Dinner with Porter

How cute is that messy face!

Visitors

Grandpa and Grandma came to visit us for the weekend! It was a blast to have them here, the boys love when they come to visit. It was a weekend filled with lots of yummy food and playing around the house, reading books, and playing at the park! The only pictures taken were when we went to Big Juds! It was a fun night with lots of yummy greasy food! It was fun to have them here with us, thanks for coming to visit! As Porter would say, love you "Bompa" and "Gama"!

Porter's First Big Jud burger!

Hayden's likes his hamburgers!

Grandma's mouth is not big enough for that beast!

Hayden and Grandpa having a blowing contest through the straw, I think Hayden won! =)

Just the right size! We ended up splitting it into quarters and we still couldn't devour that beast, maybe next time!

Family Pictures 2011

Blast From The Past--Just The Two Of Us!

So we started using our old computer to let Hayden Play on. I was looking through it I found all these old pictures that I had forgotten all about. Crazy that some of these pictures were 5+ years ago. The Past 5 years have gone so fast and so much has happened to us and changed in the last 5 years. Both of us are done with school, Yeah!! We have two amazing little boys whom we love so much, a place to call home....the list goes on! It's been fun for me to look at these old pictures, it brings back some fun memories! Looking at each other, we both have gained a little weight (haha), Have a little more wrinkles, a little less hair (TJ I mean, J/K Love you babe), and a lot less energy then we did 5 years ago. Thank goodness for pictures, I have never been great a writing things down so I'm glad I at least have LOTS of Pictures!

Here are some updated pictures of the boys. They are both growing up so fast and I love spending every second I can with them!Porter is now crawling everywhere and pulling himself up on everything. If you can see in this picture he also has two little teeth on the bottom and is working on the ones on top!

Hayden's Aunt Katy made him this apron, and he loves to wear it and help me cook. He is such a cute little chef!

I love this picture of the boys, they treat each so good and have so much fun together, I sure love watching them together.

My boys have the most beautiful eyes, its not fair how long their eyelashes are, I can only hope that our girls have the same luck that my boys have had!

Hayden is such a fun little boy! I love being his Mom, he is such a great big brother and loves his little brother! He is getting to the stage of having such an imagination. There are some days where TJ and I just look at each other and laugh, this kid is always making us laugh. There is never a dull moment in our house hold, and I love it!

My Boys

I can't seem to get enough of my boys! They are constantly making us laugh with the silly things they do! They bring us so much joy and happiness and we love them so much! Hayden says the funniest things and I always think, "I need to write that down" but of course I don't and then I forget. So I hope the big book will back me up so I can laugh about it again! Porter is growing and learning to do so much everyday! I can't believe he is already 7 months old, time sure does pass us by. As of right now he is rolling around and sitting up and crawling when he wants, mostly if you put food in front of him! He also says Mama, now it could be him just jabbing but I would like to think he is saying Mama because Hayden said Dada first so its only fair! We are so grateful for our boys and love them so much!
