Fun weekend!

We had such a great weekend. Saturday was spent with a couple of my friends doing an 'Open House' for our direct sales companies, and we had such a great time. It was nice to 'hang out' outside of my home for a day :).

Then Sunday, today, is Mason's 3rd birthday. 3 years ago, at 5:54pm, our 2nd little man came into this world...pink in color...then red in color...then jaundice in color...and he had this sweet little whimper cry. He was so quiet we could hardly hear him in the hospital! I remember laying there in the hospital bed looking at him, and thinking 'that's all you got??'!

Then we went home, only to come back to the hospital for 3 more days due to his jaundice. Poor kid. He got to lay in his 'tanning bed' for 3 whole days, with funny little glasses on. It was horrible at the time, but now that I look back I just thank God for the medical advances there are! We are so lucky he was ok...he had jaundice really bad. He even had a jaundice buddy laying in a 'tanning bed' across the room. Although the other baby actually looked like a baby because he only weighed 6lbs and some ounces. Mason, on the other hand, looked like a toddler in his 'tanning bed' weighing in at 9lbs 10oz. It was funny to compare the 2. Anyways, the nurses were fantastic and Brian and I were lucky enough to be able to stay in the hospital because they had a lot of extra rooms. Plus, we were so lucky to have Grandparents to help with Evan so much while we were in the hospital.

3 years later, we now have a typical goofy 3 year old that loves to laugh, dance, sing, play, jump, climb, and make us laugh. He is so hilarious and he is so sweet. He loves to share stories and be read to. He also loves his cartoons and to play outside. We have our hands full with him, but I can't complain. We have 3 healthy and happy boys and it couldn't get any better!

Happy Birthday Mason!!!
