My beautiful Matt :)








I'll start with the lecture: If you read my blog, leave a comment. That way I'll know that I'm not doing this for nothing. This means everyone. I want to see a record number of comment on this post telling me that you read my blog and how much you love that I take the time to do it. :) End of Lecture.
Now for the pool. We went swimming today and I had to post these really cute picture I took. Hallie has started trying to swim and Matt has been working with her a lot. She puts her whole head under the water and stays under for a good 4 or 5 seconds. She's so brave. Matt has been working really hard today on sanding down my piano so we can refinish it. I'm really excited for the final result, and to have a piano in my house. I also have some sad news, dance just isn't going to work out. Hallie won't participate. She's just too young, we'll try again next year. And for my last little bit of sad news... Hallie AND Chase both had to get immunizations yesterday. Oh it was awful. Hallie WIGGED and had to be pinned down for it, then screamed her head off for a good 20 minutes afterward. When the Dr. tried to give her a sucker for getting her shot, she threw it across the room at her. And my poor little Chase who never ever cries, he cried real tears that nearly broke my heart. So we got home last night with two grouchy and emotionally exhausted kids. Last little tid bit of information, Hallie got her first hair cut yesterday. Nothing drastic, just the long stragglers in the back.

Hi! I read your blog all the time! It is so fun to see what is going on! My computer is lame, so it's hard for me to leave comments, but I am your biggest fan! :)

So far so good....glad to know you are all out there still :). Amy- we do have an underwater casing for our camera, but not the cannon, Matt has a sony cybershot that's about 4 or 5 years old- we have an underwater casing for that one. It was SOOOO nice to have when we were living in Hawaii... but haven't gotten much use out of it since.

Okay, heard the lecture loud and clear! I started checking your blog when Matt emailed the cute pics of baby Chase, and I got hooked! We dont see you much, so it's nice to check in on you guys. The kids are absolutely adorable, and McKenzie especially loves seeing the baby pictures - she asks for them everytime I sit at the computer.

Thanks for the entertainment!

I read your blog tons! My only complaint is that you don't post enough! Your kids are soooo CUTE! Thanks Matt for letting me know about the blog-so I can check up on you guys- I feel like I know you and we've never even met! Just know you have friends in Portland, and if we ever go down to Disneyland we are all going out!
