Gabe really didn't want Matthew sitting next to him. He had just woken up in a BAD mood and was trying to push him off my lap. That stinker! 

Mama 

Everytime Gabe would go down the slide Matthew would go up to him and give him a big kiss. Gabe liked it at first, but after the third or fourth time it got a little old for him. 

There was a small slide in the pool that both the kids enjoyed.

The neighbors let us borrow their kiddie pool yesterday and Matthew had such a GREAT time in it!

Waiting for my prince charming to rescue me haha -- I don't like having pictures taken by myself, so I made the horse keep me company. 

Well, I had an interesting night last night! I got Matthew a big boy bed on Saturday and last night was his first night in his new bed (in the same room with Gabe). Gabe wasn't feeling well, so he didn't fall asleep till later than normal. At around 1am Gabe started crying and Matthew started coughing and then woke up crying as well, so I went into the room and Gabe was at the edge of his crib with his legs through the posts as far as they could go and he couldn't get out. I picked him up and looked over at Matthew and he had puked all over his new bed and one of his stuffed animals. So, after getting it all cleaned up and the kids calmed down. I ended up sleeping with two sick kids in my bed. So much for a fun first night in his big boy bed!!  

Eissss!!! 

I love his hair in this one! 

My poor baby was sick all yesterday. He had a fever up to 101.4 -- thankfully when he wasn't cranky at all, he just wanted to be held and to sleep a lot. His temp feels like it went down this morning, praise God!!! 

Matthew toting around his favorite dinosaurs and animals -- he used to run around with just two animals at a time, one in each hand, but now he feels like he's gotta have an arm full. 

Here's one for Ben ... we miss you!!! Love you!!! Today I mentioned dad and Matthew got all excited and kept asking me ... "Where's dad? Where's dad?" 

HEY! What are they doing??? 

Look at those trucks!! 

Matthew's new haircut. I had to cut it shorter ... it's just so hot here and he was sweating a lot.
