Dogsled Rides

On Sunday the Fargo Park district had a dog sled team from Sabin come and give FREE dogsled rides to kids. Matthew had a great time. After the ride they also had FREE pizza and pop and were showing a movie about dog sleds. Matthew holding on tight.

Fun with Grandma Yanda and Grandpa Joe

Matthew got to go with Grandma Yanda and Grandpa Joe this Sunday. We came to pick him up later that night and he was learning how to seal meats and peanuts in grandmas sealer.He also sealed up some left over Scheels tokens for later use. But we will probably never be able to get him to open the sealed bag up!
While Grandma Wanda was in Sams club Granpa Joe and Matthew went to the Sportmans Warehouse. Matthew got to get this bird decoy. Oh the junk they come home with from Grandma and Grandpa's house. (I know mom....I did the same thing too!)

Matthew - The creative one!

Matthew loves to do any sort of "project." Here he is working on a birthday card for Auntie Laura!

Monster Trucks!

A few weeks ago Todd and Matthew got to go to the Monster Trucks at the Fargo Dome. This was a big hit with Matthew and I am pretty sure he plans to go again next year. You can tell how Matthew is just studying the Trucks.

Sledding!

After church today we went home and got our winter gear on and headed out to the sledding hill. We didn't stay long because mommy and Abby got kind of cold, but we had fun still!Mommy had some little boy at the hill take this picture since there was no adults around. He did a pretty good job.
Daddy and Abby!

Daddy Is So Fun!

Last week Daddy was home a lot during the day again because of the cold weather, so he decided to set one of our tents up downstairs for Matthew and Abby to play in. Matthew was especially excited about it.
