Better late than never, right??

I have been a huge slacker lately, and totally neglected the blog. I had a ton of stuff from the last month and a half that needed to be posted. Today I finally sat down at the computer determined to catch up. I think I'm finally finished. Enjoy! Sorry it took so long.

Mason's 8th Birthday!!


Mason turned eight years old on the 27th of October. Where does the time go???? He had a great birthday, and he got to celebrate it with both sets of his grandparents there, which made it even better.



Jordan's mom made this awesome cake! Thanks Mom!

Mason's Baptism



Grandma and Grandpa Bryson came all the way from Utah to be there for Mason's baptism. It was so nice to have them there. Grandpa was the one that did the confirmation after the baptism. That was really special for both of them.

On October 31st, my sweet little boy (who is not so little anymore) was baptized. I was excited that he got to be baptized on Halloween, because that is the same day I was baptized many, many years ago. It was a great day, and I am so proud of Mason for the choice he made to be baptized. He is such a sweet boy, who always strives to do what it right, and we are so proud of him. Love you, Mason.

Halloween

Here are some of our Halloween pictures. Mason and Miles decided a whole year ago that they wanted to be Mario and Luigi for Halloween, and they were very determined to make it happen. Grandma Miller searched second hand stores all year long to find the right things for the costumes, and she found all the right stuff! They were so excited about how their Mario Brother's costumes turned out.





Vance was a very cute Bob the Buidler

Jordan had to work, so I took the boys out with Grandma and Grandpa Bryson. After a while, the Mario Brother's declared they were tired and wanted to go home, but Bob the Builder still wanted to collect candy. So Mason and Miles went home with Grandpa, and my mom and I got to take Vance around. It was nice to have that time with him. He kept going strong for a long time!

Daddy's Little Helper

I think that Vance is going to be a very handy man, just like is dad. Whenever Jordan has to fix something around the house, Vance is right there, waiting to help (usually with a toy tool in hand). Here he is, being Daddy's helper while Dad fixes a car. Way to go, Vance! :)

Poor Bambi

Last year, Jordan took up bow hunting, and ending up getting only one small doe. He had bigger goals this year, and ending up getting this big boy. It is a 155 pound, eight point buck. Our freezer is now very well stocked!
