Just a Little Bit of Fun

We have been finding new things to do lately. I bought a 6 play pass to Seascape with a friend and we took our kids the other week. Lots of fun and totally worth it. We loaded this air thing with balls, except it would not work and so we had to add a little at a time and ....


They all went bonkers ...


And Porter loved it.


I did not believe that Porter was climbing this up,


Only to go down the other side again and again.


He also loved this huge slide as well.


They had these guns that you shoot the balls from.


Annie loved playing with the balls and going down the slide.


One of Porter and Annie's favorite thing to do now is play in boxes. They fight over who can or cannot play in it.


We went to the Irvine Zoo this last week with some friends. Here is Andrew with one of the peacocks. The kids loved them and tried chasing one around in the park.


Just my cute son.


Measuring up to the barn owl.


Combing the goats hair.


Megan, Porter, Annie and Ryan.


Mommy and Annie


We also rode on a train


And Porter rode on Dolly the pony.





I loved listening to Porter tell his daddy all about his day at the zoo and all the fun things he did there. I love taking him out and having him remember everything. Here the kids are reading books before bedtime one night.


Just together


We built a fort under our table one day and the kids ate fishies and read books and played all day under it.

Del Osso Farms

These are way too late but are mostly for Grandpa and Grandma. The kids and I spent a week at my parents in October. We spent an evening at the local pumpkin patch, Del Osso Farms, riding the train and seeing lots of scarecrows.

Just Because

It had been way too long and so I thought I would post some cute pictures from my phone from the last couple months. Porter has been learning I love you in sign language.


Loving the beautiful, not so Utah, weather.


Just because


Porter accidentally dropped his cupcake on the ground and Annie got it. Look at her beautiful eyes.


She banged her mouth like 4 times and a week and got a fat and bloody lip each time. Poor girl. From falling out of the tub to having her brother drop her, she had a fun and eventful week.


Even thou it is a little blurry, I love it.


Porter has been getting better naps lately. Here he is sleeping on the chair.


One night we got home a little late and Job got Porter out of the truck and stood him up in our room. Porter then laid down like this and fell asleep.


In the shopping cart, which he had never done until recently.


My two kids holding hands.


I love these two pictures of my adorable kids.





From our Ward Halloween Party. Coming soon ... Santa pictures. You won't want to miss those.

Mud Run

Two weeks ago I ran a mud run down in San Diego with a friend, Jenny, her brother, John and his wife Jessica. Here are the kids cheering for mommy.


Before


Almost done. I found this floaty after a mud hole.


Last obstacle, a rope swing over a mud hole.


After.


I would totally do it again.

Just because it has been a while (readers digest version)

It has been way too long since I have blogged, so here are a few things that have happened in the last month. The kids and I went on a little day trip which included lots of sandy park playing and a vanilla bean Frappaccino (thanks Kimmy for the idea).





Porter and Mommy went on a date to see Winnie the Pooh, here he is showing off the dancing we did before hand.


Porter has become a HUGE helper in the kitchen. Here he is rolling out the dough for pizza (spinach wheat).


And here he is sampling the dough.


I did a little photo shoot of the kids and learned that Annie smiles best when her brother is around and Porter won't come near her when there is a park around, or when he is outside.












Annie got the Rosiola Virus. Poor thing had a fever of over 102 and then two days later I found spots all over her, which was a Saturday. Sunday people at church were asking why she looked so terrible, which she did. Sunday evening Job and our Home Teacher gave her blessing and by Monday it was gone. What was typically a 4-8 day thing turned into a 2 day thing. I love the power of the Priesthood.
