8 is great!!!

We started the day with family breakfast at Carl's jr (our tradition) for frosting biscuits and sausage biscuits and opened the first presents. Duck hunter from Ella and an iTunes card from mom and dad. Lunch time came aroun and porter chose Chinese so we headed to FORMOSA **yum** and of course opened more presents. But I think the greatest part of porters day was when chapman walk picked him up and took him to the mall to buy his very own flat hat :) it was so adorable!!! Over all it was a great day. He also got to have two friends to the movies madagascar 3 and then to Angie's to clean the kitchen sink a huge ice cream dish. And then the weekend came along and all the Seamons joined us for a BBQ and some more cake:)

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 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.

We love our stockings
Santa's bags. a new traditions from Grandma Great. I loved this when I was little to see what was in his bad at grandmas. I am excited to have them filled up at our house on Christmas now.

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.

porter with his Santa hat so cute asleep.

3-16-2010

this little yellow thing is what porter was driving around with a remote control. so fun.

First day of work.

Brian called us to the job when there was a super cool piece of equipment that he thought porter would fall in love with running. It was so cute but of course by the time I got back with the camera he was done driving it with his super D-duper remote control. But none the less the kids always have a great time when we go to see dad at the job.

Ryker

Getting sick at our house is just not that bad!

Ryker had everything that he needed

DISNEYLAND OR BUST

The boys have always loved the carousel.
Need a lift. We were at the "stand up" parade. The kids couldn't see until...

spin faster mom spin faster. ewe I'm dizzy

Well it is no secret WE LOVE DISNEY!!! Here is the latest, we decided to go to take advantage of Ryker being 3 (nothing better) and seeing his excitement of the magic!

We had so much fun this year again, but it was quite funny to see Ryker not being grasped by the magic but rather would like to sit on the benches with his churros or popcorn and watch the crowds go by.

Porter and I rode all the rides together I even took him on the big scary roller coaster’s. I loved coming out of them and seeing his picture he look so incredibly board in them it was hilarious!

what is LOVE

MY GOOFY BOYS!!!
