Random Fun with Porter

Last weekend we went to Job's cousin's wedding and they had these little fans that Porter figured out how to use. He also was able to play with one of Job's cousin's son. It was so cute to watch the two together. They are 5 days apart and have identical personalities. We also took Porter to the cemetary where Job's grandparents are and he tried pulling the flags out of the ground.

Some things about Porter:
He is almost 16 months
Loves the outdoors (thinks if he has shoes on he gets to go outside or thinks if the door gets open he gets to go outside)
Loves balls and hats
Know the number 2. If he has 2 things in his hands than he holds them out and says 2.
Loves his daddy and hates when he leaves.
Knows how to say dada, mama, baby, hat, ball, dog, spoon, car, grandpa, out, plus more
He has 8 teeth but is getting at least 5 more
He loves to laugh
He can blow on his food,
Kiss his baby sister (say sister when he feels like it)
Climbs on everything
Plays peek-a-boo
Throws a ball like a champ

Lake Isabella Camping

Over Labor Day weekend we met my parents and sister Christina at Lake Isabella to do some camping. It was so much fun. We bought a bigger tent and Porter loved running around, throwing his ball down the little hill and playing in the water. I realized that I don't have a picture of myself on here because those are on my mom's camera. We played in the lake one day and took my parent's rafts out on the water and we went on the river the other days. Christina, Porter and I went geo caching. My dad took Job fishing and taught him the skills to catch his first fish, which we ate.

Christing and Porter playing in the lake.


Porter loved carrying the oars around and would not put them down, no matter what.


Porter completely dirty, carrying Grandpa's campfire gloves around.


My mom and I were sitting on the chairs talking and Porter walked around to the other side. We could here some noises but were not sure what was going on. He would look at us like this every now and then and continue what he was doing.


We decided to check it out and saw that he had found the water bucket and was loving it.


One night for dinner we made dutch oven pizza. It was so delicious. Definately a camping favorite of mine.


Porter loves phones and while my mom and I were getting dinner ready, Christina and Porter sat looking at her phone.


A sunrise one morning outside our tent.


There were some bad fires on the mountain within the last year and a whole campground got wiped out. This picture was taken from our car when driving by.

His fish. Good Job honey.


Cooked fish.

Porter loved throwing his ball down the hill. Here he is at the bottom of the hill with the ball that he got from a cache.


Porter and Grandpa throwing rocks at the bottom of the hill. He loved throwing rocks, especially in the water.
