Matthew looses his mullet

I apologize if there are any mullet fans out there..... Well, I never thought I'd say this-- my son had a mullet! I knew the back of his hair was getting long, but it wasn't until he was taking a bath that I noticed HOW long it had gotten. So right then and there, Brett held Matthew, and I cut the mullet-part off. It looks way better!

Long time no write! Matthew is now 13 months olds (which I can't believe!) Matthew is now a pro at turning the TV in our bedroom on, and he's also figured out the volume button-- he can make it go to deafening sounds in 3 seconds flat! We're getting close to walking on his own, but he's getting really good at walking with his little toy lion walker. He's getting more and more fun everyday-- with everything he's exploring and getting into (putting his hand in the toilet, eating dirt... all that fun boy stuff!)

3 years

Tomorrow, Wednesday, August 6, Brett and I have been married for 3 years-- can you believe it! The last 3 years have been full of lots of joyful times, and some sad times, but I couldn't imagine a more wonderful man to be married to through all of it. I love you Brett, and look forward to 70 more! (that will make us really, really, old.....)
Here are some pics from our wedding:

Matthew, aka Beethoven

I think these explain themselves-- he had the best time!

our vacation and andrew's wedding

After my days in Sigma Alpha, you'd think I'd be a master picture taker-- but after we got home on Thursday, I realized I hadn't taken that many-- here are a few highlights from our trip =)

doesn't Matthew look cool? =) He did great at the wedding- didn't scream at all! Aunt Kay and Aunt Cheryl just fed him cheerios under-cover

Brett and Erin on our date night in San Antonio


we tried to go see a movie afterward, but everything was sold out! Didn't know San Antoino had greek roots though....


Our hotel room


with Nana and Grandpa-- they were wonderful babysitters in SA- giving Brett and I a little break!

Matthew's 1st bday

Matthew is officially 1 now! I really can't believe where the year has gone-- but it has, and our baby is about to enter the toddling world. We had a get-together with a few friends last Friday evening-- and Matthew was definitely in fine form! He ate every crumb of his cupcake-- he'd spill a crumb in his lap and find it, because it was so good! We were cracking up at how excited he was at this new-found sweet!


Birthday time!


Examining the cake...


Chow down!




Here are the cupcakes we enjoyed-- I actually busted out my cake decorating stuff!
