Lights of the Ozarks

Matthew loved the lights of the ozarks on the Fayetteville Square this year! He especially liked the pony ride and running around the square with his parents chasing after him! What a magical night of all of us :)

Stay Family Pictures

Our good friend took our family pictures about a month ago at the Shiloh Museum in Springdale! Matthew had a great time running around and playing with everything there and our photographer friend did an awesome job of chasing after him to get some great shots that really capture his personality! We love you, Matthew and all of your energy!!!

Matthew Loves Animals

Matthew was invited to a friend's birthday party at Gentry Zoo in September and he absolutely fell in love with ALL of the animals there! I think he got closer than his mommy or daddy did to most animals! Matthew, we love your heart for all of God's creatures!

Hayrides to Halloween

Matthew has discovered how much he LOVES sugar of any kind! Halloween has been a special treat for him!

Matthew's 2nd Birthday Party

Matthew turned two on September 21st! He absolutely loves anything that involves a ball or an animal! He has taken an interest in coloring and still loves to read books, especially Baby Einstein or anything by Sandra Boynton! His true passion is still music! His teachers at Fellowship tell us that he loves to "help" the music teacher conduct class and loves to play any kind of instrument! He also loves to dance around! We love you, Matthew!

While Mommy's Exercising...

On Monday and Wednesday mornings, while I'm participating in Body and Soul at church, Matthew gets the opportunity to be involved in a bunch of fun activities at church that he just loves! Of course, music time is his favorite :) He colored this picture of creation day with purple and green! I just love the giraffe he made :) Our little boy is growing up too fast!

It's raining, it's pouring all the Stay's are playing...

Today, David took the day off from work and we decided to head to Matthew's favorite place...the park! The rain did not slow us down one bit...we had a great time :) We went home soaked and covered in mud!
