Sigh... Three...

I am determined not to start this post lamenting about how long it has been since I've blogged.  I won't do it, I won't do it, I won't do it....

But I think I made it under the year mark, right?!

My precious boy turned three last week.  I can hardly believe it.  Mason brings so much joy to our lives.  He can make me laugh louder and harder than most anyone else and tries my patience more than most.  Regardless, I wouldn't change that cute little freckle-face redhead for anything!!

Some of my favorite memories from the last year:

  • "Don't sing, Mommy!"
  • "Purple pizza, that's funny!" (from a silly song on Pandora)
  • Our "swimming" vacation to Glenwood Springs in June 2013- we didn't do much else other than swim!
  • "I'm so happy that everyone will be at my birthday!" (in response to our discussion about who would be coming to Water World on Mason's actual birthday)
For Mason's third birthday, we had a pirate themed party the weekend before his actual birthday.  Mason chose pirates over Super Why and I'm glad he did!  We had such a fun time!!

On Tuesday the 16th, the Coleman family joined Mason on his actual birthday at Water World.  What a perfect place for a little boy who loves the water and swimming.  We could hardly pull him off the slides at Wally World to do anything else! But we rode raft rides and played all over the part.  The boy has the bumps and bruises to prove all the fun he had!

Mason will be starting preschool this fall at my school- I couldn't be happier.  He is very excited to go to preschool with his teacher, Miss Patty.  She remarked that he didn't look like an almost 3 year old when we met her in June- he looked almost 4!  We get that a lot- Mason is a tall, smart boy who makes my life worthwhile.  I can't wait to see what the next year will bring!

As soon as I can figure out my iCloud photos, I will post them here!

Until next time!
