Trip Plans

Utah Here We Come!! We are so excited for the Holidays and can't hardly wait. We are starting them off with Thanksgiving in Florida and then on the 10th Porter, Timmy and I are flying to Utah. We come in at 4:10 pm to be exact! Then Matt will drive or fly out on the 17th and we are going to stay until all the parties are done! We have a wedding to go to, CHRISTMAS, a lot of family to see, a farm to visit, and lots of friends we haven't seen for years, skiing, cabin trips and much more is on our list! We hope we get to see you! If Matt flies we will leave on the 31st to spend New Years in Chicago and if we drive we will leave the West around the 3rd of January. I hope you have a great day!

Halloween and Birthdays!

Sorry it usually doesn't take me this long to post but, with the camera lost and the cord missing it just didn't happen. So I hope you are up for posts from now on! Hopefully we will be weekly from now on! First we have our Halloween pictures and then I finish off with Porters birthday!

Timmy in his Red Dragon Costume. I love the wings and tail! Also, I don't know whose trick or treat jack-o-lantern he found!

Porter Loved Halloween this is at our neighbors house he was such a big boy trick or treating! I think this finding Nemo costume is my favorite costume we own! I love to watch Porter walk in it because it moves the fins and tail and it looks like it is swimming!

Matt and Porter

After he went to 2 houses he was happy he had candy in each hand! It doesn't get much better than that for him!

This is after our ward trunk or treat. Tim and his friend Zack were sharing their treats on the stage. I thought it was pretty cute!

Matt and I dressed up for the ward party as Wesley and Buttercup. It was really fun and Matt looked Awesome!

Happy Birthday Porter! We Love You!

He is 1! We love him so much! He is such a happy boy!

We had the stomach flu and it was Sunday so it wasn't very eventful! We had fun together at home ! It was a beautiful day so we played outside in the morning while Dad and Grandma went to church! Then when they got home we opened presents! Thanks Grandma Hawkes for the awesome toys!

And ate Birthday Cake! He was amazed by the candle!

The little princess is Porter's friend Reese they were born on the same day! So we had a joint party where he was the prince and she was the princess. It was so much and fun! Thanks Lori for such a fun birthday party!

He had chocolate cake for this party and it made just as good of a mess!

It has been such a good month and gone by so fast. I can't believe that it is already November! I hope you have a great day! Thanks for visiting with us!

September Happenings

I feel like I have been really busy lately but, when I look at my calendar I guess I have been busy! We started off the month with a trip to Michigan to support our Utes! We are so excited that they are still undefeated. Then the rest of the month just happened. I do have to apologized for the 3 week delay in a post because I've lost our camera. I don't know where it is. I feel like my posts aren't as fun with out pictures so I put it off until I have cute pictures. Well, with no camera I haven't had any pictures so I'm sorry. We have had a lot of fun this fall so far. The weather has been beautiful and I have loved every moment of it. This past weekend we went to Minnesota to visit my wonderful brother and sister-in-law! It was so much fun to see them and spend time with their cute little boy Eli. They have this most amazing park about 1/4 mile away from their house with a biking trail. I love to go their because it's this cute little town that is so pretty! These pictures are of us at the park!

Some updates:

Matt -- is teaching and loving school he is very busy so when he is home we love it and try to do as many fun and exciting things we can because it seems like we get about 10 hours during the week with him. He has some exciting projects and loves what he is doing. Last night for FHE he planned a fun campout in the backyard we roasted marshmellows and had our lesson by campfire. Then we got to sleep in the tent. The boys love to be with their dad! He is such a wonderful person!

Me -- I'm pregnant, busy and love every moment of it. I love spending time with the boys! They sure keep me running. I will be 17 weeks on Thursday so I guess the baby is the size of an avacado! If you don't know I'm due on March 7th. Everything is going great we find out the gender on Oct 9. So if you have a guess leave a comment. My little hobby right now is my running group I'm in. We go 3 days a week. But, I think I'm going to have to stop in 3 weeks. Today was kind of hard, I'm tired!

Timmy -- Is talking like crazy! He is such a wonderful big brother! He loves to play with Porter it's so nice for me! I just love him so much he is such a good boy. So sweet loves to clean up and he sings the song "clean-up clean-up". I just love the age that he is at! I wish he could stay like this for a little while! But, I'm excited for him to be potty trained I think we have a while on that one.

Porter -- Is walking! He started taking some steps at 9 1/2 months but was still mostley crawling but, now he walks like crazy and our weekend with Eli just made him a stronger walker. He loves to tag along with Timmy play with him outside eat dirt, whatever! He is pretty easy going and loves dogs!

So that's my update! Hopefully I'll get one up a little sooner next time!
