About a Man-Boy: Whirlwind
http://aboutamanboy1.blogspot.com/2013/08/whirlwind.html
Sunday, August 18, 2013. A few days before we left Texas, Phil found this toad. It looks different from our toads, rather fancy with it's little frill going around it's sides. That same weekend we test drove a truck that Phil wanted to get. Not just a truck, his DREAM truck. I have to admit I fell for it like a 15 year old girl with a big crush. I kindof wanted to drive it home. But that would have been stealing, so I didn't. Remember the creek Matthew I safaried in. Although since he fills his boots wit...

About a Man-Boy: June 2013
http://aboutamanboy1.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 15, 2013. June 7th was the day. He has a 6th tooth loose on the other side of his new front teeth. Introducing Guppy and Frog. We traveled from KS with a very plain guppy, that was a classroom give away. She made it through our trip but when we cleaned her tank next, that guppy died. So off to get a new one, a blonde delta male this time and a frog. Matthew is pretty proud of them. I hope they live awhile. Another Cali trip in the bag. And Uncle Mickey spun them. Random shot at the reunion.

About a Man-Boy: January aka The Adventure Month
http://aboutamanboy1.blogspot.com/2013/02/january-aka-adventure-month.html
Tuesday, February 5, 2013. January aka The Adventure Month. At the end of Christmas break Matthew came up to me with this drawing he'd done for his teacher. It's labeled just like the pictures they journal at school. We decorated his bedroom walls with some cool penguins and polar bear that my second grade teacher gave us. He discovered the windmill and climbed it.on a very windy day. Across the creek we found a deep ravine coming off the field. It had flamingo colored feathers in it to collect. And then...

About a Man-Boy: July 2013
http://aboutamanboy1.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 31, 2013. Matthew has news to share. As of tomorrow I'll be 22 weeks pregnant. Matthew was very excited to learn it's a boy, even though he doesn't in the photo. I'd had to tell him to calm down so I could take the photo my way, not the jumping around way. A brother is just what he wished for. And here he is, taking a sip on film, or maybe he really is just smiling. Friday, July 26, 2013. A few days after I got back, Phil's Aunt Tara came to visit and we had an awesome time! With Matthew'...

Wednesday, February 27, 2013. So Matthew was pretty pumped that his Mamaw bought him this US Marshall set complete with holsters, 2 guns, badge, canteen, and spurs, but what happened at supper was WAY better. And he actually has it to put under his pillow. Tuesday, February 26, 2013. Back to Back Snow Storms! Last Thursday, the 21st, we woke up to 8 inches of snow and it kept coming. It was a snow day, no school! Thank you Storm Q! We played outside and in alot. The dogs got nearly drifted in. As we went...

About a Man-Boy: April 2013
http://aboutamanboy1.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 21, 2013. Soccer started on the 7th with practice. It was a decent day. The 11th was the first game and it was in the 40's with a very cold, strong wind. I froze. Matthew didn't because of his gloves, hat and layers. He was the only child with a hat and gloves. Some kids came in shorts and t-shirt. Crazy. Today is our next game. The last one was cancelled, I'm assuming because it was in the 30's with wind chills in the 20's. Luckily the wind is strong, but it's not as cold. That was the las...

About a Man-Boy: March 2013
http://aboutamanboy1.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 28, 2013. Monday was our first day back from Spring Break, so Matthew got a new library book at school. It happened to be an adorable book by Viviane Schwarz called Timothy and the Strong Pajamas. If you have kids, or just like to read children's books, I highly suggest reading it. Anyway, this is the email my Mom sent me about Matthew and the book. He cracks me up! God still doesn't like it." Well, I guess a 5 year old put me in my place! Can't argue with God.

About a Man-Boy: December 2012
http://aboutamanboy1.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 1, 2012. Phil went "home" November 5th. He reported back to his old unit on the 6th and learned that he will be their Battalion Financial Officer. (I think I have the title right.) So now he deals with soldiers that need a little financial help. We also finally got to go see my Auntie! The Sunday before Thanksgiving was my Grandmom's nursing home's Thanksgiving feast. We trucked on over to have some delicious food. Mom looks so much like her mom in this photo. The Tuesday before Thanks...
