Mason turns 5!!!

 The boys have taken an interest in my camera!  It seems nothing of Mommy's is sacred (hahaha).

 Mason requested mini strawberry cupcakes with strawberry frosting.  We both loves these!

Time for presents!!!!

Mason got his Leatherman just like Brandon did when he turned five!

Yay, I am five.

my little ninja turtle!

I can't believe my little guy is already five years old!  Where the heck has the time gone?  Let's see, what are some of my favorite Masonisms....

"I love you to the moon and back"
He insists on waving goodbye to us and eery visit that stops by
He has a "good-bye" routine: kiss, hug, high five, fist bump

favorite food: slurpy noodles, strawberries, blackberries, goldfish crackers, cottage cheese, and Eegee's, chocolate chip morsels
favorite show: PAW patrol, Miles from Tomorrow land, Ninja Turtles
favorite color: "red, orange, green, blue, I'd pick red the most."
favorite book: The Llama Llama series (but he loves to be read to, so just about any book will do!)
Favorite toy: his new bow, Ninja Turtles
Friends: Luke Thome, Austin Steward, and he still often talks about Declan although it has been a year since we have seen him
current extracurricular activities: Goldfish level at Demont Swim school, Jamboree soccer at AYSO

Mason had his 5 yr well check with Dr Gloudeman's.  He is right on track and is still trending in his growth curve, go figure!  He passed his vision and hearing test and was given a flu shot (since they were out of the flu mist!).  He already had his kinder shots last year!
ht: 47 inches (97%ile)
wt: 56.5lbs (97%ile)

Mason loves to be active, he always seems to be in motion right up to the moment he finally falls asleep!  He seems to not need near as much sleep as Brandon or us for that matter.  He loves to be outside and can be found hunting for lizards or creating weapons out of sticks.  I am pretty sure he will be a great hunter just like Daddy when he gets older but for now he is still Momma's little shadow.  He loves to snuggle, to read books, and he to ride his bike. He likes to help bake goodies but isn't as fond of the cooking shows as Brandon and I.
Mason is doing well in preschool with Mrs. Pegnam.  He is working on writing his first and last name and learning to write the letters of the alphabet.  He seems to like school but doesn't seem as interested as Brandon did at this age.
