Ruger Grant Norton

Here is Shane and Siboneys lates baby Ruger. Mason had just hurt his mouth the day before so he has a very funny smile going on.

This is a picture of all the kids together. It was hard to get one of them looking the same direction. So this is the best we could get.

They blessed him on the first Sunday of March and so we were all able to go except Brandt who had to work.

MASON'S TOOTH

Mason and Chase were running around the house and Mason put a blanket over his head to scare Chase. Mason had been doing this for awhile when I said to stop before Chase gets hurt.(accident child) The next thing I know Mason is running to me crying and blood is coming every where. He had hit the piano with his mouth. (Darren is of course gone to a scout thing in Flagstaff.) I look at his mouth and this is what I see.........

I didn't know what to do so I first called Mason's dentist Mitzi who is in our ward. I called her at home and left a message, hoping she'd call back. I still didn't know what to do so I call another dentist in town who goes to a different ward and talked to his wife because he was out of town. Finally Mitzi calls back and she lets us come to her house and she puts it back into place. His gums above the tooth are black and blue and she said that the tooth might turn grey. I was proud of myself being home alone to not freak out as much as I usually do. I think that I am getting used to the idea if I hear someone crying there probably is blood. His mouth is very sore and his lip is really swollen but this photo just doesn't get the real affect. I am thankful that she was able to fix it and Mason was able to be really brave because he wanted his dad. I just hope that this doesn't happen again.

HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS

We went to the Harlem Globetrotters in Prescott on March 4. It was alot of fun!!!

We kept watching Mason during the show because he wouldn't laugh or anything. We kept telling him that they are being funny and then he would pretend and laugh. We finally figured out that he was not wanting to miss anything that he was just concentrating. We thought that he would really like it since he loves going to the Suns games and just loves basketball. Ron and Marlene came and we all really enjoyed it. Thanks to them for coming just for the show. Chase did really well till the last 30 min when he started to get tired. On the way home Mason said, "that he wants to go back about a 1,000 times."

Snow again...

We took the kids up to the mountains the other day since it had just snowed and it is a 15 min drive. Chase had never played in it so we weren't to sure how he would like it........ BUT....... He loved it! He would lay his face in the snow to eat it and then just fall on the ground. Mason getting ready to through a snow ball at me........

SNOW ANGEL TIME!

Mason made a slide down the hill and we all had slick pants on so we went really fast. Here is Chase doing it, He kept wanting to go and go......

Mason decided to try going upside down..........

We stayed up there for about 2 1/2 hours and none of us ever got cold. The kids enjoyed it alot and it was a way for us to spend time as a family and no one complaining. We love the snow and that we live so close to it but don't have to shovel our driveways.

I liked these pictures of Chase ....... When he gets his picture taken he will now say CHEESE..... (we are making a little progress with his talking) Chase loves to eat chips and knows that he needs to eat on the tile, so he sat right down when I got them out.

The boys got this new toy and they played for about an hour together without fighting.

I just wanted to remember that my kids can play nice together, even if it was because they had a new toy to share.

LATELY......

We haven't really done anything fun lately but I thought I would just upload some of the pictures that I have of the boys. This was Chase doing the frisbee like a hat and singing. He thought that he was so funny with that frisbee on his head. Mason has had his friend Spencer over to play with. They are being COPS!

We went to see his cousin Remy and there new baby Ruger.

Chase playing in the grass

Then Mason got new golf clubs and went golfing with his dad. They enjoy going golfing together and Mason has alot of fun.

This time golfing Feb 19 Darren took Mason to the golf course and they were driving in the golf cart when Mason fell out.(he wasn't sitting very well on the cart) Darren then couldn't stop the cart and ran over mason's leg. Mason wasn't hurt but now it is one of our funny stories. I just wanted to remember it for the future.

Chase and Mason both got colds but Mason's only lasted a week but Chase got a double ear infection again and is still fighting the cold. Mason is still enjoying going to preschool. His favorite part is lunch bunch and gymnastic time. Chase hasn't hurt himself for awhile now. We are still keeping our fingers crossed that nothing happens. I always get nervous when he falls just know that I will see blood. Otherwise the boys are starting to play better together and get along more.

The BIG SNOW STORM

A little while back when we had the big snow storm we took the kids to play in it. On the drive to Mingus moutain we could not see nothing but the white. So instead of pulling over and hoping that no one would hit us we followed the snow plow to Prescott and go to Target to get some stuff and let Mason play in the snow there. They were able to throw snowballs......

While Chase and I stayed warm in the truck......Chase ate a snowball that they made for him

On our way home the snow was still deep and a car had tried to go over the mountain without chains and got stuck so we were stopped for an hour and they finally got it out when the snow plow decided to go in front of all of us to get the roads clear when it got stuck. They asked for shovels and we just happened to have one.

Darren walking back.....He left his coat in the car..... So he was frozen

We were stopped for about 2 hours and the kids were wanting to play in the snow but we were afraid if we got them out to play in the snow the traffic would be ready to go. So by the time we got moving the kids fell asleep. But when we got home we asked Mason if he had fun and he did. So it was a good day.
