Snow what fun! ( isnt that nice and corny! )

well we decided to take porter sledding, it was his first time. We were not sure how he would feel about it, and at first he was hesitant as well. This is Cory and him at the top of the hill before the first run.
by the time they got to the bottom porter was smiling from ear to ear and saying "lets do it again!"


Cory heading up with both boys.. thought it was funny how he has Theo tucked under his arm.

Porter and i were going so fast i was actually scared! i am such a wimp! lol me with both of the boys. Theo was not that amused.

Porter decided it would be fun to roll a snow ball down the hill. The snow was so wet it packed on quickly all the way down to the grass!
Cory had to help him at the end because it was so heavy. This is porter sitting on it!

cute little Theo just hung out most of the time! He was not a big fan of the cold and we had to cut our sledding short because he started to wail and wouldn't stop! i think he was mad he just had to sit there and couldn't walk around.

Mom, i am cold and bored! Can we go home yet?

Theo my walker!

Theo is so big, he is walking all over now! he loves to Carry a ball in each hand when he walks. He is still a little wobbly and drunk looking and falls down allot. but he gets right back up and keeps at it! He can turn around now and also will squat to pick things up off the floor.

His two teeth. He still hasn't gotten anymore. But that's okay, we like his little smile!

snow shoveling

Porter really wanted to use the shovel.. he was so funny and was just shoveling the grass! The snow was so wet and heavy he could barely even push the shovel. He had a good time though, and wore himself completely out!

porter brought the camera to me and told me to take a picture of him and this. He took all the Christmas figurines and lined them up in the window and was quite proud of it! Later that day Theo went over there and threw half of them on the ground. I put them back but porter was so distraught that they were all in the wrong places now.. he spent a good 30 minutes fixing them to his liking again.

Frosty the Snowman

porter helping to pat the snowman down.
Frosty the snowman.. minus the hat which we didn't have. I don't even know where to buy a top hat!
couldn't get a good shot of porter with the snowman.. snow kept falling on my lens too!

When we had our first big snow storm porter was so excited to get out there and play! We helped him build his first snowman which he calls frosty the snowman. He seems to think that all snowman have to be called frosty. Its really cute.

view from a three year old

Porter talks a lot now a days and he says some of the funniest things. Thought I would write them down because I know that at least my mom will get a kick out of them!

Us eating spaghetti at the table ( i had bought the cheapo napkins from all a dollar):
Porter "mommy I am all messy! I have sauce all over me!"
Mom "use your napkin"
Porter "that napkin is too scratchy, it hurts me! I need a bath mommy, there is sauce all over me. Its on my pants and my chair and my face."

Playing with Toys:
Mom " Porter why don't you use this block?"
Porter "Actually I think I will use this one, that one is the wrong color. I need a green block."
Mom "do you want me to help you?
Porter " Hmmmm i don't think so. I can do it by myself."


I still cant believe he knows the word actually. Cracks Cory and I up!

At walmart while trying out the 16 inch bikes
Mom "can you reach the pedals?
Porter " mom I am bigger now! I can ride the big bike. i need this one. Lets buy it."
Mom "Maybe you can have it for Christmas if you be a good boy and ask for it."
Porter " I'm bigger than Theo, he cant have a bike. But i am bigger."

he went on and on about how "bigger" he was. I went and bought the bike later.. he will get it for Christmas.

Meal time
mom "porter its time for the prayer"
porter ignores me and starts picking at his food
mom "porter fold your arms"
Porter still ignoring me
mom " porter we need to tell heavenly father and Jesus thank you for giving us this food to eat or they will be sad"
Porter " oh yes... we don't want them to be sad." folds his arms and closes his eyes.

mom " porter its time for lunch, do you want a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or grilled cheese sandwich?"
Porter " how bout' eggs and toast? I will help you" goes over to fridge takes eggs and bread out and puts them on the counter! proceeds to push chair over and gets out pan puts it on the stove. Gets spatula. I resign to eggs and toast for the millionth time...

Some of his favorite phrases " hey, wait a minute!" " did you see that?"
