Minecraft/Bumblebee Party for Mason

 Tinkerbell was a perfect "gag" gift. It was explaining "gag gift" to the kids, that was fun!

 Thank thank you gifts....bubbles!

 This little guy, Cole, is a little brother of one of Braden's team/classmates. His birthday was actually the same day of the party, but he wanted to be at Mason's party. Such a sweet kid!

 Mason wanted his friends to go to Kiddie Land, a mini amusement park, at the park. It was perfect for these guys....even Braden!

 Sharing his snow cone with Pop!

 Our Korean friends, Carrick (above) and Young Chan (below) were a huge hit at the party! They even brought an extra friend, Ryan!

Pre-Party T-Ball Practice

 Coach Dad, was able to squeeze in a practice before Mason's party started. Catch, Dad!

 Walk like a man.....

 Already bored

 Coach Pop

Don't all Major League players pick their nose for the camera?

Pop came to visit!

 We had the opportunity to celebrate the boy's birthdays on Memorial Day weekend. It was our first weekend without a baseball tournament! Pop was able to drop in for the festivities and a little back yard coaching.

Thankful

 There are two things in my life that I continue to thank God for ever single day. One of those is being a Mom, although I'm usually asking for guidance to be a better Mom. The other is sharing this life with Blake. I am thankful for his foresight, and confidence in my ability to mother these two monkeys. Even when I don't get it perfect (does anyone?) he's always right there making me feel like a success. As with Mother's Day for the past 9 years (we celebrated while Braden was still in the oven) this year was perfect. It's nice to have a day for the special stuff, but I honestly feel loved and appreciated every day.

Headed for the BIG K!

This kid is going to kindergarten! He is already registered, Blake took him for his final shots (Reason #125 why I love Blake, he does the shots) and already has a new bike and helmet for being so brave!

Mason has been in preschool since he turned 3. He attended the same PSU Little Gorillas Preschool at PITT STATE, and then an afternoon preschool at his daycare.

Today was his last day of preschool at PSU, and below are a few snippets of what he learned and what his teachers had to say about him.
