OCTOBER 2011

I love October here in St. George. The weather is perfect, and there are so many fun things going on. McKay started soccer and he is doing really well. Carl ended up coaching his little team, and you can tell he loves it and Mac loves it! It is fun watching the games. We have met some really great people through it to! The kids started tumbling, art classes, dancing, soccer, and wrestling. haha I don't know what I was thinking signing them up for all this stuff, but they have loved it all. We had a great Halloween, except for poor Ella had strep throat...so she couldn't go trick or treating. It was really sad...but McKay and some of our neighbor friends made sure she got candy. McKay was a knight, Ella was a mermaid, Porter was a monkey and Carl and I dressed up as old people for our parties! We won funniest couple...all because of Carl's one piece velour jumpsuit! haha It was great!

AUGUST and SEPTEMBER 2011

We are so lucky that we get to live where we do. Our backyard neighbors (our landlords) have a pool and they live in California, so we get to use their pool in the summer. We have been swimming and swimming! Mac and Ella are like little fish! They swim all over without floaties! McKay has been diving and doing flips. He is a rockstar. Ella has gotten really good too!

We went camping on Labor Day with my side of the Family! IT was SOOO much fun! We got to ride 4wheelers, razors, eat yummy food, hang out with family AND celebrate PORTER'S 1ST BIRTHDAY!! I can't believe the little guy is 1!!! Porter is such a sweet little guy. Every where we go people will comment on him and how sweet his face is....especially his eyes. I think it is funny, because I always know what people are going to say..."that baby has the sweetest face, and his eyes are just engaging". He makes us all laugh so much, and is such an easy little boy to be around. He didn't walk until he was 14months old, but as soon as he started walking....he started running. He loves his brother and sister. He LOVES his daddy. He loves reading books, playing with toys...especially babies. He LOVES dirt. The kid loves FOOD. He eats better than any of the other kids. If he eats chicken nuggets....he will eat 4-6 of them! He is an animal! haha I feel sooooo grateful for Porter. He makes everyone happy around him. I love him so much!
McKay and Ella both started preschool this year! I can't believe how fast time is going. They were both excited and couldn't wait to go to school. They are going to Mary's Little Lamb preschool. She is such a great teacher, and only lives 2 houses away from us, so it is very convenient. They both are getting so big.

JULY 2011

July 2011 was a great month! We stayed up north with my parents and Kieth and Hariella almost the whole month! The kids had a blast on the 4th of July! They got to play and play and play! < The Ute Stampede was also fun again this year! The kids love the parade, and I'm not going to lie...so do I! They loved seeing all the animals, and the rodeo.

We also found out some pretty crazy news while we were at my mom's. I was a little late on my period....so I told Carl, "I am just going to take a pregnancy test to put my mind at ease that I am going to start". I told Carl, there is no way I can be pregnant, and if I am.... it is definitely meant to be! Well...I went back to my mom's, took the test...and sure enough...I was pregnant!! It was so wild! I felt overwhelmed. I was so grateful....but overwhelmed. It was nuts!

It Has Been WWWAAAYYY to LONG

Everyday when I sit down at the computer to check my email, look at facebook or check out pinterest....I think to myself...I REALLY need to catch up on my blog...BUT...I never do it! I know I will regret it if I don't do it! Soooo much has happened since I blogged last. I have an ENTIRE YEAR to get caught up, so bare with me! Two 4th of July's, 2 Ute Stampede's , Porter's 1st birthday, camping trips, soccer games, wrestling matches, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Carl's birthday, The BIRTH of our new son...TANNER ROBINSON WRIGHT, Valentine's day, McKay's 5th birthday, Ella's 4th birthday...and so many things in between!
