what a HUGE weekend we had-and we loved it! mason graduated on friday, june 13th with his bachelor's degree in liberal studies and we are so proud of him. it's been a long and sometimes not so pleasant road for us(especially for mason), but we've been blessed beyond measure through it all-we love you mason and we can't say it enough! and happy father's day to you too honey-you're the best in the whole universe! of course mason's parents were here this weekend to help celebrate and it was awesome as usual. they're always so supportive and loving-it's so hard when they leave. we really enjoy their visits. mason's party on saturday was a big hit-we love celebrating with family and friends so thank you to everyone who came to party with us.
so, because it was a long and sometimes hard road(12 years, but who's counting), i started thinking what i could get mason for a grad gift. surfboard, nintendo wii-these things popped into my head-then i thought-what does he really want above all else??? a trip to hawaii! so there you have it...we're going to hawaii in august and we're ecstatic! i definately think he deserves it-he's worked hard for it while working full time to support his family and everything else that's too much to mention here-just know honey that we love you tons! and thanks to nia & carrie, we'll be going to paradise without the kids-i know, we're soooooooo lucky! i just hope i don't cry everyday missing the kids. but i'm thankful for great family who support us and help out so much-what a blessing.

what's new?
what's new with us? besides pregnancy symtoms, there's much going on here at the pattersons. mason is working hard to finish strong as he approaches his last 2 weeks of school before he graduates-hooray!
mese is also working hard at school-i don't know if it's the weather or school's almost out, but he's getting a little mouthy with us-and i really don't like it(mason tells me he's a boy and he's growing-yeah, and?!)
sila is sila and she does her best to help with just about everything i don't want her to help with-so i guess that means i should be looking for things she can help with. she's very good with the babies(nani and orin) and i do appreciate that. although she does tend to eat up all their snacks and they don't like that.
and nani girl-she's funny. she likes to roll her eyes at us when we tell her not to-where did she learn that i ask? she's a girl of course- it's in her. she says 3 word and sometimes 4 word sentences and she still is trying to adjust to nursery. snack time's her favorite.
and me, well, i'm just trying to keep up with everyone. today, i did sharing time and it's hard enough that i'm emotional anyway, but now with the pregnancy, i'm a huge cry baby-it's horrible.
i just wish i could get through my thoughts before i start crying. i need to work on that somemore. i'm enjoying primary more and more, even with the bumps in the road that we get weekly. but i'm glad to be working with such capable people-and the kids, well, the kids are funny. never a dull moment-nope not in this ward/branch.
and so it seems that life is looking pretty darn good for us pattersons and we're grateful.
