Mommy and Matthew time pre-baby

He couldn't wait to show me his art project....lol and he was so proud of himself...how do you get mad at that?

Roaring is a special talent of Matthew's...wether it be a lion, a tiger a bear, or a dinosaur:)

The last few weeks before baby Dilynn came I was feeling sad about not having these special times with my little Matthew man. He is so special to me and so much a part of my heart that I was worried how I ould ever love anyone else so much. I am in awe of this little man and his spunk for life and the joy he finds in the smallest things...He bings me to tears (in laughter) on a daily basis with the things he does and says and I am so incredibly blessed to be his mother. I can't wait to see what he does next:)

If you give a Matthew a cookie....

He's gonna make a gigantic mess...but thoroughly wnjy every minute of it:) and of course he'll ask for more:)

Matthew's 2nd Birthday

I can't believe he's 2!!!!!! I think if I weren't already pregnant I would have had a total meltdown that my baby is 2!!!!! We decided on Chuck E Cheese for the party and we had a lot of fun...it was a little chaos but still super fun and although I don't have picture documentation for a lot of it I saw a lot of the adults being pretty hilarious on the games...my Mom was killing this sniper game and I'm not gonna lie I was super impressed and a little scared lol:) but it was fun to all be together...can't wait for Jeremiah and Carrie and their gang to get back to town so we can have them at these things to:)

PIZZA NIGHT!!!!!!

So this is normaly something Kurt and I do after Matthew goes to bed but lately Matthew wants to help and he says "my make it" or "my do it" or "my help" so we let him and it was pretty funny and priceless:) again Kids make everything that much better:) Thanks Kurt for being so patient and letting him help...these are the memories worth having for sure and the ones to hold on to when life gets too busy and too crappy:) You are the best Kurt and in Matthew's words "you're great Dad"

What would we do without Explora

We always have to take advantage of our Dad time since Medical School is so time consming and Kurt hardly gets to see Matthew. So when Kurt has breaks we have our favorite spots to take him:) Matthew loves explora and I seriously recomend it to anyone who lives here in Albuquerque its so fun....and I just have to say while I don't condone the not sharing his drumsticks with his Dad it was nice that he offered them to me:) seriously nice to get the appreciation sometimes from the little man...it's not always easy to be Mom but when they do sweet things like that it makes it all worth it:)

My Boys Building Trains

Matthew got some trains from Santa for Christmas so Kurt and him spent a good 45min putting them together....lol only to have it torn a part within minutes but I think it was the male bonding that was most important.....and talk about a lesson in patience for both of them:)
