PUSH PLAY ON THE PICTURE THAT COMES UP AS THE VIDEO TO WATCH MASONS FIRST BIRTHDAY PIE FEAST...

**warning: picture overload!*

First of all I dont know what is going on....every picture is a mile apart....not sure whats going on...

ANYWAYS...

We Celebrated MASONS 1st BIRTHDAY on saturday at Wild Kingdom and it was SOOOOOOO MUCH FUN! We had about 50 family and friends there to Party with Foreman Mason.

Not excited about being "pinned down" to take a picture with his hat on.....

He had a BLAST!!!!

I could have taken pictures of people going down this slide all day.....halarious!

Yes, His mind wanted to go up the GIANT slide but his body just couldnt climb up.....

GROUP SHOT....minus a couple more.

This was right before the kids all started to jump up to get off and MASON WENT FLYING INTO THE AIR AND ONTO THE FLOOR......

Katie and Linds started off the Jousting competition.....

Then, Craig took her down!

Then, Craig took kang down...after kang gave him a good smack to his head....the worker comes and asks me "they arent hitting each other in the head are they?!" ummm....NOt on purpose!!??

Craig jousting against his dad.....NO MERCY...he doesnt care if you are 5 or 80 Craig will take you down if it means HE Wins :)

Finally Craig and Roger Faced off...i think roger won this one?! Not sure....craig was hearing bells at this point.

The smirk of a pyromaniac....just like his father :)

HE DUG RIGHT IN!!!

He would have kept going but I had visions of Yellow throw up in the middle of the night if I let my sugar boy keep going........sorry bud.

I literally broke into a sweat opening his presents because the Wild Kingdom told me i "probably wouldnt have time to open all his presents before we had to be out".....DONT THREATEN ME!:)

Mason was getting SO mad at me when i would throw his new toy to the side everytime.....

The BIRTHDAY BOYS!!! 60 years and 2 days apart :)

Same birthday song...in chinese....with tambourines..much more exciting:)

Mason with Grandma K....on his Truck that makes honking sounds OVER AND OVER AND OVER :)

our poor kids playing with his new toys that are still in the boxes......apparently it doesnt matter :)

The aftermath....

Masta Boy we LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

XXOOOO

and The "king bananahead" as paige called him....he was finally initiated into the loft by paige...you never know what you will come out looking like...

Sorry Roger...i had to...

Its officially Christmas.....

because DISNEYLAND says SO!

If they can decorate I can decorate :)

We went down to meet my Aunt Sue and Angie at Disneyland Wednesday...and it definately got me ready for Christmas to start NOW in our house....

So....After waiting over a YEAR and every time we go Paige asking "Do you think small world will be 'ficked' today??"

Small world was FINALLY reopened......

I dont think paige could have been more excited to see that the clock was ticking again!

Everything was shining inside and the boats seats were no longer made of sand paper :)

MASONS 1st RIDE THROUGH SMALL WORLD.....i think he was very impressed with all the dancing ladies :)

My aunt found these necklaces and they are a STEAL at only $5 at disneyland!!

It was the BEST Day! It felt like we had the park to ourselves....

Paige even got to "sneak on" Soaring over California for the 1st time!!

I know shes not quite 40"inches so she "tippietoed" her way in!! Her mouth was wide open and she was squealing the WHOLE way through!!! :)

OH AND 99.9 and 103.5 MADE MY DAY PLAYING CHRISTMAS MUSIC ON THURSDAY....

Craigs already had enough :)

My 100th Post....

I have recently had a hard time with the reactions after Proposition 8 had passed last week. I just read this article from a friends blog http://www.ldsmag.com/ideas/081110hate.html.

I had not seen these images before today and it made my heart sink when I see the vandalism on our Temple .... the temple Craig and I were sealed in. I thought I would share this article because it has some really good thoughts on the subject.

In a recent article on Christian Courage , Elder Robert D. Hales of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles wrote, “I would say that one of mortality's great tests comes when our beliefs are questioned or criticized. In such moments, we may want to respond aggressively – to put up our dukes . But these are important opportunities to step back, pray, and follow the Savior's example. Remember, Jesus Himself was despised and rejected by the world. But when we respond to our accusers as the Savior did, we not only become more Christlike, we invite others to feel His love and follow Him as well.

We have often been instructed to love our enemies, and despite the current horror of our trials, this is no time to do differently.

I guess the battle has really begun and no white surrender flag will be going up anytime soon.

Paige....

Yes, We had our YES on Prop 8 sign taken last week and Paige has missed it ever since.

We were driving through Yorba Linda yesterday and there were groups of people on every corner holding YES on PROP 8 signs...we were stopped at a signal and from the back Paige yells....

MOM THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO STOLE OUR SIGN!!! :)

It seems like halloween in our house every day.

Since were always having a dress up party at our house -today was really no different, except that she got to got to a PARTY while dressed up!

We had trunk or treat on Friday night so we got to do a "dress rehearsal" on our costumes. Paige's came together once I found the orange spray in the closet from last year - With the orange hair and eye brows she REALLY looks like she is Craigs daughter :)

This one- I just laughed at him all night :) At first he couldnt stop waving and trying to figure out the new "PAW" he had covering his hand. It was very entertaining. He looks SO CUTE!

Before we left for the party I layed down the ground rules:

1. Mom gets all the Snickers candies and anything else she deems worthy to eat out of Paiges candy bucket.

Paige wasnt so sure that was a good plan :)

Mason and I sat in our trunk and handed out candy to about 500 kids :)

We had THRILLER blasting out of our trunk and Mason and I just had a dance party with ourselves:) I didnt know he could head bob so well . haha.

All the neighbor kids together.

His first sucker...he would have swallowed it if id let him.

Were ready for Halloween now.....bring on more SNICKERS!
