My funny Porter

Porter always is saying things that make me laugh. Here are a few of his latest.

I was upstairs changing Theo's diaper and heard the baby crying downstairs. Porter jumps up and runs down the stairs yelling at the top of his lungs

"IM COMING BABY, I am going to rescue you!" I then hear him cooing and singing to the baby. I come down to find him making silly faces and doing a silly dance to make Preston smile.

Porter really likes to sing. The funny part is he doesnt seem to know the right words most of the time. He was singing this song the other day over and over and this is what he said:

rodolf the red nosed reindeer, had a rainy shiny nose. And if you ever sawed it you could even say it closed. all of the odder reindeers they used to call my name. Then one froggy christmas eve santa came to say, rodolf wont you sigh my said tonight!

those are not typos. that is exactly how it went!

I meant to post this a while back, but on thanksgiving we were playing the thankful game as a family where you go around and say what you are thankful for. Cory and i were saying usual things like our kids and home and then porter says he is thankful for Darth Vador. I turned to him and said " really? you are thankful for a bad guy?" and he said " well... actually I bless him. Because its good to bless the bad guys." how could i not just scoop him up for a hug after that comment? Children are so Christlike.

New Class Date

After much stress on my part to get my house cleaned and packed and rented out by January 7th, and stress on Cory's Part to finish an A+ course he was taking that was already paid for before we left, we finally called back the HR woman and pleaded with her to give us a later date. Not that we wanted to be the annoying difficult people but really this was too much too fast.

So thankfully she let us switch to a March 31 class date. I am thrilled! My brother is getting married on March 13th and now I will be able to attend. Plus I have plenty of time to deal with my home now. YAY! This may seem like a small deal to you all you people just reading about it but a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and it really is a blessing to me that she let us get a date so far in the future.

I think i need to send the woman some flowers or something for being so understanding and letting us turn down the third date she has called us for.

Anyways so for all of you that keep thinking i am leaving you are stuck with me for a few more months!

Blog of My house

I made a little blog of my house to show pictures of it and have more info. that way i can link to if from craigs list and KSL and people can see more about it. Anyways here is the link in case anyone reading this wants to see/rent/buy my home.

I will add pictures of my living room tonight or in the morning.. i still am getting Christmas packed away so it doesn't look so cluttered

We are Moving!!

Yes that is right... we got called for our third class date today and decided to accept because we figure they might stop giving us class dates at this point if we decline again! Its three weeks notice so January 12th. We will all be going to Oklahoma for three months while Cory is in training and then from there we will drive down to Midland. So as you can imagine I am really stressed about getting everything tied up here that soon. If anyone knows of anyone that wants to rent or buy our townhouse let me know!! Also if anyone is really awesome and wants to come help me pack or clean in the next couple weeks i would love you forever!

Theo Turns 2

We had a small party for Theo for his second birthday. I made him a dinosaur cake because he loves them and he doesnt talk well enough to tell me what he wanted. The flashlight was a gift from his aunt Jenny and Uncle Warren and he hasn't put it down since he got it! He even takes it to bed with him at night and had to hold it in the car.

Theo: budding picaso

I was in the kitchen working on Christmas cookies with Porter and all was quiet in the living room. Cory suddenly called me in to see the baby. Apparently Theo couldn't find any paper, but hey a brother works just as well! Thankfully it was crayola so it washes off pretty well. ( and yes we usually do have the markers put up but porter was coloring christmas pictures and so they were out)

Mom what happened!?
