Happy Birthday, Mason!

Today we celebrated Mason's 7th birthday! Actually, we celebrated all weekend long! Saturday we went to Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park. Bob and I kept saying, "Why did we wait 3 years to come here?!" It was a blast! We bought season tickets so we'll be sure to go many more times! Mason brought his friend, Isaac, from school and our good friends the Kemps met us there. We didn't take many pictures because all of us were in the water most of the time. They have water slides for two year olds all the way up to adults. As you can see Bob had to try one of the "big slides" just before we left. :)



And, just to prove that we are insane, Bob and I did a "room makeover" project even after being totally zapped by the fun and sun at the water park. I had gotten the idea in January to redo Mason's room as a surprise for his birthday. So, we put the kids to bed in our room and worked until almost 1:00 am to redecorate his room. Then, we carried him to his bed and it went just as planned. He stayed asleep and I was lucky enough to be peeking in his room this morning when he woke up. The look on his face was priceless! It was so worth staying up late peeling wallies off the wall. Those are the moments that parenting is so much fun! Here are a couple of pictures of the process.

And, the finished product.....


The shelves are yet to go up. We ran into a snag with that part and need to make another trip to Home Depot for different hardware. All in all, it came out well.
Hope you all have a great week!
