My Matthew turned nine this past week.
Nine
My little boy who was born on a snowy winter day
is nine
Matthew is one special kid.
He has a gentle heart and a passionate spirit.
He shares a heavenly bond with his little brother Caleb.
I think it was forged long before they came to earth.
Matthew has a zest for life and a twinkle in his eye.
He's a savvy fellow and is always cooking up plans to earn money and have adventures
His loves this year:
goose bump books
Legos
beanie babies
frozen lemonade at BYU games
Our make a wish play ground
the "sand pit" that was in the empty lot next to us
Things I'm especially proud of:
He's had a personal goal to read his scriptures every single night and rarely misses
He takes a special interest in his little brothers
He is an excellent student
He earned his BEAR in cub scouts!
He's playing basketball for the first time ever.
I love that we have a special hand shake when I drop him off for school, and I'm so glad that he still wants me to give him a "tuck" at night.
He is my very first gift of Winter...
You have my heart forever Matty.

What a lovely boy. I LOVE his cake!
Wow, what a beautiful attribute. I'm drooling over that cake!
He sounds just like my son Carter who is 8 and a half. We should get together to play during Christmas break and see how they get along...801 367 6122
Happy Birthday, Matthew. And, I can't believe how big Caleb is getting. You have a very special family.
9! I just realized how close in age he and Ben are. I am so impressed with all that he has accomplished this year. Way to go sweet Matty! And I just love the bond he shares with Caleb - reminds me of the one Stevie and Ben shared. xoxo
