Chad turns 38!

First, I don't know why these photos are so fuzzy.

We celebrated Chad's 38 birthday on Monday, Oct. 25th!

It was fun to watch him open gifts and then

to eat "Birthday Pie"...he requested pumpkin pie instead of cake.

Happy Birthday CHAD!

We love you!

Ellie ready for the Western Daddy Daughter Party

We missed getting a picture with Dad but here's our

little Western girl ready for her big date!

They had a great time.

First Tornado chasing!

Garrett and Chad went to find the storm.

They could see it from a far but soon realized it was an hour away.

Garrett loved it and took these photos.

Makeup gone wrong!

Ellie and her friend Hailee had a litte too much fun

playing with makeup. I thought only toddlers did stuff like this!

Oh well...atleast they had a really great time!

BEFORE...shaggy puppy so cute

AFTER HAIRCUT...my little teenage puppy boy!
I was so sad to see his puppy hairs all gone but it was nearly in dreadlocks
and the tech said it was "a mess"!

TOFW

Ohhh...my favorite time of year! Time Out For Women came to Texas!

We are so excited--meet my cute friends,

Jana Wright & Xela (pronounced Shayla) Wilson

We were so close to the front--yipee! Our other
cute friend on the end is Tresa Frost

Day 2! So happy to be here bright and early trying to
get good seats again.
Jana, Mashell, Tresa, Xela

And for the first time evehhhh...
I finally had the nerve (encouraged by Xela) to go up and
meet the faaaabulous Hilary Weeks!
It was so great. Love that gal!
We had a wonderful time and as always, it's hard to leave and go back to reality.
But so well worth it. I'm so grateful for opportunities like these
to recharge and come away full of awe!

MIL & FIL

Cute Gramma and Grandpa Morris came to visit!

It was so great to see them. It had been almost a year

since we had see them so it was a treat!

Thanks for coming to spend time with us.

We love you and miss you!

"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!"
