My baby is 8!!!

How did this happen?? 

My sweet little guy is growing up!

Mason kinda got the short end of the stick

this birthday, I had a softball tourney in St. G.

So I stayed up there Fri night but B decorated the

house and did an awesome job!!!

Nick and the kids came up that afternoon so we

could celebrate by eating sushi (not my idea)!!

Then we headed to gma and gpa's for oreo

ice cream cake and open presents!

I love you so much Mason! Although you love

to push my buttons and test my patience you are

 a very loving and tender hearted kid. You are such

a tease, especially to your sister!!! You're doing great 

in school and actually behave.. You love playing with 

your friends, especially Decker. You love being 

outside, climbing, riding, running around...

You have a contagious laugh and I love 

those big brown eyes!!!

He did get spoiled by Andrea, she made M&M

McFlurry's for his class on Thurs!!! 

Waddles

Well poor little Waddles isn't going to make

his debut at the fair this year. A couple weeks

ago we noticed he was limping on his hind leg

and it never got any better. We decided to put

him down so we could at least get some meat out

of him. B was really sad when she found out but

after seeing him and how difficult it was for him to 

walk she knew it was for the best! I am proud of her

wanting to take this task on and show him in the fair.

Maybe next year we'll have better luck!!

RIP Waddles

girls day

B and I headed to St. George to do a little 

birthday shopping for Mason.

We had dinner at Twisted Noodle

and shopped our little hearts out!!!

st. patty's day

Where did these silly kids come from???

PacWest Champs!!

We had so much fun cheering Dixie on this year!

They had a fantastic season and we hated to 

see it come to an end...

Their last home game against Point Loma was exciting

and if they won it would land them 1st place in their

conference!!! They won and it was so fun being apart 

of the celebration, cutting the net down and congratulating

the team!!! I'm so happy my kids could witness this night to show 

them what hard work and dedication can result in good things!

The kids were stoked they got a piece of the net!

Dr appt

Mason has been having symptoms like last year when 

he ended up in the hospital - wheezing, congested,

hard time breathing at night. So I got him an appt with

Dr. Rose and we came up with a plan! He does have 

asthma and I think it's environmentally induced.

He needs to do a spirometry test and then we'll come up

with an asthma plan of action.. For now he has 

to do peak flow breathing and we'll record it, put him

on Proair inhaler daily and an allergy pill, if needed

an albuterol breathing treatment.

Mason had his appt early on a Monday morning so 

we hit Kneaders on the way home for french toast!!!

crazy socks/all about me

We love reading week and the kids

loved crazy sock day!!!

Mason's class made an All About Me book

and this was his page!!! So cute how their 

little minds work at 7 years old...

flag football

Another season in the books!

vday shenanigans

We spent the day at the river with our 

awesome friends!!! It was such a perfect

day to soak up some sun, visit with friends, shoot 

guns and skip some rocks!!!

heart walk 2015

The annual heart walk was Feb 13th and the 

kids just happen to be out of school so

they were excited to be able to participate!

We put the kids on scooters and made it

from the rec to the hospital like champs!

mom weekend!!

The first weekend in Feb I headed up north for

a weekend get away with Kirst!!! 

I left Thurs night so I could spend Fri with

Grandpa Gene since Kirst had to work.

I just love this man so much!

Alzheimer's is such a sad disease and its

so hard to see him going through this.

But we make the best out of the situation,

we sat in his room and watched the cars

drive by!! He kept looking at me, wondering who

I was and I would explain each time he asked!

Grandma and I took him to lunch at Chili's 

and then we walked around Kohl's and

I pushed Grandpa around in a wheelchair.

He was so funny and finally got use to the 

fact that I wasn't going anywhere. I would 

just smile at him when he got that look in his

eye and then would smile and wink back at me!

Friday night Kirst and I went painting!!!

I don't claim to be an artist by any means but

it was a lot of fun! Saturday we got pedi's and

did a Costco run, watched a movie and ate dinner

at Porcupine Grill!!! Sunday I met Magaan for breakfast

before heading back to reality!!!!
