Mr. Mason's World

I'm getting so big, I'm 8 weeks old today.

My feet and hands are growing, but I haven't caught up with my sisters yet.

I don't like my baths, but I get them anyways.

I love to be held.........

and held............

and held.......................

and held..........................

and held....................

I also love to sleep..

and sleep.......

and sleep......

and sleep!

I also have started to smile, but just not for the camera.

(That's whats been going on in Mr. Mason's world. )

A blonde at heart

Ashley and I were in the grocery store tonight and while we were shopping someone announced over the intercom, " Courtesy on aisle 5 please." Ashley then turns to me and says,"Who would name their kid Courtesy?" I looked at her chuckled and thought," You did not just say that."
She then says to my chuckle, " I know, right!!" I then explained who Courtesy was.

I guess we all have our blonde moments.

HALLOWEEN

We had a great Halloween we went to our friends house where we and had great food and great company.

After dinner everyone loaded up on a trailer filled with hay bales and went trick-or-treating, they hit the neighborhood then went to a church where they we doing trunk-or treating.

The girls came back with their buckets full plus more in grocery bags. Can't wait to see the dentist bill next month!
















Mike was "Book Face".... I mean "Face Book"

Madisyn was a witch.

Emily was Jasmine.














Hannah was Raggedy Ann, which she pouted about all day, but ended up loving!!














Mason was a Red Hot Chili Pepper.

PUMPKINS

On Friday night we carved pumpkins. The girls all picked their faces and this year we lucked out and had three people carving, Ashley did her own, Maddy did her own plus Mason's and Mike did the rest. Emily and Hannah cleaned out theirs and Hannah keep insisting on washing her hands after every scoop in.

We finished the night off with baked pumpkins seeds and a Halloween movie.

Fall

Finally we got a break from the rainy/snow/cold weather and had a weekend that we could go to the pumpkin patch. We found a pumpkin patch in Still Water that the girls loved. After the pumpkin patch we went down the street to an apple orchard and had lots of yummy food that all had to do with apples, apples brats, apple donuts, and carmel apples. I love fall and all the things that come along with it, pumpkin patches, making Halloween cookies, Halloween movies, apple cider, fall decor, and trick or treating.





It had a lot of fun things outside to do and to look at.































































Hannah my soon to be Veterinarian loved all the animals that they had around, the turkey was her favorite she followed it around for a while.


















































































We also had our Fall Festival at church, which the girls have been waiting for all month. Hannah was feeling a little under the weather so she stayed home with Dad and Mason, her nice big sisters made their own carnival for Hannah so she wouldn't miss out to much.















They finished of the night with a little trunk or treating.















Maddy and Rebekah.














Emily and Karsyn.

MOA

A couple of weeks ago Mike's brother and family and youngest sister were out visiting. While they were here we all went to the Mall Of America, we had a great day shopping!



There were a couple of stores on their list that were a must, the Wisconsin Cheese store was one of them, Paul and Carter are huge Packers Fans!


Hannah got left out of the picture and insisted I get one of her.















Ashley and Pauline went shopping on their own for a while and hit all the clothing stores.















The kids and some of the adults loved lego land.


























































Emily has been asking to go to Build A Bear for a long time so this is one of the stores that was on the list.





































We don't make are way to MOA very often so it's always fun when we have visitors and have an excuse to go shopping for the day.

Smile

After almost 2 1/2 years Ashley finally got off her braces!!

Now she just has to wear her retainer, she got lucky her Ortho likes to use the clear retainers so you can't even tell she is wearing one, so she'll actually wear it unlike her elastic bands.(that had she had worn would have gotten her braces off a year earlier)

This smile is worth every penny!!
