September Happenings

September blew by so quickly and we can't believe it's already October.  We're not sure if we're ready for colder weather around here, but we're excited to see what October has to bring.

Here are a few of the small (that didn't already get blogged about) things we did during the month of September.

1. We had to say good-buy to our summer/fall flowers.  Our hanging baskets, potted plants, and planted flowers turned out so pretty this year, I'm so sad for this time of year when it's time to throw them away.

I love the little yellow flowers on this one, they just started popping out recently.  We didn't even get to enjoy those little yellow flowers for very long. 

2.  We've been having way too much fun around here with Mason's birthday train.  Mason loves Casey to push him on his birthday train up and down the hallway.  I love to hear our little guy laugh while Casey pushes him!  It's fun to watch Casey too, he's pretty worn out by about the third or fourth round but he keeps going because our little Mason loves it so much!

3.  We spent a Saturday night down at the Riverwoods with Ry, Meg, Mabel, Mom, Dad, Daniel, Stacy, Canyon, and Oakley.  We went to dinner at Bajio then we went over to the Provo Beach Resort to play a few games.  Because of the Ute vs. BYU game the Provo Beach Resort was closed so we ended up going to Blikenstaff's instead.  We had fun playing with all the trinkets and toys, Mason got the biggest laughs from the Jack-in-the-Box.

4.  I finished Project Life!    I have enjoyed putting this picture a day scrapbook together for the past year and I finished it this month.  I started it on the day Mason was born and ended on the day of Mason's first birthday.  It's been so fun to look back on all the things we've and all that has happened over the past year.  I'm definitely starting a new one for 2014.
 

5.  Found Mason sleeping like this...

6.  Mason never falls asleep in my arms anymore:(, but this day...it was cold...it was rainy...and this little guy needed someone to cuddle up to.

7. We gave Mason his first taste of whole milk, he loves it!  We stopped buying formula for this little guy in September and he is down to only one bottle a day.  I didn't think I'd be sad, but I am.

8.  Took Mason to the car wash where he cried the entire time, but as soon as we got to where we would vacuum out our car he calmed right down.  This child is scared of most unusual loud noises, except for vacuums.

9.  Mason's taken lots of baths around here, I just love a clean baby!  He loves to just sit in the tub and chew on his wash cloth.  We know when he is ready to get out, because he has learned how to pull himself up to standing while he is in the tub.

10.  During the month of September Mason also learned to crawl up onto the fireplace. 

Good-bye September...Hello October!
