I don’t usually make New Year’s resolutions, but I’ve got a couple this year.  And one of them is getting back to weekly blog posts!  I don’t know if anyone even reads this blog anymore, but I still enjoy going back and looking at old posts.  Especially now that these baby boys are giants and look more like men than babies 🥹 so for my own future self, I gotta do better!

I still can’t figure out how to post pictures in order.  And at this point, I don’t care, just as long as they all post.  Can’t tell you how many times I’ve downloaded pictures only to have them disappear.  I’ll take what I can get!!

First camping trip of 2025

I remember before they took off, Mason promised me he was going to stay out of the water.  We happened to be on a walk and looked over and saw this:

Yeah.  Promise not kept, that’s mason bent over in the drink 😆

Mason and Harper working on their tans.  

Oh teenagers 😂

Mason’s last field trip in elementary school

Fifth grade graduation!

All of the Naught Niners with their mama’s!  These boys gave us all MANY gray hairs during their elementary school tenure.  

 And the Naughty Niners with their favorite principal, Mr. Midge.  He gave them their nickname but I’m pretty sure he thoroughly enjoyed them!

Mason with his 5th grade teacher, Mrs Gessner

These are out of order, but Mason walking across the stage for his 5th grade diploma drew many laughs.  Because Mason was in Mr. Midge’s office more than the rest of the Niners.  Because of behavior but also because he legit just liked hanging out with Mr. Midge.  So of course they had to do an extra special handshake went Mason’s name was called.
