The picture on the main menu is of Mason at his 9th birthday party with some of his friends.  Our friend, Gretchen, made him a very special 4-wheeler cake that is still be talked about by his friends!!  I remember that they all wanted a piece of the black wheels.  And then their mouths and teeth were black!

We thought alot about Mason yesterday, talked alot about him, laughed, cried some tears.  All in all, I have decided that the busier I am, the better.  I can choose to lock myself up in my room and cry, or I can try to take a step forward.  I choose to live, as Mason would want.

The boys sent tons of fireworks into the sky for Mason last night.  I'm sure he loved it.  I'm also sure he is laughing while watching them clean up the mess this morning.....Andrea
