Mason's Blessing

While we were in Seattle for Spring Break we had Mason's Blessing. Babies are blessed in the Mormon church when they are babies. They wear white and are given a name and a blessing for their life. The blessings are given by a worthy priesthood holder. Learn more here. Since Mason is named after my dad he gave the blessing. Travis, Nayt and my grandpa were also in the circle.

Four Generations, my side

It was a great event and I felt so loved and blessed that so many friends and family members came. My Aunt Susan and Uncle Gary came. My Aunt Shari and Uncle Dale came. My cousins Geoff, Jess, Gordon, Catherine, Gaitlin and Grant were there. And our family friends the Roes too.

Mason Scott meets grandpa Scott

Mason's middle name is named after my dad. I was shocked when my dad wanted to hold him and evn more when he wouldn't give him up! I love my dad and can't wait for mason to love his grandpa

Mattoons love Casa

Our favorite restaurant in the Pullman/Moscow area is Casa Lopez. We eat there whenever we get the chance. We mostly celebrate birthdays there. So between our good group of friends we can go for 6 birthdays! One thing they do for your bday is sing to you while you where a sombrero. Ashley let mason borrow it so we could document his first trip to Casa

Coach Travis.

Travis coached the 2nd and 3rd grade girls basketball team for Pullman parks and Rec. it was so fun to watch him work with the girls. It was out of his element for sure but I was proud of him. They had an excellent record and the team loved him! At the end of the season they gave him this framed team picture and one girl made him this little bball hoop complete with Pom Pom basketballs. So cute!

New couch

We got a new couch! A real adult couch. It's red leather! Travis' grandparents gave it to us! So we moved the futon into the baby room. I'm so excited. I think it is much more homey and not so bachelor pad. The futon was Travis old bed. And it is super comfy. Yay!

Spending time with daddy

Travis is always wanting to know when mason will talk, walk, catch, throw, basically take care of himself etc. I am perfectly content with him being my little peanut. But I sure love seeing Travis play and hold his son.

Cali Jenae Photography

If your are looking to capture your newborn's first moments, look no further than Cali jenae photography. Not only is Cali professional, she is also very personable and warm. My baby was kept safe and cared for throughout the session. Cali has an eye for detail and the patience to capture the perfect shot. After going to Cali I would not trust any other photographer because I know I wouldn't be satisfied. Cali is extremely flexible and considers your ideas and values your input. She delivered on so many levels. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Feel free to ask me any questions as well

Brothers and sister

Mason sure loves his brother and sister. Nala wants him to play with her and bandit just wants to cuddle. I can't wait for them to grow up together.

I love instagram

Instagram is a cool photo editing app for the iPhone and iPad. I love it. Here are some neat pics I've altered of my baby boy

Baby bright eyes

Masons eyes are still blue. They are so big and bright when he's awake it's the first thing that really stands out when you look at him. People are always saying things about his cute big eyes and how alert he is

Sleepy boy

Mason is an excellent sleeper. He sleeps a lot and usually sleeps in 3-4 hour stretches at night. Which is great for my recovery. Plus he's just so cute when he sleeps

First day of church.

We brought mason to church on Sunday and dressed him up in his best. It was a little big but he looked so handsome. His uncle chase bought him the tie for Christmas. And his aunts picked out the shirt.

Almost...

Almost caught Mason's smile. He's got a dimple just like his dad! We're going to be in big trouble!

Masons first snow

I was pissed it snowed again ( right after I wanted to swap out my spring clothes) but I was happy to get a picture of mason in the snow in Travis old snow suit. Travis was born in Alaska in January so he got a lot of use out of this snow suit. Mason hated the snow just like his mom! Good boy! Let move to Florida!

Trav can multitask

And mason is already getting exposed to sports and video games ha ha
