Mason’s second tooth lost and the dentist

Mason getting his teeth cleaned.

Mason helping the dentist count Hagen’s teeth.

Mason had a really loose tooth.  He did not want the dentist to pull it.  The nurse put some numbing gel on it.  A little while later, after the dentist was done checking Mason’s teeth out, he said he wanted to check how wiggly the tooth really was.  Sure enough, as soon as Mason started to get almost too uncomfortable, the tooth popped out!!

 

It was so funny to watch.  He was so shocked!!!  I wish I had videoed it!

Easter Celebration at Church

The boys sang in ‘Big’ church the weekend before Easter.  This was actually huge since they never sing in public.  They sing all the time in the car and in front of us… but to put a performance in front of anyone else is unimaginable in their eyes.

I was actually shocked they agreed to even go on stage --- let alone do the hand motions for the songs!

I know they are blurry… but I really thought they might just stand there!  Can you see them?  They are on the right side – the last two.

Wish I had known they would perform… I would have tried to get video.  I’m thinking the next time, I will be a little more prepared!

The next week, we had our Easter Sunday – complete with a visit from the Easter Bunny….

An Easter egg hunt…. (obviously it was hot outside)…

and nothing at our church is complete without a visit from Mr. Frosty!!

Ice Skating–Cambry’s Birthday Party

Cambry had her birthday party at an ice skating rink.  Hagen and Daddy were brave and tested it out.  Mason wanted no part of it… so Mason and I became spectators.

They started off slow and uncoordinated. 

After a few falls, Hagen wanted to stick to the wall.

A few times around and he actually got really comfortable.  It was amazing how much he improved!

What?  I’m not ready to go?!

Weekend at Papaw and Mamaw’s

We went to hang out with Papaw and Mamaw over Spring Break.  The boys have so much fun there… lots of places to explore – a boys’ dream!

Here are the three boys looking out at the Brazos River.

Jeremy and Mason

Mason and I decided to take a walk.

Mason: always on a mission!

‘Look, Momma!  A big stick!’

Checking out the Brazos.

We found Daddy’s deer stand and decided to climb up and see Daddy’s view.  I think both of us underestimated how high up it was!

Wow, we are high up!

Mason found another stick on our walk back… again, the boy cracks me up!  He is so fun to take a walk with.  Gran certainly gave her love of nature to him!!

Helping Papaw with his chores were their favorite thing of the whole weekend!

Working on the farm can really wear a person out!

Sports… and more… sports

We got back the boys pictures for their Spring Soccer Season.  I just loved them and wanted to share!

I know I am partial, but are they not the cutest boys ever

Birthday Celebration of 6

I never posted the boys’ actual birthday cake/celebration.  Since we had a low key family celebration – I made cupcakes and we had a ‘regular’ dinner with the cupcakes for dessert.

We were watching Pioneer Woman one evening (I LOVE her… check out her website and for extra fun, check out cooking show on the Food Network.  She lives in Oklahoma on a ranch and being that I am only 1.5 hours from the Oklahoma border… I have been very close to just driving through Oklahoma attempting to find her.  Surely she is used to stalkers and has the correct security precautions…).  And… back to my point ~ the Pioneer Woman made these amazing cupcakes with cream on the inside.  All three boys, with mouths’ watering, said they wanted those cupcakes for the birthday celebration. 

It has chocolate ganache on top.  These are now in my top 3 favorite desserts I have ever made.  So good!  Again, love that Pioneer Woman.  I think she’s near Tulsa.  I mean, how many 500 acre ranches are out there?  It has a big sign on it that says ‘Drummond Ranch’ – surely that narrows it down, right?

Here they are, all lined up ready to be devoured.

Oh yeah, so anyway, about the boys turning six!

Here are Mason and Hagen, ready to have his song and eat his cake.

We got them a balloon each (yeah, we went all out) and a mask for each of us to wear.   Every boy loves a mask, didn’t ya know?

And… on to 7.  Mason asked me the other day, how old when I be on March 18th?  I said, 7!  He said, Oh wow, I’ll be in 1st grade!!.

Ugh!  Don’t remind me!!!  Growing.Up.Before.My.Eyes!
