April 29th IPod Games

 Grandma Carol, Grandpa Dave, and Daravia came over for supper

Monday to celebrate Natalie being done with classes until August.

Ray has loaded some apps for Mason like "Bob the Builder".

 He was pretty geeked on the truck matching and puzzles to put together.

There was also one where he rubbed his finger against the trucks

and it washes the dirt off of them.

Our goofy IPod eyes shows us his games.

April 22nd Back to the Park Finally

Finally good enough weather to go to the park in Allendale with our

"Outside (Grave) Digger" Monster Truck - Mason loves running it down the slides

 Mason just ran around the park and slides like a crazy man

 Driving his race car - grandpa has to add the bumps and motion

 Mason is a pro going down the biggest spiral slide

 Mason does not fit real well in the swings for the smaller kids anymore -

we also tried the single strap seats and he did fine at a slower speed

 Mason climbs a lot more than last year

 Mason is ready to race

Only saw one duck to feed bread and he was too far off to realize we had food - no blue gills yet must be too cold for them  - still it was a beautiful day

Something followed us home today.

It is a camper. 

It even expands

Two doors, full length canopy, not perfect but everything works. Most importantly it will be a lot of fun and comfy for our family. 

That bed is also a couch, Mason had to try it out.  However he did not stand still long enough to photograph him in the camper.

The couch before Mason transformed it

Queen bed up front

Full kitchen, no dishwasher but that's what husbands are for.

Mason wanted to camp in the yard tonight

Mom said "no camping in the front yard."

Mason and Dad were kind of bummed.

March 30th Easter at Grandma's

 Mason is getting revved up for Easter with the Lightning McQueen

and 'Mator Candy fans

 OK.  Where did Auntie Ray hide those eggs?

 Mason's got loot!  And there's stuff inside the 'Mator and Thomas the Train

containers, too!

 Legos inside the 'Mator container - the poor chicken that had to pass them!

 Mason helping Auntie Sophie find one of her eggs in the snow.

 Daravia and Sophelia negotiate over finding each other's prizes while Mason checks out what

is under the concrete blocks.

March 23rd Macy Kisses and Garage Playtime

Miss Julie brought Macy over to Grandma Carol's house and the puppy just loved Mason.

 

 Doggie kisses tickle!

 Grandma set up the garage for Mason's tricycle.  He hits the plastic

golf balls into the garage drain hole and uses the trike as his golf cart.

Grandma also made him some mud for his monster trucks out of potting soil

and water.  Anything to get dirty..........

 Gotta make sure the lights are working.

Mason in snow saucer with good attitude.  This looks like it could be fun.

Do it again, grandpa!
