Turning Six

Mason was pretty excited for his birthday this year since he had two parties. Sunday evening we had family over.



We got him a bow and arrow that he's been wanting for quite some time.

And a set of left handed golf clubs. He had a toy golf club set, but it was getting to small and it was right handed. This one will last for quite a few years.

He wanted Star Wars this year and choose a light saber cake.

Monday was Masons actual birthday and he had a couple of his friends over. I made them all jedi robes and light sabers.

I also made a Death Star pinata.

Recent knitting projects

I love these knitted baby cardigans. They were so easy to make and I think they turned out quite cute. This one was for my cousin's new baby girl and the boys picked out the yarn.

And this one was for my dear friend Ann's new baby boy Rylan.

Halloween

Mason had a couple of Halloween parties this week. Here he went to DeeAnne's.

At storytime they also had one.

Then tonight we went trick-or-treating. The last stop was my parents. I had to get a picture with my mom too.

Happy Halloween!

Canning Peaches

Yesterday my neighbors and I canned 65 quarts of peaches in two hours. There were eight of us including Boston and Mason. It inspired me to can more. However, canning by myself won't be near as fun and it will take so much longer.

Back To School

Boston's first day of fourth grade.

Here are some pictures of our summer that went by way to fast.

Mason's 5th birthday

I can hardly believe my youngest is five years old. He wanted a pirate hat and pirate ship for his cake this year. Here are some pictures from his birthday party.

New Addition to Our Family

Abby, our airedale ran away again. She kept jumping out of her pen when we were at work. This time no one returned her to us or the pound. So, Adam had to get another dog. This time he got a yellow lab, a hunting dog. She is eight weeks and is a cutie. But this potty training is much harder with her than it was with my boys!
