New to Blogger!

Well I see that everyone has one of these blogger pages, so I guess i am going to try. It seems fun and a great way to share whats been going on with our family to everyone without having to send a million of pictures by email everytime. So what i have posted in May below have really not happened in May, I just did not want an empty page. More sackett Family Adventures to come!!

Jungle gym party.

One of our friends in our ward had a birthday party for thier daughter at a jungle gym. We were hesistant at first, thinking what could Mason do at a jungle gym, that maybe they had something for little ones to play with. But to our amazement again, Mason plowed through the gym just fine. Scott went with him and was getting tired, and Mason kept going all by himself. He loved it! He also loved the fact that his friends were doing it too. He was now a big boy doing things with the big kids! That made him real happy. He wants to be big so bad. I am just not ready for him to grow up so fast.

A day in the park

Mason loved the day at the park. We went to Lafrenier Park one weekend I did not have to work and flew kites. Of course we lost all the kites in the trees. One kite got away and snagged on a tree, and the tree was flying it because the kite was so high in the air.
Mason was also learning to stand up on his own with out holding on to something. He would only stand if you gave him something to hold on to. As you see in this case it is a Mountain Dew bottle.




At the park they had a playground with swings and slides and a lake. Mason loved the swings and we were to scarred to let him go down the slide by himself so we went with him. He really didn't care for the slide as much as he loved the swings.



Scott of course went and tried to fish in the lake. Always has his Handy Dandy Fishing Pole in the trunk of his car for emergencies. But without bait, of course he did not catch anything. All in all it was a productive outing at the park. A lot of Mason's first happened that day!

Happy Easter

This was Mason's first Easter. In the morning the Easter bunny came and visited Mason. He left him an Easter basket full of candy, which Mason shared with Mommy and Daddy, and a large ball and two dinosaurs. Later that morning we held an Easter Egg Hunt Barb B Q for our friends in our ward. It was colder than usual, especially for Louisiana. Mason helped hide the eggs. He collected a lot of eggs.






Mason wasn't the only one who had fun! Scott and I colored eggs and hid them around the house giving each other only 5 minutes to find them all. We had inscribed things we wanted on the eggs as rewards for those found. Such rewards as 10 minute back rub, free car wash, 1 hour xbox game, and a $50.00 shopping spree. Mason loved looking at all the different eggs colors. It was a great Easter!

Take me out to the ballgame.

Mason's first Baseball game! He had a great time. He watched the game as if he knew what was going on. They had fireworks that night. He just starred and starred and every now and then smiled. It was a great night out with the family!
