Last day of Joy School






We went to Thanksgiving Point for the last day of our little play group. It was so much fun and Porter is in love with horses. After his pony ride he went up to the big clydesdals and asked them if he could ride them. It was really funny because the horse just looked at Porter and turned around and walked away, as if he knew what he was asking.

Easter at Grandma & Grandpa's House


















We had a great time at my mom's house for Easter weekend. I think Lola will go home a dream of a better life with Zoe and Tipper. Porter had a blast during the egg hunt and he got quite a few eggs to show for it. Coleman is such a happy baby and is content chilling out for the most part. He thinks the world is great and usually has a big smile on his face. Porter is my adventurer and loves to cause a little mischief. I love my boys and the individualism that they show.

Coleman at 8 months.



Porter won season 25 of american idol

Here is a sample of Porter's musical talent, he loves to sing and he has a terrific voice.

Coleman 7 months and Porter is loving life!



We have gotten to see my Mom a lot lately because she is helping out a lot with Sawyer and Baby Graham. We went over to see her a while back when it was cold and rainy to let Porter and Sawyer have some fun. With those two it usually entails wrestling and fighting, they both have a lot of feistyness, but instead they got to jump on the bed and off of the couch. It kept them occupied for a half hour and they had a blast together.



Coleman is sure growing up fast. You may notice in all of his pictures that his mouth is open, well that is because his mouth is always open! In our sixth month check up my doctor told me that he was not gaining adequate weight, so to pump him full of food. That is exactly what I have done. He nurses full time (6-7 times a day) and eats HUGE MEALS three times a day. He is a non-stop eating machine. oh how we love him. He is also starting to maneuver a litter more. I wouldn't say he can crawl, but he can definitely get from one spot to another.

The Long days of Winter!







We went to the Zoo yesterday, and it was a much needed outdoor excursion. Porter loved, loved the gorillas and my brother DJ would be glad to know that they were silverback gorillas...Uncle DJ sometimes refers to Porter as the Silverback Gorilla because he is so tough. Porter also loved the giraffes and we got to get up close and personal to them while they were getting their snack for the day. Porter was so close he could almost touch them. I think Cole had a good time too, seeing how he was smiling in his picture.
My beautiful babes! Hopefully they will always like each other this much!




We went to Discovery Gateway a week ago and Porter had a great time running around with all the kids, letting balls get sucked into the air, dressing up with Kate, and pretending to be a cowboy. I think being a kid must be pretty fun.

Coleman was sick all during his fifth month, and when we took him in for his sixth month checkup the doctor said he was way too skinny! Just look at the little man, he is practically skin and bones. I haven't taken his sixth month picture yet because I am trying to fatten him up a little first. He is such a joy to have in our family, and he is such a happy baby. Porter is always commenting, "Cole happy".





We have a small play group in my neighborhood that meets twice a week (I am skipping today because I am too lazy to go) and it has been a lot of fun over the winter. It gets us out of the house and lets all of us socialize a little. A couple of weeks ago we went to the fire station and all of the kids loved it.

Snowmobile weekend




Heather's family has a cabin in Oakley and we had such a blast going up there the middle of January to have fun in the snow. Justin had a blast riding the snowmobiles, and so did Porter! and oh what fun it is to sleep with a cabin full of kids when your toddler is the first to wake up...
