Camping

Porter driving the 4-wheeler

Barry and Porter went to the Sand dunes.  Perfect playground for Porter.

Preschool graduation

Preschool Graduation.  Great day for all!  Megan had us over for a BB-Q and fun.  The kids loved it and so did us (the teachers). As much as it was great not paying for preschool, it was great to not have to teach too :) 

The crew...Porter, Nash, Zoey, and Korbin.

The dump

Porter loves the dump.  He had a blast throwing rocks at all the glass.

New house rule!!!

EVERYONE must sit down when going potty!  LOVE IT! Who knew that toilets would be a little more cleaner...who knew.  The best part is Porter tells his friends the new rule. LOVE IT!!! This is my new favorite thing.  Did I mention that I love this new rule (funny huh)!

Soccer

Porter's new thing is playing defense.  He cracks me up. Obviously this kid in the red is thinking, "what the crap is this kid doing?" It was funny to watch.

Then he heard someone talking about body checking.  And to use your shoulder.  So this is Porter, body checking the other player. (We will have to talk about this).

Porter's buddy, Korbin.

Barry's Birthday

Porter picked out Barry's gifts from our house.  He then wrapped and decorated the gift all by himself.  He wrapped up a package of Christmas erasers.  He also gave Barry $5 of his own money. He said, "Daddy is 35, so I want to give him $5 because it ends in 5."

Ranch or Taco

We are trying to decide if he eats more ranch or taco for dinner.  I'm going for the ranch.  All this kid likes to do is dip, dip and dip!

Things Porter packs

Porter came out with these two bags,
4 days BEFORE the camping trip.

Who doesn't need to pack dirt when you go camping?

All his pictures from his room.

My brother Mark is famous (well at least to me)!

Mark on a billboard...pretty cool!

Funny...Happy Mother's day

Silly Max playing in the truck

REAL Soccer Game

Porter and his team got to play at the Real Soccer game.  They were the half time entertainment.  It was great!  Porter is in the yellow jersey in the right bottom corner. They had a lot fun.

ALL the soccer kids got to come out on the field before the game started too. After that we went to our seats, got some treats and it was right back to the field to play his game.

Well, while we were waiting for the kids to get on the field, some management asked a few of us moms to participate in the 50 yard dash.  So, us moms lovingly watched our soccer boys from a distance as we ran the 50 yard race to get a prize (I just couldn't pass up a chance to win a prize).

Today was day 2 working on the garden boxes, we (mainly Barry and Porter) took out the grass and fit them into their places.  Porter worked his little tail off! Max just loved all the dirt.

Max was in love with his new "sand box."  

MAX

Max has been walking around with this straw.  He blows in it and it makes a whistle sound.  He also loves bringing me shoes (or shoe) to put on his feet.

He loves putting on hats.  Our little cowboy!

Preschool field trip to Kangaroo Zoo

Porter, Nash, Korbin, and Zoey

Max wanted NOTHING to do with the blow up slides.  He sat on these couches and would not move.  

Porter's thoughts

Porter said to me, " Mom, you are a lazy mom."
"Really?"
"Ya mom, do you want to know why you are lazy?"
"Yes."
"Because you don't ever buy me fruit roll-ups or fruit snacks. Do you want to be a cool mom?"
"Nope."

Now it is time to tell him what lazy means.
