Father and Son Car Wash

Our car needed a little love and attention so with the weather being somewhat cooperative today, mean it wasn't rainy or 65 and windy, Matthew helped me change the oil and give the car a bath. Although he didn't get to help me all that much with the oil change part, he just sat on a bucket and ate his Pear, He loved the washing part. Well mostly he loved playing with the soap suds and spraying the water everywhere! he even almost got me a few times. By the time we were done He was drenched and the wind started to kick up, so we ran up stairs and ate lunch and took a well deserved nap

Trunk or Treat

Our Church ward had their annual Halloween party along with a Trunk or Treat for the kids. Matthew had a Great time getting the treats, although he did do better saying thank you than actually asking for them. But we're working on it.

We decided to be different and handed out Mini popcorn packs and box's of Rasins. Most kids were pretty stoked on them but I did get attitude from one little girl.

We have to say thank to Leilani's mom for Sewing Matthew's Lion costume. Matthew loved growling with it on. She still need to finish the mane but it was still awesome.

Matthew wasn't sure how he felt about the guy in the Scare mask

We don't drink a lot of soda but when we do it's usually an Izze which is a no sugar added "natural" soda. But recently while we were at Whole Foods we saw these little guys on the top shelf and we had to get it. We use agave to sweeten a lot of our foods from pancakes to Oatmeal. so naturally we were interested in a soda that used it and it didn't disappoint.

just thought id share

Another year gone

Haircut

Its been awhile since Matthew's last haircut. and with it being so hot we decided it was time. So this weekend we got it cut. Lei and I have yet to attempt cutting it on our own. I was never very good with scissors. Maybe next time one of us will.

Eeeewwww... Matts response to me telling him not to chew on the letter Q


Ready to go shopping.


After Bath time.


He found my beanie in the closet last week and had fun putting it on and off. He also would fill it up with his small toys and then try to put it on his head. unfortunately i wasn't able to get any shots of that.

Happy 4th of July

Hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July. We spent the afternoon in Brookshire at a huge BBQ that Goose put on. It was crazy how much food he had there. Matthew had a great time munching on all the watermelon which helped keep him cool in the 100+ heat.




Goose had the Brookshire Fire Department bring an older style Fire truck for the kids to check out. It was pretty cool.
