Grad Partay!!

Mat's Grad party was a hit! We celebrated on May 24th out in Scappoose at Mat's Grandparents house. We played a little wiffle ball, ate hamburgers and cake and had a good time! Mat's parents bought him (I think his fav present) a new hardhat to wear to work. It's made of the material they make bullet proof vests out of. It was so nice to see everyone in such a relaxing environment and have a good time! We are all so proud of Mat. In these pictures are my family, Mat's grandparents, Mat's mom, Aunties and uncles in the kitchen, And grandma too! Everything was decorated in a construction theme. We had hardhats and caution tape everywhere and I made signs that read "Caution New Grad!"

I'm so proud of Mat and his great accomplishments this year!

Graduated from NWCC!!

Whoot Whoot!! Mat's is the first graduate! Last night Mat had his graduation dinner at the Embassy Suites in Portland. The dinner recognized all the students at the Northwest College of Construction who were eligible to graduate this year. Mat still has four more classes to complete, but he is a Journeyman Carpenter by my standards! I'm so proud of him for sticking with this for 4 years and working so hard to support our family. He is still working for Yorke and Curtis and (as long as they have work,) will continue to do so!

Softball season is Underway!

Boys and girls... it's time to get your rally hats on! Mat's softball season started this week!

He is playing for two teams and is a pickup for a few others. So far he is playing on his Company team with is co-workers and Dad. (Christian sometimes too). He is also playing for a more competitive team called " Anchor Salty Nuts." Mat hit some laser beams yesterday in his game. I was super proud of him, he's become quite the baller! (Softballer that is...) Yesterday they won both games and in the second game ended up 10-running the other team. I can't wait to watch a game from the more competitive team!
