We had a picnic lunch at our house with the Howards (Daniel's older sister and her family). We did a little egg hunt for the kids. It was a blast and might I add the food was AMAZING. I'm just giving myself a nice little pat on the back for that. The best by far were the mini carrot cakes. Yum Yum.
If you can't tell by the progression of these pictures, Mason liked his new swimming pool a little too much. He was very excited to find his own way into it which as you can see led to the pool being on Mason not Mason being in the pool.
Its cute and all but it did take him a couple of minutes to figure out what on earth had happened and why he was suddenly in the dark. Daniel was kind enough to get him out before he started crying but we were already crying from laughing so hard.
Mason has definately brought joy into our lives over these past 6 months. It seems like he was always here but were are so happy to have him.
The "Eather Bunny" stopped by our house and left Mason a swimming pool and tug boats to play with this summer. He also brought mommy and daddy new swim suits so we can play in the pool too. I know Mason doesn't understand yet what all of this means but he sure did seem exited to see surprises waiting for him in the morning.

Daniel and I teach the 8 year old primary class, the one in which the kids are going to be baptized. Mason loves to be in the class with all the big kids. He seems to think he's 8. He has a lot of fun with all the kids. He has even began a little bit to understand what it means when we say prayer. When I say "It's time for prayer Mason, fold your arms" he doesn't fold his arms but he does stay really quite until I say "Amen" then he makes a little coo sound. He is such a special boy and we feel so blessed that he finally decided to come join our family. We love you all and miss you so much. Brett and Melissa; you are in our prayers. Until next time...Adios.

We taught the 8 year olds (me for a year and a half...Adam for a few months) until about a month ago. They are a cool group to teach...and kind of a handful. I don't think I'd be able to keep all the kids under control if I had a baby there with me...kudos.
Mason is so cute! We loved the pictures of Mason with the pool. Thats nice that you have family so close by to spend time with. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers. Brett had a hospital from Washington and a hospital in Boise contact him today to tell him that they want to interview him. We're exctied to be able to be closer to family some day. We miss you guys. Hopefully we'll be back out for the 4th of July, and this time with Brett.
