Happy Birthday, big guy!

We can hardly believe Mason is 6!!
It seems like he was a baby just yesterday...

Mason really is a precious gift and we're very grateful that he's ours!
Okay, so I guess he was a little chubby! Gotta love that spare tire!
On his blessing day -we had to wait until after his adoption was finalized to bless him. He was a happy guy that day!




One year old!


First dip in the creek, summer 2004. We spent a lot of time at the creek that summer and Mason loved it!
He put a lot of miles on this car!
Okay, so we were at the ball field watching Delaney's softball tournament. There was no one playing on the field behind us so Mason and some other kids were playing on it throwing balls and running around the bases. I was glad he was entertained so I could watch the game. Then everyone started laughing at the kids playing behind me, so I turned to look too. Mason had taken all his clothes off and was running around completely naked! They even stopped the game because everyone was laughing. I was a little embarrassed as I hurried over to cover up my little streaker but he just kept running - and I could hardly catch him! He just laughed and laughed! At the end of the tournament that night after they awarded the trophies they had an extra one so they gave it to Mason. He has the trophy on his shelf and still loves to hear that story. Too bad I didn't videotape it all!
Mason's first day of kindergarten at Kanab Elementary.




Six years old!











We ate lunch with Mason at school and made ice cream cone cupcakes for his class.

Mason's favorites:
Food: Hamburgers! And he always checks to see how many pickles he got.
Superhero: Spiderman-because "he can web!"
TV Show: Spiderman
Movie: Ben 10
Things to do: Ride ATV's, go camping, and explore around our neighborhood with his buddies.
What he wants to be when he grows up: Policeman - because they get to chase people!
Happy Birthday Mason!
We love you - you bring so much happiness & laughter to our family!

I LOVE the chubby baby pictures! Soooo funny! How did you ever haul him around?

Jessica said...

Aww, my cute little Mason! I miss him! He used to be my bestest friend in the whole entire world, but then he grew up and forgot all about me! ;)

I LOVE the streaker story!!!! One to always remember! When Kass was 2 he used to take his cloths off and stand on the swing to swing. The swing set was in the front yard. Some elderly neighbors would drive around the block instead of just up the street to get to where they wanted to. Seriously, small naked children?? Ya gotta have at least one.

Mikele is such a girly girl that I was surprised she wanted to tryout for softball. He book bag and shoes have to match before she goes out the door and she takes forever to get ready for the day. They just found out who made the team today and she loved practice. Not being on edge waiting to do something to get cut for. Not playing before, she doesn't know the rules. She must have done something right somewhere for them to keep her. I was actually really surprised. We decided to go to dinner tonight as a kind of "you tried" dinner but it turned in to a celebration. I have no idea what position she will play. Is it Delany that plays. I may have spelled that totally wrong!

Oh, we are in Cedar. It's 3A. I'm not sure how the regions are. I've never had to know before. Kass wrestled and I still didn't know.
