Mason 12 months old

I know I promised a birthday post, but life is so busy right now. I will have it up soon!

In the meantime... here is Mason's 12 month post.

Isn't he the cutest?

I think so! He's a year old now, and starting to look like a big boy! :)

I'm still trying to work on a birthday post. It should be done soon!

 

And yes...he's as sweet as he looks!

My last first birthday...

A week from today, on Easter Sunday, my Mason will turn a year old.  He's my last first birthday, and I am sad!  It makes me want to cry, and be reminiscent for a bit. Sunday will be a glorious day for several reason, but it will be bittersweet, and I am sure a few tears will fall.

As the day gets closer I finally decided to think about what Mason will wear for his special day.  I pulled out the outfit that Bub wore for his first birthday and Easter. I had forgotten that it was an 18 month, but I tried it on Mason just for fun. It swallowed him! I know these two boys look nothing alike, but it brought back memories of my first 1st birthday!! (tears)

I ordered Mason an outfit of his own for his birthday and Easter, but it is very similar to Bubs! And by luck, the rest of the kids have outfits they can wear for Easter to match.

Here is a picture of my first 1st birthday and my last first birthday.

(Casey keeps telling me to stop saying that, because we will have grand kids one day! ;) Knowing my kiddos...there will be many more first birthdays!

Anna's 10th birthday!!

Anna celebrated her 10th birthday this past week.  It was a big one for her!  She's in the double digits now! ;)  I remember the day she was born like it was yesterday! Her entrance to the world was definitely a roller coaster ride that we are still on, but in a totally different good kind of way!  We are so grateful to have her, and to have her wholly in our lives! She is spirited, and definitely an Aries!

 We are blessed by her in so many ways!
