The weather has been so nice lately (except for a few crazy, windy days here and there). So, Kameron was washing the car one day and Kason wanted to help. He had more fun playing in the bucket than washing the car. Good thing it was warm because he was soaked!

Crusin' ...

In a diaper box!


Kason thought this was SO much fun. He would sit in an old diaper box and Kameron and I would push him back and forth ... he loved it.

I love the see the Temple ...

Kason LOVES to talk about the Temple.
He tells us all the time that Jesus lives at the Temple & he LOVES singing 'I Love to See the Temple'. And, anytime we see a big building he says, "Look at! A Temple!"

It is so amazing to watch him have such a love for the gospel, even at such a young age. The other day, we were in Mesa, and he asked us if Jesus could go swimming with us. He was very persistant about it!! It made us chuckle but, inside I was beaming because he loves Jesus so much. Children have such a simple concept of the Gospel and it really puts my testimony in check!!

At the beginning of March we were in Mesa and spent some time at the temple grounds. I took a few photos in hopes to get some that I could count for his "2-year old shoot". While we were there Kason wanted to see Jesus so we took him to the Visitor's Center and he got so excited to see the big statue. I love it.


The temple is such a fun place to spend as a family, even if it's just walking around the grounds, there is such a special feeling there. Here are some of the shots we took ...

This is how we found Kason last Saturday morning when we went to go wake him up so we could leave for our trip. (which I just realized I haven't blogged about - blog to come soon ... I hope)

It was hilarious ... I would just LOVE to have an explanation.

Any ideas?!

Privatized ...

So, I'm debating whether I should make my blog private or not ...

Those of you who DO have private blogs ...

What made you decide to go private?
Do you like having it private?
Do you feel like people still read your blog even though it is private?

What are some reasons to stay public?
Would you still read our blog if we were private??

I feel like I'm pretty careful about what I post but, I just want to be sure about the safety of my family.

Anyways ... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give your input on this!!!
Thanks! :o)

Zoo Visit

On Monday we met my mom in Tucson and went to the Zoo there. I love that zoo because the animals are really close and they're almost always out so you can see them! It was such a nice day and we had lots of fun. Kason's favorite animals were; the giraffes, elephants, lion, tiger, and especially the monkeys!! All he could talk about on the way there was getting to see the monkeys!!

This is a major picture overload but, it was a really fun day!

It was so cool to see all the animals so close!





Some posing ;o)

We road the little train that they have there ... Kason loved it!

And we of course had to get In-n-Out :o)

I guess we wore Kason out ... he fell asleep like 5 minutes after we left!

********

Sorry for all the pictures, I didn't realize I had taken so many until I uploaded them to edit them all!!!

Kason has been really interested in sleeping in the double bed that is in his room. He took one nap on it and did really good so we turned his crib into a toddler bed! He has done really good sleeping in it. He stays in it until he wakes up in the morning and I think he likes that he can get out of it all by himself!!

The first time he saw his crib turned into a bed, he got really sad and said it was broken. But, we just explained to him that he gets to have a big boy bed now! He loves it!! This morning when Kameron went in to get him he had fun clearing everything out of his bed and bringing it to me.

Here are a couple pictures of his first night in his big boy bed!!

He is growing up TOO fast!

One of the great things about living in a town with a military base is the strong sense of pride for our country, the freedom we enjoy and especially the servicemen that make our freedom possible.

The other day Kason and I were at the Post Office and there were two gentlemen in front of us. One of them was obviously a soldier, with his hair cut and his manuerisms. The other one ended up being the father of a soldier who was serving in Iraq as a scouter.

I listened to them talk about his son; this was his second tour in Iraq and he had been serving our country for 6 years. His tour would most likely be brought home early only to be prepped again and sent back out to Kuwait or some other country.

I held my little boy in my arms and tears came to my eyes. I wanted to applaud this father who has sent his son to Iraq, not once but two times, to fight for our country. I wanted to thank him for allowing his son to defend our freedom. I felt like he deserved the world.

How blessed are we to have people risk their lives everyday so that we can enjoy our freedom?

I can lead a normal life and not have every aspect of my life controlled. And we owe it all to the service men and women of our country.

I am grateful for the country that I live in. And I am grateful for those who are so willing to protect this great country. And I am grateful for those who have sacrified their lives so that I can live mine.

So, to all those serving in the Armed Forces,

Thank You.

I don't think we can say it enough. Your service means the world to me.

Dear Readers,

It's me, Kason.

Things around here have been busy! I have to drink this stuff:

It doesn't taste bad at all! Plus, it will help get rid of the ear infection I have.
I have been really interested in bugs lately and I am trying to talk mom and dad into letting me get an ant farm.

Dad is doing good at his new job. I miss him all day though. He is working for this company:

He works in the finance department. He really likes it and likes the people he works with. Pretty soon, we're going to buy him a fish to put on his desk.

Mom loves being home with me (I think). She was working for a couple weeks but, she said she missed me too bad so, she quit and now she is home with me all day. We play together and watch movies. We also like going to Target and getting popcorn and an Icee.

Well, that's all that's new with us!

Until next time, Kason H.
