Mattocks Family News

Been awhile huh..... :-o

Alot has been going on I guess.
First and foremost being the most exciting news! Dakota got the HolyGhost on Sunday the 22nd and then he got baptized the following Sunday the 29th!
He got the HolyGhost in Sunday school and we were so happy.
The following Sunday morning we had an awesome service where the power of God just came right in and filled the place from corner to corner, I bet you could have even felt him in the bathroom. ;-) But anyways Coda just got the HolyGhost all over again and was speaking in tongues for a long time. And so Sunday night he wanted to be Baptized in Jesus Name!

Below you will find some videos and some pictures of some things we've been doing.

We took the boys ice skating on Saturday, they had a blast!

Today Coda decided he wanted to cook and so I told him what to do and he cooked him and Dallas dinner. He was so proud of himself. Dallas says he is cooking dinner on Thursday. ;-)

We are all wishing for snow, but doesn't look like our wish is going to come true any time soon. Dad and Travis say just be thankful for sun, and I am but hey we live in Nevada! It's supposed to snow at least a little.

The boys last day of school is Friday and then they have a month off. They are excited for that. We are not really sure what we are going to do with our month. We were going to go to Louisiana but then Dad and Mom couldn't go and we decided we better save our airline miles for our Christmas trip Dad and Mom bought us. I can't wait for that, we've been looking at cruises, not sure if we will go back to the Carribean or maybe try out the Bahama's this time. We shall see, but anyways we will have to fly and so will need Trav's air miles so we don't have to pay for that.
So then our next idea was DisneyLand. But got to figuring up the cost of that and decided no too much money. So now we are thinking skiing which the boys are loving that idea but then they've loved every idea. So perhaps Trav will be able to take a couple of days off and we can go skiing. Coda is chomping at the bit to get on a snowboard, skiing is too "easy peasy" for him as he would say. haha not really, he just thinks snowboarding is much cooler. I am wondering if it has anything to do with TJ. He snowboards and Coda thinks the world of him. I'm sure Coda will do fine at it. Dallas said he is sticking with ski's.

Haven't decided if we will spend any time in Washington. On one hand I'd like to but then on the other hand I just never enjoy that drive up there. Knowing me I may wake up one morning and say "I miss Travis, lets suprise him boys" and we jump in the car and go. Thats the nice thing about being free as a breeze or retired as Trav says I am. Haha But I love it!

Zaylee is crawling now. She got to stay at my house for almost a week after I got back from Washington this last time and Coda finally got her to crawling. We had all been trying and trying and then one night he was banging some paddle on the floor and all of a sudden she just started scootin towards him. Me and Ana were all "Oh, Oh, shes crawling!" Ana gets the camera and do you think Zaylee is going to show us her new thing? Nope she just sat there and looked at us like "yea whatever mom" haha but then Anabel did end up sneaking a video of her crawling later. Now she thinks she's so big and pulling herself up on everything and crawling and just growing up so fast. Before we know it she will be walking and chasing Coda all around. He just adores her to pieces! But then we all do I guess. She is going to be the most spoiled child on the earth no doubt with so many of us to spoil her.

So here is a little update on the lives of the Mattocks.

When you watch the video's you can view them better if you put them full screen. You can barely see the little button for making full screen, so in case you miss it I thought I would point you to it. It is in that bottom right hand corner, you can just make out the edge of it. They were taken with my phone so thats why they are not like a regular video.
