We also had a few messes, that I know you'd rather not hear about, but let me just say this...combine a kid with a stomach bug with a sick Mom changing a stomach bugged diaper and a kid who LOVES to grab his diaper and swing it around...well, lets just say, Mom ran to the bathroom, Matthew was covered...as was the wall in his room. Okay, so maybe that was an over share, but there you go. This blog is about life right?!?! That is my "real life" right now! :)
Young Life had its annual golf tournament this week. Good thing for Matty, Brian is not much of a golfer and they had a blast just driving around on the cart for hours.
Here he is hanging with some Young Life kiddos in the golf cart.
Here is Matthew with some of the other Young Life kiddos...having his very first chocolate chip cookie :) Happy Boy!
We could not peel Matty off the golf cart. He was in the drivers seat making car noises the whole time. THinking he is showing the bog kids how its done.
Brian said at one point, he jumped out of the cart for a "split second" (Dads terminology) and he turned around to find Matthew pressing the gas, with the break off and rolling forward. He made it about 6 feet before Brian caught him...way too tempting for a 1 year old is all I can say!
We always get a few good play days with the neighbors outside. Jack and Matty in a pink Barbie Jeep...cant you just see this same pose 16 years from now after a mudding trip? And likely not in a pink Barbie Jeep...
We totally have a golfer on our hands! He LOVES the small set of clubs Brian bought him..rain or shine!
MOST IMPORTANTLY!!! Big hugs for Daddy as he took off this morning for Isreal and Turkey. We are VERY excited for all the wonderful things he will learn and see, but there were LOTS of tears (mainly from Mom) before sending Daddy off for 17 days!
Praying for a great and rich trip babe, and that you will come back to us safe and sound! We love you more than you know.

great post - glad y'all are on the mend - looks like y'all are having fun!
Oh, that sounds quite awful. Hopefully those stomach bugs only hit every few years (at least they used to only hit every few years). Glad you are feeling better! B - have safe travels!
I so sorry you're sick friend! Still love Matty though, no matter how much he makes you yack...
Oh, you should totally get Matthew a pink bronco for his first car. Then, he won't be as tempted to show off his cool tricks in front of his friends. I'll get Ryan a station wagon.
