the LONGEST blog ever.....

hi everyone! sorry for the delay in updating this...well, it hasn't been too long, just seems like it's been a while....so I'm going to do one massive blog right now to cover all that's been going on and catch you all up on everything! :) how's that sound? get ready...here we go! ha....mason starts off telling us about his first week with his cousin ryan :)....
Well....as you may know, this week was Ryan and I's first one of many together, my Aunt Tracy went back to work this week and Mommy and I were excited to get to spend our days with my new little cousin, Ryan....we had lots of fun, although right now, Ryan sleeps much more than I do, eventually she'll be up playing with me but we are already having lots of fun together! Here are some pictures from our first few days together...i love my little cousin!



Let's see...there's also been a family party since the last time we put a blog up here...my aunt mara and uncle nathan had their bday party last week, we had lots of fun there, here are some pictures from that!!! :) those birthday parties get a little loud and crazy but nothing i'm not used to with my daddy always screaming and yelling (my mommy isn't ever loud) hehe....



that was such a fun day...Happy birthday again, aunt Mara and uncle Nathan...i love you guys!
Now some time with one of my most favorite people...my daddy...I'm so lucky to have him for my Dad! He's one great dad and I love laughing with him and being with him...he can always make me smile and CRACK up!I also love listening to him play the guitar, even though I try to chew on the guitar most of the time, daddy plays so good! here are some of me and Dad hanging out, and OH check out my cool jordan's in this first picture, those are from my Uncle Vaka and Aunt Shannon in CA, who i miss SOOOOOO much! i wish they were here with us! Here we go...some jordan's then time with daddy!





now on to some more "Hodges at Home Photography Photos" again...haha, not really BUT here are some recent ones of me... my mommy was having fun trying to catch all of my new silly faces, with my tongue sticking out...i LOVE sticking my tongue out now all of the time....




well...there you have it! :) Man...my mommy sure spent quite some time on this very long blog while she could be getting some precious 'shut eye'...so to end with, here's one with my mommy and me...now she can go to sleep! We are so thankful for all of our friends and family...i know it's so easy to say that, but we TRULY have so much to be thankful for...I don't ever want to take for granted what we've been given...I want to ALWAYS remember to be thankful in every situation because God has blessed us in SO many amazing ways. We love you!
