Birthday Season

It was Maya's fourth birthday 1/31/2010 and Mason's 2nd birthday 2/22/2010. Our little family is growing up fast it seems. Here are a few pics of the last couple of months.

Jenny and Mason making his birthday cupcakes.

Mason the chef!

The Birthday cupcakes. Jenny's brain child.

Mason shows off his newly learned ability to show his age.

Those are some good cupcakes!

We escaped to Las Vegas for a little R&R while I went to a radiology meeting at the Wynn. Some friends of ours, the Fuhrimans, had compassion on us and watched Maya and Mason for a few days, for which we are deeply grateful. We had a great time. We took a nice ride up around the Red Rock canyon loop. We will take you, too, if you come an visit us there once we make it our home in July.

...and the slightly more sinister, Dad.

Family night pulling weeds in the yard. Yes, we do get weeding in AZ. For a clip of Mason mimicking Jenny throwing out pooh from the neighbors cat, see:
