Happy Holidays!


It's that time of year again...Christmas card time!  This year I decided to write our Christmas letter on here.  It's been a crazy and exciting year for Mason and I.  At the beginning of the year Mason and I moved back to Ainsworth and moved back in with the parents/grandparents.  I started my last semester of college online.  In order to finish my degree online I had to take classes through three different colleges including Northeast Community College, Northern State University, and Central Community College.  I also took a class at the Northeast campus in O'neill.  Let's just say I have mastered online college and my time management skills.  In February I started working at The Tri-County Bank in Bassett.  I worked 3 days a week while doing school full time.   I am very happy to be back at TCB.  Mason started going back to Grandma's Daycare and of course he loves it!  He is very lucky to get to spend time with Grandpa and Grandma everyday.

In May a lot of exciting things happened.  Mason turned 2 and then a day later I graduated college! I can't believe I am a mother of a 2 year old! May was a month full of celebration.  The week after I graduated college with a degree in Rural Agribanking I started working at TCB full time.  Also in May, Mason and I moved into a 3 bedroom apartment in town which we both love.

In the summer Mason and I spent most of our days at the park and the pool.  Mason has always loved to swim and his skills in the water are pretty impressive.  We tried swimming lessons but Mason didn't think he needed any help in the swimming department so that only lasted a couple days.  Mason has a love for music just like his mommy.  He thinks he needs to control the radio whenever we are in the car.  He currently has an obsession with the Frozen movie and the song "Let It Go."  We make a pretty good duet when it comes to all of the Frozen songs.  This year Mason has really learned to talk.  He is learning new words everyday.  He has learned how to count and we are working on our ABC's.

 Mason is Aunt Bree's biggest fan.  We try to make it to all of her volleyball and basketball games.  90% of the time during the games Mason is trying to either get Aunt Bree's attention or run on to the court to see her.  Mason loves it when Uncle Ryan takes him to feed the cows or when he lets him ride the horses.  Mason loves the outdoors and ALL animals!  Mason got two pet fish which are in a fish tank in his room.  When we first got the fish Mason tried to share his milk with them so it is a miracle they are still alive.  He loves to tell them goodnight before he goes to bed.

Mason is a very outgoing little boy.  He loves to say hi to everyone and he will walk up to any kid at the park and grab their hand to go play.  I am loving watching him grow everyday.  It is amazing how much he changes in such a short amount of time.  We have been very blessed this year and we can't wait to see what next year holds for us!

Become a Partner in Hope

Today is February 4th, which also happens to be World Cancer Day.  In honor of World Cancer Day, the radio station I listen to everyday at work had many cancer survivors, and parents of cancer patients tell their stories.  Every time a parent or a child told their story, I was almost in tears.  In every story they all said "I never thought it would happen to me."  It is so true, no one ever thinks it is going to happen to them.  I couldn't even begin to imagine if I was told that my son has cancer.  I don't want to even think about it.  After hearing all of these stories I decided I wanted to do something to help.  So I went on to stjude.org and became a partner in hope.  I signed up to donate to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital monthly.  It comes straight out of your credit card or bank account.  You can choose the dollar amount to donate per month.  Any amount helps so much.  It is so easy to do and I hope others wi...

2015 Review

Happy New Year!!! Mason and I have made it to another year.  It seems like such an accomplishment every year.  2015 was a great year for Mason and I. We started out 2015 with Ryan and Leah's wedding.  Mason made an adorable ring bearer and he had a blast dancing the night away.  Also in January Mason had his second surgery.  He took it like a champ.  There were some positives and negatives to having been through it before but the recovery this time went a lot smoother. I had my 1 year anniversary working at TCB in February.  That means my 2 year is quickly approaching.  I am still enjoying it there.  My family tries to accuse me of converting over to a Knights fan, but I say I just like to support everyone! In May a lot of things happened.  Mason turned the big THREE! I don't know how I can be the mother of a three year old already, but I am.  He has grown up so much and he won't slow down. I applied for a mortgage loan and a...

GoodNites Tru-Fit Real Underwear Review

Ever since Mason has been potty trained and wearing big boy pants it has been a struggle at night time to get him to wear a diaper.  He cannot yet make it through the night without wetting the bed.  I went through a phase where I would have to duck tape Mason's diaper on in order for him not to rip it off in the middle of the night.  I had recently used up all of his diapers so I went to the store to check out what my options were.  I found the perfect solution to my problem!  I found GoodNites Tru-Fit Underwear.  They are real underwear that you can insert an absorbent pad in.  I was skeptical about how well they would actually work because Mason's diaper is usually full in the morning but I was pleasantly surprised!  I have not had one leak on me yet. I had never heard of GoodNites underwear before but I am so glad that I found them! No more diapers for Mason! Below I have posted a link to purchase GoodNites Underwear.  I have not yet shopp...
