Cash Reuben Matheson

Long story short back in the days of Jr.high, and high school I had a friend who went to Juanita High school. His name was Ryan. As I grew up we both went through family junk, and struggles not too terrible common for our age. Thankfully the LORD presented me with a protective brother in Christ through Ryan. As we went through our teenage years as friends we both came to deeply love the LORD. I went off to college, and he worked away around here. When I came to visit I found him at Mars Hill Church in Ballard, Washington with a lovely girlfriend named Melanie. Ryan questioned my relationship with my boyfriend, now my husband Tommy, to protect me from jerks. As life progressed I married that non-jerkish-man, and Ryan was part of our wedding as a reader of scripture. Next up Ryan and Melanie were married and I was a super preggo bridesmaid. Years passed Tommy and I were working on, baby, after baby, after baby, recently Ryan and Melanie joined the baby club! I dreamt literally one night that Ryan was going to be a Daddy. I text Mel that I dreamt she was pregnant, couple days later at church I saw her and found out she was! Crazy when and why the LORD steps in sometimes. I made it to her baby shower a couple weeks ago and had a blast.They are having a little man! The theme of the shower was absolutely adorable, little owls, colors of yellow, brown, and orange (will also be his nursery colors).Ryan's darling wife, Melanie, she is due to have Cash April 22 :)Congrats you two!

Undies are Entertaining

Well, she no longer closes her eyes because of the flash on our camera. Instead she does it cause she thinks it is funny.Now she is just showing off. On this particular night she was very enthused to be nakey, kinda, and have her brothers undies to drag around and put on her head.This face made me laugh hysterically.

Bliss

Can you tell a passed out Miriam in my arms made me glow? Heck YEA! Who knows if this will ever happen again, just like her brothers, she does not nap in the car. It is so rare that they are tired enough to pass out in the car, but on this day she had been at Grandma's and played like a super star with no nap. Car ride home was bliss for Mimi, she finally got to pass out!

Disneyland here we come!

Tommy and I are going, and you're like "what?! without the kiddos?!" YUP! No kids, we want to be kids, and need to just savor all the grown up rides and fun things for kids over 4. To take our three little ones we would want Mimi to be about 5 years old. I really did not want to assume that years will just keep on coming, day by day I am blessed and will plan for tomorrow. Not 2016. So yup we are going, and we are searching like CRAZY for the best deals, and if you want to be part of our "deal" we would be MORE than thankful, completely overwhelmed with joy regardless. We are headed there no matter what! WOO HOOOOOOOOO!

2nd Grade

If I remember correctly Jen and I became super close friends in 2nd grade. She lived down the hill from me and we grew up together... Below is a picture of us at her baby shower for her second kiddo, another little lady to add to her, Jonny (Husband), and Callie her first daughter!Ty was my baby shower date...It was so fabulous to see Jen. I still remember a card she gave me around our wedding dates, she got married to Jonny two weeks before Tommy and I. The card referenced walking around with our kids in strollers as we continued to grow up. So true Jen!

Curly Craziness

My hair is officially curly. I'll admit it, my Aunt who has done my hair my whole life said it was changing. I denied it til now, it's curly.Miriam's newest response to the camera, her closed eyes smile.Mimi and Ty is a box, thoroughly enjoying the company of the other...Mimi was loving the Mary Had a Little Lamb rock out!
