My pretty boy with a black eye

Of course Kooper is the one child of mine that gets a black eye. Two days before this happened he fell and split his bottom lip open and underneath his upper lip.(might explain his why he has chipped teeth)
I didn't actually see how he hit his eye but he says he hit the ottoman (which is soft).
He must have hit the ottoman and bounced off and hit something else, because he really hit it hard!
I should have gotten pictures right after he did it because it is almost 2 weeks old here.

I have just came to the understanding that he is always going to get hurt and look like he got beat up! I must say though that he doesn't cry much and he is one tough little dude. Having older brothers has probably contributed to his crazy dare devilish little stunts. He can totally hang with them...if they let him:)

Kason's 9

Happy Birthday to Kason!

(yesterday)

How sweet is this boy!!! On the outside he looks like a little rowdy punk, long haired skater. His baggy shorts or pants and long hair is definitely deceiving and masking the ever so sweet personality that lies beneath. He has one of the biggest hearts I have ever seen. His emotions are real, his desires to be good are true. Anyone that knows him, knows how genuine he really is.

9 things about Kason that I love:

1. His big chicklet teeth (he is going to have the best smile when he grows into his teeth)
2. He loves to try and be just like his Dad
3. Loves to be tucked in every night and always gives the biggest hugs (no kisses though)
4. Competitive- Always tries his hardest in everything he does
5. SO sensitive (he has the biggest crocodile tears I've ever seen)
6. Nice to everyone- very loyal
7. Can be quite the stinker (to say the least)
8. He loves to eat
9. He loves life and all the new adventures it brings

I love everything about Kason. He is such a special part of our family. What would I do if I couldn't love on this boy everyday. I am the luckiest Mom in the world!

Finally

I am doing a post!

We had such a FUN time in Mesa.

We hadn't been down there in a LoNg time!

The concert was great.

The kids were all so happy!

It was just a great weekend and so fun to spend time with family.

This is all of us that went to the concert.

We had PERFECT seats.

It was just held in a small little joint.

We had front row seats on the balcony and could see perfectly!

The kids went down closer to the stage a few times.

Their first concert was a hit!
