More pictures to enjoy of Matthew, as well as a few of the aftermath of the wind storm we had yesterday.
We had 80-100mph winds from Wednesday night to Thursday evening and were without power for 12hours~all day long (as well as the power going out multiple times during the night). In fact, every time Matthew woke up (about every 2hours according to my phone), my clock had reset to midnight, or shortly thereafter.
My alarm clock is now completely broken from so many power outages, so that when I plugged it back in after the power came back, it just flashed strange "numbers" at me and wouldn't stop playing white noise from the radio no matter what I did. Anyways, Matthew didn't sleep well because of the noise and trees blowing, but we survived, even though our house got down to 58degrees at about 1pm, then stayed there until the power came back on at 6:30pm. Luckily, we still had hot water, so we could have hot baths to keep us warm in the afternoon.
Nothing got significantly damaged to our house or car luckily, although many people in our ward had trees fall on their houses and cars, totaling some of them. We did have 1/2 a tree fall down on top of our carport, our neighbors fence blew over, and our other neighbors fullsize trampoline blew over their 4 foot fence into our yard! As well as traffic lights being blown off of the poles, and multiple signs "disappearing". Anyways, I took some pictures today as I was going to pick up Ryan from work to go take his second certification test (He passed with a 92%!! w00t!), the go to Provo.

| He kept trying to eat the blue bird, but couldn't get it because he had grabbed the rings with his other hand. |
 |
| Tummy time, and playing in a 58degree house. |
 |
| He was fine the whole time, until it started to get dark and he was still in the tub. Then he was confused why it was dim (only a flashlight on) like he was going to bed, but taking a bath instead. |
 |
| Our downstairs neighbors dragged the trampoline in front of our overturned trashcans to keep them from blowing away. That tree broke in half during the night to land on the carport. The other tree in the back had a 6-8inch 'branch' break off. Our other trees just had good-sized branches broken off. |
 |
| Our neighbors trash cans. We also got trash cans from other neighbors down the street, and we still have one that is unclaimed.. |
 |
| A downed street light and huge pine tree across the street. The pine tree was 2 feet in diameter. |
 |
| Guess what bank this is... We had multiple signs like this, all the traffic lights weren't working, and everything on this side of the street was without power longer than we were. |
 |
| Cute sleepimg Matthew. He normally is like this, or with his face more burried in the frog. He likes to selfsoothe by sucking his fists, or rubbing/holding his hands together like this. I think it's really cute. |
