The power of prayer!

Since the day I was born, Mommy and Daddy have been reciting the same prayer that Daddy's parents said to him as a boy. I have finally memorized the WHOLE THING!


"God Bless Me, make me a good boy. God Bless Mommy, Daddy, Mason and Baby/Babies. Watch over me, tonight, and always. Amen."


Mom and Dad are SO PROUD of me!

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!

We had a really fun week! Mom and Dad celebrated their 4 year anniversary. Daddy surprised Mommy by getting Gma and Gpa Mauch to babysit, taking mommy to a fancy dinner and movie, spending the night at the Hotel Donaldson, and then getting a couples massage the next morning! Mommy was so surprised and really excited for her "babymoon." I'm so lucky to have such an amazing Daddy!

What?? Mom and Dad have been married for 4 years??

Yay!

After their couples massage, Mommy and Daddy drove out to Gma and Gpa's lake cabin to pick me up - and we decided to spend the night! I had SO MUCH FUN!



Playing in the "net" (hammock) at the lake! I can't wait until summer!



Grandpa is so strong! He let me swing in the swing!


so fun!


With everything at the lake cabin, I thought playing with grandpa in the closet was the most fun!!
Thanks for taking care of me Grandma and Grandpa!

Christmas Day

Oops, the pictures are in reverse order!

Camera from Uncle Ben and Aunt Beth! I love it! This is so nice since I just broke mom's camera!

Baseballs to go with my glove, grandma.

LOVING SANTA


smiling "pretty" for the camera!



I loved sitting on Santa's lap!



Santa came knocking on the window...and he pulled me right outside! He brought me back through the front door!


During the Nativity Play...the Kings bowing before me :)
(I am baby Jesus in this scene)


I think Gma Kathy (the Director) is laughing because she doesn't know if I am Baby Jesus, a cow, an angel, or a 70's disco queen.



Baby Jesus is so strong...he tipped the manger over!


Listening to Gabriel


My sweet outfit for the play! Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve in Hatton with Grandma Violet (Walsvik). Sadly, it was our last Christmas at the farm because Grandma is moving to Fargo next fall! We are excited to have her so much closer, but so sad that we will not be able to have any more Christmas Eve celebrations at the farm. It was a great day!!

Uncle Matt is telling the photographer something inappropriate!!

Even with all our new toys, a matress on the basement floor is still THE MOST FUN!
