Back in Action

Scott, Porter and I are back in action.  We were able to get so much accomplished today in the garden.  I am so proud of my boys!

My buddy is working so hard, he deserves a break. 

Scott gave me such a great compliment.  He said, "Look at my little pioneer women." Working as a team has brought us closer together.   I love seeing what all our HARD WORK gets us in the end. 

We were so glad to have Georgia Kelly over for a play date.  She is such a great friend.

This is our orchard!  We put in the trees just last year!  Just a couple more months and we will have tons of fruit.  Cant wait.  The fruit will never make it home if I have anything to do with it!! 

Easter

It was great to have everyone gathered together for Easter.  We were so happy to have Josh and Maria over too.

The three pregnant ladies.

Having a large family there is always birthday parties. 

Happy to Birthday to Ben, Lydia and Sarah.

Game Day

On the way to the field to play soccer, Porter says, " I am a big boy playing soccer and my Daddy is the coach!"

 Uncle Ben and Aunt Whitney were watching Porters soccer game.  He was so proud to show off his soccer skills.  Very confidently, Porter gave a wave to them before he attacked the ball.

Porter was so fast  for my camera that he took the ball and almost made a goal.  Go Porter...we are so proud of you.

Proud Coach giving Porter a high five.   Once again we won!  Good thing we are not competitive.

Trade Shows can be Fun

Who says trade shows aren't fun! Scott emailed me this photo from his trade show in Lake Tahoe.

 I love watching cartoons.  Yes, still at age 34.  Pink Panther is one of my favorites. 

Scott you are such a CUTIE!

I love you.

The soccer life

 I love playing soccer with my Dad!

Thanks Sam Kelly for the cleats. 

 Any ones ball...go Porter!

Dad give me a "High Five", we won again!

Ralph's hat/shirt combo

Here is Porter showing off the hat and shirt that he received from Ralph, the garbage man!  He lives for Wednesdays.  Garbage Day of course!  He has learned to count and subtract due to Ralph.  Porter takes his garbage responsibility very seriously!  Porters garbage cans are put out on Wednesday and we don't go anywhere until Ralph comes. Immediately after Ralph coming Porter puts them away in a neat straight line.  He is very concerned when the neighbors aren't putting there garbage away for hours or days after Ralph comes.  

Porterism

Porter loves his Pizza my Heart shirt that we bought him last October in Monterey.  Scott told Porter that we will go again this year too.  Porter responded by saying, "I don't want to go to Pizza My Heart anymore, its to Fancy!"

  And after a big gulp of crystal light ( making that face a little dirtier)  Porter said, " Crystal light is good for big boys."

Ralph's here

We have one SPECIAL garbage man!  We never miss Wednesday's pick up. 

  Porter is his biggest fan. Porter's gift from Ralph....WM hat! 

Love it Buddy!

An Amazing baby shower for an Amazing Woman!

 Its an honor to be pregnant with my wonderful sister!  I love sharing this magical experience with her that our Heavenly Father has blessed us both with at this time.  My last child and her first.  And if that wasn't special enough we are both having boys!  Double trouble or bosom buddies, only time will tell.  If my Dad has anything to do with it, Porter will be the ring leader and double trouble will be close behind!  Love you Dad

What a gorgeous and proud grandmother!

Coach & son rock Tot Soccer

 A little one on one practice with the coach before the big game. 

Red Won!  Good job team.

Pick a friend & movie & dinner

 This was Lydia and Sarah's first birthday party!  They love playing with Jillian and Morgan and it was a no-brainer who they were going to invite.  So glad that they could come and help make Lydia and Sarah's birthday special.

Candy plus Movie (HOP) plus dinner (Moo Moos) plus Ice cream (Honey Treat) equals FUN FUN FUN!

Happy Birthday Lydia and Sarah

 Happy Birthday Lydia and Sarah!  It's a great feeling to be 7 yrs old. 

Party all day long!!

 Birthday girls have to start off the day with yummy doughnuts.

 Scott and I surprised the girls by going to their classroom with a bunch of balloons for them and toys/treats for all their classmates. I love those surprises.....the unexpected ones!

 Look out everyone, the birthday girls are coming through!  There is nothing like making children's birthdays memorable!  I love being a mom and coming up with ways to make them happy and feel loved!

It has been an incredible blessing in my life to be a mother; especially to twin girls. I love their different personalities which makes life exciting and full of adventure.  They compliment each other beautifully.  I look forward to all the fun-filled days ahead raising such marvelous girls in the gospel.  Lydia and Sarah... your dad and I love you so very much and are so proud of the daily decisions that you are

making and so does your Heavenly Father.
