Tickle Torture!

Ahhhh! One of the best perks of having kids is having all the tickle torture transferred from me to the kids! Luckily, Cole and Mason LOVE being tickled.

Mason's 1st Birthday!

Happy Birthday Mason!! Since we spent most of Mason's special day driving, we had a little celebration a day late. Just a small party with the boys and some cake. Mason was very dainty about the whole cake-eating process at first, but he soon discovered the joy of grabbing handfuls and stuffing them in his mouth, and when he got tired of that the handfuls started going over the edge of the highchair with a delighted exclaimation of his first and favorite word...
