Where did time go?

When I realized the last time I blogged before Mason's blog I was amazed that it had been October. I thought I would do a recap of the past several months!

October
  • Logan had a bad crash on his dirt bike. Mr. Evel Knievel...aka Logan, landed a jump wrong, or very badly I might add. He was going pretty darn fast and flipped his bike. Logan had a mild concussion and broken collarbone. God definitely protected him from further harm!

  • We had a beautiful fall, the leaves were spectacular!


November
  • Mason hunted with his bow and got his first buck. The only deer we have in the freezer this year! Hopefully next year will be better. We had such a warm fall that the deer just didn't move much even during shotgun season.

December

  • Cut down a beautiful Christmas tree
  • made lots of cookies...some here and some with my sister Karen in Iowa
  • Celebrated the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

January 2012
  • We ushered in a new year
  • had a family reunion at our home..my sister Caroline and my dad couldn't make it
  • finished a quilt
  • added Barley Bear to our family (Standard Male Poodle)
  • took a weekend trip to Chicago

February
  • helped my big sister Karen celebrate her 50th
  • waited and waited for the arrival of Sydney's Golden Retriever puppies...all 11 of them!
  • received a beautiful snow, it didn't last long though


March

  • watched the puppies grown and found homes for all 11 of them
  • anxiously awaited spring to arrive, was so excited for the first robins to appear
  • celebrated Mason's 16th birthday

16 for Mason


I haven't blogged for months but I couldn't let one of the kids birthdays go by without writing one! Mason turned 16 years old today. It is hard to believe such a milestone has arrived. He will be able to get his drivers license in a few months. At least I have a few more months without worrying! He does do a very good job of driving and I don't feel as nervous as I once was! It is hard to believe that my little boy that once pushed himself around on a Little Tykes car will be driving a real car!! Mason is turning into a wonderful young man, we are so proud of him! Happy 16th Birthday Mason!
