Mason

May was a pretty crazy month for us and though it was difficult the boys did their best to help us take it all instride. Mason was an especially helpful trooper and has tried not to hold it against us that we spent the week of his birthday in the hospital causing the delay on certain special birthday traditions like our one-on-one date the night where he gets to stay up as late as he wants, his brothers doing all of his chores for him, and a few other things like presents since I have not had the opportunity to get him anything yet. With our lives so busy Mason was great about it all and I really appreciate all that he sacrificed on his special day so that we could take care of Jer... We love you Mason!!

Emma and Katie's Cheer Competition

So tonight I had the opportunity to see a couple of my Young Women at Church in a State Cheerleading Competition for their school. Emma and Katie's team the 'Bethel Bulldogs' did great! Their team took 1st place... I thought that they looked pretty cool but I really don't know much about cheerleading... So you can see in the video for yourself if you would like!!!

I Need My Monster

So I just couldn't resist a quick post about my new favorite kids book... A friend from our ward at church wrote this great kids story about a little boy who misses his monster from under the bed... Now I know what you're thinking Tab has a friend who wrote a book and now wants us to believe it is actually good... well while I understand how usually we just 'humor' our friends and their 'cute' little projects I assure you that this is definitely not the case this time... I had a chance to sneak peak it about a month ago and bought it last week on Amazon and have read it to the boys probably once everyday since I got it... so basically I am saying this book is great, the story is great, the illustrations are just amazing and I highly recommend you all add it to your collection!!!
