Update in Pictures of Matt

Matt is doing great, well, as great as one can be while deployed to somewhere as AWESOME as Afgahnistan, haha. He is very ready, as are we all, for him to come home and as this deployment is getting closer and closer to the end I want to make sure that I get some of the great photo's he has taken onto the blog so that when we print next years blog book we will have them forever. Since it's not like he can sit and discuss his day to day over there I can say, it was cold....it's now hot..lol very hot and he's ready to trade it for Louisiana heat! For those of you who have so sweetly sent packages and letters he really appreciates them and doens't always have the time to email or write a thank you, so this is me thanking you for showing Matt in action not just word how much you love him!
Love you Baby! We can't wait to get you home for good!

This one is alllll for me. Sigh! He takes pictures sometimes that just give me butterflies in my tummy. This is most definatly one of those!

HEHE ya, he has a mustache............a mustache! Frankly it kills me because I think all mustaches are....gross or weird or both but hey if you're gonna have one...better look this good! Think he was rather adorable with it yes!

Go speed racer, go, go, speed racer!

I love this photo. I love seeing him in any photo's with the Afghan people there. It reminds me to think with a gentle heart and not lump all of them together, because not all of them are his enemy.

The Husbnd/Father/Soldier

My fantastic partner and Father of our kids is Matt. He's a hunka-hunka hotness and over all amazing! He's a Cavalry Scout (19D) and LOVES his job. He may not be home as much as any average Dad but the time he is home he does all he can to make up for the times he has to be gone. He's a great Father and amazing husband. I mean how amazing do you have to be to take on three kids that aren't yours and love them like they are, and STILL want two of your own. lol 6 ( Matt has a gorgeous step daughter from a previous marriage whose Mother has asked us not to mention or share photos of online and out of respect for her rights as the Mother we will attempt to stick to this so thats why I say 6 kids) kids later and he hasn't run away screaming or been sent to the looney bin yet! He's one heck of a Soldier and he's my best friend. Matt would rather be at home with his family exploring the places we live than be most anywhere else and we love that about him. I love you baby!

Michael

Michael is my BIG BOY, the one who really wants to try and be responsible but forgets two minutes later..lol..He's so smart and has such a tender heart. He is in 8th grade, loves football, soccer and choir. He has read the entire Harry Potter series a12 time now. His mind works in such amazing ways there are some days I wonder if he doesn't know more than I do and just doesn't know how to articulate it yet! He's my emotional one, he needs tenderness and love and fun and that boy would do ANYTHING for you! I wish I had the thirst for knowledge the way he seems to!!

Cody Bear

Yes this kid is a bear, or better yet a TANK! He's huge and rough and tumble but when it comes to taking care of his baby brother he's as gentle as.....a bull in a china shop..lol..but he has the best intentions! He is fantastic at football, soccer, and loves movies and reading! He's sweet when he wants too be but has a strong little personality. He's sporty and smart smart smart! But he is definatly a Momma's boy and I love it! He excels in school and has green eyes that melt my soul ! This picture says it all! Boy has got style and confidence!

Matty

This Boy is just one of those joyful beings! He makes me smile 24 hours a day! I love watching him learn. He's funny and sweet and smart. He loves doing anything his big brothers do and is my cuddle bug! I hope I never have to give that part up! He'll lay in bed at night snuggleing his momma and touch me in a way that says..."I'm a big boy, I don't need you here...but man I love you being here" he has so much love for anyone and everyone! He's is also our little soccer star, this boy has lightening in his little feet! He has finally discovered the family love of reading in himself and is my quiet boy....part Navy Seal I tell ya, this boy will be in a room with you for a good long while before you'll ever notice!

Aidan

This little nugget is NAUGHTY with a capital N! He's in those fabulous toddler years and it's a good thing he's so darn cute when he's in a good mood, it has to make up for all the stinker he tosses our way five minutes later. He's smart as can be and for the last year has known his ABC's, shapes and colors. He loves to try anything his older brother's do and is attached at the hip to Cody and Matthew. He loves his big brothers and is very protective of his little brother (so long as he doesn't want to play with one of His toys..lol).

Mr. X

Our wee little man is just a precious as a baby can be and fortunately for us, the easiest child we've had to date, either we are getting good at this child rearing nonsense or we really lucked out..lol He's slept through the night since about 2 weeks old, nurses like a champ, is baby led weaning (eating our table food and no puree's ). The little heffalump took a long time to start crawling (9 months) but is walking around furniture and taking a step here and there and Mommy is NOT, I repeat NOT ready for this little dude to grow up just yet!
