Huckleberry jam

Gramzi (Travis' mom) made us a few jars of huckleberry jam. Mason devoured it!! He absolutely loved it!!

Sunday best

I love dressing mason for church on Sunday! Ha he is such a stud!



A little blurry. He is a mover!

Blonde is back

I highlighted my hair from when I was 16 to about 21. Travis didn't want to spend the money ( and my awesome cousin Anna moved :(. ) so I dyed it back to my natural color. I've been itching for a change (and didn't want to chop it off) so I went back. Travis even let me use some of his graduation money! My friend crystal did it and I love it! 

Hiking backpack

I have been obsessed with finding a new carrier for mason. The eurgo was so good to us but reality: mason is growing up! So I've been on the search so I didn't have to spend $$. I finally found one on Craigslist in our price range jumped on it. Come to find out it was my good friend Laurie selling hers! Silly. Anyways I love it and it is perfect whether or not I'm hiking a mountain or just containing the beast! It's a Kellty kids carrier. It comes with a sun/rain shield and a backpack. It also stand on its own when its off your shoulders. 
Mason looks less than thrilled because it means he doesn't get to run in the mud anymore! (I let him do plenty of that before he went in!)

Klemgard park

Out of town a little is a beautiful park. We had our wars party their last weekend. Mason got very dirty. I loved hanging out with my friends!!
Before
After!

Exhausted!!


Last day of the Dino's

Since Travis hasn't found a week day job he still gets to spend time with mason! So we pulled him from my work on Wednesdays. It will be an extra $150 in our pocket so we are happy about that. But I'm going to miss having him around (especially since I'm teaching his class over the summer). But I took these cute pics one his last lunch break with me. He is such a little explorer and can't believe he can do it all on his own.

Nap time with bandit

Bandit was taking a nap and mason decided to join him!

Too cool baby vans

My family bought mason these vans for the Christmas before he was born. I've been waiting so long for them to fit. They are so stinking cute. Baby vans for the win!

Trailer camping with grandma and grandpa

We went "trailer camping" with Travis' parents. It was awesome. We can't wait to have trailer someday. Everyone in Travis' family has them and whenever they can we all get together at a fancy park. We went up to Spokane/Coeur d Alene after work on Friday to spend the weekend. It was Travis' great uncle Ed's 80th bday party. 
I didn't take really any pictures except mason eating this cookie... Or 5. Grandma and grandpa always mean treats!!



At the end he was exhausted!!

Memorial Day weekend

This Memorial Day was so special. We went around to all of Travis' deceased relatives graves that are in the area and left pinwheels. It is pretty cool because the Halseth side is mostly all burries in the same cemetery. Bethany cemetery on big bear ridge. It was the first time we saw grandpas headstone too. It was special too because mason saw grandpa Orville's picture and shouted "grandpa!!'' We don't want him to forget.  
I love my boys!!

Travis and mason. 

The headstone is perfect and shows the ranch and the jeep he loved so much

Mason was so good at all the sites. 

Courtney rocks

In middle school I had quite the confidence. I was always writing Courtney Reid (who rocks) all over things. I was in 7 or 8 grade shop and made this sign. It was in my room for a few years. My dad found it in the garage. And sent a picture of it to me. Oh what I wouldn't do for some of that confidence now! Funny how you couldn't  care less about what people think of you when you are younger. 

Silly mason

Silly boy played with the dog bowls as a hat. I love that his personality is really starting to come out. He is a goof!


Boy and me

This boy loves his dad. Travis hasn't found another job but he is enjoying taking care of mason. And he is so good at it. I am so glad they have such a good bond. They melt me!

General cuteness

Whoever said dressing boys isn't fun isn't doing it right. Ha ha. I love dressing mason up for the day and most of time he is better dressed than I am ha ha. I loved this outfit and his matching MJ shoes!
