The Caleb Mathison Memorial Scholarship

Dear Family and Friends,
We are full of appreciation for all your love and support that you have given to us this past year. It has been a long and difficult road- a road that was not made to be passed through like other trials, but one that we get to live with for the rest of our lives. This trial has been very tearing on our hearts, making it difficult to heal.
Eric's dear classmates from BryanLGH started a Scholarship Memorial Fund in honor of Caleb. Our wish is to help get this scholarship endowed, to help keep Caleb forever in the memory and hearts of all who knew and loved him. Once we get his scholarship endowed we will be able to award and bless the life of 1 person each year from the BraynLGH School of Health Sciences. In helping us get this scholarship endowed, it will bring more healing to the hearts of the Mathison Family; in achieving a permanent memorial for our son, Caleb, to always be there in Nebraska- the place we have grown to love. As you help us get this scholarship endowed, it is ALL of us who will be giving and blessing the lives of many in the long run.
We do not want this to be a financial burden to anyone, especially at this Holiday Season. We just ask that if you could, please send $5, $25, $50, $100, whatever to help us in our Holiday Wish. Through the help of Eric's classmates, co-workers and many other great people, we have reached 1/3 of our goal. We could greatly use your help as we work together in accomplishing to endow this scholarship to reach 100%.

It is to be sent directly to this address:
BryanLGH Foundation
1600 South 48th Street
Lincoln, NE 68506

Make checks out to the BryanLGH Foundation,
and include a note stating that the donation is directed toward The Caleb Mathison Memorial Scholarship.

We can not begin to express what our tender hearts feel for all of you.
All we can say is "Thank You" from the bottom of our hearts, and may you feel the tender mercies of love back.
Love, The Mathison Family

Our First Washington Fall

The Mathison Kids gutted, scraped, cleaned, and carved their own pumpkins this year with very little help from Eric, (minus Montey of course, who still greatly needed assistance.) They did a great job.

We took their hard work to show Caleb, and left a pumpkin and a spider balloon for him.

Summer Fun#2

We had a little carnival fun.




We Celebrated our 10th Wedding Anniversary, and made an offer on our new house that very day, so it was very fun.


We had a little ice cream fun.

We had a little water fun.



And that sums up our First Summer in Washington. We are appreciating the opportunity we have to be closer to extended family, though we still greatly miss our home in Nebraska with our great friends there- we are hoping to make a visit in the near future.

Summer Fun

So catching up with our 1st Summer Fun here in Washington. It was great Summer weather.... no humidity. Ah, that's how I like it, just dry heat.
We did a little rock climbing.




We did a little camping.


We did a little miniature golfing.




We did a little parade watching



And look who is riding a 2 wheeler.... Eric, isn't that great! =) Okay, well Tamara, she is a bike rider now that's for sure, she is super fast too. It took Eric just 2 days to help her and off she went. Bummer the rain has started up again, cuz her and Liahona were always wanting to go on bike rides. (Look at her riding with a skirt on. She is super funny, cuz that is ALL she ever wants to wear. So different then Liahona who only ever wants to wear shorts.)
