Disneyland

Before we left California, we went to Disneyland for the day. I love how that place makes we feel like a kid again. I get so excited and can't wait to go on all the rides!

Notice who won ;)

Emma and Travis (some great friends of ours :) met up with us later on in the day. It was so fun to hang out with them and go on some rides together. Travis HATES the tea cups BUT we convinced him to go on it just once for us. He hesitantly agreed as long as we didn't spin the wheel.....but once we all squeezed in one small (pink) tea cup, we asked, "could we spin it just once?" And one time turned into two times, and so on and so on :)

Until we see you again Disneyland...you've been fun!

Indoor Sky Diving

For Mike's birthday (Levi's dad) which was back in January the Luster family went indoor skydiving. I've never been real skydiving or indoor skydiving. Of course I was scared at first but a little bit excited too ;) When we pulled up a group of men from the Army were just about to land from doing a few jumps. You can do real skydiving there also. They made the landing part look like a breeze. But then again they've done it 100 times, too. Once we got signed up we had to wait for the group in front of us to finish. They were doing twists, two people at once, and all sorts of tricks...again, they made it look easy. We went through a short tutorial, and then put on our jump suits. I felt like I was getting ready to rob a bank!

Here's Levi, Mike and Tanner in their jump suits

Here's Levi and I with our hats and goggles on. Cute, right?!

Each person got to go for two 2 minute sessions. On the first turn they help you in and helped you maintain the form they gave you in the tutorial

If you got too close to the walls or ground, you just push off to get back into the middle

"Cheese!"

It gets cold inside because the HUGE fans under the ground are pushing up so much air.

Of course Levi was good :)

On our second turn in the last 10 seconds, they hold onto you and twirl you allll the way up to the top. That was the best part! It's hard to tell in this picture but you go up pretty far

Everything we were doing that day was very basic. So if we were to go again, we could learn how to stand up, do flips, make circles, etc. Our instructors were very good at it, which they should be :)

Now onto the real thing!! ;)

A day in the life of Mason

Mason has a pretty rough life. And he's not spoiled at all.....

Here's proof:

When dad is off at work, I play with my toys (and mom's sock) while mom gets ready. On the bed of course.

I email my brothers and sisters and catch up on the latest news

Who needs toys when you can chew on mom's shoes?!

I take a few naps here and there....

When mom is shopping for work stuff, I go with her

When mom isn't working sometimes I scrapbook with her

Dad's home! I love it when he gets home! Sometimes I bite his nose, but he doesn't care

After dinner and playing around, I get pretty tired. It's been a rough day! Mom and dad let me lay in bed with then until they are ready to go to bed, then I go in my own bed.

It's tough being me!!

Valentine's Weekend

I love decorating for Valentine's Day. All the pinks and reds and fun heart shaped stuff is all so cute! I love adding a few new pieces to my collection each year :) I can't believe its already over though, and its mid-February! Where has the time gone?!

This year, Levi and I took a trip to Sedona for a few days. We stayed at a place called Junipine, just north of downtown Sedona. They have individual cabins with full kitchens, a living room, and patio. Ours was actually 2 stories with a second bedroom and bath upstairs! It was nice to hear the creek outside our bedroom and the crackle of a real fire burning.

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Weekend!

Mason's Hops

The first couple of days after we got Mason, we noticed he had quite the hop to his step :) We were able to get a little bit of it on video...

This is only a 1 second video because I hit the wrong button but it catches him in mid air :) He get's good heigh!
