Where to begin...

It's amazing how much time has passed since we've posted anything. Erika really should teach Kevin how to do it. It has been a busy month. We had barely recovered from the holidays when Erika's parents came to visit. We had a lot of fun, even though Erika was sick half the time and miserable. Nana was wonderful about cooking a lot, yum! Loren and Ramanda stayed at our house, which was a treat. We went to the Sonoran Desert Museum, which wasn't as fun as it usually is, the only animal out was a coyote. But they did have a fascinating presentation on snakes/poisonous reptiles. Mason identified the gila monster immediately. He really knows his animals.



Mason had his first ice cream cone of his very own! Everyone else was getting some and he kept asking for "Mason's ice cream." He wouldn't settle for a bite of someone elses, so we got him his own and he ate a lot of it (with surprisingly little mess).



Mason sitting on Paw-paw's lap on the train at Old Tucson Studios. This is a place where many, many Western movies are filmed and it is part-time western theme-park. It was cute, interesting. There was a gun-fight and a can-can show. Loren got to participate in the show (pictures censored). Mason of course just wanted to ride the train.



Mason sat on Uncle Loren and held a very lengthy conversation in baby-talk about who-knows-what. He thought it was great, though.



The little cutie was playing with the plant, picking off leaves, and having a great time. He really is wonderful about entertaining himself finally.



Mason liked this coyote family statue at the museum. We really loved having everyone in town!
