it is the COOLEST job, and I work with the most FABULOUS people I have ever met! What do I do there you ask? Well, if you ever email into orders@babysteals.com, you just might get a reply from me! (Or the amazing Em J!!) Or, if you hop by our Facebook page www.facebook.com/babysteals, and show us some love, I may return the favor! It has been a whirlwind blast. My schedule has been bananas as I have learned from Em J, and grasped all the greatness that is Babysteals :) I still have MUCH to learn, but I am loving every second of it!!

So in a nutshell. There's the factors that all add in to my crazy world!! I will do a better job of updating the blog... Promise! AND last, but definitely not least... Brandon and Ranell (and Capri too!) welcomed the very handsome Collin Jace Whicker into the world last Friday! He is a studly young man, with a head full of beautiful brown hair. My bald little Mason is looking forward to meeting his pre-arranged best friend. Congrats to the Whickers, and their beautiful family!
(Oh, and PS. Mason really likes to sit up in carts, and take in all the attractions. See? He really is huge!! Ugh. My baby is getting to be such a big boy. I am going to wake up tomorrow, and he'll be 5!! Note to Mason: You are upsetting your mother. Please stop growing so quickly.)
