Happy 4th Birthday Mason!

On November 15th four years ago Monroe and I's life was turned upside down with the birth of our first son Mason. From that point on our life has been so enriched with happiness, love, and sleepless nights. Sorry for this post but if you will indulge me and my sappiness I sure would appreciate it. I would like to write a post to each of my children on their birthday, after all this is our family journal.

Our week started out on Sunday with Mason's birthday and with a quiet family party at home. We started off with opening presents except Monroe and I were not involved. Mason opened his presents while we were still in bed because he was so excited about them. It was pretty funny and I really can't blame his, I was the same way as a child. We then went to church and came home and had Masons Meal of his choice Ham and cheese sandwiches with butter. We all enjoyed and walk to the park while Mason rode his new Scooter from his Grandpa and Grandma. After our walk we went to the nearest Red Box (which was one of the best inventions) and Rented the Movie Up, it is so cute and I highly recommended it. We then had Root Beer Floats per Mason's request. Then off to bed. It was a fun day and I think Mason had a good time.




We also celebrated again on the next Saturday with a party with all of his friends. It was a good party and I think that every one had a good time.


Anyways I think Mason liked turning four. It is absolutely amazing to me that he is four already. He is such a special little boy and brings so much joy to our family. He defiantly has a special spirit that he has had since he was born. We sure do love our Mason.

Here Comes Wildfire!

So since selling my horse and closing that chapter in my life I have taken up a new hobby, and no it is not canning as many people have asked. My sister Megan and her husband has introduced me to Mountian Biking, and living in Fruita one of the best places to Mt. Bike in the nation I have found a new love. I have two good friend that I have gone with weekley now for around a month and love it. The nickname that my friends have given me is Wildfire (from the song) because I used to ride horses.
So anyways I have been riding my good old Diamond Back Bike that my parents bought for me when I was in JR. Highschool and it has worked really well but the money that I sold my horse for I decided to buy a new bike with shocks and better brakes and I really don't know all that I need so I turned to my brother-in-law to help me find a bike. Well he found one within two days of looking and I am way excited to try it out. It is UT and I will get it over Thanksgiving and I can't wait. Here is a picture of my new bike.
