First day of KINDERGARTEN 8-4-10

Today was a big day for Mason he started Kindergarten. I can't believe my little baby is growing up so fast. We went yesturday to the preview day and he was really nervous holding my hand and not letting go. Then today I was a little emotional and then before we left he started to cry but didn't want us to know that he was crying. Then we get to school and he sees some friends who are first graders and then he goes to his class puts his backpack up and then just runs off playing. Darren called him over to tell him by and then we left and he didn't even notice that we were leaving. (probably a good thing) They go all day at Clarkdale from 8:15 - 2:30 Chase wanted to stand by Mason

Showing off the backpack

Here is our family. Not sure what Chase was doing looking up

My grandparents haven't been up here for a while and came up to visit and so we took a photo before we all went our seperate ways.

My mom came with my grandparents

Mason sitting at his desk

Off he goes to play!

One last trip before school starts

My parents decided to have us all get together one last time before school starts for everyone: So we stayed in a hotel and went swimming! This picture was taken the day the boys got their goggles. I just thought it was a cute one. Chase learned to jump in and go under water.............

Mason got so brave he started to dive in and swim, even though he had us buy him a life jacket he didn't hardly wear it.

Grandpa and Siboney & her kids

We went to the Krispy Kreme Place and mason loved watching them make them

Chase won't get his hands dirty so this was how he ate his donut

We gave Addy pepsi with out her parents knowing. She would walk by us and then just put her mouth on the straw and then hold it herself.

We then went and saw Aubrey, Ben and Zane and Aubrey's parents. The boys liked getting to know Zane.

We had alot of fun and Loved seeing all of our cousins and Grandparents.

Brotherly Love

These boys are starting to get along alot better and Chase is wanting to be just like Mason. We are going to miss Mason when he goes to kindergarten on Aug. 4. They go all day which Mason is excited for.

Fishing 7-19-10

Darren's parent were going fishing up a Woods Canyon Lake near Payson and invited us to go. We went up on Sunday night and then fished on Monday. All Mason wanted to do was cast the fishing pole in water but when your on a boat you don't do that so we then went on the edge of the lake and he got to cast the pole in and out of the water.

Chase hated having to put the life jacket on but this one picture he was smiling and I thought he really looks like he is having fun.

Mason and Ron caught a fish!

The boys enjoyed the mountains and playing in the dirt.

Darren's birthday!

Darren turned "30" on 7-19-10 we decided to celebrate his birthday on the weekend with my parents.

We love it when we have visitors come and always sad when they leave. We went on Friday for Darren's birthday to the Freedom Station in Prescott and played miniture golf, bumber cars, and Mason even did rock climbing. It was a lot of fun.

Mason and his climbing

Mason loves to climb and he is very strong.... Today he wanted to show me how he can walk up the wall.....

This is one way Mason stays in shape!

Happy Fathers Day 6-21-10

This year for fathers day we did it on Saturday night because Darren has early morning meetings on Sunday and then he was going to go meet with his family to go fishing the next day. Mason wanted to get him a flashlight because it came with 2 and he wanted the blue one. Chase gave Darren some tools. We had cupcakes and Chase wanted to sing Happy Birthday so we changed it to Happy Fathers day.
