Back from AZ

What a road trip!  we are finally back from arizona.  uncle Joey's passing is what got us there, but whatever the reason, it was great to see everyone.  when we told everyone we would be driving to arizona they said we were senseless and we should fly... add to it that we would be taking jack and rita along with us and i heard the same thing from everyone, "six people in the van is crazy... two of them being your in-laws is INSANE!" well... it was a lot of fun... driving 1,500 miles with your in-laws may sound difficult... but we passed the time by horsin' around and even singing "99 bottles of beer" (the greatest drinking song of all time!!! - thanks tom, for keeping me in check)  

What's New

Welcome back to mattbeckwith.com - we redecorated... again... pretty much the same content... but we will try to post more pictures and keep the site up-to-date.....enjoy. So... what are we up to... well, it's january so that means new seasons of 24 and american idol... yes, american idol!  that is our family show... we all watch it together... cheering on the good ones and laughing at the bad ones.  we are very civil to each other... that is, until voting starts... then we can get mean and nasty. during season 1 we always had one unified vote... one family, one vote... we had to agree on one vote... last year we could never agree so now everyone gets their own vote.

Superbowl?  no thanks, we'll pass!  actually, we will be in arizona that weekend ... rootin' for the panthers!!!
