Reverently, Quietly

Mason has now learned to fold his arms!! It's so cute. . .melts my little heart! He folds his arms during prayers, but today during church he had a container of raisins he wasn't about to let go of for the prayer, so he folded one arm up around his neck. . .it was so funny Delvin and I were laughing through the prayer - discreetly laughing - so irreverent!

Winning Isn't Everything!!!!!!

You've got to read this story - this is the kind of love I want my kids to show to others throughout their lives. . .click here!

Catching up!

I have much catching up to do. . .again! Well, much has happened in the Tapusoa home, here's my quick recap. . .

Aidan and Delvin planted trees at property our church owns. . .they had a good time!

Grandma had a Birthday - she's 29 again!


























Aidan's first Scout Sunday - the scouts wear their uniforms to church!



















Here's a few of the other Wolves on Scout Sunday!




We made cookies to have pics to go in his class cookie cookbook!
Aidan choose Peanut Butter and Homemade Oreo recipes to be in there.


















He decided to get creative!

Then there was Valentines Day


And some cute pics I got today while trying to get a pic of Mason puckering up. He has now transitioned to the "closed mouth kiss" and he has the cutest pucker!!!!! I never got a pic of it because the dang camera flashes 10 times before actually taking the pic and is distracts him. It's darn cute though - wish you could see it!
hmmm. . .let me stick my thumb in my ear!

There. . .now I'm somewhat caught up . . .and I'm off to bed!

16 Teeth!

Last week Mason cut his 12th tooth. . .so I thought. Later in the week I was looking at that 3rd molar that had cut through and started thinking it looked like he had more than 12 teeth. So I counted and there were 15 - how did I miss 3 teeth??? Hello - no wonder he's been drooling like a mad dog with a runny nose that never stops! AND - he cut a 4th molar today, bringing him up to 16 teeth! That's 5 teeth he's cut in 5 weeks - poor kid - no wonder he wants to chew and eat constantly! And to top of it all I weened him 2 1/2 weeks ago. . .took away his comfort during such a painful time - he's had it rough!

I know I should have a picture of all those teeth, but he's sleeping and this is the only time I've had to make a post, so I'll try to get one in the next few days and add it.
