Happy 4th of July & Happy Birthday Mason!!!!!

Happy Birthday Mason!!!!!

6 years ago we were off to the hospital and everyone (meaning my parents & mitchel) thought it was funny to watch me climb up into Mitchel's truck. So glad I don't have to do that anymore!

Oh I can't believe my baby is turning 6 years old today!!!!This is one birthday I will never forget. I had been in labor all night of the 3rd and all day of the 4th. About 9:30 pm at night my husband Mitchel, my Mom & step Dad, the Doctor & 2 nurses were all looking out the window oooohing over the fire works they could see in the sky. Meanwhile I am strickened to my lovely hospital bed feeling like I am going to die and I get so mad. I start yelling at everyone saying "Hey I'm over here!!!! I'll give you a fire work show!!! Pay attention to me I'm about to deliver a baby here!!!!" At 10:34 pm 4th of July Mason Jay Allen was born (3 weeks early) weighing 6 lbs 12 oz, 20 1/2 inch long.

Mason thinks fire works are for him & his Birthday. We have already been through so much in these short 6 years with Mason. He for sure wins the accident prone child award. Out of my kids he is the one that truely makes me the most nervous. He broke his leg at 2yrs old. He got shot in the head at 3 years old by a flare gun. It amazes me that he can be so coordinated at sports like, snow boarding, gymnastics, motorcycle riding yet when walking down the street he will trip & fall on his face. He is the one that comes in crying because he fell or bonked his head etc. He is a super funny guy and loves to make people laugh. He is so out going compared the my other kids. I am so grateful Mitch & I finally decided that two was not enough and that Mason completes our family so very well!!!!

I know everyone says "oh time goes by so fast" and you think Yeah , Yeah , but then you look back and your like "where did the time go?" I am amazed that 6 years has gone by already and I hope and pray many more, but maybe just a bit slower.....They really do grow up so fast!!! What a sweet boy I have and I am so thankful and very blessed!!!!!
