grrrrr

After three days of trying to upload a photo on here I am getting really frustrated! I don't know if its my computer or blogger acting up, but I hope it starts working again soon! Anyone else having problems with this, or is it just me?

Porter is getting so old, three and a half, and he says the funniest things now. He copies a lot of what we say and also phrases from movies. Its just so weird to hear your words repeated back to you by this little person. A few days ago Cory was with the boys in the kitchen getting them some food. While waiting at the table with Theo, Porter says "Papi, Theo is playing with the popcorn on the table, are you okay with that?"

a few other things i am surprised to hear out of his mouth:

"mommy I cant go to school today, Im sick *fake forced cough*"
(yes thats right, my three year old already is faking sick to get out of school!)

" oh, okay, i didnt know that!" ( after I explain anything new to him.. too bad adults arent this easy to accept changes or new ideas!)

" Are you kidding me?"
"Thats incredible!"

I love this kid

passed out on the couch on conference Saturday. Poor little guy was not feeling well and has had a stomach bug all week. Luckily he has lots of fat reserves so we just have to worry about hydration! Can you imagine sleeping in this position?
Yes we know his hair is long.. believe it or not we actually have cut it multiple times, but I cant bear to cut it really short. He is just so cute with it longer ( and maybe i am mourning my no girl by having a long haired boy .. LOL)


Theo has these clear blue eyes and ivory complexion that just make me fall in love with him more every time I look at him! He is such a happy toddler, and his sweet little personality just makes every day a joy for me. I cant imagine him not being in our family. He is 15 months now. Still only has the 4 teeth.. we are amazed what that kid can eat with no molars to chew with! He says "Theo" all the time, apparently we have said his name a lot or he just really likes his name but its his favorite word to say. He also says "no, no,no" other than that we cant distinguish any words, he does babble though and can understand when we say things.

Happy Birthday To Cory

Birthday Cake I made for Cory. Porter wanted the bunny on it.. and then porter added the circle sprinkles. I put a yummy strawberry cheesecake filling in the center, which was a big hit.
porter was so excited, you would have thought it was his birthday. Below we were trying to get a family shot... but its nigh impossible to get us all looking at the camera with smiles. This was a good one of Cory and I at least!

I am posting this a little late.. his birthday was 2 weeks ago. He is 29 now.. so one year left of his 20's... hope its a great year for him! When Cory and I had only been dating for 6 weeks he had his 24rth birthday. I remember that day well.. because I had been in the ER in the morning for some sharp pain in my abdomen. Turns out i had some cysts that were bursting on my ovary. They had me on lortab for the pain and Cory drove me back to his house for his birthday. His family must have thought I was a big weirdo

since I was out of it from the drugs. To top it off i had written him a personal card that told him how much i loved him and was all mushy and detailed. When he started opening his gifts from his family he read each of their cards aloud, if i was not on lortab i would have been with it enough to tell him to save my card for later. I was in such a daze I didn't think this until he started to read it.. when i told him to stop his family wanted to hear it even more.. ugh. I was mortified. Oh well i guess it all worked out in the end. And now I know that they are read the card out loud kind of people.

In like a lion... and out like a lion!



These pictures were taken on March first. We had a snow storm blow in with huge flakes and they fell extremely quickly. We ended up with about 6 inches at the end of the day! I remember thinking this has got to be the last of these storms!! Well it wasn't.. we had a few more over the next few weeks.



These pictures are from march 31st. Another storm, with a record low for Salt Lake City for this day. We got a total 5 inches of fresh white fluffy snow over 24 hours. I was so depressed... when is spring going to come?
