Christmas 2010

Yes, I know I am behind. But I am never going to get caught back up unless I start somewhere so here goes with the present! Here is Matthew & Santa in Dec 2010 along with some of our family pictures taken earlier this fall.

Matthew 4th B-day party

 

Going to school now!!!

Mommy is so far behind on updating this blog, but I guess that just means that we have had a very busy summer and she hasn't been inside much on the computer!

I have so many more pictures to update but I have to start somewhere and these are just too precious to not put up until later!

As many of you know, our neighborhood just recently built our own elementary school just a few hops, skips and jumps from our home! It is so nice and convenient and I have been counting the days for Victoria to start kindergarten and me to start preschool as well. Both of us are in the morning class so Mommy drops us both off and picks us up at the same time, which means that she gets a little bit of a break each day!

Here are some pictures of my life as a student now!
Going to sneek-a-peek to check out my classroom, which luckily, I was already quite familiar with because Eva went here last year. I am learning how to open my own locker.

Checking out all the new toys that they have to play with!

Walking to school on my first day!

I begged Mommy to let me ride my bike to school, training wheels and all!
Victoria has no interest in riding a bike to school, she really doesn't even like to walk, but Mommy says we will as long as the weather is nice.

Waiting at the crosswalk.
I made it! Poor Mommy had to walk my bike back home and bring it back for me when I get out of school because the bike rack to lock it up on is clear across the other side of the school and it would take longer to walk it there than it would to walk it home! LOL!

Hot Air Balloon Show!

Do you like our shirts?

I love how no one can open their eyes - it is so bright!

Worlds of Fun Outing

I wanted to do this ride over and over again!
Yes, I know I am cute!




This was my favorite room - we threw balls at Daddy till he couldn't get up anymore!

Superman!

This is ME. Showing YOU my muscles.

March of Dimes Walk 2010

My favorite part of the March of Dimes Walk was getting to tour the firetruck!

2010 Class Picture

Well, you know how I hate to smile for professional photos (any photos these days actually!) Well, Mommy got smart and decided to bribe me with the #1 thing that motivates me best - MONEY. And not just any money. Chucky Cheese Money. I refused to smile or even look at the photographer until she made me a deal and then I was all smiles for him - I gave him the biggest cheesiest grin I could muster. Too bad she didn't negotiate the class picture smile as well. That one was my regular deer in the headlight look. Oh well, at least I was looking in the camera.

Tori's little "sister"

One day while Tori and I were "napping", she discovered that she had a "sister". After some time, she came downstairs and Tori introduced her new "sister" to Mommy. This sister was dressed from head to toe in Tinkerbell dressup clothes- dress, high heels, bracelets, necklace, and headband. Isn't she cute? Too bad I was asleep and missed meeting her. I think I would have liked her a lot.

Our Ant Farm

This is what our ant farm looked like before Mommy over watered them and drowned them all! We still have about 10 left - hopefully they will survive! Mommy is refusing to open the lid to feed them now because they keep escaping - hopefully the green gel is enough to nourish them!

I'm ALL boy!

These photos are dedicated to my Grandma who is going to have a heart attack seeing all my favorite worms!

Day at Fritz Restaurant

After the church Easter Egg Hunt, we continued the festivities at my favorite local restaurant - Fritz. This is Kansas version of the Varsity for you Atlanta people back home. But, what makes it cooler is that you sit at your table to order your food through a telephone and then a train brings your food to your table! It drops it off and then lowers it to your booth! See the video clip of our food being delivered!

Easter Hunt

We got to dye Easter eggs already and it was so much fun - we just kept dunking them over and over again and made all sorts of new designs. Unfortunately for Mommy, though, i preferred to use my barehands so I was about as colorful as the eggs!
Later we did a hunt for candy eggs and I helped Mommy hide all the eggs for the daycare kids to find. Mommy was a bit amazed at my technique - I chose to hide almost all the eggs in the same spot. Can you find them? Lucky for me, I "found" most of the eggs myself and got to eat most of the candy! I'm so smart! :)
