Update!! Per everyone's request.

Just a little update on what's going on. Scott took the bar in July and is currently waiting for his test results. They don't tell you until October. Bummer!
We are playing the waiting game until then.

Scott is playing Mr. MOM while I am working. He calls it vacation from his 3 years of studying. We are currently living at his family's house. Saving up money for a house and all the other finer things and necessities in life.

Mason now has 3 teeth and he is 14 months. I know only 3!! But they are still sharp, watch out because he knows what they are used for....to bite your pointy fingers. I have never met a child who loved to brush his teeth more than Mason. He loves it. Every morning I can say " Mason lets brush your teeth" and he will run into the bathroom and wait patiently for me to put toothpaste (baby orajell brand) on his toothbrush and brush his gums and 3 teeth. When i am done he cries because he wants to keep doing it. I have bought him his own play toothbrush and he takes that everywhere. Somtimes i wonder what he will want to be when he grows up, watching his likes and dislikes of things. I guess a dentist wouldn't be that bad.

We miss all of our friends close and far and hope we can meet up with them again.

Until then watch for the next blog!! it may take me a while...it always does.

Camping under the stars!

Mason had a great time camping out under the stars for his first time( real camping...in a tent!). Earlier that day Scott had to pack all of our gear and clothes and pick me up at work to head out to go camping with the Marsing Family for Father's Day weekend. Scott had only brought Mason two outfits, and I was in high heel shoes. Needless to say it was an experience. It was my first time as well in a tent with no bathrooms nearby and no showering. It got really cold at night but Mason kept me really warm. He was so cute sleeping in his own sleeping bag and eating smores. He loved playing with the other kids that were there, but also playing in the dirt. Scott's friend had a four wheeler and Scott took Mason on that for his first time and he loved it. He kept saying "oooooo". It was a great Father's Day weekend.

A boating we will go...

So we decided it was about time that Mason had his first boat ride. I mean after all his dad is an avid fisherman. Both men must have a boat to fish. I was a little nervous about the boat ride. How would Mason react? Would there be a small enough life jacket for him? You know the routine....worried mommy syndrome. Well, he did great and loved watching the water hit the boat. When the boat got real jumpy, he stuck it out like a real trooper!!




Mason all smiles in his lifejacket. (this is before we got into the water!)

Mason's First Birthday!!

Today June 13, 2007 Mason just turned ONE!! We threw him a Finding Nemo Baby Pool Party. We invited all of his close friends and family.

When it came time to eat cake, I was so excited thinking he was just going to jump right in, but he has again proven me wrong. He was very modest and dipped just the tip of his fingers into the cake and sucked on his fingers. The only time he got the cake on his face was when he went to wipe his eyes because he was so tired. And then he was mad that he had stuff on his face.



Finally, presents time! Guess what! He was a little interested. He wasn't interested in the wrapping paper or the bags, but when the toy came out there were little " OOooos" of excitement!



All in all it was a great first birthday bash! Nothing big and nothing small, just right!

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!
