Matthew is 11!


Matthew recently turned 11! I love being Matthew's mom- he charmed me from the minute he was born. He has a tender heart, a quick mind and a smile that melts us all. For his birthday he really wanted a kitty... The kitty he got wasn't quite what he had in mind but he loves it anyway!
I checked Matthew out from school to take him to lunch and he chose "all you can eat!"  
It made Dallan and I laugh to see him load up his plate with mac and cheese and french fries!  

Matthew chose pizza and chocolate cake for his birthday dinner.


We were all touched by Grandma's birthday story.  You can read it here.  (Thanks Mom!)

Matthew had a wonderful birthday surrounded by people he loves.  I know Caleb was with us as we celebrated his special buddy. 
Happy birthday my sweet Matthew.  

The past couple of months Matthew has been most proud of:
Being the chess champion of the whole school! (he even has an awesome trophy!)
Earning his arrow of light in cub scouts!
Winning the reflections contest with a photograph he took!
Getting 100% on his states and capitals test!

Happy 11th Birthday, Matthew. Your cake looks WONDERFUL! I love chocolate cake, too. I also love pizza!! So, those are two of my favorite things. Mac and cheese is a nice comfort food. Yum! And congratulations on all of your accomplishments this year. I am sure that you are very proud of what you have done and I know your family is as well. I'll bet that Caleb was sitting right on your shoulder guiding you along with his love for you.
