northpark

i forgot to post these from our trip to dallas. we went to northpark and samuel had a great time running up the "ramps" and seeing the ducks and turtles.

i remember going to northpark as a little girl with my grandmother.

i love northpark!

and one more that i forgot...

rodeo round-up...from april :)

samuel's school, little peoples school, had rodeo round-up in april...for some reason i am just now getting these up! it is a precious day consisting of a western-themed performance, pictures, blow-up slides, books by the campfire, horse rides and a petting zoo. (i only got a few pics)

a mini-photoshoot with the sheriff...

a couple of family pics after his performance (which this time he didn't really sing or do the moves...i guess he was embarrassed...i think kyle got video and if so i'll try to post it)

horse ride!

samuel with his buddy, carter torturing i mean petting the little animals :)

weekend get-away to dallas

after michael's graduation our family went to dallas for a little get-away. we wanted to do some shopping but also something fun. we had a wonderful time just "playing it by ear" and hanging out with our boys. we didn't tell any of our dallas friends or family (sorry guys!) because we kind of planned last minute and it was fun to just do whatever whenever.

our first stop: the dallas world aquarium. we had a blast at the aquarium..it was fabulous! samuel loved it and it kept benjamin entertained. they had a great gift shop where we got some neat books and "swim creatures."

my mini-me :)

samuel looking for the otter...we got to watch her being fed.

she was swimming back and forth waiting for her food.

awesome tube under the shark/fish/sting-ray tank...we watched the fish get fed. it was so cool!

i love these boys!

michael graduates!

my little brother, michael, graduated from baylor on saturday. our whole family made it to waco to see mikey cross the stage with a degree in business administration in management and marketing. we are so proud of michael! he is the last of the "mason 5" and i am a little sad/ sentimental about that. my parents have had someone (or more than one child) in college since 1997 when i left for baylor! that's 14 years....woah!! i think there has also been someone at baylor since 1997. i know margaret and steve are excited for more than one reason! ($$) :)

also one quick sidenote: i graduated 10 years ago from baylor...which makes me feel OLD! kyle thinks i still want to be in college...somedays i do and i definitely LOVE going to visit baylor!

jordan arranged for us to have prime parking...front row!
