Dear Cason

Dear Cason,
It's that time of year again for me to write you a letter on your birthday.  Cason you continue to bring so much happiness and joy into your Dad and I's life.  You truly are the sweetest little boy.  It seems that you have the uncanny ability to know when I am having a bad day or feeling bad about myself because you will be there with a ready compliment.  Not many days will go by without getting a "you're beautiful mom!" or a "you're the best mom ever!" I often feel inadequate to be your mom but you have all the confidence in the world that I was meant to be your mom. 

We can often butt heads when it comes to certain things.  And when you set your mind to something there is no changing it.  Which unfortunately has lead to many a meltdown especially since starting school.

Ah school!  Cason you have learned so much and grown by leaps and bounds since school started.  At the beginning of the year you knew a handful of letters barely, no sounds, didn't know how to spell your name and could only count to 10.  Now you can count to 75 (most days :)), know all your letters, sounds, sight words, are reading, writing, and you know your phone number. 

Your vision has given you many a challenge and I worry about you most days.  You struggle more then the average person but you just keep being so upbeat.  I know you will do geat things despite this obstacle you have been given.

 

I have never met a person who doesn't mention how you love to talk!  You can go on and on and on about anything when you think you have found a captive audience.  You generally prefer it to be an audience of one or two.  In a group setting you are on the more reserved side.  Everyone who knows you just loves you!




You are so adventerous!  It was so fun to take you to Lagoon this summer because you loved all the big rides.  I can't wait to take you to Disneyland.

 

Again I don't know how I got blessed with you but I am so thankful I did.  I love you so much.

Some fun facts about you right now.
you love:

• Legos
• Transformers
• Minecraft
• Talking everyone's ear off
• Octanauts
• Watching transformer videos on the i-pad
• still loves his blanket
• giving cuddles

Things that are a must

• has to take something every where he goes
• has to have a snack after Kindergarten as he is always starving
• I have to carry food for you where we go

Happy Birthday Cason!

Dear Cason,
Hey big 7 year old!  Seeing you go off to 1st grade this year was so hard for me.  I don't know what it is about you going to school all day.  But for some reason it makes me feel like you are such a BIG kid!  The beginning of the year was really a struggle for you.  I am so glad to see you getting the hold of this whole all day thing.  It was so neat that you entered the reflections contest.

You made two different airplanes.  One of your airplanes won 2nd place how cool is that!  You were so excited about your special pin.  You are such a creative boy.  I love to see the lego creations you come up with.  You can spend hours on end building legos or playing transformers.  Lego ninjago seems to be your current favorite type of legos.  You also really like to watch videos of this series on netflix.  I sometimes wish you would be a little more kind to your baby sister.  To you she seems to be more of a bother.  I often hear you yelling at her to get out of your room and not touch your legos when all she really wants to do is look at them.





Fear is not a word in your vocabulary when it comes to rides!  You love going on all the big rides.  This fall you were able to get onto Colossus because your hood made you look taller.  That made your entire night!
You still love to talk anyone's ear off that will give you that time.  (Sometimes when when they don't have the time you still do it).  You are such a sweet, special boy.  Dad and I love you so much and just love the great things you do!

Halloween 2014

 

 Darling outfit I found at the DI for her to wear during October.  It was so cute it had black tulle along the bottom. 

 

My Team is so awesome.  We decided to dress up as Carebears for Halloween.  I was Love A lot Bear.  The kids thought it was great we were all the same.

 

 Having to show off our little tails and hearst too.

Here are the boys and I off to school for our Halloween parties.  My Knight and shining armor and Zombie Steve from Minecraft.  After school we went to Jamba Juice and got a free smoothie if you are in a costume.

My darling little Elephant!  Isn't she the cutest thing?

 

After Jamba juice we went to the Mall for some trunk or treating.  Tay loved this.  She didn't want to sit in her stroller she wanted to walk from store to store.  Granted she had just learned to walk so this was so cute to watch.  She would hold her arm up high and have her bucket on her arm like a purse.  I have the cutest video of her but it won't load.

 

We went to our annual Halloween Carnival at the Clearfield Aquatic center after Weston's 8th birthday party.  Dayton, Ashton, and Braxton joined us in the fun. 

Here are all the boys and my sweet Tater.

Cason playing a ball and chain bowling game. 

Taylyn playing in the pit of balls she thought this was so fun.

We also went to the Syracuse City Pumpkin Walk.  It is always so fun to see all the great pumpkins.  This year we entered pumpkins into the display.

My sweet boys.

 

Weston with his minecraft pumpkin he made.

My pumpkin.  Isn't it a beaut? Ha!

This year we also went to my mom's ward trunk or treat.  Cason had more fun handing out the candy then trick or treating.  I love that boy :)

 

Taylyn helped cason.  Well not really she didn't want to part with her suckers.

Here they all are all dressed up.  Weston's minecraft head was so heavy and hard to see out of this was the only time he was Steve.  Afterward he switched to be Zombie Steve and I painted his face.
