Matthew turned 9 today. He wanted to go to Seven Peaks for his birthday so we spent the day there going down the slides and relaxing in the lazy river. Below is a picture of him with his coveted Ripstick he's been begging for all year. He had to have a blue one, not red! It's a BYU thing with him--everything has to be blue. This forced his mom to go to every WalMart in the valley until she found him a blue one. (I also think we're pass the days of $10 gifts, bummer.) Hopefully he doesn't break any body parts when he's riding it!!! You are such a caring, smart and obedient kid Matthew. Mom and Dad love you so much!!!!!
Being at Seven Peaks all day mom didn't have a chance to make Matthew a cake so we compromised and had ding dongs instead. (I think he actually prefered them over cake anyway.)
I also had to add in this funny picture of Gracie singing to me at Seven Peaks. She was having such a good time!
Turning 9 meant that Matthew graduated from a bobcat to a wolf in Scouts. At pack meeting this month Matthew earned lots of awards and he even got marked with a wolf paw print on his forehead. His Grandma and Grandpa were able to come see him get all his awards which he was very happy about!

Happy Birthday Matthew!! We think you are awesome!!
Happy Birthday Matthew! I can't believe he is 9 years old. You guys don't seem old enough to have a kids that age. He's such a cute kid and so good too.
Happy Birthday Matthew! Ding Dongs are the best!!
