Shiloh and Kinley's new room.

 For those of you who are friends with Jeff on Facebook, some of these pictures will be a repeat for you. 

We began framing in our loft back in January. Jeff and Bill, our brother in law, did most of the work on Saturdays. I am happy to say the project is FINALLY done and Shiloh has been sleeping in her and Kinley's new room for almost a week now. More importantly, there were no serious injuries during construction. Jeff only got shocked and had a small piece of drywall fall on his head. I think there may have been a few other minor injuries in there somewhere, but I can't remember. All I know is, Jeff had something happen to him every time they'd work on the room. It became quite the joke during construction time.

More of Mason's schol work

 Here are a few more pictures Mason has brought home lately.
 This one says: "Guess who I Am? I don't like school (not true). We are learning about plants. My favorite plants are onion plants. (Probably because we planted onions in our garden a few days before he wrote this.) We are also learning about storms. I have seen a rock slide. (When?)." On the back it says: "I am Mason".
I think this one was his life goals or something like that. It says: "Grown up Borders. #1 B.Y.U.-I. I go to learn break dancing. #2 Spokane. With 1 wife and 100 kids." (I sure am glad he specified the one wife thing, but I do hope his wife is super woman....or maybe they will adopt A LOT! "#3 Lego Star Wars maker." (He wants to develop Lego Star Wars video games.)
"The Night Sky by Mason. When I look up I see the giant Milky Way. I see stars that look like tiny drops of fire. I see our huge, bright moon. What do you see?"


"Dear Mom and Dad, Thank you for coming to my conference. At school, I have learned Rocket Math and having all day is fun. (All day school that is). Now I want to learn more writing. I love (continued on back) you. (heart) Mason"
