Spring 2015

One of the best parts about being a mom is watching your kids learn and grow and experience new things. We have a lot of fun with Mason! We spent a lot of time at the park this spring, along with reading books and traveling (there have been other posts about our travels). Mason loves being outside and finding animals. A lot of our walks are him pointing and shouting at something he saw! Anyway, here are some pictures of the fun things we did this spring!

Mason loves watching Daniel Tiger, and one of the things he has learned from that show is how to be a helper! He loves helping carry in groceries and put food away in the fridge. It makes me happy :)

How he got his shirt off (two different mornings) I'll never know. Clever guy.

We love Rumba, and Mason loves apple juice!

Sometimes Mason decides we all need to wear hats. His hat is from when Sean was like 8, and Sean and I have to wear those same hats every time. We go on lots of walks to get out of the house.

We loved having a balcony at our apartment! Mason would go out there and people watch or play, and on occasion, read! His book there is called "The Pout Pout Fish" and its super cute!

Oh you know, reading outside in short sleeves one day, snowing the next. That's Utah spring for you!

Poor guy wasn't feeling well and didn't take a great nap, so he curled up in his blankets and watched Daniel Tiger while I finished my work hours for the day.

I taught him to play peek-a-boo around tree trunks!

Why did the duck cross the road?

We would visit the duck pond every so often. Mason loved chasing the ducks! My favorite thing about this picture is his shirt, it says "Snack Time"

Petting the cat that lives around our complex. Mason loves that cat, and often says "shhhh" when we go down the stairs in case the cat is sleeping.

Goofy hat boy! Those are his FAVORITE jimmies. 

He likes to sit in the driver's seat and pretend to drive.

This lovely little fence is across the street from our Provo apartment. Mason loved walking back and forth across the cement,

He's gotten really good at building with blocks (thanks nursery!)

LOVES his water table! Well the first couple times he did. Then he just wanted to go swimming and not play with the water in the table.

So sometimes we went to Grandma Parker's and swam.

Playground!

The first weekend in June, we went to Idaho for Sean's uncle's funeral. On the way home, we stopped in to say hi to Tommy, who is probably Sean's favorite person from his mission! Sean always talks about the meals Tommy would make for him and his companion :)

We also spend a lot of time at the Bean Museum (Mason loves animals). He runs from room to room pointing at all the animals and makes their noises. I think it's time for another visit...

That pretty much sums up our spring this year! I hate Utah winters but then spring/summer come around and I love it here, so it balances out I guess ;)
