I can't believe it's been 4 months since I last posted anything!!!
SLAAA-CKKKER! So I'm going to try to play catch-up (Again).
First I want to acknowledge that Mathis turned 10 back in December, WOW..."I have a 10 year old" sounds, well...old! So here is a year of Mathis.
Mathis keeps us busy with his soccer team. He plays for La Roca, and between practices, indoor and outdoor games, futsal and tournaments...we are all over the place. It is all worth it though, because he LOVES soccer and he is such good friends with his team-mates. One of his highlights from this past year was taking first place in the Rampage tournament. Mathis' team and the Rampage team are big rivals, so it was a good tournament to win.
For Halloween, Mathis wanted to make his hair into a Mohawk. He didn't care what he was, as long as he could have a Mohawk and color it Pink and Purple. So after a lot of hair glue and some colored hairspray, he had a 7 inch mohawk.
Mathis also LOVES his baby cousins, Kate and Avery. He's always asking when he can see the girls and play with them, I love that he thinks it's so much fun to play with the girls. Here he is with Avery, dressed as a Bumble Bee for Halloween.
If you were to ask Mathis what his favorite trip is every year...he would say Lake Powell. Swimming all day and sleeping with cousins on top of the houseboat every night?
What's not to love?
And of coarse we've done plenty of Rock Climbing this past year, Mathis is really getting quite good and his Dad can't wait until he's big enough to start belaying him!
Just like Hayden, Mathis also got to fly a plane all by himself. He thought it was awesome until they did Zero G's a few times, he got sick and didn't think it was so awesome after that.
Mathis also loves his dog, Shadow, they snuggle with each other at night and there have been several times I've found shadow sleeping right on top of Mathis' head, but Mathis is a deep sleeper and he loves it!
So happy Belated Birthday Mathis, you are my not so little buddy anymore and I am so proud of the big kid you've become. You are such a good friend and big brother to Hayden, I love you!!
