Journaling.

He's keeping a summer journal. (In Uncle Ricky's dress shirt that he slept in) :) I love his tiny little fingers and his squishy cheeks.

Fun on the Dunes...

Matthew did a face plant on his way down from the Sand Dunes. He decided to take off running, but it had been so cold already, he didn't know his nose was dripping! This boy had sand in every crevice, and he ran up to do it another 4 times. I just KNEW one of them would end up in the hospital, but neither of them cried once. They did head over feet tumbles and came out giggling!

Finito

He added the flag and then called it perfect! (It grew from here though!)

Joe the builder.

He saw pieces of wood laying around on the beach and decided to build his own house. Complete with a fence and everything. It ended up becoming much bigger than this and he built a second house for his brother, in the same fence and everything!

Twins...

They got themselves dressed today...100% matching, down to them splitting up two pair of Joes shoes. I warned Matthew that the shoes might make him fall or slip off all day, but I'm allowing it. :) On the way to school, I asked how it happened. Matthew said, "I was asleep and Joe woke me up and I DON'T LIKE THAT." Joe said, "Yeah, but if I hadnt' woken you up, you'd miss out on all this FUN!" Ha ha ha

Another Unwelcome Guest!!

We caught a big'n today. I heard Joe SCREAM, "TURANTULA!!!!" Lol Mama to the rescue (with my bug sucker, there's no way I'd touch it!) This spider goes down in our record books around here! YUCK!

My Unwelcome Guest!

That would be a dead mole. The boys thought it would be funny ON MY NIGHTSTAND!!! I had seen Joe play "look out" earlier in the day and I noticed Matthew snuck past... So, I knew they had done something, but I hadn't heard anything break and they were getting along... so I didn't worry about it. Later, when I was putting them to bed, Matthew gave it away. He said, "Mama, when you go to bed, do you always check the table by your bed?" LOL... I knew right away to check my nightstand!

Aaron's Mini-Me

Dada left for a week at work... Matthew misses him, hence the hat and boots. He disappeared to my room for a little while and came out like this. "I just want to be like Dada right now." SO cute!

Uncle Rick's Balloons!

Uncle Rick came in to the house for Matthew's birthday party day. He looked around and said, "Where's the balloons?" I told him I hadn't bought any this time. He said, "You can't have a birthday with out balloons" and got in his jeep to drive in town and buy some for Matthew. he was right, the backyard was MUCH more festive! :)

Happy 6th Birthday Matthew!

We took Matthew out to dinner for his birthday... When they were done singing to him, he looked at me bashful and said, "I tried not to laugh." lol He kept his serious/nervous face the whole time. This boy cracks me up!
