My Little Monkey

Today is a happy/sad kind of day. Mason started kindergarten this morning. He was SO excited! Brett and I both took him but I had to drop and go because the tears were brewin'. By the way, I was the crazy mom with a camera at the first day of school!
He picked out his clothes for today over the weekend and I must say that he looked so handsome. He is growing up too fast!
This is Mason and his teacher, Mrs. Mitchell. There are a few kids in Mason's class that he already knows so he should be fine.... right? Sniff-Sniff!

I came across a blog that was asking people "If you were brave, what would you do?" Well, what would you do?

Remember This Mason Original???

Funny Things Mason Has Said Over The Years


1... Mason spotted a roach outside and screamed like crazy. He is terrified of bugs but this was beyond terrified. When I asked him what was wrong, he said, "Mommy, did you see the eyelashes on that bug?"
2... The other day I dressed Mason in a sleeveless shirt. He looked at me and said, "Mommy, I love this shirt. This is my armpit shirt."
3... I told him that he looked really cute. He told me, "I don't look cute. I look awesome!"
4... He told me that I looked like Miss America. (Now that's funny!)
5... He told me that when he gets big that he is going to marry Miss America. He said that she was going to walk down the "hallway" at church and marry him with a skirt on her head.
6... Mason asked, "Mommy, who is God's Father?" I told him that God was the Father. He said, "No, Mommy, I know who His father is. It's the Creacher." When I asked him who the "creacher" was he said, "You know, the creacher who talks at church."
7... We saw a dead lizard in the road while we were walking. The next day it was gone. I asked Mason where he thought the lizard went. He told me, "The angels came down last night and threw it in the woods."
8... Instead of saying tomorrow, Mason has always said tomorning.
9... When kids are bothering Mason he says, "Those kids are begging on me."
10... I took Mason to get a haircut. When we got there he looked at the barber and said, "Please cut my hair. It's all jacked up!"
11... Mason is having a Luau at Preschool. He told me that he was really excited about going to his "hoot owl" at school.
12... When Mason was 2 we had to put one of our dogs to sleep. Right after that Mason told me that when he gets old like me that he was going to go to Heaven to see Buster.
13... Mason went to the dentist yesterday. I told him that if he didn't stop eating so much candy that his teeth would rot out. He told me that it was okay if his teeth fell out because then the tooth fairy would come and leave him money. He also told me that his cousin Jackson, 5, must eat a lot of candy because all his teeth are falling out.
I am happy to report that I am having a new header designed!! I must say that I will not miss the small white box with the red X!

Our New Favorite Thing

We have found a "new favorite thing to do"...... hunt for sharks teeth at the Port Royal sands. We go as a family or Brett and I take turns going with Mason but we love it! There are always sharks teeth laying around. Mason has so much fun looking for them.....and if I'm being totally honest....I love it, too! This picture is just a small amount that we have found so far. Want to hear something funny? Yesterday Mason and I went in the boat with Billy and Amy. Will caught a shark and Mason REALLY wanted to pull all his teeth out before they threw him back. We have created a monster!

We found a Roses in Blue Ridge, Ga. and I had to take a picture! My MaMa used to take me to Roses all the time!

Isn't my honey so handsome? I think so!

Good Grief!



Tonight Layla had some kind of seizure. I have never seen anything like it so I totally freaked out. I ended up taking her to the vet. Her blood sugar was low. I am hoping that Ripley ate all their food at dinner and she just needed to eat. My poor little Layla girl!

Look At My Handsome Boy!

This weekend we went out in the boat. Mason loves it out there but I must say that this the first time that he has played in the mud. He doesn't really like dirt. He's more into frog and lizards. This wasn't just any mud... this was the stickest mud ever. But even though he was covered in mud..... He was still so handsome!

Such A Boy!


Mason is such a boy! I have taken him to the doctor a hand full of times over the last few months. Infected bug bites, rashes and bike wrecks have been the reason for our trips to the doc. I am ready to have a baby girl.... someone to join me in all my prissiness!
I started an adoption blog. Check it out! http://www.journeytoellison.blogspot.com/

We are naming our boat the "Miss Ruby". Here are two images that we had drawn up. What do y'all think? I need some opinions.

Happy 7th Anniversary Brett!!

I wanted to share this picture with y'all of Mason and a little brown stuffed dog that belonged to my grandmother. Yesterday my aunt gave it me and I gave it to Mason. Of course, he wanted to know what the dogs name was. He said, "Her name is written on the tag." I looked on the tag and written was the name Ruby Graves, my grandmothers name. So, now Mason thinks that this little dogs name is Ruby Graves... not just Ruby but Ruby Graves. Last night I was letting our real dogs out to go potty and from the bedroom Mason yelled, "Mom! Don't forget about Ruby Graves! She might need to go out and pee!" This morning I heard him say, "Ruby Graves, after I eat my food, I'll feed you." "Okay, Ruby Graves, you sit right here while I go to the bathroom." "Hold on Ruby Graves... I'm going to turn the ceiling fan on while you are on it!" Yikes!! It makes me smile to hear my grandmother's name used so often by Mason. Just a little comic relief that MaMa would have loved!

Stronger!!

This past week has been a really hard one for my family. But I can honestly say that we have come out of it stronger. We have all grown closer and have learned to value each other even more. Extended family members have been able to get to know each other again. My prayer is that those relationships will continue to grow.
