Finally a Post

So it's so sad because my blog is my reward. If I get all the things done that I need to then I can post. So just to show you how bad I am about accomplishing my to do lists! It's been how long?! I was out of town last weekend too. But, still it's been too long so..... I have a lot to post! So to start off, I don't know who knows but we will be staying in Illinois for the next 4 1/2 years. That's a long time but, we have some great family and friends here so we are happy! It's been a lot of fun to live here:

1) To be in this part of the country so close to family we love having Mom, Abby Jane, The Taylors, Noah and Ashley and Dave all here in the midwest.Plus we are close to Chicago we have an aquarium year pass it's awesome!

2)It's just a days drive to the East coast (haven't done it yet but maybe someday).

3)We do get awesome prices to fly down to FL to visit Tim and Kate! Wich I wish I could do this weekend because I'm so sick of the freezing cold and no sun. But, good news I get to go to Texas with my mom and the 2 boys next week. It's going to be so much fun!

Okay, that is enough about Illinois and trips! My favorite thing to post about is my family! I love my family it's so fun and changes so much! Tim grows-up more and more everyday. Last night he pointed to a lion and said " Mommy, lion rrrroooarrrr!" It was so cute and a new word for him. I didn't know he knew animal sounds or lions. Other animals he knows are fish, dog and bear. Another knew thing is that he knows how to make toast. I caught on a little late I had no idea what he was doing until he pulled out the bread and toaster. I wish I could have gotten the tape a little sooner. After his toast was done he said his prayer and ate it. He is the cutest ever! I love my Timmy! This is Tim stuck in the mud while dad was playing with him. He had an adventurous week with dad while I was with the girls in Chicago!
Tim loves to make pop pop! This is popcorn, we even sing Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree!

This is Tim's first picture with the digital camera! Pretty good huh? I think he might have a talent!

We have so much fun toghether he always keeps me laughing!

Now it's time for my sweet Porter Bear:

I like to call him my chunker monker!

He likes to eat everything!

He is so sweet!

Check out this pose! Love the thighs!

He now eats rice cereal, applesauce and peas. Tim was such a wonderful big brother to help in this feeding process. He even thought the cereal was good so he ran and got a spoon and dug in! Here is a little picture to show you:

Here is Porter becoming my little PT cruiser. He can roll and sorta sit up he is growing way to fast! I wish I could push pause sometimes and just keep him this age. He laughs like crazy and it's so much fun.

Matt and I are doing great! We were able to go to a Martina McBride concert a couple of weeks ago. It was so much fun. Our friends had an extra ticket so last minute we got a babysitter (Grandma, Thank You) and went and had a blast. I love going on dates with my honey! Time flies and I can't believe that we have been together for 4 years! When we went to the concert I had such a blast it felt like we were dating again. I even got the butterlies in my stomach! I love him so much. He is such a wonderful husband and does so much for me and the boys! I love you honey! It's his birthday on Sunday the 9th!

Can I just say that I think Martina McBride is a really awesome person. She let a 15 year old girl stand up on stage and sing with her. Isn't that so cool! I wish I could sing on stage with her! Anyway thanks for looking at my long post. Pat yourself on the back you made it to the end!
