First Game, First Sport

 Time for T-Ball

Mason is finally old enough (in mapleton city) to play a sport!!! We signed him up for Summer T-ball and he had his first game last saturday! It was a HOT day and the kids attention spans were super short however they did so good and Mason was a trooper... except for the part where is was playing second base and decided to sit down... on the base and yelled "mom, bring me a snack, please" Everyone was cracking up. Nice Mason, way to focus! I guess at least he said Please;) 

He was definitely a beginner, when he hit the ball instead of running to first base he ran after the ball and tried to pick it  up! It was so funny! I'm so proud of him for trying and I'm so excited to see him get better and to see if he even like t-ball. 

It was neat to see one of my kids in their first sporting event. We just used to having really young kids so its fun to experience the next phrase with Mason!

Way to go Diamondbacks:) 

Annual Walk

Every May on Birthday Mother's Day (the day before Mother's Day) we help put on a Walk with FSA called Adoption Celebration Walk! Every year its a little different and every year we see new families there that have been blessed by adoption! Its such a neat day for our family! We love celebrating it with our kids and with our closest friends who are also 'blessed' by adoption!

My favorite part every year is the "Balloon Release" Each child release gets to one for their Birth-parents and the Birth-parents there release one for their child. Its sweet and a tad emotional! 

I love that we adopted in this day and age and that our children can celebrate their journey and not hide it!

Birthday Boy

Aiden 3rd Birthday Party

For Aiden's birthday party this year we let him invite two friends (which he naturally choose 'his girl' addy and his bbf Dax) and his cousins. We went to the nickle arcade then to the park for cupcakes! It was a fun day and much less windy then last year at the park for his birthday! The kids loved the arcade and the adults could hardly keep up with them:)

I can't believe Aid is 3! He's such a cute stinker and I'm so happy to be his mom!
Thank you to everybody that came and celebrated with us!

Kangaroo Zoo

Tatie's Visit

Tatie (Aiden's birthmom Darcie) came down a week or so before Aiden birthday to Celebrate him turning 3! We love our visits with Tatie! She is so great with the kids and I love catching up with her! Each birthmom is almost like a little sister to me and I love hearing all about their lives & love interests:) 

This time we decided to meet at Kangaroo Zoo and the kids loved it!  Me and Tatie tried to keep up with the boys while Seth entertained Miss Shay! 

Afterward we went to Red Mango and Tatie surprised Aiden with a CARS scooter! The kid was in heaven! She is so good to him! I especially love when Aiden has an Aiden moment in front of her and I can finally laugh and say "yeah, thanks for that." She jokes and tells me to buckle down that her stubbornness is yet to go away even in her 20's! :)  

We have such a neat relationship with her and we love that!

She's amazing and we can't wait to make many more memories:)
