Birthday & Wrestling

Matt had a wonderful 8th birthday celebration with all of his family and his bestie Dennis.  They played and played Star Wars stuff.  Matt got a nice, new guitar for his gift from us.  He will start lessons this week with Aviron.  I think that he will love it!  Thank YOU for all of the wonderful wishes, and gifts you all!
On Saturday, we helped with our home wrestling meet.  It was a great day!  Matt decided to wrestle in this one, and did VERY well.  He pinned two of his opponents!  He ended up with 2nd place!  YES!  He did tell me that he had fun, but doesn't want to wrestle this next meet.  Oh well......
Andy did exceptionally well.  He got beat in one match by 3 points.  He pinned the other two opponents.  So, we are learning. And Jeff and I were SO PROUD of the boys!  They are really getting "it".
Meggie had fun with her cousin Joel from Paxton.  She idolizes him, and is his little shadow!  FUNNY!
Well, the time change has messed with us this morning.  Andy stomped his way up the hill to school.  He wanted to stay home!  Naw, you have to pass third grade, dude! 
Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Matt-Man!

Matt- 2010 Olympic Alley Luge Gold Medal Winner

Today, our baby boy is turning 8 years old!  I can't believe it!  He was a suprise from the get go.  We didn't think that we were so fertile!  And one month before Andy's first birthday, we found out we were expecting!  YEA! But, oh so overwhelming on Jeff & I.  Especially being a working momma.....  I worked until the day before Matt was born..... he came out with lots of hair, and was a snuggle-bug from then on.  We have enjoyed Matt's little antics, and love that he still loves to snuggle.... it's like traction for him.  Especially when he is having a hard moment.  I just hold him tight, and it is all better within minutes.  Matt is a special kid.  No, he is my heart.  And I love spending our Thursday afternoons together.  Today, he has chosen to go to Taco Johns for birthday lunch before his therapy..... I guess, whatever!  Anyhoo, we went to parent/teacher conferences a few days ago.  Mrs. S. sure enjoys him, too.  She told us that he is a little reader, and can't get enough!  She has tried to ease up on the homework for him in the past, and he insists on doing it ALL.  He has set goals for himself!  I am so, so PROUD!  All this from a kid with Austism Spectrum!  He will succeed!  He will be a tax-payer, and not live in my house as a adult! YES! YES!  I love my little Matt.  He is so precious........................  I am so PROUD of him.
His birthday plans are to have supper with Auntie, Unckie and Miranda tonight.  Dennis -his best bud- will be staying the night, too.  Then tomorrow, we will go get the God-Cousins -Blundell's- and go bowling and have supper/cake/ice cream with all!  Grandma Bonnie,Grandpa Bill & Joel are coming tomorrow evening, too!

Wrestle Mania!

We traveled to Gordon for the meet on Saturday, and it was the CRAPPIEST roads ever!  Sami and her kids rode with us... it was an adventure.  The kids drove us nuts!  So, we had to divide and conquer, by separating the kids...
Anyhow, Andy had a tough bracket.  He wrestled a kids from Chadron who beat him by 2 points.  Andy wrestled his heart out!  Then in round two, the same scenerio.  Andy got beat by two points!  DANG IT!  I guess we have some things to learn about obtaining points.  Anhoo, the last round Andy whooped the kid by 18 to 2 points.... AJ just couldn't seem to pin him!  So, he ended up taking 3rd place.  It was sad, but a learning experience for Andy.
Matt-man decied to sit this meet out.  Competitive sports are tough on him, he seems to not handle the losing situation AT ALL.... so I will leave it up to him.  Matt did have a good time cheering for his team mates.... he loves his buddies Dennis, Rope, Will, and the Morava twins.  He said that next week he will wrestle.... it is our home meet...  Should be lots of fun!  Grandma and Grandpa Wendland will be here from Paxton. The kids are so EXCITED!  It is Matt-man's birthday weekend!

It's the FrOsTiNg.....

Yesterday was Meggie's snack day for pre-school.  I said to her that she will take the little oranges to school to share with her classmates.  Meggie said to me, "No Momma, I wanna take somethin' good-er!" I said to her, "those are yummy oranges, and you love them...and your friends will too."  "No Momma, I want something with FROSTING!"  "Frosting is good on everything!" 
Then today, Megs asked what is paper made of?  I said... trees of course.  She said, "Well. they must put frosting on the top and let it dry to make it white!"
Tee Hee!  Funny girl!

Wacky Wednesday!

Today, Mrs. S declared 2nd grade shall wear their pajamas to school!  Whoo HOO!  So, Mr. Matt left with his Star Wars (he's a S.W. junkie!) PJ's on, and then he thought he should wear sweats over them so he could walk to school.  Good choice, my boy! 
So, hopefully THE FORCE will be WITH HIM today!
Have a great day! (((((HUGS))))))))))
