Playing Catch up!

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything I feel like I have lost almost a year of my life and am in a fog with some things going on. But, I have to just brag about my sweet little kids who keep me going. Sometimes they keep me going straight to the nut house? But, usually the keep me laughing and are amazing examples to me. Laken, started Kindergarten this year I still can not believe 5 years has already flown by and that she is in school. :( My baby is growing up way too fast. She loves Kindergarten and everyday is so excited to come home and tell me how many new friends she has made, even though she has no idea what her new friends names are they are still her new best friends :)

I'm a bad mom and with all the craziness of life I did not take a picture of Mason on his first day of school :( He started a week earlier than Laken so I totally dropped the ball on that! OOPS! I have to say how proud I am of that sweet little boy. Last week was a hard week I had some serious medical scares. One of them being that they thought I was having a stroke. The Paramedics were called and they raced me to the hospital. I don't remember the whole ordeal because I was in and out of it for a while but, I do remember in the very beginning Mason came to stand next to me while my mom was calling 911 and he started to cry and said "Are you going to die?" I told him no I was not going to die. And then told him that I loved him so much. Meanwhile I was scared to death not sure I have ever been so scared in all my life? Later I remember I was in a room in the ER and there were about 15 people(the stroke team) all racing around doing things to me. I remember all of a sudden hearing Mason's voice and I just kept saying "I am so sorry buddy, I love you so much!" And that little 8 year old boy came and stood at the head of my bed and said "Mom, it is ok everything is going to be alright, You are going to be fine. I said a prayer and I know you will be fine because Heavenly Father loves you very much and is going to take care of you." WOW what a little guardian angel. Mason, I am so extremely proud of you and you manage to blow my mind constantly with your amazing faith and example.
This was taken a few days before school started. We went and saw the play "Suessical" which was alot of fun and the kids loved! Mason, in your short little life of 8 years you have had to endure numerous things that nobody should really have to endure. Yet you do it with a smile and you always show such amazing power and faith. You truly are one of my biggest hero's!!!! I am so lucky to be a mom to such great kids!
