Mason You are 4!!!

I can't believe my baby boy just turned 4! How is that possible??? Mason has brought so much joy to my life! He teaches me something new everyday. He is such a strong little guy and works so hard everyday. He has grown so much over the last year. He is really making progree with his speech and love hearing the new words he is learning. He never let's his disablities get in the way. I love him more then words!

This year we decided to keep things low key again for his birthday. He really doesn't like birthday parties so we had a small family party at our house. The the following weekend we took him bowling with our great friends the Ziegler's. There youngest is Mason's best little buddy. Mason & Joey have been friends since they were in me & Kerri's tummy :)

Happy Birthday sweet baby, Mommy loves you SO much!

Future Cheerleader

Last Friday night Emily got to cheer during half time of the JV basketball game. She had such a great time :) She just acted like she belonged out there! I think I have a little cheerleader on my hands.

It's Been a While

Wow! I didn't realize how long it has been since blogged. We have had a packed couple of months.
Christmas was wonderful. We really scaled it down this year. Santa brought the kids what they really wanted,DSI's. They really loved them. We just thought this year there was no reason to pack the tree with stuff they didn't really want or stuff they didn't need just to have a ton of gifts to open.

A very special little girl touched our families life this Christmas. Hallie Lynn Green was born December 19th to my friends Chris & Katie Green. Katie found out early in her pregnancy that Hallie had a rare genetic disorder call Trisomy 13. They were not sure she would even make it to birth, but she did! Hallie was alive 5 beautiful days. Chris & Katie graciously shared their story of love and faith with everyone. Hallie's story gave me the opportunity to talk with Emily & Mason about some very important things. We all prayed for Hallie and her family daily. Emily was able to ask a lot of questions about God. I am so thankful to the Green's for letting my family be apart of their journey. They are truly amazing!

Mason's Preschool Program

Mason's preschool had it's Christmas program last week. I was nervous because I wasn't sure how he would do. We were all sitting and waiting and his class came in. I could see his little face at the back of the church. His eyes were full of tears and his face looked terrified. He was dressed as a Shepard and was just adorable. They sent the shepherd's and angels down one by one. Mason made it half down with tears rolling down his face. When he saw me he really lost it. I scooped him up and sat him on my lap. He covered his ear with one hand and held on for dear life with the other. Most parents giggled or "awwwwed" at him. They had no idea what my poor little guy was going through. I let him stay with me until it was over. We went up to the front so I could get some pictures. Once we were back in his classroom he knew he was in the "safe zone." Maybe next year will be a little better.

Mason's Finished Gift

Well here it is :)

Mason's Gift

I took pictures of Mason last night signing "I Love You." I am going to put each letter in a frame and then attach the frames to a bracket to make one long picture. I am going to give it to my mom & of course one for me :) Then I am going to do the same thing but with just the word "Love" for his therapist. When I get the frames done I will post the finished product!

Where in the World is Buddy the Elf?

Our mischievous elf Buddy returned to the Adams house Friday morning. The kids are SO into him this year. Every morning they wake up it's like Christmas. The run down stairs look to see what kind of trouble buddy has gotten in :) Here are just a few.
