Ward Campout May 2011

Our ward campout was in the beginning of May. We had a great time and we were one of the ten families who actually slept over. We are just hard core like that...The kids slept well but I woke up every 30 minutes to make sure they were all covered up and warm. Coleman loved his first experience with smores!

I don't know how I couldn't post about Porter's love of peanut butter. On many of occassions I have woken up and had peanut butter everywhere in my house because Porter was hungry and needed to satisfy his peanut butter fix!

Coleman 9 months

Well my boys are growing up! Coleman's 9 months pictures turned out awful due to the fact that he is all over the place now and no longer likes to sit still. He is crawler and wants to explore. This year has not been my favorite weather year. During the beginning of March it was so warm and I thought to myself this year is going to be great! Boy was I wrong. All of the blizzards throughout April and May have proven to me that Utah weather is very unpredictable. Well maybe there is one upside of having lousy weather.... It makes you appreciate the days when you do have great weather. In the picture above Porter and Coleman went out to enjoy the sun for the first good day in months. Porter just sat inside the water table and wanted me to pour hot water over him. He kept on telling me that he wanted it like the bath..."hotter mommy, hotter"

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.
