Matthews 6th birthday

Matthew had a fun birthday on Friday.  He enjoyed cupcakes at school with a special candle and blessing.  And then on Saturday morning, we celebrated his party at his favorite park. Even his teacher came out!

Getting ready for t-ball

The weather is warming up and we spent the weekend getting ready for t-ball.  We bought Matthew all the stuff (bat, glove, pants, cleats).  He is very excited to play.  He spent some time playing catch with Daddy in the yard and they had their first practice on Sunday.  They were so cute running after the balls.

Spring Break

For Matthew's spring break, he went to Nanna and Papa's in Victoria, Texas.  He went fishing and enjoyed the outdoors.  Audrey stayed home with us and enjoyed getting all of the attention - although, she was a little bored without Matthew around.  Matthew found all of the games at Nanna's house and found a love for the LIFE game.  It was complicated for him but that didn't stop him.  He kept Nanna and Papa on their toes by playing games until 10pm at night!

Spring Fun Run Carnival

     For March 3rd weekend, the weather was crazy.  On Saturday, we went to a spring fun run carnival.  The temperature warmed up to 80 degrees.  We were so hot that Matthew jumped in the pool as soon as we came home.  The pool water was cold so he quickly got out.  And then later Sunday, the weather changed dramatically and the temperature dropped below 30 degrees!

Sportsman Expo

It was another busy week. I went to Matthews school for Parents Day on Wednesday. Matthew had a dentist appointment on Thursday where he got a cap put on one of his tooth because the cavity was so bad. He thinks it is a gold tooth and proud to show it off. Over the weekend, we went to Victoria for the sportsman expo where the kids enjoyed a variety of outdoor activities.
