Mason and his S's



First off, does anyone know how to type S's? Is that right? As in "more than one S." "Multiple S-es." No... That's definitely not right. We're sticking with S's!

Mason is talking so much right now, and it's cracking me up. He can repeat most everything I say. Sometimes it sounds exactly right (Me: "Mason, say Daddy." Mason: "DADDY"), and other times.... Not so much (Me: "Mason, say Joni." Mason: "Osh-di").

His absolute favorite words are ones with an S. Lights. Bus. Snake. I've just discovered that the last couple days. With all the Christmas Lights, he's learned how to fluently say "Dights." He says it perfectly, but since it has an "s" he says "dights.... sssss..... sssss..... sssss." So funny! He just repeats the "s" sound over and over and over! "Bussssss.... sssss..... sssss."

I need to get it recorded before he stops doing it!

All about Drew....








I'm dying over my chubby, squishy, snuggly little man! I've been taking so many pictures of him, and am feeling the need to share (we like sharing....).

The top pictures are of Drew earlier today at work with me. He was laughing so hard for at least 10 minutes, and then paid for it with about 15 minutes of hard hiccups! It was the cutest little laugh EVER!


We seriously can't get enough of him. He gets SO many kisses from me, but he gets even more from Mason! Mason is constantly walking over to him and kissing his head. Lately, he's had to make sure he bends over and gets Drew right smack on the lips. He's also decided he needs to kiss the baby with the kissing sound, since mommy does. Today, he was trying SO hard to kiss with the noise. He started open-mouth kissing Drew's head, and SUCKING on it to get the noise! BAH HA HA HA!!! I was laughing so hard!


Awww.... Cute kids!

What is WRONG with this stupid thing!

I love John.


So, he's a big-time hunter. Big time. Big enough that he thinks he needs every gadget and gismo known to mankind (well, known to the HUNTING mankind). He got a game camera this year, which you mount to a tree. The camera has a motion sensor, and snaps pictures every 15 or 30 seconds when it picks up movement. This way, you can see what wildlife is in an area without having to sit in the tree for weeks at a time.


A little while ago, we got our memory cards mixed up somehow (totally not my fault, by the way, no matter what he says!). I didn't realize it, and just kept snapping pictures. John told me one day that I got his hunting memory card, but I haven't really thought much of it.

Today, I started looking through the pictures, and LOOK AT THESE GEMS! Oh my.... John is working so hard to fix the camera that he THINKS isn't working! John's at work, and I'm dying over these, so I thought I'd hurry and post them before he comes home and catches me making fun of him (he he..... Love you, hon!).




(This last one is my favorite.... Scratching his chin, looking perplexed.... "Why isn't this stupid thing working?!?!")

TWILIGHT!!!

I'm doing a Twilight post. Yes, I'm cool, and I'm in love with a fictional vampire, but HAVE YOU READ IT?!?!?!?! Oh my....
:: swoon ::

I read the books a while back, and then again before Breaking Dawn came out in August. I'm not sure what it is, but they give me this psycho-crazed-obsessed feeling, and I can't put them down! (Ha ha.... Yes, psycho-crazed-obsessed is a good thing in this case!) So good, so easy to read, and such an interesting story line.

I watched the movie, which I was not thrilled with it the first time. It jumped around too much, the acting was overdone, the story line just didn't make sense, etc. I watched it a second time, and LOVED IT! Ha ha.... I think I was too busy analyzing it the first time around, and I was more relaxed the second and just enjoyed the show. Rob Pattinson is HOT (I was a hater, sorry Rob), and Kristen Stewart did a great job. The movie isn't perfect, but it was low-budget, and had a lot of ground to cover. The best thing is, JOHN LIKED IT! Wahoo!!! He definitely didn't like it the same way I did, but he thought it was cool and he liked the vampire/werewolf aspect of it (you know, the manly parts, because he's UBER-manly). I'll definitely be buying it and watching it obsessively!!!

And now, I just finished reading Midnight Sun on Stephenie Meyer's website. OH MY GOSH! I love it even more than Twilight! I was so mad when it was over, and I'm dying for her to finish the book (hopefully she will!). I think I'll read it again, and then read Breaking Dawn again.

Awww...... Okay, I feel much better getting this all out of my system and into the open. I, Tawnya, am a Twilight Fan! And to cap it all off, here's the result of my Twilight Quiz Rachelle told me to take.



I'm a Esme! I found out through TwilightersAnonymous.com. Which Twilight Female Are You? Take the quiz and find out!
Take the Quiz and Share Your Results!


You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and appreciate the kind way you always handle things.


Rachelle guessed I would be Esme. Good guess!!!
