The Green Bellamy

If you don't have boys than you won't be familiar with the Lego Ninjago series that my boys love so much.  Well, in that series it is rumored that there will be a ninja (the green ninja) that will come to the earth that will be so powerful he will be able to save them from the bad guy.  (can't remember his name right now)
So ... Zach's favorite color has always been green. (Ethan's red and Mason's blue) so he naturally was designated to be the green ninja, while my other boys are the ninja trainers that are meant to train him.  So they have very serious training sessions where they play ninja and train Zach to be the "green Bellamy"  It's all pretty cute until someone gets hurt!!! and someone always gets hurt!!

back to the regular programing and the latest "Deep thoughts by Mason"

So we were driving home this past week and mine and Mason's conversation went something like this:
Mason: "Mommy how big is the earth?"
Me: "Pretty big"  (you know those pat answers you give to your kids when they ask you questions like this)
Mason: "So ... people are to the earth what ants are to our house"
Me: "I would bet that people are a little smaller than ants when compared to the earth"
 -- the conversation pauses as he processes this new information--
Mason: "So people compared to the earth would be more like parasites to our house"
Me:  probably something like that -- (I'm not sure, I can honestly say I've never asked myself this question)  lol!!

and he's 6 .... I'm just wondering what I should study up on for when he turns 7 next year. 

Easter Fun

Next year we won't experiment with "fake" dye-able eggs

Had a blast at the Kaysville easter egg hunt.  Zach was a machine!!

The Bellamy's spell out the rules before the big hunt

Kids up at 6:30 ready for Easter :) Spencer was not thrilled...

We had a really busy Saturday with 3 hunts and 2 parties, but the kids were able to keep up energy (thanks to sugar) for all of them:)  We first went to the Kaysville hunt.  I was able to help Zach out and I've never had a kid that was so thorough in picking up candy and eggs.  There was a point that I told Zach that maybe we should save the rest of them for the other kids.  After the Kaysville hunt we went to my moms for a delicious bbq and more egg fun.  The kids love going there because they always have those cheap unique toys for them like never pop bubbles or airplanes that launch into the air.  They had a really fun time and were not ready to leave ... but we had to move onto the next party.  Even though they were reluctant to leave my moms they soon forgot and had a blast at the Bellamy's party.  I love the way Pat does the egg hunt.  They find them all and then bring them back in and dump them all into a pile.  It's very fun and fair and when they've divided them all Pat and Bill bring out the Lucky Egg prizes.  This year my kids made off with Lego vehicles.  They were in heaven.  The lucky egg hunt was not so lucky for Spencer and I.  We even discussed strategy before hand about not taking the first egg we found, but unfortunately this year we only found 1 egg and yes ... it was the egg with only 5.00 in it.  You would think we would be better finders, but apparently we are not!! Easter morning was really fun and the kids ran outside with their silly string for a silly fight.  Their lucky egg this year was a blow up pool, but they were way more excited about all the candy.  Fun times!!  They are growing up way too fast!!!

Disneyland ... February 2014

Disneyland was fun, but exhausting.  We were able to go with Spencer's family, which was a nice change from our usual solo trips.  Mason was a little out of sorts the whole trip, but still loved Pirates of the Caribbean as much as he always does. Zach was a good sport not being able to go on most of the rides.  Ethan was able to train to be a Jedi this year, which was really fun.  We'll do this trip differently the next time. (ex. not moving hotels!!) The last day we were there it poured and poured, but that turned out to be my most fun and memorable day.  There were no lines and the rain made it just a little more exciting.  We had to stop at every single town on the way home because our little Mason was miserably constipated.  It made for a very long trip home. Please excuse the lack of pictures ... I only remembered to take my camera the first and last day so all the rest of the pictures are somewhere on Spencer's phone.

"You'll go and you'll like it"

We have to go back??  

After the first day, Ethan informed Mason that we would be going to Disneyland for 3 more days which caused him to burst into tears.  "You'll go and you'll like it .... it's the happiest place on earth!!!"

"Deep Thoughts" with Mason

I've had a couple conversations with Mason that make pause:)  This is how they usually go ...

Mason: If Jesus' father is Heavenly Father than who is Heavenly Father's father?
Me: That's a good question ... We don't really know.

or

Mason: Mommy if it's night time here that means that it is morning in Australia.
Me: Probably.
Mason: and if it is winter here that means its summer in Australia.
Me: I think you're right, we'll have to ask daddy.

or just recently

Me: I love you a whole Galaxy
Mason: Mommy, what is more than a Galaxy
Me: Another Galaxy
Mason: (After a thoughtful look) so if we go through our Galaxy we get to another one and then another one and if we get to the edge of space there is just more space.
Me: Sure :)  I've never thought about it !!  lol!!


I like to call my mom after these conversations to tell her there is another segment of "Deep Thoughts" By Mason Bellamy.
Love that kid!
(He usually starts these conversations with a Wewl aka well)
