Working and Playing outside

Matthew is truly turning into a little boy and not our little baby. I say that because he has figured a way to rig his wagon up to the car so he can pull things around, just like boys do.

After they were done fighting about who got to ride in the car, Matthew decided he would push Abby.
Matthew being a big helper and raking leaves. What you can't tell from this picture is that I (mom) had already raked them into a pile and he is actually spreading that pile all over again. Oh well, what can you do.
The kids and I (mom) took down a big, dead tree stump yesterday and Matthew pulled the wagon with part of the stump out to the curb and rolled it off all by himself. What a strong boy!
Abby had to get in on the stump action too!

Trip to Williston

This past weekend we took our first trip in the new van. We went to Williston to pick up Grandpa Joe and Grandma Wanda from the train. They were on their way home froma trip to Portland. Matthew was very excited to see them get off the train.Abby fixing her hair! Its already starting!

Finally a nice day!

Finally it was nice enough for Matthew and Todd to try out Mathews new bike. It only has a back wheel and the front attaches to Todd's bike, but Matthew wan still pedal and everything. Abby in her new coat from Auntie Laura
We recently spent alot of time at the hospital, so one day grandma Wanda brought the kids some strawberry's to snack on while we waited.
