Work, Work, Work

Matt has been working hard the last few weeks. On the nice sunny days he has been working 8-12 hours days and loving it!! On the raining days he finds other things to do. He fixed my car and got my radio installed. He has been working on fixing up our red grand am. He has been helping cleaning the house and getting ready for Nate's graduation. Matt and Casey and Nate helped box the food the post office collected for the food pantry at the post office last week.

Matt and Casey has been working very hard on their house plan. They have their house plan done and distributed to various contractor's. They are now waiting to get the cost back so they can go to the bank and get a loan and start digging on their house!

Matt has been feeling good. He has his tumor marker test next week.

Thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayer.

Matt decided he wanted to go out to eat with his family and his Hepp family and the Liederbach family! We went to Machine Shed for a really good meal . Matt and a few other people were giving Matt's Dad, Brian a hard time for ordering liver for an appetizer! He said they were good and ate them all! After dinner the waitress's and waiter's came out and sang Happy Birthday to Matt! We really enjoyed out meal!

Then we went to Steve and Kathy Liederbach's house and had a friendly family pool tournament! We started out as teams. Matt drew up some brackets and then we played 9 ball tournament! It came down to Matt and his Dad for the Championship game. Matt had to beat his Dad twice to take the championship. Matt beat him the first game but lost to a lucky shot his Dad had to win! Fun was had by all!

We thank our Glorious God for letting Matt make his 21st Birthday. We pray we can celebrate many more!! Matt is feeling good! He wishes the weather would be better so he can work and earn money for the house he and Casey are building!!!

Thank you to all for Birthday wishes he received! Thank you for all your continued prayers!

The Gang at the bowling Alley!

It was one of those last minute idea to have a family night out. Matt's Aunt Lori came out for a visit when she said she brought along her Gift certificate from Matt's benefit for bowling party for 10 including the shoes.

Chris, Chad, Gavin, Colton, Olivia, Aunt Lori, Cousin Becky, Matt, Casey and myself (Mom) went bowling! It was a fun night out. Matt was high scorer for one of the games and Chad was high score for the other game! We all had lots of FUN!

Today Matt and Brett put dirt around Joan's house. She is a very good friend of the family. Joan said Matt and Brett did a great job!!

Matt is feeling well and trying to get some work done.

Thank you to all the family and friends for their continued thoughts and prayers! It is very heart warming and and truly comforting for Matt and family.

Matt is a "Star"

This past Monday Matt was filmed for a UW-Health Partner Watertown Regional Medical Center commerical for the hospital employee's and for the Watertown Hospital website.
Matt enjoyed the filming because he got to be in his car! He washed his car and cleaned his
tires and was ready to go! His first shot Matt was in his car pulling out of the garage. He enjoyed squealing his tires as he drove out of the garage! The next shot he is out on the driveway and all of a sudden . . . it started to rain!! Matt had to do the next shots in the rain! As soon as the film is ready I will put the clip on the blog.

Matt was also smiling because he got to pick up his truck last night! He says his truck is running great!!! Matt is feeling well. He is starting back at work next week full time again. He loves to
stay busy!

Thank you for all your continued prayers.

Happy Easter!!

Matt enjoyed the weekend spending it with Casey and her family and his whole family.

On Easter Matt went to church with Casey and her family. Then Matt and Casey had lunch with Matt's Mom side of the family. It was a sit down dinner with 33 people. Matt did a toast at dinner. He announced to the family that their house plans are almost done and they plan to
have their house built so he can have all of us to their house for Christmas! Of course there might not be furniture or appliances yet until the wedding but it will be bring your own chair and food! LOL!!! Matt also asked Nic, his cousin to be an usher at their wedding!

Matt has been feeling pretty good. He has had a chocolate craving lately! He is eating chocolate Easter bunnies! Maybe that will help him put some weight on.

Matt has been working on his truck. He took it to a specialist in West Bend to give it a good check over and to see if they can find any problems with it. He plans on picking it up tomorrow.

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers!

Camero is FREE!

Matt's truck, and camero and the red grand am he is driving.

Matt's camero.

This morning Matt and I got up and took a load of garbage to the dump. Then we went to

Grandma's house to get his Camero out of storage! Matt was grinning from ear to ear when he put his battery back in and his camero started right up!! Matt was on cloud nine!

Matt took his car into town for a ride for everyone to see. Of coarse he had to take a few pictures of his cars this morning. The red car his the rims on he gave Nate to use.

Looking good Matthew!!!

Matt is feeling well. He is not at 100% yet but getting there. He weighed himself yesterday. Matt's weight is 137 and going up!

Thank you to everyone from Church who bought from the daffodil's sale where the proceeds went to Matt and to Anderson Butzine who also has cancer for their medical expenses. Anderson is only 5 years old. Our prayers are with Anderson and his family.

Thank you for all your continued Prayers.
