So we did it! We said goodbye to Matthew! He is headed to Brazil to serve a mission for the LDS church. We are going to miss him here at home but we know that he is where he should be right now.
I feel bad I have never got him his money. I have been fighting with the school...I don't understand how hard it is to put a check in an envelope, write and address, stamp it and stick it in the mail. If it is still available, I would love it...hopefully before the end of next week. :)
I know Mathew will be a great missionary! I'm sure he will Love it and it will be so worth the sacrifices he is making. It always makes me saddest to see them say goodbye to the kids though because they change so much.

Jacob says:
I was showing some books to Jacob from the scholastic book order, and showed him one about farm animals because he loves animals. Once I showed him the book he said "Mom, I need to get books about other stuff, I still don't know why bunnies poop so much." 3-4-09
Right after Jacobs 6th Birthday he said "Mom, can you take all the size 5 clothes out of my closet now that I'm 6?" 10-09

Ethan wants to be the big boy, so if you every call him your little buddy or little boy he turns it around. Here is one he is famous for.

I asked Ethan "What are we going to do when baby Marv is born?
His Reply "Give him to someone else so I can have a dog"
I really thought it was going to be easy, but now I'm a little worried.

Ethan asks a lot of questions!
"What is fire made out of?"
"How do the clouds stay up?"
"What is cereal made out of?"
"What are lights made out of?
"What is water made out of?
"What are Birds made out of?

Man, that is hard to see a missionary go. Your posts made get teary. You will have to keep your blog updated on how he is doing.

Time will fly. Just think how big your kids will be when he gets home.
