Robs birthday was last saturday and I had gotten him a nice gift from me, then it dawned on me! I haden't gotten him anything from Matthew. So Saturday morning Matt and I go to the store to pick out a card and a gift for dad.
We head straight for the cards and while walking down the row Matt reaches out and grabs a card from the shelf. It turns out to be a happy birthday daddy card that would be great so in the cart it went. On to the gift.
We start wandering down all the rows again and I keep telling him we are looking for a gift for dads birthday. Matt hardly makes a peep. we turn the corner and on all the shelves are brewers items, hats and shirts for all ages. Matt pipes up "dad . . . dad . . . dad" and points to an old school logo shirt. So by the time I find the right size all I hear is "dad . . . dad . . .dad" once it was in the cart he was quiet again.
Just like a man shopping, know what you want, get it and get out! I thought it was cute how Matthew picked out everything he gave to dad for his birthday.

Zoo Crazy
We love free zoo day! It was a wonderful day to spend outside learning new things. SueAnn and Rachel met Matt and me at our house and we took my car (Rob was helping re-roof a house). Now I drive this little car so fitting the wagon in was interesting but only took one bungee. Booth kids did really well. They loved riding in the wagon together. They got out and wandered all the buildings with us and had a pick-nick lunch by the lake. They fought a little about whose cup got to go where but no major melt downs or public beatings. We took a train ride at the very end and I thought Matt would come unglued when we had to get off, he did really well and had a great fun day. He learned how to say, Turtle and Fish, he is learning things so quickly.
All right a train ride!
I don't know about this cousin.
We then decided to keep playing together at the Moss house. With a fast pit stop at my house to change cars and get provisions off we went. I was sure Matt was so tired from the day he would nap in the car, no luck. Not even a snooze when I layed him down at the house. So back outside we went to jump and run and play.
By 6:30pm Mom was tired of being on the move all day and Matt was so tired he didn't know what to do more, whine, act goofy or throw fits. We could hardly stand each other. He was in bed and asleep before 7:10. It was a fun day and I'm glad it only comes around once in a while.

Happy Birthday ROB
Rob turned the big 33 this year on saturday. We really didn't do much to celabrate. I had to work most of the day. I did take him out to dinner at Texas Road House. We had a great time. It is not offten we get to spend adult time together. Either we are passing eachother, sleeping or wrapped up in Matthew. It was even hard coming up with things to say that didn't envolve Matthew, how our lives have changed! It was nice to remeber that we are still a couple who need together time. Before it was what ever, now it is all for what is best for Matthew. My inlaws took Matthew overnight for us, it really sucks living 30 min away form our biggest supporters otherwise ue would have picked him up and all gone home.
Sorry to say Robs birthday was not all about him. I fianaly got a room in our house finished. All we needed was the celing painted and trim put up. That trim really makes a diffrence, it looks like a room now. We made it a room for all of Matthews toys to go.
Rob did however get a really nice Birthday gift from me. He has been wanting a fast lap top for work so he can talk to some of the machines through it. Well he got it, and it is much nicer than mine I almost want to trade but then he won't be able to work so I'm stuck with the older one. I guess it is better than nothing.
So here is a happy birthday to a swell guy.

Happy Easter
Sadly some little fingers wanted to play with the lense on my camera and now it is broke. I feel at a loss bloging without the aid of pictures and we miss the fun firsts of Matthew exploring. Oh well what did they do 40 years ago?
Matthew loves running around with his cousin Rachel ouside and tries to do everything she does. A few weeks ago the moss house had a digger there hooking htem up to the main sewer. Matthew was glued to it and really wanted to drive it. A week ago daddy was asked to help take down some trees out there. If the wood chipper was going that is were you would find Matthew watching trieing to figure out how it worked. Rachel wanted nothing to do with these things so I guess they are a little diffrent in some ways.
SueAnn has taken on the challange of watching Matthew for me when I go to work. I think it will great for the cousins to be able to play with eachother and get to know eachother. I never got that chance with my cousins and I wish I did.
Easter was great, all the good food, all the family and the egg hunt. Matthew was all about finding the eggs and even putting them in his bucket, but if he egg made a sound when it was shook he had to open it to find out what made the noise. It only took once for mom to figure out to watch him like a hawk, he opened one to see and all the candy whent in the dirt. Now how am I going to raid his loot if its all in the dirt? I had to help him put his eggs in the bucket. Oh well now with the weahter getting nicer we are visiting the park more ofter, Matt has no fear! I wants to climb to the top of the BIG kid slide and go down so mom has to climb up with him and go to. I must be having a b-day soon, man I getting to old to play at the playground. I go to wear matthew out but it is usually me how gets tired first.
