Great-Grandma Mason turned 80

 Great-Grandma Mason turned 80 years old on May 7th.  The Mason side of the family got together to celebrate at Chuck-A-Rama the next day (Monday) for dinner.  It was nice to see the place packed in her honor.  She is an amazing lady!!  We sure do love her so much!! 

Baseball Season

 Boden LOVED his first year of T-ball.  He was such a good little hitter!! 

 I didn't want to put Beckem in T-ball so we put him in coach pitch not realizing he would be playing against 1st and 2nd graders.  He hasn't even started kindergarten yet!!  I wasn't worried at all though, he fit right in.  He is a ROCK STAR!!  He played just as good as everyone else if not better.  He was fun to watch as his little legs ran around the bases.  

I am not sure what happen to my picture I took of Kyson : (  He played on Marc Hansen's team with coach pitch.  There were two games that he played against Beckem.  The rivalry was hilarious.  Kyson also did amazing.  He is so talented and is so good at everything he does!!  

 Tegan did his first year of kid pitch and did AWESOME!!  The first practice the coach asked if anyone wanted to pitch and Tegan barely put up his hand but the coach didn't see him.  Tegan is so shy and was scared to try to pitch since he hadn't done it before.  Zac came home and worked with him and had him pitch to him.  After a few pitches Tegan could see that he has a very accurate arm so after some coaching Zac talked him into telling the coach he wanted to pitch.  From there on out he was one of the team pitchers.  Almost every game he got three up three out.  They would bring him in for the closing pitcher.  It was SO FUN to watch!!  All my boys are amazing at baseball and they love it, but Tegan has DREAMED about baseball since he was a baby.  You can tell his heart is in the game and he LOVES it.    

We had a busy baseball season with 11 games a week, but it was SO MUCH fun to see all of them develop their talents.  They are all so talented!!  I am so proud of all my boys!! 

Pizza Man Trip

Kami Smith (our cute neighbor) put together a little field trip for all the kiddos that are starting kindergarten next year in our neighborhood.  We took all the kids to Pizza Man and let them make their own pizzas.  The boys loved it.  Kami is such a fun mom!!  We love having her around. . . it was a fun little outing!! 

Natural History Museum Fieldtrip

I was so excited to go with Tegan and his grade to Salt Lake on their field trip before school got out.  We went down to the Natural History Museum.  I had never been down there.  It was really fun to go around and see all the different exhibits that they had for the kids.  

Tegan's favorite exhibit of course was the dinosaurs.  He wants to be a paleontologist so anything to do with dinosaurs or bones intrigues him so much!!  We had a fun day and I am so glad I was able to go with him and spend the day together.   

One of a kind. . . we will miss you Thomas!!

This is probably one of the hardest posts I have had to write.  On Sunday April 30th at 1:00 P.M. my Grandpa and one of my best friends returned to Heaven.  I wish so bad I could have been in Heaven to see the reunion when he got to see his wife, his son/best friend-Dave, his daughter-LuAnn, his mom (she died when he was 14 and he was really close to her) and many other relatives that have passed on.  

He fought a hard battle.  He tried to be independent as long as he could be.  He never wanted to be burden on anyone.  He had an angel (my mom) on this Earth watch over him.  There are not many people that have such amazing family to care for them.  My mom would call him at least twice a day and then take him to lunch every day.  Not to mention help him with his laundry, refill prescriptions, take him grocery shopping,  schedule and take him to many, many doctor's appointments,  and SO MUCH MORE!!  She is truly an angel and I know he appreciated her so much!!  

I am so grateful for the past four years I have had to get to go with him to lunch a few times a week and enjoy his company.  He always knew how to make me smile.  He has always called me his heart-breaker and now I feel a small piece of my heart is broken without him.  I am so grateful for the gospel and the knowledge I have to know that I will see him again one day.  I couldn't have asked for a better grandpa and friend.  He was one of a kind and that's what I LOVED about him!!  Until we meet again, I LOVE YOU THOMAS!!     

Easter Egg Hunts

One thing we love about Easter time is the Easter egg hunts and the free candy.  We started our morning out in Pleasant View at their Easter Egg hunt.  

 Then we headed out to Layton to be with Great Grandma Mason at here facilities Easter egg hunt. I was SO IMPRESSED with the amount of eggs that there were.  Grandma said they had been stuffing eggs for two weeks.  There was over 5,000 eggs for the kids.  It was awesome.  Then after the egg hunt they had a really nice breakfast for everyone.  

Grandma and Grandpa's Easter Party

 

My mom and dad always do so much for us and the kiddos.  It was a fun night with the family!!
