Happy Birthdays!!

Happy Birthday to Matthew and Vince! I have been so busy that they are both belated, but I still wanted to tell everyone how happy I am to have both of these boys in my life. Not to mention its fun to have a reason for a party! Vince turned 30 on the 13th and Matthew turned 7 on the 18th. They both had lots of fun. Vince decided to buy a real leather motorcycle jacket with his birthday money--instead of the bomber jacket I convinced him to get a couple months ago because it was cheaper. Matthew is still undecided about what he will be doing with his birthday money, but I am sure it has something to do with the toy isle and some gumballs with his change!

Here is Matthew's Spongebob cake. I copped out and did it the easy way by purchasing the plastic toys to put on top instead of doing the headshot that I was going to do. Plus, I tried to make it look like Spongebob and Patrick were splashing out of the water, but instead it just ended up looking like they were sitting on a blue octopus! Oh well, Matthew, his friends, the neighbors and Daniel all thought it was cool so I guess that is all that matters!

Matthew goes fishing

On Labor Day, my family got together in Orem for a picnic at the park, then swimming at my aunt's pool. Unfortunately, Matthew came down with a stomach flu a few days prior which meant that he couldn't go. So, Vince decided that he and Matthew should go fishing at the local trout farm. We figured it was outside and if he needed to, he could run to the trees! Luckily he had lots of fun and didn't need the trees! He caught four fish.

Soccer boys

Here are Matthew and Daniel with their soccer uniforms--of course Matthew's socks and shoes were ripped off the instant we hit the door, but you get the idea.

Ode to Oatmeal

By Vince Hilton

Mush mush its good for your tush

The more you eat, the less you push

The less you push, the better you feel

So eat some mush for every meal!

Vince had just finished his instant oatmeal at work and thought I should see what a great poet he was and of course, being the proud wife, I thought I better share it with everyone!

What kind of guitar???

Vince started taking guitar lessons a few weeks ago and therefore has been taking out his (actually Dave's, but we are keeping it for him until he gets back from his mission) guitar more to practice. One day, Daniel decided to have a "lesson" so Vince was telling him different things about the guitar, and at the end here is how the conversation went:

Vince: "Dano, do you know what kind of guitar this is?"

Dano: "No"

Vince: " It's an acoustic guitar"

Dano: "Wow.....Mommy! Daddy has a 'nacooshnic' guitar!"

Ironically, we are actually going in on Thurs. to check his left ear tube and I think I will check his hearing while we are there! hee hee

Comments...

I have been hearing people say that they try to post a comment, but it won't let them. So I figured out what was wrong, changed my settings and anyone should be able to comment if they would like to! All you need to do is click on the blue comment link and it will take you to a place that you can write whatever you want.

Thanks for reading!

First Day of Kindergarten

Daniel had a wonderful time. He let me drive him to school, only after much reassurance that he would get to ride the bus home! We got him to the classroom, and he was a little shy at first, but after his teacher started talking to him he was just fine. Here he is with some of his new school clothes and his new backpack! It's not the greatest quality, but its what we have.
