Mason's Birthday!

Mason turned 10 years old yesterday! It seems hard to believe that my sweet little boy is already that old. I was induced with him on December 22 because I didn't want to have him on Christmas Day which was my due date. Christmas that year ten years ago was one of the best having a sweet little spirit so fresh from heaven. Mason has and still is a sweet spirited boy. Jon and I often say that it's good that we only have one because he is such a good boy. He is the best son I could ask for! For his birthday he had breakfast in bed which included his favorite breakfast food, bacon. He then played all day while his sisters and I did all the Saturday chores. (Morgan was not too happy about that!) That evening we ate homemade calazones, drank his favorite pop and watched the BYU Cougs win their bowl game in a nail biting finish! Way to go Cougars!!! We then took the family to ColdStone for their choice is Ice Cream. Mason had a great day and will also get his friend birthday party on January 4th! Mason is very responsible. He always does his homework and is very proud of the fact that he has never missed an assignment. His favorite subject in school is math and he does pretty well in this area. He loves basketball and is currently on a team with some of his bball friends. One day I was looking at my DVR recordings and saw that Mason had recorded a NBA game. When I asked him about this he said that he wanted to watch all the games. I then informed him that there were way too many games to watch and there will always be a game to watch so he doesn't need to record them. Right now he doesn't have a favorite team but he's excited to goto a Blazer game this spring! Santa gave him an early present. He loves to play guitar hero with Morgan, have nerf gun wars with Brooklyn and is constantly taking care of Brinley & Maddie. Both of the little girls just adore him! Brinley constantly asks if its a school night because if it's not she gets to sleep with him. And one of Maddie's first words was "Honey" which is what she calls Mason. Mason still wants me to always be the last one to tuck him in at night and sing him his favorite song "Here comes the Sandman(we call it the baby song)" Mason also loves to play games. He's always trying to play any board game with anyone and he also loves his video games. Mason is a typical 10 year old. Loves to play with his friends, play games, ride bikes, and tease his siblings. We love him dearly and are so glad that we have such a great son!
