Matthew's birthday!

Good morning to the birthday boy!


Matthew was not so thrilled about having the flash go off in his face when he first woke up, but it made some cute, funny pictures! And we had a great day...check out what we did all day on his birthday!



This was Matthew' birthday breakfast, his favorite: bananas and oatmeal! Yum! :)


Matthew actually opened his present all by himself! He would rip off a small piece and then hand it to Scott! It took a while, but he had fun!


Rollin' in style!
Matthew loves his new car! Here he is checkin' out all the gears!

After a nap, Matthew and I went to Disneyland to celebrate!

A Disneyland Birthday!
We are ready for Disneyland! Matthew got a Birthday pin that he wore all day! He didn't even try to take it off, but it was funny to watch him when strangers would come up to him and say "Happy birthday Matthew!" He couldn't figure out who they were and how they knew his name! We were so glad we could spend his special day at Disneyland!

Here he is with his Birthday pin!
The guy who gave it to him was a little freaky, so Matthew was watching him very closely!



We took the monorail from Downtown Disney into Disneyland and it was by far Matthew's favorite ride! We could have rode around and around in it all day and Matthew would have been perfectly content! :)

Autotopia

Matthew really liked the Autotopia ride! It was the first ride we went on and they only one I could get pictures of! He got his first "driver's license" and held on tight to it! He sat right next to me the whole ride just watching everything! It was a lot of fun!



Mickey's Playhouse

Matthew loved walking around Mickey's house! Lots of fun things to touch and the best part...nothing he can break or hurt himself on! Yeah for mom! He got to meet Mickey at the end which actually wasn't very much fun for him!




This was at Donald's boat...Matthew loves water, so he wasn't really interested in playing, he just wanted to look at the water and wish he was in it! :)

On the monorail on the way home...what a great way to celebrate Matthew's birthday!



Anxiously awaiting Grammy's arrival at the Long Beach Airport! :)

Matthew's birthday dinner!


For Matthew's birthday dinner, we went to Chili's! He was being very silly about the pictures, but it was really cute! We asked them to sing to him, but apparently, Chili's doesn't sing anymore...so that was a bummer! But he did get to have some chocolate cake and ice cream!

*He actually did like it despite what the pictures show!

What an awesome day we had...much more fun than last year! :)
We are so grateful that my mom could come and spend it with us again and we thank dad for letting us borrow her for a few days and can't wait to see him soon!

Yeah Matt's finally decided to let the Scotty gene trait out. LOOK OUT! The pictures will only get sillier! (And the antics - whoa, look out there too!)

What a fun day for Matthew (and for you, Scott, and your mom!). Disneyland is the best place to go for your birthday...go choice Jen!

Matthew has the cutest face ever! I love to see his expressions. I can't wait to see him when he's about 6 years old. Watch out for the girls!!!

Wow, what a lucky boy! I can't think of a better 1st birthday. He is such a cutie!! I love his facial expressions; he definitely has a personality already.

I love the look with the breakfast bowl. "Uh mom, THAT is not supposed to be there!"
