Hooray!!!!! School is back in session!!! I was so ready for the first day of school but now that it has come and gone I can't believe the boys are in the 2nd grade. They were both so excited that they were up well before the alarm clock went off. I was able to snap a couple of Pictures before we left. They look so grown up.
Do you think the Teacher would notice if Kegan brought Mason to school with him. He fits perfect!!
I can't believe that it is already Mason's First Birthday. It seems like yesterday that I was bringing him home from the hospital. He has grown up so much but he still hasn't hit 20 lbs yet. Grandma and Grandpa came the weekend before so we got to celebrate twice. First with Grandpa's favorite cake home made Red Velvet. Harmon's provided the second. German Chocolate. Both were very yummy and fattening too. We have to put the weight on him any way we can so he can sit in his new Big Boy car seat that he got for his birthday. We didn't over do it with the presents, instead we went to the bank and set him up a savings account. I know I know. No fun at all. Well we did get him a little walker/scooter a couple of weeks ago so I guess that counts right.
So in honor of Mason's Big day I put together pictures of his first year.
Each year we have been participating a little more in the weeks festivities. This year Adam really wanted the boys to do the Mutton Bustin in the Little Buckaroo rodeo. I was a bit nervous but it turned out to be a ball. The goat throwing was on the list of events too. They were so excited for weeks and yesterday was the day. I have to say they tried to practice. I came down stairs one day last week and here they are on Adam's back taking a ride him like a sheep. It was hilarious to watch. Kaleb didn't stay on the sheep very long and Kegan's sheep didn't want to come out of the gate. It took 3 time before they just shoved the dumb thing out then he took a ride. The goat throw was really cute. Kaleb's goat got the best of him though. Mason was so good through the whole thing. He had fun playing with the little American flag that was if you notice ....Made in China....
Last night when Adam got home he was holding Mason and Adam got him to laughing and all of sudden Mason snorted. It was so funny. Mason's favorite thing to do is to crinkle his nose up and breath really hard and fast through his nose. He has such a cute personality. He loves to entertain anyone in the room.
Right before we went to Disneyland we found out that Kegan needs glasses. He takes after my side of the family with the bad eyes at a very early age. So three quarters into the 1st grade we are at the eye doctors office to fit him for his first pair. When we were deciding on the type of lenses to get he tells me that he wants lenses just like Grandpa Freds. "Ya know the one that go dark when you go outside." He was so excited!!! I was in the 3rd grade when I got my first pair and I must say that the frames now a days are so cute unlike the thick plastic frames of the past. He looks so grown up I can't believe it...
So we made a deal with the kids that if they filled their sticker chart then we would take them to Disneyland. They were so excited when they finally did it. So we went the 2nd week of May and it was absolutly beautiful the entire time. The sun was out and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The parks were not horribly crowded either. We didn't have to wait more then 20 min for any of the rides. The boy's favorite ride was the Screaming California roller coaster. I think we went on it about 8 times. 4 times right in a row. I finally had to say enuf or I'm going to get sick. Grandma J went with us which was the best part. Mason was such a trooper. He never once cried about being in the stroller. He just sat and watched all the people around and was just content. I couldn't have asked for a better trip!!!
