I don't have any pictures on my computer yet to go along with this post but I think Matthew's birthday this year was a hit for him. He loved his gifts (new basketball shoes, and automatic fish feeder for his aquarium, a movie, and some music) but his favorite part was the day itself. He can no longer claim to be an unspoiled kid! His day started with breakfast in bed. He got fed french toast (made with texas toast) eggs, sausage and juice. For lunch I made a VERY good sandwich served with his favorite chips. I made a double chocolate cake with chocolate frosting (Matthew's request) and for dinner steak, yummy potatoes, and salad. He was waited on all day long and loved every minute of it!!!
The stock show was last weekend. After all the hours spent with his steer- Tyler and Big Red are finally at the show...
And Red actually cooperated too!
Some times the steer just doesn't want to go where they do.....and then they cheat
This year for Christmas Matthew got a new stereo for his car (no cassette player anymore) Kary spent 3 hours installing it while Matthew supervised. Matthew drove us to grandma's house so he could show us how well his stereo works.
Tyler got new boots, and a touch MP3 player. Both boys are lovin' life! As for me- my favorite part of Christmas day was Craig's phone call. He's doing GEAT.
This year Tyler put up all the lights at our house by himself. He said he was going to do things "his way"
I think he used more lights thn we ever have in the past. I kept expecting him to run out of lights.
