Taylor and Maddie quickly bonded over cooking, baking, and sports. As David got older he truly apprenticed any time he has been able to spend with his sister.
Prince Mason
Ring Bear
Taylor and her dad got Prince after Taylor graduated high school. Prince was 10 weeks old at the time and he was huge! Taylor picked the name Prince because she knew he was going to be the new prince of the house. Taylor helped raise Prince and even potty trained him.

He is also the reason dogs hold a special place in Taylor's heart.
Indy Lawrence
Flower Girl
Indy is David's first dog. David's family adopted Indy when he was in eighth grade. One of the things that David misses the most is having Indy laying at the end of his bed every night. Indy is a very people social dog who loves to beg for food and will often whine if she is being ignored. While being not the most courageous of dogs Indy is a very important part of the Lawrence family which can easily be seen by her many pictures and portraits around David's parents house.
Maya Mason
Flower Girl
Maya is the newest and youngest addition to the Mason household. Maya and Prince got along instantly and that is when Jeff and Taylor knew they wanted to add her to their family. It took Maya a little while to warm up to Taylor but now when Taylor comes home to visit, Maya jumps for joy at the sight of her. Maya's energy has known to get her in trouble at times but she shows so much love to her family. Maya has a little bit of an attitude and will growl to get your attention but that is one of Taylor's favorite parts about her.
