Sleeping...(Fingers Crossed!!!)

Mason read mom's book - and must have taken notes! We've slept through the night for FIVE nights in a row!!! I hope I'm not jinxing his success... Keep it up baby boy!!!



This is during a three hour nap after a LONG day of playing outside! So sweet!!!

SUNSHINE!!!

We love our new swing-set and we LOVE that the SUN came out! Molly and Mason have become best buddies! I knew as soon as Mason learned to throw the ball for her they'd be the best of friends! I love watching them play together. It is priceless! Trigg came out on a sunny day and got to play fetch too (although Mason was a ball hog!). I love being able to play outside - looking forward to (and praying) for a NICE summer!



















Emmett's Easter Event!

Our community put on a fundraiser event for Emmett last Sunday. It was an easter egg hunt for the kiddos and then a spaghetti dinner and auction! It was so much fun! There was a great turn-out. We got to play with alot of our friends and the dinner and auction were a huge success! Mason and I helped with the live auction. The total raised for the day was almost $47,000!!! What a blessing for Emmett and his family... It was a truly touching day. I am so happy that we were able to be a part of it! The group of people that put on the event are amazing examples to us all!


Mason was scared of the Easter Bunny - so mom had to be in the picture too!


Searching for eggs...


Getting kisses from Tug!



Tug's "mean mug" face! Haha cracks me up!



Madison, Mason and the Easter Bunny! Madi is such a sweetheart - and adores Mason!

Daddy's Boy...

Kev went back to work the end of March. It has been hard for Mason (and Mommy) having him gone! We're grateful he is working again but it was sure nice having him home every night for three months. He loves spending time with Mason and misses him so much when he is gone. We finally had a few sunny days and Mason helped Daddy mow our yard! They are so cute together!


Napping on Daddy... Kev hates hearing Mason cry so he spoils him rotten! We have had a fair share of disagreements over Mason's sleeping issues. Kev drives me crazy sometimes - but at the end of the day it is so sweet how much he loves our baby boy!

Knappa - Burns - Boise - Burns - Knappa!

Spring break was a week long trip from home to Burns to Boise, back to Burns and then finally home again! It is a very good thing Mason is a GREAT traveler! We had a great time visiting my family. Grandma Jana got to spend some quality time with Mason while I did a LOT of lesson planning! (I started my student teaching the Monday after Spring Break!) Grandpa Andy took us out to see the baby calves and show us his new investments. We had Auntie Shery's baby shower, which turned out great! And we were excited we got to go to Boise and see Skye and Becca's beautiful new home and spend time with our cousins!







Play Time!

A few weeks ago we got together with Hannah and Tug! Tug just found out he is going to be a big brother! We went out to lunch to celebrate and then headed to port of play to let the boys have some fun!
