Mason and His Crafts

Mason is my little crafter. He is always trying to think up something that he can make. He loves to make decorations for our home for every holiday. He also loves to plan little "parties" in his room. He will decorate and set up little stations for us to do things at. For Mother's day this year he set up different stations complete with signs for each one, some of them were...

-"snuggle with mom" - he had books and blankets on his bean bag
-"wash dishes with mom" - he had the play kitchen set up for this
-"play a game with mom" - he had a game set up on the card table

I can't remember what else he had, but it was really cute and I loved it.

Last Fall he set up a "Fall Fiesta" in his room and he made invitations for our friends that live next door. :)

Kennedy and Ryker

Kennedy is trying to clip Rykers fingernails for him. This girl is so good with him...most of the time. She is able to play little games with him that are on his level and he absolutely adores her.

Happy 7th Birthday Mason!

Mason had a great birthday this year. He had some friends over for a Star Wars birthday party. Unfortunately I didn't take many pictures. (which is always a HUGE problem of mine)

A second party with family.

Opening presents in the morning. He got knights and horses, new goggles, a remote control car, and donuts for breakfast.

Mason is growing up so fast. Its so funny how we have always pushed him to grow up and be more mature, and make better choices and pretty much just always want perfection out of him. Poor kid. Now I want him to slow down and stay my little boy awhile longer.

Camping With Friends at Lake Roosevelt

We went camping with some friends and had such a great time. Lots of good food, boating, swimming, a little bike riding, and much more.

Ryker was always ready for a bike ride.

I'm not sure that I should post this picture because she may be relieving herself her, but I can't help it because I think she looks so cute. Her and Emma are getting ready to paddle to the dock.

They made it.

We used LOTS of sunscreen.

A little football.

Camping means eating lots of junk food that they don't normally get at home. The kids are in heaven! Here is Kennedy enjoying some sugar for breakfast. :)
