The rainbow only lasted a few minutes but we were lucky enough to be outside when it appeared. There were actually two full rainbows but the 2nd was too light to show up in the picture.

time OUT

Mataya was put in time-out today. When I let her out she brought the camera to me and asked with a sly smile, "can we look at your pictures mama?" The whole time she was playing with the camera. It looks like Cassie has had a little influence with mataya's picture style. Isn't she soooo funny?!

Spring Soccer 2010

Mataya begged us for weeks to sign her up for soccer...so grandpa signed her up and bought her the soccer gear she needed. She told us she would be brave, focused and agressive. We are still waiting to witness that. She loves practice and I think the treat following the games are what gets her through that hour. At what point do we throw in the towl and move along to the next interest? WILL she get better with time...not so sure about soccer. Thanks to all her fans for supporting us!

Easter 2010

Grandma & Grandpa's 50th Anniversary

We noticed that Mataya had two "grown-up teeth" growing behind her baby teeth, so we took her to the dentist to have 4 teeth pulled. She was so excited. They were her first teeth to be pulled. One tooth even flew across the room. That made her giggle. Everything was fine until she realized she was bleeding...30 minutes after we were home. Then she went into panic mode.

We see this adorable face quite often lately! Just about anything kicks it off...the wrong clothes, leaving cee cee alone, homework, stop running like a horse...especially stop running like a horse, cleaning up toys...the best part about it is that she has a walk that is equally funny.

I can't give you the wrong impressions though. Mataya is a great helper and she has grown up so much in the last few months. She has great manners and is doing very well in school. Her math and reading are excelling quickly. We love our angel!

Erica and Myleigh were able to fly home for Brycen's funeral. We are so greatful for the time they were here! It was so close to Myleigh's Birthday we gave her a party. Who knows when the next time they will be here for her birthday so there was no way we weren't going to have that party!

We heard about this great pumpkin patch last year and loved it! So we decided to make it a tradition and go back every year. We will be carving that fat pumpkin tonight!

Mataya loves going to the pumpkin patch! It beats picking out a pumpkin in walmart. And now we have something to look forward to each year.

We made it to Tyler's last game of the season. He lives and breaths football, and is a GREAT player. If I knew anything about football I could tell you what position he plays (he is the one who snaps the ball at the beginning of the play) haha I know a little! We can't wait for next year's season!

we miss you Brycen
