Happy 6th Birthday/12th Anniversary

Saturday Mason turned 6. Sunday Jas and I celebrated 12 years of pure marital bliss. The birthday party was at the new community center pool, complete with cake, balloons, family, friends, and presents. The anniversary celebration was a quick "Happy Anniversary" in passing as we prepared for the birthday party. Check out Carter's blue hands from digging into the butter cream icing, which was melting fast in the over-100-degree heat. Once the sun went down a little, though, the temp was perfect. And you can't beat having an entire community pool - with diving board and water slides - all to yourself. Mason absolutely loved every gift he got (like the outer space habitat for his beta fish - too cute!). But his favorite was the Sponge Bob wallet that Mimi gave him - with money in it, of course. He's been wanting a wallet for months. He's also been wanting a storm shelter for months, but nobody gave him one of those...go figure.
