more paintings

So jill, jordan's litte sister, recently painted her room to a pretty pink.  her theme is the nursery rhyme "with rings on her fingers and bells on her toes, she shall have music wherever she goes."  so this is jill's silhouette blowing music note bubbles...

i did not paint the little birdie, but i did do the music notes and stuff...

this is charlee painting some play blocks... she likes to paint just like her mommy:)
this is a wooden letter i painted for shannon's room
i painted this octopus in the kids bathroom a long time ago, but i couldnt remember if i ever put a picture up of it...
this is jordan's red front door... he painted it all by himself!!!
my friend melissa is having a baby and this is one of the paintings i have done so far.  i have three other ones that i am working on:)
its made up of 20 5x5 canvases... i think it turned out pretty cute:)

Matthews Updates

So here is what the matthews family has been up to lately... 
this pic is a bit out of place, but we went to the iowa state fair, and charlee visited some baby piggies and earned her pig ears!!!  the piggies were her favorite part:)
this is how to make an upset child not so upset anymore:)
We were able to go to nauvoo for a weekend and these are a couple shots at the nauvoo temple and in front of Joseph, Emma, and Hyrum Smith's graves.
Here is charlee feeding some animals at the petting zoo at the iowa state fair... she loved it!!!

Jett loved it too:)  

here we are in front of the life size butter cow... yes, that whole cow is made out of butter:)
this is a sand sculpture... in case you cant tell, they are pigs designed to look like the star wars characters:)
it is called "star boars"
some face painting... a star for jett
and a dolphin for charlee
here are the baby piggies
oops... doubled up on this one:)
Jett got to enjoy his first chocolate chip cookie:)  he was pretty stoked!!!
So, since the family reunion we have been loving living with papi chulo:)  dortch and him actually get along really really well:)  this is one thing that they both like to do... switch beds.  dortch likes papi's little bed and papi likes dortches slightly bigger bed.
