These were taken by the talented Lindsay Brummer. She is in our ward and so kindly offered to take pictures of Mason for us. And boy, am I glad she did! I love every single one of them!! This is just a little cake I made...ANOTHER girl in my ward, Mandy Powell, makes cakes and offered to help me make Mason's cake for his birthday party!(OK, so she really just made it while I watched :)) That will be in the next post...

6/2/2012 - 6/10/2012
Family trip to Utah for Mommy and Daddy's Marathon
Since Mason was almost 1yr, we put him forward facing for this trip and he just thought it was the coolest thing ever for like 3 weeks! It's not as exciting now but oh man...it was like a roller coaster ride for him!
We started our trip with staying in Park City, UT. We enjoyed a couple of bike rides...
On this bike ride, we rode to downtown Park City for dinner at a little pizza and taco place called Davanza. We actually ate here a couple of times because the price was so reasonable :)

We always have to get ice-cream at Java Cow or Moo's in Downtown Park City

We got all dressed up to go to church but couldn't find the ward building :( It still felt good to be in church attire on Sunday and at least we tried!

This was when we had made a trip to Salt Lake City to see what City Creek was all about. Mason's favorite part was the splash pad area :) I can't wait for him to walk so that he can run around in it.

We met my parents at Firehouse subs in Salt Lake City after City Creek.

After Park City, we stayed with my sister n'law at her parent's home in Pleasant Grove, UT. This is Mason's cousin Sadelle...she had so much fun playing with him :)

Utah Valley Marathon 2012
(Our brother in-law, Austin, ran it with us)


So while we were running our marathon, My Brother and Dad were doing a bike race in northern Utah. This was a fundraiser race for a cure for diabetes. My brother's lil girl, Roxie, was diagnosed with diabetes when she was 15 months old. This is him riding in with her!
 This is my Dad, My brother Spencer, holding Roxie, and Spencer's Father in-law

They were the "Roxie's Riders"
This is my nephew Ethan, Spencer's oldest

Drive home - stopping at the Glen Canyon/Rainbow bridge :)

So Mason has really enjoyed swimming this summer! We got a season pass to a water park along with my sisters and mom. So we've had a lot of fun going every so often!
 

He's also enjoyed some night swimming with his cousin Cooper!
This was the night before Mason's bday...we were putting up flags over the pool for his pool party :)
