Sweet Dreams

Mar. 20th, 2011

Tonight I asked Boyd to say prayers, and he did! I totally expected to have to help him from start to finish and he totally surprised me by saying it all by himself. He hesitated in the middle of his prayer, and I went to help him, just to have him cut me off to say, "thankful for Mom, Dad, Boyd, and Mason." He also mentioned something about going bye-bye. I only wish Quentin was home to witness this! I love a child's prayer, because it is so pure and sweet! Boyd has such a sweet heart.

Peep! Peep! Peep!

Mar. 8th, 2011

A couple of days ago, I gave Boyd (our 2 year old) a rabbit peep for the first time, and I told him to eat the ears first. Well, today he was playing with my decorative rabbits and ate the ear off of one of them:( Be careful what you tell your 2 year old, they just might think that it applies to everything!

Boyd's Disneyland Trip

Monorail rides!!!

So many of you are probably thinking, you are crazy for having taken a two week old to Disneyland--and you are so right!!! But, you really need to understand the reason behind it, before you totally judge us:)

Since Nov. 2011, Boyd has been asking to go back to Disneyland everyday. We told Boyd that we couldn't go, because we needed to wait for Baby Mason to come. He took that very well, but reminded us 5 times everyday. "When Baby Mason comes, I go see pop pop fireworks with Mommy, Daddy, Baby Mason, Boyd, and Grandma and Grandpa, too!"

Well, you could imagine what happened when Baby Mason finally did come home..."When Baby Mason comes, I go see pop pop fireworks with Mommy, Daddy, Baby Mason, Boyd, and Grandma and Grandpa, too! AND THAT'S BABY MASON!!!" Boyd was pretty upset that we didn't deliver Disneyland right away and we knew that if we were to ever redeem ourselves with Boyd, we needed to take Boyd to Disneyland. We really couldn't be known as LIARS in our son's eyes.

Picture Time with Auntie Jenny

Feb. 16th, 2011

Auntie Jenny flew out to our house from Washington to take pictures of our cute, adorable Mason.

Mason gets a visitor at the hospital!

While Shelly and Mason were still at the hospital, they got a surprise visitor, BOYD! He was real excited to see Mommy again, but we couldn't keep him away from his new brother.
