VIP

Ms. Aagard (Mason's Kindergarten Teacher) made one very big mistake this year!!!  She left Mason's VIP week until the end of the school year.  So don't think that Mason just forgot about his VIP week.  He has been reminding the entire class all year, that his VIP week was May 10th.  Well, his teachers were very relieved when May 10th finally came around, so they didn't have to hear about it anymore.  As part of his VIP week, Mason brought home a questionaire to fill out...  I will not post all of the questions, but one question/answer was too cute not to share......

Mom:  Mason, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Mason:  I want to be really tall :)

Playoffs Baby!!!

On April 23, 2010, Mason and I had the opportunity to go to one of the playoff games for the Utah Jazz.  It was game two of the playoffs against the Denver Nuggets!  Mason had never been to a Jazz game and was super excited to go.  I was a little nervous to tell you the truth!  What if he wasn't able to handle the game, because of the noise and we had to leave after spending all that money!!!   But as always... I say.... There has to be a first!!  We won't know until we try it.  Mason had to wear both of his Jazz shirts and if he had had a Jazz flag, that would have gone along too. He was so excited to be inside the Arena!  The only time that mason had a difficult time, was when they announced the players and set the fireworks off inside the arena.  For some reason, he just can't handle fireworks.  Even with his earmuffs on!!  But we made it through the fireworks and Mason cheered loud for his Jazz.  After half time, Mason and I went for a walk.  While we were out, we had the opportunity to have our picture taken with Thurl Bailey.  Mason even got Thurl's autograph on the back of his Jazz Jersey...   The night was fantastic... We made it through the entire game and   the Jazz won!!!!
