Did I mention that Garrett made the "A" team for 8th Grade?

Yup, he did. Starting long snapper and safety!

Football season is my Faaaaav!

Go Mustangs

Go Eagles

Go Longhorns

Porter's First at Football

If i gotta cheer for the Longhorns it's gonna

be for this little guy!

Port-man is playing flag football this year.

He's loving it and momma is loving one more game of football

added to the mix!

p.s. Good thing they require those sweet helmets this year :)

and good thing Porter did wrestling last fall so he's used to it.

First Day of School---

I missed getting Kado in the morning but here he is after his first day of school

Go Team Meerkat! ha ha

G- the big 8th Grader

Port-man heading to 1st Grade

Elle-Belle getting so grown up--5th Grade

HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL 2010-2011

The Lord truly hears our prayers and answers them in sometimes really clever ways! For the past several months I've been worried about what I would do once Porter started 1st grade. Should I look for a job, volunteer more at the school, spend time doing who knows what...but the Lord had a different "job" in mind!

I was called to be Primary President

oh dear...

I'm super excited, overwhelmed, grateful, blessed, thankful,

and really looking forward to some great personal growth!

Kaden's B-day Cake

So I tried doing a "fancy" cake this year for Kaden's b-day.

My good friend Jana Wright, taught me! She's PRO but as you can see I'm still in need of some practice! It turned out pretty good for my first try.

"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!"
