Matthew and the Lion ... AND a new milestone!

Here it is!!! The big 6 year old Matthew and the Lion shot. I love it! :)

And incidentally, Matthew learned to ride without training wheels today.

Matthew art

We thought the glue-cicles were pretty cool. Finally, I have figured out what weird stuff is on my washing machine lid... heh

Matthew drew a leprechaun - I just love this happy dancing little guy.

Grace

Our new hamster Grace. Matthew took four days to find just the perfect name...

The Marina

A non-profit organization keeps the tugboat running now and they give tours apparently on random weekends.

Then we stirred up a little trouble and ignored a sign that said don't play on the train tracks.

I like to teach my children that common law doesn't apply to them! (Kidding, kidding)

Spring time - my eyes are itching just looking at this picture. Most of Olympia is in full bloom (achoo). My allergies are so bad, I am actually on an inhaler these days... but it's pretty out there!

Seahawks Super Tigers 1st game

We had some excitement Friday night - Matthew's first soccer game. The name of the team is the Seahawks Super Tigers.

Kaitlyn, a girl from our Bible study, is on the team with him and she is amazing - definitely the star player. Matthew mostly just followed her around and did what she did... smart boy! :) (He is 52)

Jake sat and watched the entire game. He had more concentration on it than Matthew!
