Mason's smash cake

Mason loved eating his birthday cake and didn't even care it was 2 months late.

Anthony put together a video with Mason's theme song for you to enjoy.

To sum up Mason:

Lover of:  outdoors, food (especially tomatoes), and his family.

Who feels like: every toy should be on the ground, and all glass should be smashed within seconds of seeing it.

Who needs: to climb as high as he can on every table, couch, surface that goes up.

Who gives: the best dimpled smile and laugh that could even make the grinch's heart melt.

Who fears: the music stoping.  This boy has some killer dance moves and fears not getting them all done before the song ends.

Who would like to see: a law passed allowing him to walk down the center of the road (thank goodness we live in a cul-de-sac or he might be dead he darts for the street as soon as he thinks no one is looking).

P.S. Vanessa rocks at making cakes, thank you.

Kaitlynn

Kaitlynn told me today:

"Mom you don't look pretty."  "Unless you are wearing leggings or skinny jeans, then you are not pretty."

She is 3, I still laugh that she knows what skinny jeans are.

Kenzie & Mason

Kenzie has a special place in her heart for Mason.  She is always doing nice things for him.  She loves to push Mason around our cul-de-sac, and occasionally will hop on and give him a ride.  She is so sweet to him.

Christmas Lights

We have lived a lot of places, but no place we have lived has a more beautiful Christmas Light display than the ones around the S.L.C. Temple.

(When Kaitlynn saw the temple she pointed & said "Look mom a castle"
