My Son

I love to brag about my son and how cute he is. I sometimes think he can not get any more adorable, but he always surprises me. Matthew is starting to talk more and more coherent words (at least Matt and I can understand them) and they just keep getting better. The best word he says right now is bubble. I have never seen a kid who loves bubbles more. He will come up to Matt or I and just say "bubble" until we stop what we are doing and go blow bubbles.

He also says duck and when ever he sees a duck he yells duck and then quacks. The last and kind of disturbing thing he does is hiss when we change his diaper. We are not sure who taught him that but he thinks there is a snake in his pants. We have these a-z flash cards with animals on them and we have been teaching him the names and sounds of all the animals. One day in the tub he was looking down and started hissing. I think it is hilarious but I am sure it will not be funny when he is 15.

Matthew says a lot more words but these are the cutest. I will post some video of him in the near future.

Politics

I have been really frustrated lately with all that is going on in the world. My biggest problem with politics is all the flip flopping going on. If you really believe something then stick with it. If you don't get re-elected; oh well. At least we know what you believe and you will hold strong.

I'm already not an Obama supporter but it seems like everyday he does something to piss me off more. He said a year ago that we (America) are not going to divide the city of Jerusalem and it is the capital of Israel and then a few days later he said we should change the borders back to the way they were in 1967. Is that not dividing the city? I guess he meant we would not divide it with barbed wire.

Watch the two clips below and see what I am talking about!

Life Update

I have not posted much about our family life lately so, this will be an update.

Matt and I are doing great. I am officially finished with school and Matt has decided to quit his job and go to school full time. He only has a year left if he goes full time. YAY!!! His last day of work was about a week ago and he has been enjoying his time off. He had not had a Saturday off in over a year! Him and Little Buddy have just been spending quality father/son time.

Little Matthew is also doing great. He is getting sooooo big. He is walking and talking and all things boy. He loves being outside but the Utah weather has been so unpredictable lately. We would go to the park but the only nice days come right after a big rain storm. Leaving the ground a big mess.

We took a little family vacation to Arizona this past weekend with some friends of our from Ogden and it was so nice to get away. Our plan was to take the jet ski out and lay on the beach but we had not anticipated the big celebration going on. There were hundreds of boats on lake and it was so choppy. We (Emily and I) did lay on the beach and Matt and our friend Blake went snorkeling/spearfishing. Little Buddy played in the sand and a little in the water. The temperature was a perfect 85 degrees. The wind killed the rest of the trip, as far as jet skiing goes. There were white caps out on the lake that we probably could have went surfing on.

You should be caught up for now. I will keep you posted.
