Mommy loves Mason

I realize most people don't read blogs anymore. This is in some ways sad. Mostly because this has contributed to me not writing blog posts. Perhaps that is a time saver for me, but alas, I lose out on the fabulous stories and real time recordings of my amazing little ones. I can't believe this little guy is three already!


Mason is so hilarious lately. He comes up with funny sayings. Lincoln dropped a block last week. Mason says, "What de heck was that?" To which everyone erupted in laughter.

He also starts the answer to every question with, "I don't know," followed by his answer to the question. For example, I say, "Mason, what do you do with those great teeth?," to which he replies, "I don't know, I just ate popcorn."

He hates when it is too loud he will cover his ears and say repeatedly, "it's too loud."



If two brothers are scrapping and their getting louder, Mason may start to scream to show he doesn't appreciate the negative energy he is sensing.

If anyone is saying the prayer over food or before bed, Mason quickly insists he needs to be the one to say the prayer, then shares a very thoughtful prayer with his arms folded.

He has learned how to play a Toy Story video game. When you ask him about his game he says things like, "I need to put a bad guy in jail. Bad guys get lots of money."

He also enjoys playing the Lego video game. His favorite characters are "Awesome," the guy who is the main character in the lego movie, and Wyld Style, this girl with black colorful hair, he seems to love her most, and gets really upset if anyone switches him from being her before he is ready.
Mason loves cousin time with Josie at the park


We took him to the Peanuts movie last week. A risky endeavor, also undertaken at prime time on a weekend. He spent the first 40 minutes laughing hysterically. Commenting on every part of the movie in a loud voice, "Ha. Ha. The puppy is climbing out of the ceiling. Ha. Ha."  My personal favorite was his interpretation of Snoopy pursuing his love interest Fifi. Snoopy picked some flowers and attempted to catch up with Fifi to give them to her, Mason said, "Oh, he loves his mom. He is giving her flowers.Ohhh. "  After frequently being encouraged to not speak loudly in the film he watched for 5-10 minutes, then announced, "I don't like this movie, "several times. Just so happens his dad indicated he was also bored. Exit stage left for the oldest and youngest movie goers in our group.


For better or worse, we started a tradition when he was about 1yr old of yelling naked hugs to make him think it was fun to get out of the tub, delightful hugs with mom when he is fresh out of the tub. Tiny, snuggly, squishy, happy babies, are so endearing fresh out of the tub smelling of Baby Magic. He always exuberantly calls for, "Naked hugs," then runs into my arms for what we call, super tight, super hugs.  This is all adorable and amazing, but I did recognize it may have a flaw until once when his little girl cousin was over and he offered her a naked hug. :)

Mason selected this batman costume on line because it was "colorful." This gave me home that he would wear it for Halloween. It was a struggle, but in the end he enjoyed his costume for just long enough!

 He enjoyed trick or treating and the Halloween block party, but unfortunately at the house of a high school associate of mine,  they handed him a dumb dumb sucker and he announced, "I don't like suckers, can I have a different one?," as he tossed the sucker back into the bowl with only two lollipops in it.  Oh dear, couldn't he have chosen the house of a stranger for those antics.

Even superheroes love puppies!
 Perhaps everyone has opted not to read this. perhaps they fell asleep in the middle, but I will be quite tickled in a couple years to reread these stories, and rediscover the many magical moments we have enjoyed with our Mason.

These are the people in our neighborhood...

 In case you wondered what Mason is up to these days...
He opens and closes doors
He walks around on twos instead of all fours

He searches every cupboard with care
Until he discovers treasure lurking there
Normally I wouldn't give a sucker to a baby
Perhaps I am turning into a softy...well...maybe
 That isn't all that is going down
Braces have newly arrived in town
 As you can see Griffin is still adorable and cute

 He looks fantastic when he wears a suit
 Lincoln keeps growing, and knows just what he likes
His preference is to wear his hair poked up in spikes
If you find yourself bored and want to know how to play
You can be sure you will enjoy a stop over our way

No mobile one year old is complete without a head bruise
 God has been better to us than we could have dreamed
We love our youngest little addition to Monsters Inc...
Perhaps Monster's University is an even better name
Every day is an education
 And we are so glad to be learning together

Little Mr. Mason

  Mason Sawyer Daw
Many people came to support Mason on his big day
 
 Oops, I wish I had checked the picture of our family...

Griffin was distracted and I was kind of blocking Mason.

We are quite pleased with our newest addition.
He enjoys going for walks...
Most importantly, he puts up with us.

 We have increased in numbers. 
We are no longer My 3 Daws...
Yep, very original, we are now, My 4 Daws.
 Mason Sawyer joined the crew July 14th and this is his picture at one month
He is adored by all.
 My husband told the boys about this fad where people throw themselves into a picture.
Every time the camera came out the kids would start leaping around.
The kids couldn't quite catch the concept that one person is supposed to pose naturally for the photo while someone else leaps in.  We certainly got some fun pictures.
 No absence of personality over here.
 When Mason heard about it...he wanted in as well.
I think he will fit right in! :)
