Rockin' Roxy

With our friend about to have her second baby soon and in pre-term labor, Porter's friend Roxy has been coming over to play a few times. They love to jump on the bed and love sac together and be complete goof balls. Two two year olds can definitely be loud, but super cute.








Of course Annie as well.

Uneventful treasure hunting

Last night I tried to take Porter geo caching. I say try because we were very unsuccessful. Mimi and her kids came as well, which Porter loved.


We had to hike this small hill for one and could see this view.


Te'a trying to help Porter up the hill.


Porter got down and dirty during the process and ended up all dirty. Thanks to his aunt Christina, he will always love treasure hunting even if he does not find anything.

Cindy and Lucy

My dear friend Cindy and her family moved to Pasadena recently. Monday she came to visit with her cute daughter Lucy. Cindy and I have known each other for over 10 years but we have not seen each other for 4 1/2. It was so great catching up. It will be fun to be close again.


Porter and Lucy.


Thanks for playing!

We love the Robinsons

We have the sweetest missionary couple in our ward, the Robinsons. Porter has adopted them as his great grandparents. We have them over for dinner at least once a month and Porter always calls her Grape or Great Grandma Robinson.


Here is Porter with Elder Robinson on Sunday reading books before dinner. They always seem to play catch together when he comes. I wonder why. Sorry about the red eyes.

Utah fun

Last weekend we flew to Utah and spent many early mornings and late nights with lots of family and friends. Friday we went straight to my friend Emma's house, for which the trip was for. Emma and her husband Nate were being sealed together on Saturday. After Emma's we went to see the Seaman family. This picture of Annie in their swing was the only one taken that day.


Saturday morning my sister Lori and I ran a 5k with her husband's boss and his son. Lori, Kurt, Brooklyn and Christina came down to watch the kids while we went to the temple. Here is Max, Brent, Lori and I before the race.

Me finishing the race.


Lori and I after. We are preparing for a half marathon in august. I forgot to factor in the altitude and then there was an unexpected hill, but between the two I think I did pretty good. After the race we went to Kneaders for their yummy French toast.


Emma and I with her daughter Madison after the sealing. It was such a beautiful sealing, especially since Maddie was sealed to them as well.


Job and I with the cute family; Lon, Emma, Maddie, Nate and Isabel.


Later that day we picked up my Grandma Beth and went to Lehi to eat at Porter's Place. Porter Rockwell, a friend and bodyguard to the Prophet Joseph Smith and from which Porter got his name, created a hotel and restaurant and this is suppose to be similar to his I guess.


The whole gang before dinner; Grandma Beth, Job, Porter, Brooklyn, Christina, Kurt, Annie and I.


At dinner.


After dinner Porter and Brooklyn were being super cute on this step by the restaurant.









After dinner we had to get ice cream, especially since we had been talking about it for the few hours prior to dinner. Here is Job and Porter enjoying the yumminess.


Grandma Beth, Christina, Kurt, Lori and Brooklyn.



Two pictures of Grandma with her great grandkids.








We hung out in front of the ice cream place for a while and let the kids enjoy running around. Brooklyn with her funny run.








Kurt and Brooklyn dancing to the outside music.

















Sunday we went to the Oqquirh Mountain Temple and had a picnic. I took a bunch of pictures and tried to get some of the kids with the temple. Enjoy.

































Sunday we went to our good friends, the Seibachs, for dinner and games. A picture of the gang; Rebecca with Andrea on her month, Jacob with Katrina, Jaron, Job, Porter, Annie and I.


Annie and Maddie on Monday. The girls are about 3 weeks apart. We spent part of Monday with Emma and her family before heading back home.


Some pictures from the flight.





Porter had a pretty good set up.





Some cute pictures from the weekend.








Porter and Brooklyn found these buckets and loved playing with them.












And then I found this random picture of Lori and Kurt.
