Whipped cream birthday cake at Grandma Budde's
It was a fun new experience, he got more on the floor and on himself than he did in his mouth
Grandma Budde gave Mason a brand new wagon for his first birthday
And some new mittens
We were trying to sort out some of the toys Mason does not play with anymore but he decided to start swimming in the pile and thwarted our efforts
Mason and Mom goofing around
Mason and his beloved Skunk, he wore that hat all night
A ride in the laundry basket
Nothing better than a ride in the basement, in the wagon, with his hat, life is good
He loves to ride, and point
Mom and Dad gave Mason a mini radio flyer that he can push pull or ride, he chose to climb on it
But he loves it, BBRRROOOOMMMM
Dad made Mason a wagon from the wagon he had as a kid, it is custom of course and is not quite finished but it was ready for rides in the driveway after removing the snow the blizzard left behind, Mason was thrilled
Something tells me Dad loves it as much as Mason
New shoes from Grandma Carol, his first official pair of shoes
Again playing in the ottoman
He was giving Mom a rough time during laundry so she filled his pants with socks, he didn't mind at all
He got Grandpa Armstrong's watch and had to try it on
A ride on the race car from Great Grandma Armstrong
He is very cautious with gifts, not quite sure if he should be ripping the paper or not
A great view of the bottom, of his new shoes
A new monster truck from Uncle Josh and Trisha
All smiles for Uncle Adam and Aunt Lorie, and their gift too of course
Nice hungry caterpillar, thank you Krafts
Little stink
On the run
We tell people he is a little monster they never believe us. Here is our picture proof, the real monster in him comes out at night causing the whole family many sleepless hours.
Checking out the hotel bed, so much fun
Looks ready to defend his territory. I think he likes the bed and knows he will not be sleeping in it. 
First trip to Uncle Randy's shop, All About Mowers
All mowers and equipment could have been marked inspected by Mason by the time we left. (also by Dad)
Pausing for a little bit of business
Even though he had the whole mower shop to check out he was still excited when he saw his wagon there every day.
A cool hat from Uncle Randy
Checking out every tire.
Driving the big tractor
Mason met a new friend, the shop cat named Mower, he really liked Mower.
Sitting on the backhoe
Grandma, Mason, Mower, and Uncle Randy, quite the quartet
Oh man it was so exciting, everything had wheels
Reading up on the Stihl equipment
Checking the deck wheels
I think he has got the hang of it, just waiting for someone to start it for him.
Not one bolt unnoticed
Swimming at the hotel, pictures got a little foggy
He loves the water
Did we mention that Mason loved Mower? Mower was very tolerant of Mason
The wagon fit right in at the shop, but did not look very big in comparison to some of the equipment, maybe some bigger tires are in order?
I think he is ready to start mowing, sitting still has its limits
Went through all the brands of mowers, each had their fun features
Tried out safety equipment as well
A mower shop creation, picture dedicated to Uncle Randy and Hank
What a great week in Macomb, many thanks to Great Grandma Donna, Uncle Randy, Aunt Janice, and of course Mower the cat.
