Ok, these pictures are coming in out of order AGAIN!  

Mason in the camo hat on the float, chucking candy as hard as he can at me and Kade.  I don’t remember much of this homecoming parade but I remember that hurt! 😂

Oh boy , Bubba behind the wheel.  Coming sooner than I want!

Mason and Harper

Mason’s 6th grade football team got to play on the varsity turf, under the lights, on a Saturday night last fall.  It is such a highlight for the kids and so fun to watch!!  

His good buddy, Charlie

Like I said, pictures out of order but here’s a few shots of the game.

Kade on the left in maroon t shirt. Erik and Mason in the middle

Kade and Erik after one of Kade’s fall ball games 

Mason’s fall ball team, last fall.  Unfortunately he’s not playing this year because he still doesn’t have clearance for his elbow!  We find out next week (should be all clear) just in time for the start of his football season!

Mason’s 6th grade football team picture 

He did not hook himself but he wanted me to send this picture to grandma to trick her….it worked.

I wasn’t sure if I should post all of the pictures but mason and I were target shooting with his pellet guns.  I’m a very bad shot, and he let me know! 😆 I think he was making fun of me in this picture pretending to need binoculars to see where my bullet hit 

On their way up north over MEA to hunt and fish for a week!

Kade with his uncle Jeremy 

 These pictures loaded backwards onto this post.  

I’m currently sitting  in the backseat again as we drive home from a baseball tournament for Kade, this time it was in Milwaukee.  No better time than to slowly but surely catch up on my posts!

I’m not even sure what this first picture is from.  I think it was a birthday dinner for Tyeson 🤷‍♀️

Kade’s fall ball team from last fall 2025.

This is basically the same kids he’s playing with this summer.

Mason’s buddies/baseball team from last summer 2025 at an end of season party

Like I said, these are out of order.

But these are pictures from Mason’s 5/6 grade football season (fall 2025).

Nibble and Bubba!

Mason and one of his best gals, Trixie 

On their way to their first day of school fall 2025.  Kade even let Mason walk with him and his buddies!  It was Mason’s first year at the high school and he felt pretty cool walking in with the older boys.

First day of 9th grade and 6th grade

Last August Kade got his permit (hard to believe he’s getting his license next month already!)

Mason with his other best gal, Lola

I’m not quite 1 year behind 😂

But in a few weeks we’ll be taking his 16th birthday picture 

I’m currently sitting in the backseat behind Erik and Kade as we drive home from Kade’s baseball tournament in Kansas City.  Dawned on me I haven’t done a post in a while and I have a few hours to kill.

Still in Summer 2025

Took a break from baseball to enjoy Eyota Days!

Mason and his buddy Charlie watching Kade (behind Mase) play in a beanbag tournament.

Ope!  Mason got recruited to play!  He didn’t do too bad!

Popcorn and fireworks 

They cheered on their buddy Nyle who ran a 5k

Parade time at Porter’s driveway

Mason played in a 3:3 basketball tournament with his buddies 

A few days later and we’re back in the ER 😩

Scooter accident.

I think he ended up with 6 stitches in one knee and 3 in the other ?  And decent sized road rash.  This kid 🫣

VR games while they put in stitches

Right before his end of year tournament.  He was just the super fan those games.

The players and their mommies ☺️

A few days later and his road rash looked like a pig snout 

Kade playing in an end of season All Star tournament 

His team was made up of the top players in teams in their division 

Mason helped coach 😂

I think they got 2nd?  I can’t remember 😆

I wanted to hold the trophy.  Kade thought otherwise.  It’s so easy to get that kid worked up 😆

Grandma was trying to touch the trophy too
