Mason's first flight! I think he definitely earned his "wings"!

Mason and Mommy after his first plane ride (to Chicago)! He didn't actually start acting up until we had to wait in line for the rental car.  Mason was such a good boy for all three hours of the flight.  We were such nervous first parents that I basically nursed him the whole time (up, down, and in between) just to make sure he didn't cry! The funny thing was that we received so many compliments on how we were "such good parents".  If you can keep your baby from crying for a whole three hours on the plane you just might be nominated for the 'best parents of the year' award!  :o)  Oh well, we still appreciated the compliments!

Happy 90th Birthday Great- Great- "Nanny" 
We really wanted Mason to meet his Great- Great- "Nanny" and what better time than for her big birthday celebration.  We were really glad we were able to make it.  She was so happy to have all of her family there with her.  I must say, it was quite the "fancy, shmancy" party! Mason and I were best friends during the event as we had to sneak him a few snacks every once and a while.

Josh kept busy entertaining our cute little nephews and niece! He's so good with kids!

Mason and Mommy at the Party! Wow! You would think he meant to pose like that! What a cutie!
Mason really loved meeting his Great- Great- "Nanny".  She was really good with him.  There was one morning where Mason and her had some time without the rest of the family around.  He was smiling for her like he hadn't really smiled for anyone before (besides his mommy and daddy).  He even fell right to sleep on her lap- no rocking necessary!  It truly was a special experience for them to meet!


Mason's blessing day!
Mason was blessed on August 3rd.  We were so blessed to have so many of our friends and family come (many from out of town) to see our little "angel" (don't be fooled by the pictures.... he really was a happy boy that day.... it just doesn't show).  What a special blessing he received! While giving the blessing Josh really felt how special this little guy really is... to us....and.... to our Heavenly Father.   We truly are so blessed!  

Thank you so much to all who were able to come! We love you!

Hey you updated!!!! He is getting so big. I love it. I took Cooper on a plane when he was like7 months old and he cried pretty much the whole time. That is great he did not cry. Awe really need to hang out again.
