Mattocks Family News

Things are going great in the Mattocks household!
Travis will be home tomorrow night! Whoohoo!
So today I have been trying to catch up on my laundry I have been neglecting. :-o
Tomorrow I have to go get all of the family some ski's/snowboards, I'll be glad for the day we all have our own rather than renting but we don't go enough really to buy just yet, I'm sure as the boys get older we will probably start going more often.
Yesterday we had a big snow so should be pretty good skiing by Thursday up in the mountains, I just hope its not snowing on Thursday, not my favorite thing to do when its snowing.
They are trying to talk me into going 2 days in a row and go Friday too. EEPS!!! Not sure this ole out of shape body can handle it!!! LOL 

Today is Travis' Birthday! Happy Birthday Babe!

The boys go back to school on Monday. I'm ready for it, not sure if they are LOL Thank goodness for track school so we only have one month off at a time and not 3 months all at once. UGH!
But for the most part they have been fine. With us staying home this month rather than travel they have been able to hang out at home where they have plenty to do and with piano lessons and all the other things we've been doing they have kept pretty busy and so not much time for getting bored. It will just be an adjustment to have a bed time again, we have been staying up half or most of the night and sleeping in all that will have to come to a stop starting Sunday night. ;-)

They are both doing so well with their piano lessons and are progressing very well. I'm so proud of them, especially Dakota because this is not what he wants to be playing really, he's my drummer boy but we told him learn the piano and you can play most anything and he has just jumped in wholeheartedly with a determination that he will master this and has done very well, his piano teacher said they are both naturals and will be playing in church before we know it. 

That's about all I have for an update. I will try and take pictures when we go skiing. But if its cold then I probably won't, my hands get too cold if I take my gloves off. Haha So pray for a warm and beautiful day up on the mountain on Thursday! :-)
