Basketball

Porter is playing Jr. Jazz this year and he is so excited. We had his first game on the 8th and it was way fun!!! Porter was really good even making baskets. He was especially excited when his friend ended up on his team. I will be excited to see him progress by the end of the season.











Porter and Payton. They look so happy dont they?




Christmas with Grandma Great!

Totaly chillaxing!

we got to see Shauna, Garth and Christian


I asked grandma if she had any idea that Brian would come and fall asleep there. She says Yes, that is why I left out the pillow.
Everytime we go he gets all cozy and has a nap it was too funny.


Playing legos







We got to go to rupert the day after Christmas and spend the day with Grandma and send a little cheer for her Birthday. Porter was so excited about taking his new lego game. So we played and visited all day it was wonderful and homey.

Porter teaches First grade
































Porter got the oppertunity to teach class this week as the Resident Expert. His topic of choice
was honeybees. He was so excited to learn all about bees, how they make honey and how the farmers harvest the honey. Our Bishop is such a cute man he was able to come in and help Porter one day this week . He keeps bees at his house and he harvests honey each fall. So he brought some of the tools used and the bee suit for porter to wear and demonstrate. He brought one of the frames where the bees store thier honey. He even brought raw honey in for all the kids to taste. It was so much fun for Porter to have Bishop join him. You could tell that he thought he was pretty cool brining in a guest speaker.
Porter says in the begining. Today I am going to teach you how to harvest honey. This is my friend Mark Firth he is my bishop, well my old bishop. ( that was pretty cute, it got a chuckle from bishop) then he says Bishop this is my class and this is my teacher. he is so grown up.
Very sweetly after that Bishop took over and went on to explain his process. What a great week for Porter. He is getting so big he loved the oppertunity to teach in class. He asked me just this morning if he though he would beable to teach again. :) I sure hope so it was a fun week.
