Busy times!!!

Things have been quite hectic around Mason's house these days. Seems like every other day we are having to clean house for people to come and look at it...but nobody wants it! :-( Ugh. Lots of effort to no avail. This "house cleaning" is why I missed blog night last week, then I just got busy and it was the weekend. Sorry.

Friday night at 9:22 p.m., we became aunt and uncle all over again. Ayden Grace Wyatt, 5 lb. 5 oz., 19" was born in Tyler, TX. Mama and baby are doing well and went home today from the hospital. I listed her "name," but it has been kicked around more than a soccer ball at a World Cup match. It could have changed since I was told?!?!?! She was a sleeping beauty when I got to see her yesterday. Never made a peep.

God kind of had everything worked out this weekend. I had plans to play football in Dallas Saturday and Sunday. Amber had a sister in the hospital, and Mason went to spend time with mom and dad who left on Sunday for a cruise. So, we all went our seperate ways and met back up on Sunday after lunch. While I was away for 30 hrs., Mason must have figured out what his Lego's were for. Amber said I had to look at the camera and see the picture Mason wanted taken.

He was so proud of his "sky scraper" that he wanted Amber to "take a picture to show daddy." He really did a good job. Amber said he built the entire thing himself and she had to pick him up to put the last few on.

When he woke up from his nap he wanted daddy to take a picture with him next to the sky scraper....then mama also!

Mason is getting tall...and heavy. You can see how tall his is when he is standing next to me sitting on the ground. I bought him some shoes Thursday and he is already in a size 8. Yes, I did get him another pair of "bling-bling" shoes! Sometimes we get flustered at Mason's hard headed nature and rebellion as a two year old. But when I step back and look at the larger picture, we are blessed with a wonderful little person that is so full of joy and ENERGY and wants to share it all with us. What more could you want?

He wanted to know last week why Jesus died...and where was heaven? What a marvelous thing to ask about and want to know...even as a 2 1/2 year old. We have never made a point to discuss Jesus and heaven with him yet, but we have always been honest when asked about the cross at church or other spiritual questions. So now he knows that Jesus died for our sins and that heaven is where we go to be with Jesus after we live on earth for a long time. :-) Tough questions to answer in 2 1/2 year old terms.

Well, I have shared all that I know. I hope you all have a wonderful week!
