I joined a group out here where we swap layouts for our scrapbooks. It is a group of five (including yours truly) that get together once a month and swap layout. There are five different themes and we are suppose to make 5 kit to exchange (all the same) that goes with our theme. I figured I would start posting mine so that maybe some of you scrapbookers (you know who you are SHAREE) can steal my great layout ideas. Enjoy!!!!!
As you all know I am trying my hand at photography and wanted to share some recent pictures I have taken of Taylor. I am still trying to figure things out but I feel like my work has come along way since I started.
Zach has a pair of shoes that I think are the ugliest shoes ever but for some reason Mason loves them. He will pick them up and carry them around the house he has even tried to put them on. So for his bday his dad got him the cutest Air Jordans but Mason did not take to them. So I decided that I would buy him some that looked like his dads (his are much cuter, of course since I picked them out).I brought them home and when Mason saw them he got so excited and tried to put them on himself. He loves his shoe he looks at his feet when he walk which results in him falling down but he gets right back up.
As you all know we had a huge snow storm tonight, and I don't know about your kids but as soon as Taylor sees that it is snowing she wants to go out and play. When Zach finally got home from work he bundled Taylor up and let her come outside with him while he shoveled the driveway. Since Mason was already in bed I decided to take the opportunity and do a photo shoot of her playing in the snow. She wanted me to take a picture of the snow angel she made which I did but it is hard to see it in the picture. She had so much fun rolling around.
This was a great Halloween we decided to combine both Taylor's and Mason's birthday parties into one huge Halloween bash. There were games, food, and a lot of noise.
Mason had the stomach flu and we were afraid he wouldn't want his cake but we were so wrong. I kept his cake in the fridge until it was time for him to eat it and it was a good thing I did he pick up the entire cake. One Taylor's 1st birthday she was so careful not to get dirty. It is so funny how different they are.
Mason has grown so much in the last year!!! He can say mommy and has said daddy a couple times, still crawling but I am confident he will be walking by Thanksgiving. He is currently 23 lbs 30inches long and still only has a little hair. He is the happiest baby I have ever seen, always has a smile on him face and now that he has lost some weight you can see his adorable dimples.
When people would say that boys get in to things a lot more then little girl I would think to myself yea right. But let me tell you they were right!!!!! Mason is always on the go if it isn't crawling around chasing the cats he is getting in something he shouldn't be. In my opinion he is very smart just the other day he was trying to get a cup off the end table in our room and realized he couldn't reach it so he tipped over our bill folder to stand on top of it to get the cup.
Milestones

11 months old took his first step on September 27th of course it was for daddy and not me
favorite TV shows Higley Town Heroes, and Barney (Zach hates this one)
So Zach and I took the kids to the pumpkin patch here in Tooele, we have decided to make it a new family tradition. Taylor had so much fun, she had to look at every pumpkin to make sure she got the right one. When she finally spotted the one she wanted she grabbed the scissors cut it off the stem and then rolled it down the field. Of course Mason couldn't pick out his own so he got a little one (just like him).
After we were done picking out pumpkins we wait for the tractor to come and pick us up and take us back to the front. Riding in the tractor was Taylor's favorite part, I thought Mason was going to cry but he just looked at the man driving the tractor trying to figure it all out. When we left Taylor says "I want to go again" so I suppose we will have to do it one more time before Halloween comes!!!!
