Matt's Bear

Matthew has worked so hard this year to get his Bear. And it would not have happened without his dad so it only seemed fitting that Dad receive the pin.

Matt is preparing to set afloat on the pond.

Matt loves the obstacle course... have a great time. The joys of being a kid.

He was so looking forward to shooting the bows and the guns... I wonder why his smile is not spread from ear to ear.

Matt was only able to pitch during one game this year.

The other games he played catcher. Here he is in the blue helmet.

We decided to take a trip to the top of Utah.

Yes that is snow Matt is standing in.

We took the tram at Snowbird to the top of Hidden Peek. There were some die hard snowboarders on the tram headed to hike to the snow and board down.

I need to take some time and add my pictures from Christmas day... but that is not going to happen today, but I want to share something Matt said last night.

We usually do not answer the phone if we do not know who is calling... note to all of you with unlisted numbers and toll free numbers, well last night when the phone rang Matt checked the screen to see who was calling and it said FRIENDS OF MS... He asked me if he should answer it because it must be for him, afterall it said Friends of MS for Matt Story. I thought that was a classic.

My baby girl is turning 19... who would believe that?

The dogs stress Ashley out, even though they did not jump on her but they loved the way she smelled.

Marley was very curious about who she was... At least they did not bark at her this time... Ash handles that pretty well... she laughs at them.

I must have been 9 years old when I had this beautiful child.

I would love to know what is going on in that mind of hers. It is sure a blessing that she is so happy. She loves to smile and loves to laugh... her laugh is infectious.... she has a way of making you want to laugh with her.

A few people came by to visit...

Great grandpa and grandma came by.. The first person Ashley always asks to see is her Bubs (aka great grandpa). She really is excited to see them... my photography skills just don't show it.

McKenzie has wanted to see Ash for a long time... so we made sure she had a chance to see her cousin.
