All About Matt (by Bernadette)

Matt is a Super Daddy!

 

Matt is kind and thinks of others before himself.  This is one of his sweetest qualities and makes him a wonderful husband, father and friend.

He is my best friend! He is sweet to me, supports and encourages me. Just being around him makes me want to be a better person.

 He loves watching Nolan experience new and exciting things and takes the time to teach and guide him through these experiences.

 Matt loves watching and playing sports, especially baseball!

 He is an amazingly understanding and gentle man. He is a great listener and always makes you feel important.

 Matt is fun and always seems to find a way to make me smile.

 I am so grateful to have him as my eternal companion and as the daddy to our little boy.

 Matt is an excellent example to our son as to what it is to be a rightous man of God. He is humble and loves the Lord with all his heart.

He loves his family and we love him!

All About Bernadette (by Matt)



Bernadette is a fun, thoughtful and happy mother. 

She is a teacher at heart. She has taught preschool in our home for the last 3 years and her preschool kids just adore her!

 She loves to scrapbook as a way to preserve family photos and journal.  We all enjoy looking through the family scrapbooks she creates!

She is my best friend and I couldn't ask for a better eternal companion.

She loves going to the park, YMCA, hiking, sporting events and anything outdoors.

 She is an amazing mother to our little boy!

She makes our house a home.

She has a naturally loving and nurturing spirit and brings so much joy and comfort to our family!

I thank Heavenly Father everyday for blessing us with her.  I am so grateful to be married to such a gentle, loving and caring person.  We love her more than I could ever put into words.

    



Nolan!

Nolan is 5 years old and full of energy!

He loves being a "worker man" by fixing things and  helping me around the house. I can always count on him to be the first to volunteer when I ask for help.

  He has an outgoing personality and loves to be on the go.

His favorite thing to do is play baseball with Dad.  He is a jokester and is always playing practical jokes on people and cracking himself up! He also loves camping,

 playing with cousins (he has 14 from both sides), riding his bike,

visiting Grandma and Grandpa (Mom's parents) and Papa and Grandma (Dad's parents) and thier dogs, coloring, playing outside

and playing on the ipod.

He is such a blessing to our family!

Our Begining

Matt and I meet at church in April 2003 just after Matt returned home from his mission from Perth, Australia.  I was the young single adult rep at the time and Matt's good looks motivated me to quickly call him to make sure he knew of our ward's upcomming activities.  It wasn't long before we realized that something special was developing between the two of us.  We spent the next few months talking, laughing, going for walks, attending baseball games and laying on his parent's trampoline under the stars late into the night talking about our furture together. We had the best time becomming each other's best friend while falling in love.

August 30, 2003 we were married for time and all eternity in the Seattle Washington temple. Seven years later we are still each other's best friend and love each other more than we ever thought possible!
