Today was Mason's 1st day of 1st grade.  It was a big moment in both of our lives.  6 hours at school is a LONG time.  I was a little worried that he would lose it at some point.  I dropped him off this morning and he was all smiles.  All of the kids lined up in the back of the school.  When the bell rang,  he turned around and waved and walked into the school with the rest of the class.  All day, anytime the phone would ring, I would be afraid it was the school calling to tell me that something is wrong and Mason is crying.  The call never came.

At 3:00, he was out in front of the school smiling and waiting for me.  It was a good day!  The first things out of his mouth were "I can cross the whole way on the monkey bars!" and "There is a boy named Ben and a boy named Logan (wogan) in my class" and finally "1st grade is 50 thousand, 10 million minutes long!"

Good Times

I'm trying harder to start to record the things we are doing everyday.  I want so badly to remember the moments we are having daily with our sweet little kiddos. 

Last night we got to go camping with our ward campout.  It was a quick little overnight and we weren't allowed to bring our trailer because there wasn't enough room in our spot. But... it ended up being so much fun.  Olivia was hilarious.  When she gets tired, she gets really hyper.  We all got in the tent and were squished shoulder to shoulder in the dark.  Olivia didn't know what to think because she always goes to bed alone in her room.  She loved the fact that we were all in this tiny little tent and thought it was time to wrestle and attack us all. Especially her daddy.  I loved laying there in the dark with my sweet little family listen to Tess prattle along about anyting and everything that comes into her head.  I loved listening to Mason repeat over and over that he loves me "this much".  I loved my little crazy 2 year old with her little blonde curls jumping and growling on us in the tent.  I loved to see my cute husband smile and laugh at his crazy children.  It.... was... the.... best.
