Happy Birthday Matthew!

Matthew turned 10 years old this week! He has been so excited for his birthday and had it all planned out. Over the weekend he wanted to go to "Nickel City" with his brothers and Aunt and Uncle. They had a great time and came home with pockets full of prizes!

The morning of his birthday he woke up at the crack of dawn and couldn't wait to open his presents!

He loved all of his gifts; Josh stayed up late the night before making him a wallet out of duct tape with a dollar inside!

I kidnapped Matthew from school, and we met Dallan for a birthday lunch at Legends Grill. He chose pizza, french fries and a giant cookie for his special lunch!

Matthew gives the best HUGS! He always know how to warm my heart with one of his giant squeezes!

After school we made his cake and enjoyed his birthday dinner with Grandma and Grandpa. He chose tacos for his special dinner and "beaver tracks" ice cream since one of his nick names is "the Beaver" (he used to love to chew on things when he was a little)

Some cousins and aunts and uncles came over to share cake and ice cream with us!

And we all enjoyed Matthew Trivia!

After dinner dinner grandma read him a poem she wrote just for him. You can read it here!

It was just perfect for my Matthew in the middle!

Some of Matthew's highlights this year:

Earning his Bear in cub scouts.

Learning how to mow the lawn.

Going on his first "Man Camp"

Riding the 4 wheelers with grandpa.

Winning the reflections contest at school with a poem he wrote.

Snuggling with Caleb every morning before he goes to school.

Happy birthday my sweet Matthew

I love you with all of my heart!
