Wheeew! We're back up and running! Thanks to Chadly for fixin' up the computer and saving all that he couold! What a nightmere! I'm so thankful for Chad and all his handy man work this week. Here's a little tidbit of
"WHEN THINGS GO WRONG"
A week ago...
Saturday- Van won't start- had to be given a jump at every stop I made..soccer, football, football!
Saturday Night- big boys playing ball in the front yard and knock over the lamp post-ugh!
Sunday- Computer crashes
Tuesday- Dishwasher floods kitchen..ugh!
Meanwhile I'm stressing out and Chad is just laughing! He replaces the van battery~voila! van works, he orders external hard drive~voila! computer up and running, he cuts down metal post of lamp re-bolts it into the ground~voila! Lamp back in place. He runs to appliance parts shop during lunch hour- purchases new "seal", comes home, works on dishwasher~voila! dishwasher stops leaking!
Was this a week for me to learn to appreciate Chad more or what? I guess I was being taught more patience and appreciation for the little things!

"Porter-isms"
- We had just left my mom's house. We had been there visiting with Jana and her kids and Mom and Ross. We drove off and Porter says "Mom, I don't like when we go to parties with our family and then we have to leave...it makes my tummy hurt real bad!" --Oh my sweet boy, that is called "homesick" Porters first real experience of homesickness for family!
-We had just heard Bon Jovi's song "Make A Memory"...the D.J. said, "That was Bon Jovi.... Porter pipes up from the back and says "That was Bon Jovi Mom? That is my favorite guy! Mom, you should've bought me a Bon Jovi costume for Halloween!"
-Shortly after church he was telling us about how great his new CTR ring was and how he can CTR now because he has a ring...the story went on and on...then he turns to me and in all seriousness says "and my teacher told me my stories are too long!" I had to laugh because I was thinking that same thing!
-During church Porter leans into me after watching a the baby sitting in front of us and says "Mom, I wish I could go back to being a tiny baby so you could name me Bruce Wayne"....
-Porter questioning me about how I could "stack" (his word) all our kids in my stomach to have babies then simple resolves his own question by saying "Oh, I know, we were in heaven first and then Heavenly "Faver" used the force and put us in your tummy cuz he has the force just like Yoda and Jedi's."
-He recently asked me "Mom, when can I get married" I said well first you have to turn 19 and be a missionary and then when you finish that you can come back home and start looking for your wife. He chuckled and then said "well, who will I marry?" I said, we don't know right now it will be someone you fall in love with. He giggles and then says "So you felled in love with our dad?"
-I was up at the pulpit in sacrament bearing my testimony tearfully and Porter leans over to Brittney and says "Hey look, my mom feels the Holy Ghost!"

I'm sure that Chad was LOVING all of the extra work around the house!! At least he knows how to fix it all. Landon is MUCH better than he used to be. Sure is less stressful when they can just put things back together, instead of having to call someone else to do it. Glad you back up and running
Yay Chad! I like you would have been stressed out by all those things. Good thing we have husbands to take care of them for us.
Happy Birthday Porter! That sucks about you dishwasher, what a nightmare. I'm just glad your computer is working again
I hope the leak didn't ruin the floor. What a husband! And what a week!!
I love a good 'ole handyman! Sounds like Chad is a champ. I swear I don't know what I'd do if Jim wasn't around. I'd be in a real mess that's for sure.
Aren't husband the best--most of the time! Ha! Ha! I too have a "fix-it" husband. It's so nice to not have to pay a repair man 5 times more than what it would cost to fix it yourself! Way to go Chad!
Yeah Chad, we may give you a call one of these days! Cute pics of Porters birthday, what a sweet guy!
