So, been a couple months...

So people keep telling me that we need to update the blog. I guess after a two month layoff we might as well. The last two months were very busy months. With Thanksgiving and Christmas coming and going we had the chance to see a lot of family. The Mckinleys came in from far off Fresno and my brother Jerm came in from D.C.
The last few months have seen myself and Robyn getting new jobs. After 5 great years with Merrill Lynch, Robyns tenure has finally come to an end. Due to the economic issues with the banking industry, Merrill Lynch was forced to sell to Bank of America. During this transition BofA decided to close out many of their departments here in Utah. Robyn had always done such a great job at Merrill and was repeatedly recognized for her hard work. She found something quickly and is enjoying her new job. I am sure we will succeed there also.
We are doing well and Mason continues to grow. I will be posting pics shortly so stay tuned!

Sleepy face

This is the look of someone who just woke up from a great nap!

Yes...that is his hand print across his face and the binky you can see outlined around his mouth.

Halloween 2009

So this was little Masons first halloween. After 3 outfit choices/purchases we (Robyn) decided on making Mase a monkey. Not the most original choice...but he was darn cute. The day was full, we stopped by grandma Sheri's house briefly to take some pics of everyone in their costumes. After that we went to Grandma Bev's house for pizza and to celebrate Allison's bday. (Happy BDay sis.) Mason went Trick-or-Treating with Audrey and Sophie. They had a good idea of what was going on, Mason was just happy to be out and about for the night. He was a trooper and kept his outfit on the entire night. Except for when one of his shoes fell off and dad had to run back to the other side of the neighborhood in the dark to look for a darn brown shoe...All in all it was a fun night.





Our Little Monkey Man















From the top: The washed up church-ball player, the explorer, the monkey, the pumpkin, a couple lady bugs, a witch and a radianting bee-keep and his bee.

The explorer and her catch.

Mason with Aurdrey the Witch Sophie the lady bug and Calvin the tired.

My wife the nurse

So I get a call from Robyn yesterday mentioning that there was something wrong with Cassie. She spoke how there was all sorts of blood everywhere. Every step she took, more blood. She put her in the garage, I came home there were bloody paw prints everywhere. Well when I came home, this is what I found. Robyn wrapped her foot and placed it in a sock. Upon further review, our poor little dog had played so hard she somehow ripped off one of her nails...ouch. She is still limping around. But I must say I am impressed with Robyn and her amazing first aid skills...however she did use one of my socks...not cool.
