"We goin' to Big Spwings!!!"

We did indeed go to Big Spring this weekend. Matthew got to see his great aunt Kaki, his cousin Misty and her kid's Brooke and Blake. (Ok, technically, they are my [Ben] cousins, but I don't know the rules about second and third cousins twice removed or whatever...so everyone's a cousin.) Matthew loved playing with Blake. And by playing with, I mean running around behind shouting, "Bwake, Bwake!" He later became known as "The Blake."

While we were there, we climbed a mountain (read that--small hill) and saw the native flora and fauna (cacti and mosquitos) He did a good job running most of the way and he will be the first to tell you that he is "so fast." But even the best runners sometimes stumble...twice. We had two major incidents...well, major to Matthew. One of them even required a band-aid. But, Mommy kissed the boo-boo's and made them all better!

Over all it was a good trip. Matthew is looking forward to having Brooke and Blake come play this summer. However, we regret to inform you that Matthew has been diagnosed with R.E.D.S. We are still looking for a cure, but there may be no hope.....

R.E.D.S--Rear End Deficiency Syndrom
