Holy Cow!!! here it finally is... Matt's first solo show!!!
come if you can... please.... the show will last 2 months so there is plenty of time... visit www.visualartscollective.com or www.mattbodett.com for more information. Also, we will try to have some photos of the show up soon!!! groovy!!!

Samara

matt took a few pictures of our pup and she is just so beautiful with those green eyes that i had to post more pics of her. Plus, i love the picture with her and her tennis ball. She is so obsessed over it--you can just see her tongue salvating over it!!!

Alright...so I know it has been awhile since our last posting, and of course, I always have an excuse. I hate to say it, but Matt and I do not have a digital camera! I know how sad...but we spent all we had on our iMac and now have nothing left. So, I don't really have any pics that I can post so easily. Also, I still have not fully joined the electronic world :)

Anyway, this posting is to announce Matt's first SOLO ART SHOW!!! I believe he is going to call the show "Alogia and the Flying Circus". It will be held at the VAC off of Chinden in Boise, ID, right behind the Woman of Steel. It opens June 6, 2008 at 7 pm. We will have announcements made up, so if you would like an invitation, please post your address and we will be sure to send you one. Up above is one of my most favorite peices in the show. It is called Delusions of Granduer and is a linocut. It really goes with the African mask theme Matt has going on in our family room.

I hope it won't take this long to make another posting, but I ask you please do not hold your breath till then! :)

Welcome...

new addition to the family

Yes, it is a girl and we are so PROUD!!!! I am sure you all were just waiting to hear the "good news"...and her name is Samara...not sure how much she weighs, but we already love her so much. Ryan has already claimed her as his own, but really I think that she is mine! For some reason, Ryan calls her Tamara and Safara...i guess those are easy mix ups for a four-year-old. Either way, she always comes when he calls.
