Sleeping FUNNY!!!

I Decided to take some pictures of how Ryker sleeps. One at his nap yesterdayIt made me laugh because his mimi is sitting right under his chin and he is still sucking it. one at bed time! He is so funny he moves so much. We always find him somewhere other than in his bed.

To Washington Part 2

These are pictures from the car ride up to Washington. Porter knows that it will be a long time to drive there so before we get out of the valley he starts asking "are we there yet" and our response was No! We told him " see how dark it is out side" we left early in the morning. "it will get morning then we will have lunch then when it is dinner time we will finally be there. It will be dark AGAIN."
So when we got to Boise he asked again "are we there yet" We said no not for 6 more hours. he says "6 hours! but that is six more movies" I said YES!

They were all comfy cozy with there special pillows.

HEADED FOR WASHINGTON.

While I was packing for our thanksgiving break in Washington the boys were hard at PLAYING! They love boxes. I wish i could have captured them in this box but I only got them out. So here is the box toy of the day!

Hard day of Work!!

Tuff came over with his dad to work on sat. and Tuff ended up just coming in and PLAYING with Porter all day. They had such a great time. Tuff brought hand cuffs so that was their fun game. When it got warm enough to go outside in the afternoon the boys went and played on the hill and up the ravine. When the work day was over we had a big fire and cooked hamburgers it was so much fun. We are so excited to get into our house so that we have lots of space for our guests. It is a little tight in the camper but nobody seems to mind. It is nice and cozy!!!

Who says you cant have fun in a Camper?!?!?

The kids are always finding new ways to have fun in the camper.

We make tents or forts or pens every day with the cushions from the couch, and a fitted sheet. (who knew you could use a fitted sheet to fill up your entire room for a awesome tent.)

Porter and Ryker love games so we made a make-shift table out of the paper towel package and they sat on cereal boxes to play their game.

Fun day at the park

These pictures are way backdated we enjoyed out day at the park Nov 3, 2008

My kids love the park so we were enjoying some of the last days that we had until it gets really cold. We always enjoy the company of our cousins. Porter and Ryker just love them to death. That is always where they want to go, to see the kids. They have such a good freindship.

BEST FRIENDS!!!

Are these not the cutest boys ever. They really are the best little friends. They just love each other so much. They would be lost with out each other. They were watching a movie together. I thought this was too adorable.

FISHING

My boys took the question of fishing when ever you want to new highs. We had an extreme fishing party. Take a look see how they did. (Don't you just love the hat!)

Porter holding up his whopper!

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY...

I don't know if I want the rain to go away. I think these boys are just too cute in their rain gear. They have these super cute matching coats that I got for them last year and my mom got them matching Lightning McQueen boots. They are adorable!

Are these not the cutest boys you have ever seen. I love the way they love each other.
This is my favorite picture.

Porter was trying to catch rain drops.

he got one!!!

I love BOYS!!!

So their is no question of where I have always stood. I have ALWAYS been BOY CRAZY!!!! I just love them and That did not change at all when I had my two boys. They are so special. I just have to comment on them today because I am feeling so lucky to be their MOM. I know that I might be bias but Porter and Ryker are so great. With out them I would be LOST! Brian too everything that all these boys teach me every single day is molding me into a better person. Porter is so smart, kind, giving, outgoing. Ryker is so funny, curious, cute, adventurous. Brian is the most honest, giving, loving person I have ever met.



Dear Porter,

You are so special, smart and good. I love spending time with you. You have so many questions, and you tell so many stories. I love your imagination. I wish that I could live in your world for just a day to know what it is like to have such a great mind. I have never known a kid to be so outgoing. You instantly love EVERYONE! I have had the hardest time teaching you about strangers because everyone is your friend. You have such a great desire to learn and be good at the things you try, a real stick with it attitude. You have a strong will and a little temper, but I think that just shows that you will be very driven when you get big a great quality for a boy to have. I think that it is great that you love school so much, you are only half way through your preschool and you are already asking when kindergarten starts. I love reliving through your eyes. To watch you learn is one of my greatest pleasures! I think it is just adorable that you love mommy so much. I love sitting with you and ryker at night waiting for you to go to sleep. I love my time with you. You are such a good boy; you love your family so much. You help so much with ryker and you are a very good example for him. Thank you for being you! I love you

Love MOM

Dear Ryker,
You are my little stinker. I love the way you are so silly. I think it is so fun to see how much you have changed in your life. You have has such a large trial already and you are only two. I am so glad that you are well now. I think that your smile your little teeth they are just adorable every time you laugh I laugh because you just MELT me. I cherish our time at night together when Porter goes to bed and we lie down and sing songs and tell stories. You are so cute. The other night when I told you to tell me a joke I laughed so hard when you looked at me and pretended to Choke. That was just so funny. I love when you tell me that things are PUNNY. Your little voice is just so cute. You are so independent and such a free spirit. You are only worried about having the most fun that you can. I have never seen a kid that loves toys as much as you do, and you have always been that way too. You are doing such a great job too in your big boy underwear’s too. You call them Wear wears I love that. I love you!
Love MOM

Dear Brian,

We have gone our rounds, but I am thankful for each and every one. I am so glad to be your wife. I love you will all my heart. I know that you are my one and only! I love that when I talk you listen; I love that when we have a problem you think about it. I love that you fix everything. I love that you are a thinker, you never miss a beat!!! I am so thankful that you are the way that you are because I know that means the best life for us and the boys. I am so glad that you analyze because if you didn’t we would maybe miss a beat. I love that you are the BEST dad around; you would win the best dad in America contest hands down in my book. The boys love you so much they are so excited to see you when you get home for the day. They love to spend time with you at the job too. I think it is so cute how much the boys love to help you work. I love that you take time each week to spend time with just me. You are so great at managing time all of us get our time with you! You are the best provider for us; you work so hard to make sure that we are all happy. I love that you are building my house. I love that we are going to be together for eternity.
With all my heart I love you!

THE CONVERSATION

So, because Ryker is potty training he has heard lots of new words that go along with it. DO you need to go potty, peepee, poop, poopoo, so on and so forth you get the picture. well he has decided that it is super funny to call people those names followed by head. so he tells everyone you peepee head, poopoo head you get the point. So this is our conversation from just this morning.

Mommy you poopoo head, mommy you peepee head.

Ryker you don't say those words, those are yucky words.

poopoo peepee. peepee poopoo

Ryker do not say that.

poopoo
Ryker that is so naughty. You don't say those words those are mean words

(in a whisper voice) peepee.

Me getting mad. RYKER! Those are mean word, DON'T YOU SAY THOSE MEAN WORDS!

(if you know Ryker at all imagine the most sweetest cutest most melt you voice in the whole world) Mom me not like nice words, me say mean words.

What do you say to that! He is just the hardest person in the world to get mad at or punish because he is just so dang cute and if he is not being cute, he melts you with his little voice. The way he talks is priceless. I wish that i could download his voice for all of you because I have so much recorded because it is just that great!

My response in the end was no Rykee we like nice words not mean, and that was the end of the Conversation.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

My kids, well and ME and Brian too, had such a great time on Halloween. I had a great visit with a friend from the ward which started it out to be FANTASTIC. To see Porter so excited about the events that were going to take place during the night was so fun to see. This was the first year that he was really excited. He is so funny too because he does not even like candy. He was excited that he got it but he did not eat one single thing. I wish that I had that in me but nope me and my Ryk's are CANDY HEADS! Ryker just want BIG ONES. Way cute when he asks for a treat! So this is how we had fun.

These are a few of the pictures that just MELTED me!

This is Porter exercising his right as a police officer. The law in action!!!

garage doors

That's is right we now have garage doors. We have been making such progress. We are now all closed in except for the, one bundle of shingle that we ran short. but here is a look at the new garage doors.

RYKER

Ryker can be so silly sometimes. This child is what completed us. He is so special. I love that he wants to be with me all the time. I just laugh and laugh all day long. Notice that the too big shoes are on the wrong feet I just loved this I thought that was so funny!

Doesn't he look so comfy! he is such a big boy in such a little body. OH YEAH that is right he is wearing underwear! One day out of the blue he told me wear wearwears mom. I asked him, you want to wear underwear and he said YES. so he is potty training. I was not even going to attempt until we were in our house but when they are ready they are ready, right.

Primary

I am so grateful for Primary!

I am a convert as most know and I just love that my kids get to go to primary. I was called by a sister in the ward to sub for her for the last couple weeks. I have one week to go, and I am absolutely loving it. I have had the best time with my little 5 year old and I would love to be able to keep teaching in the primary. I think that it is so great. I love that I LEARN! just in the last two weeks I have learned about two different scripture stories. What I wonderful program!

This last week we are starting with the November lessons and in Sharing time we are talking about being grateful. Something that I have recently been very in tune to. It was such a great lesson and I am grateful for everything that I have and everything that I have. Which brings me to why I am grateful for living in the CAMPER. I love that I get to live here in this spot, I am grateful that we all live together and that we are such a happy family learning and working together. I am grateful for it ALL. Those are just a few of the things I could go on and on.

In fact, for Family Home Evening tonight we are going to compile a list of 100 things that we are grateful for and you know I think that we could get more than that and I don't think that it will take us long either.

We are so LUCKY

I know that I post about this alot but everytime that we do something new at our new house I love that we live here and I feel so lucky to have the oppertunity to live in such a wonderful place! I asked Brian "Who can do this?"

We had a camp fire, looked out to the university and the temple had stars in the sky, roasted marshmellows, and the kids jumped on the tramp!
