NKOTB~ flashback

Anybody remember NKOTB?? Hangin' Tough... This weekend I was able to score tickets to their reunion tour, coming to Portland in November.

I have since downloaded their album onto my IPOD, which made me laugh. The last time I listened to them was in the 6th grade, when my friend Janelle Brown bought me the TAPE for my birthday. Yes, I said tape... remember the days of making sweet mixed tapes?? I believe I also had a poster of Kirk Cameron on my wall.... he isn't exactly my type anymore!

2 months and counting...

Baby boy Mason is now 12 lbs 10 0z and 23.5 inches long... he received a clean bill of health.. and his first shots last week.

He is rapidly outgrowing Mr. Bear! His little personality is developing, he is very smiley, and very chatty (think he gets that from me??)

We are looking forward to some mild weather to break in Momma's new jogging stroller!

Mason is already 2 months old...

I cannot believe my baby is 2 months old already... he is rapidly becoming a smiley, cooey, chubby baby.

Picture #1 is Mason with his great Grandma Marion, and then some with his buddy the duck.. and last... we finally had nice enough weather to sit out in the yard with his cool hat!

A tribute to Aunt Mary....

Our beloved Aunt Mary left this earth last Saturday. She was an inspiration, and a wonderful person. She was one of my greatest role models. When I was little she would let me have sleep overs at her house, I will never forget that.... and she made the best sturgeon dip in the world :) I will always love her, and she will be missed greatly by all. Please keep Uncle Gary in your thoughts and prayers for us.....

Mason vs. the Bear

Our friends, Matt and Beth Twist started this neat tradition with their first baby, Jack. We thought it was just the neatest idea, so we are copying it!

Each month we take a picture with the same bear, to give us an idea of how big he is getting.

I found out today that he is alreayd 11 pounds! Big boy!

I apparently am challenged with the pictures, as the newborn picture is sideways,.. forgive my ignorance!

Mason's 1st trip to Cannon Beach!

We spent the weekend in Cannon Beach at the family beach house... as you can see, the weather turned out to be beautiful... we were thrilled, although we both feel that there is no bad weather at the beach!

Mason fell asleep all 3 times that we walked down there, but I know that he enjoyed it anyway.

Maisy behaved herself much better on this trip.. there were no seagulls injured during our trip which makes it a success!

On Saturday we joined my sister Emilee and her husband Joe, and my mom at the Astoria Seafood and Wine festival. Good times... but I was in bed by 8 o'clock that night!

Mason Rutherford Boyd is here!
