Its been awhile since I posted because we have not had our computer up and running until recently. I also didn't have much to talk about so here is a little update. We did move to American Fork so I could be a manager for some storage units. The job works out great for us because I can work with Mason from home and help pay for some of lifes expences. Parker still hasn't found a job yet besides here and there jobs. He still manages to make some pretty good money though. I got another part time job working for Modbod. They are just weekly roadshows in different Costcos where I get to pick the times I work and get a couple of free shirts here and there and some good discounts. I enjoy it because it does give me something else to do. So far we like it here. Mason is growing up so fast and is becoming a lot better with his speech. Everyday he says new words. He also learned how to crawl out of his crib so we have been challenged with trying to get him asleep in a toddler bed. Overall he has been good so I cant complain. I do find him sometimes in the middle of the night randomy on the floor! Yesterday at church he was the cutest little thing! He has learned to participate in prayers by kneeling, bowing his head, and kind of closing his eyes! I am so impressed with how well behaved he is. During the sacrament hymms he kept wanting to hold his own hymm book and sit in his own chair. While the congregation was singing he was trying to too! I wish I could have recorded it because he was practically trying to serenade to the lady next to us! He was so loud, but too cute to get mad at because he was just trying to do what everyone else was. Anyways thats about it for the update!
Fathers Day-
So this year for fathers day we made a last minute trip to Idaho Falls. We really enjoyed going home for the holiday to see the special fathers in ourl lives. Parker had not been to Idaho since Christmas and still had not seen his families new home. The trip was short but it was still lots of fun. For Fathers day Parker chose to go golfing instead of recieving a present but Mason still got his Daddy his favorite candy and a book called Day out with Daddy to read together. He also was lucky to get a big delicious steak to eat for dinner. Parker is such a good father to Mason. Mason cant get enough of his Daddy, he is so much like him, especially his little smirks and funny faces! We love Daddy so much and are very grateful for him! We love both of our fathers too. Grandpa Anderson is such an amazing person. We look up to him so much. He is the kindest and most considerate person. We know we can always come to him in anytime of need. Dad is the perfect example of a father. He loves his wife so much and treats her like the world. He loves his kids and the gospel and through his daily choices we see a great example of a father. Jace is also a very good father. Although I know he wishes he could do more he is always there for us. Parker and him have a very good relationship and gives excellent advice to his son. He is a very good listener through our tribulations. We know he is always there to talk even if its in the wee hours of the morning!
While Parker was golfing, Aunt Kellie, Grandma, and Mom went to the Greenbelt for Mason's first adventure of feeding the ducks. Wow, those geese were hungry! They were hissing at us and were chasing after us! Mason loved it. He kept trying to pet them, but they were so mean. He was just about the same height as them and I would give him a piece of bread but he would not throw it fast enough. Anyways one goose just went up and bit his hand! Mason didn't care but I ran over and picked him up and wouldn't let him back down in fear they might trample him! He kept crying wanting down, poor little fella, hopefully next time they wont be monsters!
We also experienced Mason's first campfire. It was so fun to see him with so much excitement in his eyes. He is such a cutie! And he takes after his Mommy and absolutely loves smores!!
He is also the most awful kid to try to take pictures of! He is just going and going and will never stop to look at the camera. Hopefully sometime I can get a decent picture of him!
