Happy Birthday Mason

Happy Birthday 13 year old~

Did you see how much your mom and dad and grandma and aunts and uncles loved you as we watched you and Jake when you were only 2 years old last night? Someday you will understand how important a part you play in your family's life. Someday when you have your own little two year old!!

But, that is a long ways off and lots to accomplish as a TEENAGER!!! Rock the house tomorrow night with your friends~make your mom show you how she can boogie!!! she's really good~~(smile)

Hope your back gets better ~ remember the ICE!!! Take some time and read this abbreviated version from a great poet, Rudyard Kipling....

If
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated don't give way to hating,

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master;

If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim,

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much:

If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son! Rudyard Kipling
