Makayla is 1!

Makayla turned 1 on Feb. 6, 2010. We had her party at our house with family and friends. She loved digging into her presents and cake.

The great hunter

This is Travis's deer that he got this year. He got it in October when he went with his dad and brother. He's pretty proud of it.


(He looks real happy in the pic, dosen't he)
He never looks real thrilled in pictures

My birthday boy

Mason Alexander Tanz

8 lbs, 2 oz. 20 3/4 inches

Now my little 3-year-old!

I just wanted to take a moment and say how precious my son is. We have been so blessed to have this perfect little boy in our lives. He is so wanted and loved and I am grateful for every moment with him.

Happy Birthday Mason, mommy and daddy love you!

Fall/pumpkins

This past weekend we were able to go to Riverton to visit family and friends. Of course we had to go to the pumpkin patch. It was so windy that Travis stayed in the car with Makayla, and the rest of us went to pick out pumpkins. Mason had a great time, of course.

It's been awhile

We have had a busy few months. I just haven't made the time to post much. Makayla started crawling in September, she is now almost 9 months old, I can't believe it. Mason's 3rd birthday will be here on Sunday, I can't believe that either! Time is going to fast. This year we grew a lot of awesome tomatoes. We had peas and lettuce in June. Carrots and yellow squash did good in Aug/Sep. Our corn was mostly eaten by grasshoppers, we did eat about 3 ears, they didn't grow very big, but were pretty good.

Little Red

At Makayla's 6 month check up she weighed 17 pounds and was 27 1/2 inches long. She is sitting up by herself now and scooting everywhere.

Keeping busy

She had a black eye in this picture, don't think you can see it. Mason threw a toy at her.

At the park.

He was kissing her belly and making her laugh.

Her first bite of cereal. She didn't know what to think at first.

It seems like this summer is just flying by! Another month has gone by and I haven't posted much. Maybe it's because not much exciting things go on here, just normal, everyday life. We have gone to the park a lot for Mason to play. Also to the carnival for rides and the fair. And Mason really enjoyed the fireworks for the Fourth. Makayla is now 6 months old. We go in Wednesday for her check-up. She will be crawling very soon, I think. She gets up on her knees and hands, just hasn't taken off yet. She's been on cereal and baby food for two months now, she likes that.Thats been it so far this summer, who knows if we will get out fishing or camping again this year. Travis is, of course, ready for hunting season.
