4th of July

For the 4th we went to my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Gary's House! Everyone went to the parade and then came back and we had a big BBQ and just enjoyed being with one another. Then around 8pm we went down to the fields to watch fireworks! They played Music while everyone was just hanging out waiting for it to get dark. Then they played music throughout the fireworks, it was pretty neat cuz i'd never really seen that done before. They tried to make the fireworks shoot off on the rhythm, and they were pretty darn close a few times!

This was Porter's first 4th of July! We were wondering how he was going to handle the fireworks. We were trying to figure out if he would sleep through them or if he was awake would he freak out cuz of the noise, because he's been pretty jumpy lately. He actually did really well and sat in awe while looking at the pretty colors flash in the sky. He wouldn't take his eyes off them.


We absolutely enjoyed being around our cousins and family! This picture is of Porter(3months) and Brystal(7months). Brystal is our cousins little girl! She is absolutely adorable!

Tummy Television

This is how Porter does two things at once! He's getting tummy
time done as well as enjoying watching T.V. He really enjoyed
watching Wipeout last night!

The Cuteness!

This is our Little Fireman! My Hero! My sister,Paige, let me borrow some of her old baby clothes and when I saw this outfit I got really excited, because patrick loves firetrucks. Which is why we have a little firetruck that Porter can ride on when he's older. ANyways, I knew I had to take this outfit and have a picture taken! He was about 2 1/2 months old in this picture.( I know it's been a while since we've blogged)
Our Good friends, The Mortons, invited us to a Bees game. We weren't so thrilled to see a baseball game but decided it would be an awesome opportunity to see our friends and hang out. We went and enjoyed ourselves very much-As you can tell so did Porter. His first baseball game and Wow was he alert and enjoying his surroundings!

Just keep Swimming Swimming Swimming

This is Porters first experience swimming! Patrick's Mom gave me Patrick's old swimsuits and this one was small enough to fit him when we went to Paiges for Memorial Day weekend! Jenae was kind enough to let us use one of Joshua's old swim diapers from last season so we could actually take him in the pool. When we first got in the water Porter was kinda shocked cuz it was a little bit cold for his liking. So he cried for a second and then we held him tight and close to our bodies to keep him warm and feel safe. He enjoyed it for a while but was skeptical of what was going on! What a cute kid!

FATHERS

HELP!! Patrick and I have been asked to speak in church on Fathers day! I seem to be having a hard time figuring out what to talk about. Which seems to be really weird because it's super easy especially when you have such a super great dad that you could talk forever about. I think that is actually why i'm struggling because i'm only supposed to speak for 7-10 min and like i said I could talk forever I have so much i could say! So if anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful!
