100 Things for 2010

A couple of years ago I made a list of 100 things to do in 30 days. Of course I didn't complete my list, but it gave me something to fill my empty time with and to make the summer go faster. It was also my list that I thought of for myself to do. I decided to do it again. I actually made this list shortly after Porter was born, but because of life happenings, I lost the paper and life got busy. I recently found it and so I am starting all over. I am now doing my 100 things for the year of 2010. I will take pictures of the ones I can and post when I do it so that all of you can enjoy my list with me. I encourage all of you to make a list for yourself, whether it is just one thing or 100 things it is up to you.

Porter's Friends

Porter met some new friends in 2009. I guess he was just destined to meet them because their parents are our friends. The funny thing is, they are all cute older women.

This is Porter and Jill. They were in an older post also. Jill is the daughter of Job's best friend growing up. They live in Ohio.

Here is Porter and Zuki. Zuki is the daughter of one of Job's mission companions. They live in Idaho.

This is Porter and Bella. Bella is the daughter of some friends of ours from Cedar City.

If I missed some new friends, i apologize. These were the pictures I could find.

Porter Playing

Porter likes to play with all sorts of things. He is getting so big now; he pulls himself up and scoots everywhere (getting ready to crawl). The first two pictures are of Porter and his box of toys. You lay the box on its side and then Porter crawls in and throws everything inside. One night I stuck him inside of the box to see what he would do. He just and played with the box and his toys.


Here he is playing with a shelf box. He loves boxes. I guess he guess he got that trait from his mommy because all I wanted for my 10th birthday was a big box.

Here he is crawling under his saucer and under the chair by the computer. He likes going under things, the only problem, he can go under but he can't get back out.

Christmas in Manteca

The whole family were able to be together for about a day and a half. We decided to take some family pictures while we were together because it seems we won't get back together for a couple of years. Here are the grandparents and their grandkids.
Christmas morning. We tried so hard to have everyone awake for presents but Porter and his cousin Brooklyn decided to fall asleep right before. It was okay though because the older grandkids were awake and happy.
We got together with some friends and Grandpa Dahle surprised us with a clown. It was so cute to watch the kids interact with her.

Cute pictures of all the grandkids.
