Fun at the park...

The other day I took Porter Jay to the park near our home. He loves the swing and gets the giggles for the first few minutes. He is such a fun little boy, I don't think I can ever get enough of him.

Porter's Haircut

We got a little tired of the hair over the ears, mullet look. I am too scared to cut a Barbie's hair so I took him down the street to get his 1st real haircut. She gave him a sucker and he stayed as still as a rock. The only problem was that the sucker got on his face, and then the hair stuck to his cheeks. He left with a beard. Ha.

Sweet Nap

Porter usually likes to be put to sleep in his own bed. So when he fell asleep next to me on the couch Sunday morning I was so surprised. It was so sweet that I didn't want to move, and eventually I fell asleep also. I guess Jared snuck in with the camera. I love my baby.

BOOO for Snakes

Jared's brother Robby lives, breathes and probably dreams of snakes. He has a couple aquariums in his basement with snakes. And anywhere we go he wants to go hunting for snakes. I, on the other hand despise snakes! I am literally cringing as I see these pictures. Ooooh! Just the other day we were at their house and I went to use their restroom and lo and behold there was a rubber snake next to the toilet. I about had a heart attack! But since Robby just started blogging about snake, they all wanted to get some pictures of this snake that they found up the canyon. I can assure you all these pictures had to be cropped since they were taken from a distance.

2008 Porter Family Reunion

The Porter Family Reunion was last weekend, and you wouldn't believe the attention our little boy got since his name is PORTER. What a hit! Porter got to get lots of loves from his great grandma, his grandpa, and cousins galore. The reunion took place in Morgan, UT which is a mile from Porterville, Utah.. where my ancestors settled after coming out West. It is a really pretty city, green hills and rivers that run though. There is a man made reservoir at the top of the mountain. I would totally live there if it wasn't so far from the city life. Although, I guess THAT is what makes it so beautiful, huh?

Cowboys - THEN & NOW

There is this old picture of Jared and his brothers wearing matching Cowboys shirts. So for the 4th of July this year we decided we should duplicate the old Cowboy shirts. Richard and Lisa found similar shirts through one of their vendors and screen printed the logos on. The back of the shirts had our numbers which were the number in which we joined the family. It was cute. Everyone was troopers while I took pictures. I think it is darling. KUDOS to Jared who came up with the idea!!!

Moab Baby!

Last week we met Jared's brother Travis and his family in Moab. They had stopped at Moab on their long road trip from Florida to Utah! It was so good to see them. They got this sweet condo that fit 3 families, and we had a blast. We enjoyed swimming at the pool, Ken's Lake, hiking, Ken's Lake Waterfall, taking the raft out, catching up and playing! Talk about FUN in the SUN!

WATERFALL

Here are some family shots at the waterfall...

Climb That Hill!

Ken's Lake has this awesome waterfall that goes from the top of the mountain all the way to the lake. You can even get behind the waterfall. It was so neat! Here are some snaps from the top!
