Great Grandparents

Mason got to chill with Great Grandma and Grandpa Woodman at over dinner at Grammy and Papa's house tonight. I always treasure the time he's able to spend with them!

Hanging out

Here's what Mason's been up to this week in Colorado...

Literally hanging from the doorknob while playing with his Uncle Clint -- but, Clint should have tried this trick a little bit sooner. He's a smidge too tall.



Entertaining himself in the backyard while Mommy works. We were outside all morning on Friday and he had a blast playing with his cars, running around in the grass and playing in his pool.



Playing a little ball with Papa.





Catching another rolly-poly bug for his bug box.



A quick snuggle with Auntie Meg.




Meeting the blue bear at the Denver Convention Center.

When in Rome...

Since we've been in the Mile High City for the entirety of the Western Conference finals (shown here at a more toddler-friendly hour of 7 p.m.!), Mason has gotten quite into the Nuggets run. Naturally, he had to gear up for last night's (disappointing) Game 5 with a new T-shirt and hat...



Here's hoping for better luck tomorrow.

Playtime

One of Mason's favorite haunts is Chuck E. Cheese. Mommy and Dad-O can only take a visit there oh-so-often, but had promised him a visit to a "Colorado" Chuck E. Cheese for a long time. We trekked there today to meet Grandma Alize, and cousins Eli and Asani.

Much fun ensued...







In Mason's words, the Colorado Chuck E. Cheese was "more awesome than the one at home because it had like a million more games." In Mommy's, it was "more awesome because it was bigger and less crowded!"

Check Me Out

We took a trip to Murdoch's today to properly outfit the Mason-man in western attire. It actually started out as a trip for new cowboy boots, as his are getting too small, but turned into a whole new outfit...and a toy to boot!

Grammy, Uncle Kenneth, Aunt Patty and Mommy had way too much fun outfitting Mason in the middle of the store.

Then, we just set him right up on the counter and let the sales clerk scan him from head to toe.

May Flowers

Grammy's favorite day of the year is the day she gets to plant all her annuals, and luckily Mason and I were there to partake in the activity this year.

We got up early Saturday morning to prep the soil.



Then, it was off to the garden center, where Macey helped Grammy pick out all the flowers she needed to fill her deck boxes and planters as well as finding a couple of nice hanging baskets. He was particularly fond of the deer-resistant varieties of plants, despite the fact that Grammy and Papa don't have a deer problem in their backyard.

After we had all our flowers back at Grammy's house, Mason helped Grammy cart all the plants into the backyard with his wagon.



Then we got to work. Mommy and Grammy filled up the planters, and Mason watered them in.





When we were all done...we watered Mason down. He was particularly dirty, but it was lots of fun and here are the smiles to prove it.

Ouch!

A rite of passage, I suppose, here's Mason's first fat lip, picked up while playing with his uncles last night. Not quite sure what happened, except that Mason got in a fight with a metal trash can and the trash can won...

It didn't look too bad when he went to bed, but it swelled up overnight!
