Our New House

After many, many requests, I am finally posting pictures of our new house. 

So, when we first bought the house, it was a wall to ceiling yellowish beige (as you'll see in the before pictures), which is not really my taste.  But thanks to the help of Amanda, Virginia and Christy we were able to pretty much finish painting the entire upstairs before the furniture arrived.  It was a huge project, but we did it.  Whew!  Thank you so much for your help!  Without you, we really couldn't have accomplished as much in such a short amount of time!

I am just about finished with the decor, but it's always a work in progress for me. 
Anyhow, welcome to our home. 

Here's the foyer before...

This is the front office.

Here's a painting I painted for the back wall of the living room over the stairs leading to the basement.

Here's the upstairs bathroom next to Mason's room.  I haven't finished decorating Mason's room yet, so I don't have pictures yet...

Well, that is all I have for now.  We haven't even started on the basement yet, but we will once we have the family/entertainment room finished.  We're hoping to start on that in the next month or so.  


Ok, so I couldn't not post new pictures of Mason.  :)   We took these on his 10 month birthday.  He's growing up so fast.  The other night I was pointing at Sadie saying dogie and he imitated me saying "dod dee".  He just loves Sadie.  
I also have new stats as of his 10 month appointment:  He's weighing in at about 27lbs and measuring 31.5" tall.  Our doctor thinks there's a pretty good chance he's going to be tall since his percentiles have been consistent all along.  It's fun to imagine!  I'm just happy he's healthy and happy.   




Hope everyone is enjoying the new year!  We love you!

Merry Christmas!

My very first Christmas... 

We went to Grandma and Grandpa Calley's house in Colorado.  Mommy and Daddy told me about this guy named, Santa; how he brings all the good boys and girls presents on Christmas Eve.  Well, I was so afraid that he would be able to find me because we weren't at home, but he found me. And boy did he think I was a good boy...I got lots of presents!  



My First Cookie...




Daddy and I finally did it!  The Grandpa Calley tradition...standing on one hand.


This is Daddy and Grandpa Calley...


Daddy was teaching me how to play the piano.



My cousin, Broderick, was Baptized.


Santa must have stopped at our house too, because there were more presents there when we got home!  



Hope everyone had a Merry, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Stay Tuned...

Wow!  What a busy couple of months it has been....there was Halloween, moving into our new house in Utah, Thanksgiving, and the list goes on....  

I am very sorry that I am fallen behind on posting new photos and comments.  :(  But no matter, I have lots to share and show, so stay tuned....

Love, Mason

Happy Thanksgiving

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble....Happy Thanksgiving!

I am thankful for My Mommy and Daddy, my Doggie, my Family, and for the food on the table (especially the TURKEY!)




Mommy, me and Sadie



I've learned a new trick from the squirrels...how to hide food in my cheeks! 


Now I take baths in the big boy tub!





Hope everyone had as wonderful a Thanksgiving as I did!

Maryland Farewell

Well, our time in Maryland has sadly come to a close.

Maryland will always have a special place in our hearts.... 
With the arrival of our beloved son Mason, to the walks around Wilde Lake, and to the many wonderful friends we've added to our lives.  I will never forget a moment spent...

Here's to our final walk around Wilde Lake and farewell dinner at Red Robin...

Ooooo, what are these? 


Hey, who put that on my head...Dad!





Mmm....fiber.


Farewell dinner with everyone at Red Robin...


  






Thanks for all the great unforgettable memories!
