Make a Wish

What a wonderful lunch today! We just left a luncheon for Make a Wish volunteers and sponsors. We were honored to be there along with other wish families. What a good feeling inside, we are so THANKFUL for Make a Wish that words can not express. Barry Hinson, KU assistant basketball coach delivered an awe- inspiring speech today. We remember, "It's Not about You" those powerful words. We have been touched by so many friends and family; who focus on making others happy. Today I am left feeling full of passion for life and want to share that happiness with you. Make a Wish granted Mason a trip of to Disney World. Our first trip to Disney; we are forever grateful. I can not even begin to explain, it really was a dream come true. Now I have a wish to make other kids happy just like Mason. If you have a business or company that would like to support Make a Wish, you can sell Season of Wishes stars for Make a Wish. At only a $1.00 a star. Magical memories last a lifetime!! Thanks to Make a Wish for those memories!! We share our smiles with you.

4 day Halloween Weekend!!

Good Morning! Mason is wide awake this Thursday morning. No school for parent teacher conferences, and then the weekend begins. No special plans this weekend, just trick or treating and relaxation. I am sure we will think of something to sneak in, like maybe a trip to the dog park. Above is a picture of Mason, Ally and Maverick. The boys had a Halloween costume parade yesterday; and today Ally has her preschool party. Happy Halloween everyone. Mason is enjoying the costume photos on the Make a difference for Mason Facebook page. The boys are both awake!! Mason loves waking up his brother especially when there in no school. Mom can we play Wii ? P.S. Mason decided to stick with a swamp monster costume, to mom's relief I was not having any luck finding a football helmet.

Off to School.....

It's Tuesday morning and Mason slept 12 hours. He did not even eat dinner last night. Fell asleep with a painful headache. Thankfully, his headache vanished in his sleep. He was ready for school, excited about the Halloween party tomorrow.

Chiefs Victory

What a great weekend!! Still smiling!! We had a fabulous time at the Chiefs game Sunday. A big thanks to the Chiefs organization. We loved every minute, donuts, tailgating, a walk on the field, stadium food, the loudest stadium in the NFL , a winning game, a beautiful Fall day. GO Chiefs!!! 42-20! And thanks to the NFL referee for an added smile. We all created some wonderful memories! Maverick even wants to play in the NFL someday, and Mason your smile is priceless.

Bring on the weekend.......

Good Morning! It's Friday and Mason is wide awake ready to start his day.Yesterday he had a full day of school, with service club after school. Then a Halloween Boy Scout party. And up early to start Friday. Mason and Maverick are collecting pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. It's a simple way we can help, and if you have pop tabs you can send them our way......thank you neighbors for donating your collection. Happy Friday!

Picture of the Day

October 23, 2004-KC Zoo Run

Good Morning! Thought I would share a picture from 6 years ago, the boys were sitting on a bench waiting for Papa and dad to race by at the Zoo Run. Mason had fun searching for a 4-leaf clover, and his favorite animal that day was the tiger.

Ella Higginson

I know a place where the sun is like gold,
And the cherry blossoms burst with snow,
And down underneath is the loveliest nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

One leaf is for hope, and one is for faith,
And one is for love, you know,
And God put another in for luck, -
If you search, you will find where they grow.

But you must have hope, and you must have faith,
You must love and be strong - and so,
If you work, if you wait, you will find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

Sweet dreams...

Tonight, a very relaxing evening with friends, what more can I say? My spirits were lifted this evening! A giant thank you and hug to all. I got home just in time to tuck the kids in bed. Mason had a good day; no headaches for a week. Pleasant dreams everyone and thanks for checking in, it's your caring heart that gets us through each day.
