Mason the Menace

I am offically 18 months old! I had my 1/2 Birthday on Wednesday of this week - we had lots of fun. So I'm 1 1/2 and getting into more and more trouble everyday! My new favorite thing is to get into mommy's lap top computer and try to rip all of the keys out - NOT GOOD. Mom and dad had to spend hours trying to put them back in! Mommy now calls me "Mason the Menace"!!

I got into Daddy's lunch cupboard and found some Pringles...I contintued to dump them all over the living room floor and crunch them with my huge feet! And I did all of this while Mommy was putting laundry away!

I also like to pray all the time now - we pray at least 5 times during breakfast, lunch and dinner!

I like to put the blanket over my head and mommy always says that I'm her "little sheppard"!

I LOVE to give mommy kisses!

Having fun with Mommy!

My ladyfriend Grace Anderson and I got together one day - our Mommy's went for a long bike ride and we got to sit in Grace's bike trailer! I LOVED IT! We were going so fast! This picture was taken right after I gave Grace a HUGE KISS - but shhhhhhh...don't tell her Daddy!

I also have an obsession with my baby wipes right now...Mommy has to put them on top of the changing table so I can't get at them in the drawers...but this day Mommy heard something and walked into my room...and I had CLIMBED up onto my changing table! She has no idea how I did...and I'm not going to tell her either!

Grandma Day Finale

On Grandpa Randy's 59th Birthday - we had our Grandma Day Finale! My grandma Kathy was so awesome - she made a huge waterpark and carnival for us at her house! There was the pool with a slide, a ton of water relays/games, and some fun water toys to play with! On Tuesday I also got my 2nd professional hair cut - I was a little scared at first...but after I grapped a couple combs from the hair dresser (and she put Elmo on TV!) I warmed right up!

Just watching Elmo's World while waiting to get my hair cut!

I'm already looking pretty awesome!


Almost done!

Grandma Kathy had signs by each of the activities at the carnival - this was by "my" pool!

(It says "Masonator Pool")

Here is a picture of half of the Carnival - but the photo's just do not do it justice!

Hanging out on the slip-n-slide - I really enjoyed playing on this!

My cousins helping me down the slide in the pool!

Grandma's GENIUS water toys...

Grandpa Randy finally showed up! I todl him that he shouldn't be working on his 59th Birthday! I love him so much!

Once it started to rain out we went inside and I watched a movie with Brooklyn and Braya.

Mom caught me snuggling with Bray Bray!

My new thing is crawling in all of my toy bins...and sometimes I get stuck and mommy has to help me get out!

Little Monster...Big Trouble

I have two really funny stories to tell.

First, Mom was doing laundry one day and I was playing. Since I knew she was in the laundry room, I decided to climb up all of the drawers in the kitchen (they were childproofed, but I still figured out how to climb up them) and I got into the very top drawer. There I found a set of knives in a box from when my mom and dad got married - Mom didn't even know they were in there because they were wwwaaaayyy in the back behind the silverware organizer. Mom came to check on me because she couldn't hear me and when you can't hear me, that means I'm getting into trouble. She walked into the kitchen, and there I was, sitting on the floor play with KNIVES. Her heart dropped, and she tried to grab my wrists so I couldn't hurt myself with the knives. I then turned to run away, and I CUT HER in the finger! Dad had to come home because Mommy couldn't get the bleeding to stop...but finally after about 40 minutes the bleeding stopped. Mom couldn't believe how scary the situation could have been - but I didn't care, I'm a tough guy.

Then, that same day, when my mommy wasn't looking, I walked into the dining room and pulled down the runner she has on the kitchen table. She should have known better than to put a beautiful vase full of flowers on the table, along with her lap top computer. When I pulled on the runner, the lap top came tumbling down - and so did the vase full of beautiful flowers (from daddy!) The vase shattered all over mom's computer and the floor. Good thing mom was turning the corner right when it happend so she could grab me before I walked on the glass. Mom said that she didn't know I could be so naughty...and I'm not even 18 months!!

Relaxing with Daddy after being a naughty boy that day!

Last week it was so hot, so we went to the lake with Mom's friend Ashley and my lady friend, Grace. Grace's older brother, Logan, came too! Here Grace and I are riding on her water toy...She loved it but I was REALLY scared and wanted to get off right away!

Ashley helped me not be so scared anymore!

This was the day before the "pulling down of the runner" incident - look at mom's beautiful flowers! (behind the laundry basket!)

Redhawks game

On Sunday we got to go to the Redhawks game in Fargo. My Daddy's (& Grandpa's & Uncle's) insurance company paid for the Mauch family to have a box/suite at the game - it was unbelievable! We had our own air conditioned room to sit in - and a bunch of seats right outside! We ordered ANY kind of food we wanted...some of my crazy cousins even ordered one of everything! My cousin Kya even took 3 ice cream bars for dessert!

Jazzy and I having a conversation about how awesome the suite was!

Instead of watching the game, I RAN RAN RAN...that is all I do!


Here I am watching the game in our box of seats with the boys...This is the life!

Mom! Look at me! This is so cool!

Hawkeye even came up to our Suite to meet my cousins and myself...I really didn't know what to think of him at first...

I don't know about this...

BAM! Take that Hawkeye, I punched you!
Mom said that wasn't very nice, so I said I was sorry and gave him a high five!

Trying to pose for a picture with Hawkeye and his ladyfriend, Scarlet.

My favorite spot to get away from my cousins!

My Family at the game.

Fun with the Boys!

On Friday night Mom and Dad had some of Dad's friends over for supper and it was so much fun! Dad's friends are really silly...they talk about the craziest things! They really got a kick out of me...especially when I put Gabe's cowboy boots on!

I can walk pretty slick in these boots!

Oh No...its getting hard to walk! Look at Gabe laughing at me!

Thanks for saving me Daddy!

Here are all the boys on "boys night"...Scoop, Twan, Daddy & I, Kluge and Gabe!

Getting into EVERYTHING!!!!

Mommy says that I have been a major "stinker butt" lately...I am getting into everything! But other than making messes, we have been keeping pretty busy...lots of running around!

Mom left me alone for 8 minutes..and I found DIRT. Mom cleaned up all the dirt on the TV, behind the TV and in the blankets/pillows before she realized that she hadn't taken a picture yet...so here is some of the mess that I made!

Chillin' with Uncle Matt

I LOVE Mommy's treadmill - Dad helps me run on it everyday! He thinks it wears me out!

Great-Grandma Dorris drove her golf cart all the way to my grandma and grandpa's house for "Grandma Day". She gave 9 of us a ride on her golf cart! so fun!

Daddy's eating my fist! ahhh!

Daddy and I with Ben and Brody a.k.a. The Brodster!

Walking to get some root beer floats! yum!

Here we are on a hay ride at Kindred Days...

Braya, Brooklyn, Ben, Daddy and I!

Yep..I love getting into EVERYTHING...everyday I try to get into mommy's purse. Today I was successful...I even stole her credit card and a $20!

Dad showed me a cool way to eat pudding so you don't have to load the dishwasher...Mommy thinks this is the silliest thing she has ever seen!

Daddy and I on the treadmill!
