June 2011

Porter loves to build forts and Coleman loves to be involved with everything.

Coleman 10 months

Coleman is 10 months old and time is flying by. He is a speed demon crawling and is Mr. Happy. We got to go to the park with Grandpa Schanz and he played catch with Porter, and then we went to Planet Play. Porter loved mini bowling, and Coleman loved smacking the moles. I walked out of the building and said "Justin, don't you think that was so much fun!" He replied with a puzzled voice saying, "Ya, for Porter." I think we all had tons of fun.

Noodle party May 2011

I know my photography skills are not up to par, but I do what I can with kids that NEVER sit still.

We love the new splash park by our house, and we had a blast at the noodle party! Some of my friends and I boiled every kind of noodle we could imagine, and put them all in a swimming pool...supposidly is it really good form of stimulation for young brains. I think Porter had more fun eating the noodles than swimming in them.

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.
