Future Worship Leader?

We’ve already seen that the boy can “preach,” now he’s showing off his singing abilities (he even does the echo in some parts).  This is one of the songs from our Christmas series at church and he has been singing it non-stop for two weeks – in the car, in the bathtub, at lunch, at [...]

Start your engines, it’s party time!

Matthan loves race cars, so that’s exactly what he wanted to do for his 3rd birthday party.  He chose two of his favorite NASCAR drivers, Jimmy Johnson and Kasey Kahne (he has their toy cars) as the main attraction for the party – Jimmy Johnson cake and Kasey Kahne piñata – the boy knows what [...]

I can not believe you are three today, THREE! You are a big boy now and you make sure that we all know it.  I have loved seeing how you’ve grown and changed throughout this past year.  Your personality continues to develop, and if it’s even possible, I love you more and more each day.  [...]

Matthan … The First Year

All we’ve [...]

He’s gonna make a great husband

I walked into the kitchen last week to see an open fridge and an open silverware drawer …

Matthan called me into the bedroom yelling, “Ta Da!” as soon as I walked in.

He’d set up a picnic for us, so I would feel better (sweet boy).  He chose his favorite kind of apple sauce for himself [...]

Tree Hugger

Most of my Halloween pictures ended up looking like this …

All that means though, is that my little tree had a fabulous time running from house to house collecting candy and working up a nice little sweat (we had to go with shorts cause it was way too hot).

Love this picture my friend, Lindsay, photo [...]

The making of a halloween costume

Matthan decided what he wanted to be for Halloween weeks and weeks ago.  It was a pretty unusual request so I thought for sure he would change his mind and go for something I could buy, like a race car driver or Buzz Lightyear.  I have absolutely no idea where he came up with his [...]

The funny things he says, part 2

On the way to visit a friend, Matthan had a little accident so I just decided to make a quick stop at Wal-Mart to buy him some pants.  I explained what we were doing to him and this was his response – “Wal-Mart? That is unacceptable Mommy!” I’m not sure when he became such a [...]
