Porter's 5th Birthday Party!

The kids had so much fun on this slide. Porter must have went up and down at least 100 times.

Once again Aunt Saint came through with the cake. It is amazing my kids decide what they want and she makes it. Porter was really excited about this one.

Cousin Ambria looking totally cool.

This was there first time down the slide and Aubrey realized how cold the water was.

Slip-Sliding Away

Happy Birthday Porter!

I went to decorate Porter's room the night before his Birthday at 10:30 thinking he would be sound a sleep. Surprise he wasn't. After waiting another 15 min. I decided to decorate the hall outside his door. I had just completed decorating when he announced he had to go to the bathroom. My surprise was no longer a mystery. This is a sleepy Porter making his way through the streamers.

Porter Apartments!

Over the years Nate has framed up many apartments for other people. This week he completed his first apartment complex for himself. There are 19 units.
We named the apartments after Porter. At first, Porter would say I don't want an apartment. He was afraid that he was going to have to live there. Now that he knows he doesn't have to move in he thinks it is pretty cool.

Finally A Sunny Day!

For the first time this year the kids got to put on their suits and enjoy the sun.

Nobody Likes Me Everybody Hates Me Guess I'll Eat A Worm!

Did he really eat a worm?

Silver Mountain Lodge

Since the weather was in no mood to corroborate and rained the entire long weekend. We decided to go have some indoor fun.


Porter got going a little to fast and ended up on his back.

Porter was determined to go down one of the big slides this time around. Aubrey mostly went because she had no idea what she was getting herself into. This tube ride was fast and mostly dark. When I asked Porter if he was going again he said, "that was awesome, lets go again now." Aubrey on the other hand said, "No."

Where Is Aubrey?

The other morning I went in to wake up Aubrey and all I could see was her hair sticking out of the covers.

Happy Birthday Aubrey!

Since we always do the kids birthday party on a Saturday and it rarely falls on their actual birthday we wanted to make their day special. So this year we decided to decorate Aubrey's room while she was sleeping.
I thought she would love it. But she woke up grumpy and said, "get these out of here, I don't like them."

Aubrey's Third Birthday Party!

Princess Noah and Princess Nate

Aubrey wanted a Little Mermaid Party this year, once again Aunt Saint came through. She did a great job and Aubrey loved her Flounder cake. I am just glad she decided to share.

The kids finally got the swing set they have been waiting for.

Making Bread!

Nate and I went to Spokane for the weekend. When we got home the kids had made us homemade wiener wraps.
