My little Mason!

This is his new scowl face and his beautiful blue eyes!

Mason had his 1 year check up a couple days ago.  I can hardly believe he is one!  Seriously, that year just flew by.  He weighed 21 lbs. 8 oz (30%), 31 in (85%), and 75% for his head.  He is still very tall, but has slimmed down quite a bit, probably because he is the busiest boy ever.  He is just about ready to walk.  He stands by himself and has taken a few steps to me.  He just has to get his courage up!

He hasn't been taking any naps the past week or so and I kind of thought something must be wrong, and sure enough he had an ear infection in one of his ears.  Poor little thing.  The funny thing is, he hasn't had a fever, still sleeps 12 hours at night, and was happy during the day, except for naps.  Silly boy, I would've never guessed!  So, after being on antibiotics for the past couple days he is napping again and it is heaven!  I was getting worried for a few days that he just wasn't going to take naps anymore.

His new favorite thing is the kitchen garbage can.  He crawls over to it and says "kkkkkuuuuu" because that is what I say to him when he tries to get in it.  So, we have to put it up out of reach when he is awake!

We love our Mason boy!  He brings sunshine to my days!

Mason's Birthday and other Taylor happenings.

Happy 1st Birthday Mason!

Wow, that year sure flew by.  He is such a sweet little guy and is still a pretty mellow fellow.  He liked his cake.

Cousin Hazel, she is just 3 months younger than Mason.

For the Cable family party I made this mermaid cake plus the fish at the bottom - I couldn't let Mason have a mermaid for his birthday:)  We also celebrated Elle's birthday the same night.  It turned out pretty good considering it was 30 inches long (huge).  At least we had plenty of cake for the entire family.  My sister, Kendra, and I got Camille and Elle tickets to Disney on Ice for their birthday.  Kendra made up this cute princess treasure hunt that we sent them on to find the tickets.  It was a lot of fun.  We are going in November with Grandma.  It will be a fun girls day.

Another exciting thing that happened this week is that Garet got to go hunting with the big boys for the first time.  He is the only grandson on Jared's side of the family besides Mason, so Daddy couldn't wait to get him out there.  He was so thrilled and can't wait to go again next year.  Thanks Dad, Grandpa, Uncle Will, and Uncle Jason!

Garet and Grandpa.  He got to ride on the four wheeler with Grandpa.

The house as of last week!  We can't wait.

One of Garet's little friends comes over to play once a week and yesterday they had to get out in the leaves.  They played outside the entire time!  AAAHH Fall!

They were wearing the fireman hats backwards to keep the leaves out of their faces, silly boys!

Happy Happy Birthday Camille!

Camille turned 6 years old yesterday!  We are so glad to have her in our family.  She is such a special little girl and is growing up soooo fast.  Here are a few pictures of her past birthdays.

Camille's 2nd birthday!

Camille's third birthday.  (Her cousin Elle is just 10 days younger than her, so we usually have a party for both of them)

Four years old!

Turning five, the big princess party!

And finally, 6 years old.  We had two parties this year, one in Duchesne with Jared's family and one with my family!  We also celebrated Mason's birthday, since his is coming right up.

We love you sweetie pie!

Update on the House!

Here are some pictures of the house.  I went out today and the framers are done, but I forgot the camera, so I'll have a picture next time.  We are getting so excited!

Jared with his truck full of supplies for the basement. Wow, it is loaded!

Jared is framing the exterior walls in the basement, so the kids have been over helping him.  They LOVE to  build and play in the dirt!  Even Mason has a great time.  Garet said, "Hooper has lots of treasures".  He thinks all the leftover scraps that the workers leave are "treasures".  Funny boy!
