Christmas Day 2010

When Porter woke up at 708 I ran to get my cameras, to take lots of video and pictures. The boys were beyond excited! so Ryker woke up and we got busy. It was such a wonderful Christmas. Everytime Ryker would open a present he would say this is what i always wanted.

Christmas Eve

The boys were so excited for Christmas. They could hardly contain themselves this year. It was so much fun.

Ryker was having the hardest time getting to sleep, it was about 11:00. He usually is in be asleep by 7:30 so that was way late. He kept sneaking out of his room saying that he could hear jingle bells. So he finally came out and was looking out the window. I asked him what are you looking for and he says Rudolf's red nose. Me "what does it look like?" it is circle, and bright as can be. He was sure that he was going to sneak on Santa this year.

So wanting to be sneaky they both wore their Santa caps to bed. Ryker wanted to scare Santa, cause he would look just like him.

Porter went right to sleep in all of about 2 seconds, but then he woke up with so much excitement at about midnights and could not go back to sleep, at all. he was trying so hard he came to lay with us he went to lay in his bed I laid with him. Nothing was working for him. His tummy was growling and he thought he wanted pancakes, but I was not getting up to make them in the middle of the night. He was just over come with the excitement of the unknown. He had earlier snuck out and found that Santa had already been here, because he felt the stockings and they were "full". he finally got settled down at about 3 am, and slept till 708. when he rolled over and asked is it time? I said good job Porter you did it! And we came to see what Santa brought.

THE LION KING

Brian and I got to go to the Lion King Broadway production in SLC with our bank as guests and it was so wonderful. We truly loved every minute of it, and the entire time we were there we kept saying just how much the boys would love it. So the morning after we had seen it I went online and found tickets (they were good too 7 rows back from the stage) for us all to go the following week to the Saturday matinee. Again it was so wonderful. The costumes, songs, actors and actresses, and pageantry was just amazing. We could not believe the little voices of simba and nala those kids were very talented.

It was really funny on our drive down to SLC, we told the kids that we were going to a theater and the show had real live people in it. Their first questions were about the treats. and I informed them that there is no treats at these kinds of shows, these kind are different that is why we have to were our nice clothes and everything. They were pretty bummed out "WHAT NOT EVEN POPCORN." so when we got there and they had water for sale Ryker said "see there is something." They were also able to get a 4 inch cushion to put under their bottom so they could see. They though that was pretty neat.

The boys wanted to check out the theater so this is Ryker up on the stage and both of them looking down into the orchestra. They thought that was so awesome.

We had such a wonderful time and Porter super loved the show he is still talking about it a month later. Ryker not so much it was a long time for him to sit,and he got scared when the laughing hyena's came on to the stage with scar, but after intermission he hopped into Brian's lap and fell asleep.

When we got home that night we all piled into my bed and turned on the movie the Lion King and had popcorn. Perfect end to a perfect day!!!

what is LOVE

MY GOOFY BOYS!!!
