Matthew

In Welches, OR (about 45 min from Portland)

Don't be deceived by the smile on my face. It was FRRRRRReezing, rainy, snowy,...for hours in the wilderness. ;-) I am putting on a happy face for my happy 5th grader.

Ok....seriously....can you tell that's a fish? Right in the middle next to the biggest rock....I had 8 5th graders trying to get me to see if for about twenty minutes before I finally saw it!

Matthew played the part of Mr. Hill, the railroad owner, in his school play. He played the piano for one of the songs they sang. It was awesome.

Matthew at the District Pinewood Derby. He won two trophies but I can't remember which places. Like 2nd for his den and 4th overall i think....

Vacation Day

My camera is zoomed in way too far...but the pictures still tell a story. An awesome day!

Girl's Camp at Hoodoo

A few pictures! I didn't get nearly as many as I would have liked to have. What a fun week!

Painted Hills

Braden at the Father and Son Campout at Priest Hole near Painted Hills.

After swimming, the party came back home for pizza, cupcakes and presents! Matthew was really happy with his day!

And here's one of our favorite missionaries! He's a little bit taller than me!

Cousins at Smith Rock

The big formation in the background is monkey face. Can you see the monkey face? And I'm not talking about ours. ;-)
