Mason's 12th Birthday!

Okay, so it is not exactly Mason's 12th Birthday yet, it is not until May 3rd, but this was the only time we could do it as next weekend he will be gone on his first overnight scouting trip (Lance is going too, that makes me less nervous).


He told me he wanted white cupcakes, I always try to convince them to get chocolate, but they tell me that is more for me than them! I got some anyway just in case the other kids wanted chocolate (okay, again another ploy just to get chocolate ones!) I love Taylor's face in this picture!


Sheldon (laying across), Austin, Kevin, Zac, Marcial, and Mason.


Lance got Mason a sleeping bag that will be good for his overnighter next weekend and the rest of us got him an iPod touch, which he has been wanting forever! Taylor was even more excited I think than Mason was for it. He came to me one day and said, "Mom, we need to get Mason's iPod set up for him." I just kept saying we will do it later and eventually he said, "Mom, can I just hold it and touch it for a second then!!" He is so funny! Now they both have one to play together!


Mason and Zac have known each other since preschool. In most of the pictures, this is what Kevin is doing to Mason's head, no idea why!


The boys went geocaching, we actually tried to find this cach before but were unsuccessful, I knew they would be able to find it though. I love their mustaches! Austin gave these to Mason. Mason also received a watch, money, candy, a bug robot, Lego's, iPod touch, and a sleeping bag. I also got him a suit and white shirt for when he gets to start passing the sacrament!!

Mason, you are a wonderful kid and we love you!! I can't believe you are going to be in middle school next year. I am proud of how smart and kind you are. Mason gets to be in advanced Math, Reading, and English next year! Even though I know you are getting bigger, I know that you will still let me cuddle you, tell me you love me, and let me give you big LUVS!!

Alyssa's 7th Birthday

For Alyssa's birthday we went over to Elite Gymnastics where she takes gymnastics. She wanted to do a Hello Kitty party, so went shopping to find her the perfect Hello Kitty shirt to wear. This was the perfect place for a party, everyone wore themselves out, especially Grandpa Cannon climbing the rope all the way to the ceiling.


All of Lysa's friends that came.


They all loved the rope and the foam pit.


Sierra, Kamri, Jordyn, and Alyssa (Jordyn is one of Alyssa's favorite people, she is the cutest and nicest girl!)


Alyssa told me that all she wanted for her birthday was a water bottle like the one I have (CamelBak one with a bite down straw) so that is what I got her! I am waiting until she gets older like the boys and wanting more expensive things.


Alyssa and Gracie, these girls are tough! The adults were playing just as much as the kids, the kids were just a little bit more daring though!
