Very Serious

 Despite the very serious looks on their faces, Matty and Max had a great time playing together in Colorado.

Ice Cream!

 A trip isn't complete without ice cream.  So, since I was going to get a cone, I of course had to get one for Matty!  He definitely enjoyed his cool treat. 

 What?  Is there something on my face?

Beautiful Views

We took in the view at   11,990ft (I'm not lying--check out the sign!)---boy could you feel the air getting thinner!

Where Have You Been?

The blog took a brief hiatus while we ventured out West for a long weekend.  We spent some time in Colorado visiting friends and taking in the scenery.

Matty enjoyed flying...he passed some of the time by reading some classics:

See those Rocky Mountains?

Arggh!

A group of pirates walked by and caught Matty's attention.  Seriously, there were about 30 people dressed in pirate gear.

I wonder if they had any food with them??

Snack Time

Matty loves to snack.  At least he doesn't mind sharing his raisins with Daddy.

Lounging in the Gazebo

Snoozing

Catch Me If You Can

"Hey Matty--can we take some cute pictures for the blog?  How about sitting still in the gazebo for a photoshoot?"

The first few attempts to get the pictures did not go according to plan.  Matty had other ideas...

Orange you glad I didn't say banana?

We took a ton of great pictures over Labor Day weekend and are going to have a whole ton of great posts coming up, starting with this one! 

Before a cute pic, an observation:  Matty likes to eat. And when I say he likes to eat, I really mean he LOVES to eat.  He pretty much eats all day long and cheers whenever it's time for a meal or snack -- "hooray!".  For lunch, since he was so good running errands this morning, we stopped for McDonald's on the way home.  He ate all 4 of his chicken nuggets, all of his french fries, and a fruit leather strip for dessert.  I started cleaning out the pantry after we finished eating and put an old box of stale Wheat Thins on the floor.  Matty walked over, reached in, took a bite, and declared, "MMM!".  So, he had a bunch of Wheat Thins to top off his lunch.  Now, he's having a glass of milk. Mr. Bottomless Pit. :-)


Matty has a fantastic new shirt--it's a pictoral representation of the Banana-Banana-Banana-Orange knock-knock joke "Orange you glad I didn't say Banana?"

Flash Back Wednesday!

Compare Matty from this year and exactly 1 year ago--craziness!
