The Mattes Family is WONDERFUL! I don't want to jinx it, but things are really great! Sure we have a day here and there where the kids are driving us crazy, or work gets to be a lot, or life is just out of funk.. but overall we are great.....
Zoey is going to be 4 in April. That thought alone is enough. She is getting out of the horrific threes and starting to be able to reason through behaviors and why it is not appropriate. She is super smart and is now working on writing. If you write something out she can copy it onto her own paper. It is pretty impressive. Her memory of events or facts is astounding. She will recall SPECIFIC details of an event that took place months and months ago. She LOVES school and all her friends. She is still quite a picky eater, but we have some basics down that hopefully keep her sustained. Her favorite activities would include playing games; candy land, computer games, phone games, playing with friends, going to grandma and pop's house. She is such a energetic little girl. She is a daddy's girl beyond all means. We love you Zoey!
Daxton is 19 months... and temper tantrums have taken over. Everything is "NO" or "No mama". He is a fiesty little boy, with a temper to boot. But then he will be the sweetest boy ever. He is a lovie boy. and wants to sit in your lap and snuggle. He is talking and talking and talking. Most of it is coherent and understandable, but if not I can translate most of what he is saying. He is VERY energetic. He will run and run and run, even after we put him to bed he will talk and play for at least 20 minutes. His bottle is still his favorite thing in the world. He is learning and learning more and more.. He loves his teachers at school, and asks about them all time. One of Dax's favorite things to is talk on the phone, especially to Papa and Abuela. Everytime he grabs my phone he will repeat one of their names until we call them on the phone. and he is quite the conversationalist. We love seeing him grow more and more.. even if its not in size! :)
Emily is still working and working and working for FLVS. Sometime I think the phone is surgically attached to my head. BUT I am able to spend wonderful time with the kids, so I hope that in the end it will balance out and they won't remember their mom as ALWAYS on the phone...I am working out a bit more.. in an effort to get my healthy on. I don't really have a weight goal... just a feel better goal. And its working! I feel a million times better! I have energy and overall feel better. I am hoping to have more free time to do some more FUN things... but right now I feel like its either work or mommy stuff. But overall I am happy and content will all things in life.
Gary is still working at Northview, this might be the longest he has been at one school since we have moved to Pensacola! And thankfully he plans on staying next year, with hopefully a bit of an upgrade. (cross your fingers). This summer he will be going to a class to help him get the upgraded job. He is playing tennis intermitenttly when he can find someone and time to play with. The kids are SERIOUSLY in love with their dad. As soon as he drives into the driveway the kids goooo NUTS! "daddy's home" it definitely is a favorite time of day for the kids and me! ;) I know daddy is enjoying playing more with kids... especially soccer, which BOTH kids love.
So that is us right... nothing BIG on the horizon, but LOVING the moments in our days!
