After becoming a big one year old, Mason has decided that he would like to do and say more things. Andy and I lovingly refer to these developments as, "Mason's Party Tricks." To name a few: Mason's first word is officially car and he says it a lot...especially in parking lots. Mason can raise one finger when asked how old he is, walking is no longer a total disaster, he high fives, knows where to find his head and tongue and my favorite, Mason can give kisses. Really, it's just an open mouth lick but I'll take it! Mason also dances which I have yet to capture on video but I'm trying!
Why didn't I put these shoes on Mason earlier? This occupied us for easily 35 minutes.

Happy Birthday, Mason!
Wow! Our little guy is no longer zero but one! Andy and I enjoyed the official day by reminiscing about our time together twelve months ago. Life was just a tad different than it is today. On Saturday we enjoyed a Mason's Favorite Things themed birthday party with the fam. We headed to Rady park to grill, play and splash in the stream. After the park, we all headed home for some cake and the viewing of the birthday video. If I can figure out how to post it, I will!
Here is Pumpkin on his official birthday. What a big boy.
AJ and Mason got into the beers at the park. Just like their daddies.
Our little soccer champ is now trying to kick any ball that he sees.
Dax enjoyed wearing his rain boots in the creek looking for critters.
Mason got a Colossal Splash n Play Pool from Mommy and Daddy and boy is it chilly! It is really funny when Mason accidentally sits in the water. He sure is quick to stand back up! Any time you're up for a swim, come on over.
Ahh, yes. The tractor cake. When I told Andy that I thought a tractor cake would be neat, he immediately envisioned a THREE DIMENSIONAL cake. Oh, geeze.
So, Andy baked the cake and gave verbal directions as to how it should look. I'd say it was a success!
Mason did a fabulous job eating the cake even though it was way past his bedtime.
Happy birthday, Mason. Happy birthday to you :)

olives and tantrums
For the record, Mason had already had plenty of olives and it truly was time to take an olive break. In other interesting food news, Mason is a huge fan of our homemade spicy, pickled beans. Crazy kid.
