Meadowview Open House 2012

After a fun filled summer at Anna's Bananas Summer Camp, it was time to start thinking about school.  The week before, Mason and I got to meet Mason's 2nd Grade teacher, Mrs. Young, when Mason along with all the elementary students in Farmington each got an individual assessment by their teachers.  We headed back to Meadowview today for the annual open house.  We got to find out which friends would be in his class, see his desk, put away school supplies and spend more time with Mrs. Young before the official start of school.  Mason is all ready to start 2nd grade! 

Happy 7th Birthday Mason!

Mason had a three day birthday extraveganze with a total of four celebrations in honor of being the big 7.  He started his birthday weekend with cupcakes with his Summer Camp friends at Anna's Bananas.  

Saturday afternoon he was joined in his backyard/living room with friends from both Meadowview and Anna's for some jumping, Wii and ice cream sundae bar fun.  

Saturday evening we had some of our favorite friend families over for dinner, despite not being able to take advantage of the jumper with all the rain, we still had a good time.  

On Sunday, we had our families over for the final party on Mason's actual birthday.  

He had a great time celebrating his birthday with so many friends and family!

Zoo Time With Auntie Rachel & Samantha

Despite the heat, we made a trip to the zoo with Auntie Rachel & Sammy and had a great time.

Mason and Cooper enjoyed the Dinosaurs (especially the misting sprinklers), Sammy not so much.

Independence Day 2012

Beach Time

As part of Auntie Rachel's 30th Birthday Celebration, we headed down to a beach in Red Wing for some fun in the sun on this very hot day.  The boys had a blast paying in the water!

Team Royals - First Grade Baseball

Mason headed out for another season of baseball this summer.  He was on team Royals this year with Coach Corey.  Mason improved so much throughout the season and we had a lot of fun watching!

Father's Day Weekend 2012

We got to spend time with both the Wadley and Voth families over the Father's Day Weekend.  The boys banked some pool time at Grandpa Mike and Grandma Geralyn's where we celebrated with the entire Wadley crew.

 

Best pic of the Summer, so far:)

On Sunday, we had a morning celebration with Corey complete with gifts and monkey bread.

We had Grandpa Frank, Grandma Brenda, Auntie Rachel, Auntie Kari and Samantha over to our house in the afternoon for some grilling.

Regis Valleyfair Day 2012

The Voth family headed out once again to Valleyfair and once again had a blast.  Mason & Corey even went on the High Rollers (aka the white roller coaster).  Corey said he freaked out through most of the ride, but got off at the end and said "that was awesome."  Mason gets to go again in August with his Summer Camp friends, but Cooper is already waiting for next year.

Tooth Fairy

The last day of school also brought another Mason milestone, the tooth fairy.  After weeks of wiggling, he finally lost his first tooth at school, which means he got to go to the nurse's office to get a special treasure chest to hold his tooth.  He really wanted the treasure chest, so it all worked out at the last second.  The tooth fairy left a generous $5 special reward for his first tooth along with a note, which outlines the payment plan for future teeth:)
