Reminiscing

I am so lazy when it comes to blogging. We haven't posted forever and I was just reading my sister-in-law, Tanis' blog and wanted to comment, but don't want to take the time to figure out how to do it. So, I'm sure she checks here every once in a while just in case we have written anything new so I will just write here. Anyways, I really enjoyed reading her blog today because she was talking about music and how different songs that you hear now from your past totally take you back to that time and place. I just thought it was a good reminder because some of the songs that remind me of good times don't really come on the radio anymore. When I sit and think of it though I think the songs that I think about the most are the ones that were on the radio when Chad and I were dating and like she said, sometimes it is so vivid you can feel what the weather was like or smell the odors of that moment. Anyways, maybe it seems a little silly, but I am the same as she is and hearing some of those songs just brings back all the excitement of that time and I just feel kind of thankful for that today. I definitely don't take the opportunity enough to remember all the great things that have happenend in my life. So thanks Tanis for making me think a little and thanks Chad for all the great things I have to remember!

Someone's 5



Wow, I can't believe how much Mason has changed. Well, I suppose really he just isn't quite so blonde and small! He still is the same sweet boy he started out as!





There's so much we could say about Mason and his personality, but I think this picture sums up what half his life is dedicated to! I'm almost ashamed to admit it as I'm not the biggest fan of video games, but this kid seriously is a pro!



We love you so much. You are the best brother to your sister and brother. You have such a great laugh and brighten our home. We're so blessed to have you in our lives. Happy Birthday!
