{Hair Cut}

This is of Mason's first hair cut right before we moved... two weeks ago he needed another so I went to cut it however this time he was extra interested in the scissors so out the buzzers came:)

Muller Park

We had an FSA (families supporting adoption confernce a few wks ago in Layton so we stayed with my sister Jamie. Saturday after the conference we headed up to Muller Park in Bountiful where we all the time as kids. It was so fun to see it again, it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL up there. Seriously it was neat and just confirmed yet again a huge reason for moving home: mtns & family!

It wasn't all bliss.. ha ha. We (i saw WE nicely because it all reality it was SETH:) bought the wrong kind of coals (who knew there was different kinds, so we couldn't blame him too much) the were the ceramic kind for BBQ's. whatever. So basically 4 yrs and a fire later we ate. Needless to say we were all starving!!! I guess that just made it funnier, that and the fact that we 'borrowed' someone's table:) Thanks the the laughs my sister, I woudn't have traded it for a dinner at the steak house.. oh wait...

So this was so funny, we took the camera out to get a family pictures and mya walked right over to ours... it was just like it was natural for her. it was so funny! of course i always explain to jam that mya is really ours and just came the wrong belly:)

Dedicated to my awsome model brother-in-law! Love him
he's all yours jam:) ha ha

Okay, okay! Here's the picture update-

I was about to be disowned if I didn't update with pictures (ha ha) so here is our summer in a few quick photo's. I didn't have time to post them all or do major editing (so pls bare with me). Summer is the time when you have the funnest things to update about but absolutely no time to do so:) But one certain sis was threating me (ha ha) so here's the update- should be our move til now and all that somewhat happened inbetween.. EnJOY

-Oh the house inspection didn't go as well as we were hoping. We're now back at square one: Yippee! NOT

THE MOVE

It was crazy, sad, full of excitment & alot of hard work all at the same time. We're so grateful for all of the priesthood who showed up to help us load the truck and CL (Seth's pops) for making the trip to drive the truck home with Seth. We couldn't have done it without all of the help from friends- We already miss you SAN PEDRO:)

Our amazing home for 4 yrs!

Farewell Lunch w/my ladies!

My good friend Ivy threw me a little going away lunch with my good friends. It so fun and also so sad! It hit me when I got home later that day of just how good of friends I was leaving. I LOVE YOU GIRLS! They were all an amazing piece in my life there, they got me through some pretty rough times, as well as had me laughing until I cried, went to story time on Tuesday's, had lunch dates @ Rex's and much more... for that I will be forever grateful:) Utah or Cali.. I know we'll always friends-

Good-bye kiss from his close buddy Ethan!

Family Photo By The Beach --last one:(

Right before we moved we decided to get a {Family Picture} on the beach.... I thought I would just bring my tripod and remote- HA... So not as easy as I thought to take your own family picture: #1 WIND #2 if i'm not behind the camera mase has no one to look at. Oh well at least we got two semi-decent ones:)

Happy 4th {Bear Lake}

The weekend we got here from Cali the {B} Family {Mason's birth-father's Fam, now their just: family:} invited us up to Bear Lake so we unpacked all of our stuff, then packed again and took off. It was such a fun and relaxing weekend. It was neat to be able to get to know them better and have mase spend time with them. They became family!

Grannie Annie brought mase and liddy matching shirts for the 4th!
