Mason's 8th Birthday

Since Mason's birthday was on a Sunday this year, we got to celebrate all weekend long. Saturday morning we went to the Museum. Drew had never actually been with us, and we wanted him to experience it before our passes expired.

Mason didn't have a friend birthday this year, instead we just celebrated as a family. He chose to go bowling.

and then for dinner we went to Chili's

On Sunday Mason woke up to this!

This also happened to be Mothers Day, so Mas had to share the day with me. Drew fixed us a yummy dinner and we had a great day.

We opened presents...

Sang, blew out 8 candles, and ate yummy ice cream cake...

and tested out the new electric scooter...

 we are so lucky to have this awesome 8 year old as part of our family. He is a great example to his younger brothers and a hard worker! Love ya Mas!!!

Cupcakes and Mothers Tea

The Friday before Mason's birthday, I got to take cupcakes for his class to celebrate. Hayden and I went during lunch and brought Subway sandwiches for Mason (one of his favorites). It was fun to spend lunch with him!

 That same day, I got to come back a little later and go to a Mothers Tea that Mason's class had for all the moms in honor of Mother's Day that Sunday. They served us Tea (Mason made sure their was Apple Juice for me) and cookies then did a short program with songs and a few plays. It was fun to see Mason and his class.

Mason's Soccer Season

While Tanner played baseball this spring, Mason decided he wanted to do soccer again. They have 5 on 5 teams during the spring. He had a great time and really made a lot of improvement from the fall/winter. He was a great little player on his team and was named MVP at the end of the season. He is such a hard worker and it really paid off.

Hayden could be a little pill during the games (of course) but he loved warming up with the team before the games. As soon as it was half time and I would let him free he would run on the field and start dribbling the ball. He got to be pretty good for a 2 year old!

 Big kick!

Mason's Ear Surgery

In April, Mason had to have his second set of Ear Tubes removed. Those tubes just don't like to fall out on their own! He did great and was back to normal by the end of the day! Dad even got to be in on the surgery! Here he is before they wheeled him back.

Taking him back

 All done now and waiting for the anesthesia to wear off

And getting ready to leave, wheelchair style!
