I also wanted to post some pictures of Matthew throughout the years (Thanks Tara for the idea.)

Matthew's 8 years old!

Matthew turned 8 years old on February 10. He wanted to go to Classic Skating for his birthday party so we invited all the cousins. They had alot of fun skating,riding their scooters pushing Samantha in the stroller and having Bill rollerblade around the rink while holding them and everyone taking a turn. I tried to get a picture of that but it always turned out blurry.
We had pizza, opened presents and had cake. Of course all the kids took one bite and went back to skating. No one wanted to leave. It really was alot of fun. So if you are looking for a fun activity go try skating!
When Matthew opened his presents he was excited with what he got. He got a pair of basketball shorts but when he pulled them out he saw they were green and said "Hulk pants!" He was so excited. Can you tell what his favorite character is?

Bills Birthday!

We celebrated Bills 35th birthday on February 6. He decided he wanted to take the family out and do something fun so we went to Chuck e Cheese. The kids had a blast. For 2 hours or so they ran around playing games and collecting tickets like chickens with their heads cut off! It was crazy, but worth it. All those tickets in the end got them a couple tootsie rolls and sticky throw toys that leave marks on my walls!
They did have a cool sketch machine that takes your picture, sketches it and prints it for you.
