Big Brother and Little Brother update

As many of you probably know we are going to be having another BOY!!
I am due July 27th and aside from a sinus infection I have been feeling fantastic! Here are a few ultrasound pictures from our apt. I loved this one with his hands in his mouth looking right at us! So cute!!
Here is the proof :)This picture looks just like the one we have of Porter. We laughed so hard, because of his fist right over his nose. Silly little man!
Porter has been doing really well, he loves wrestling and bouncing on whoever is on the floor. He had a Dr. apt, recently and weighted 26 lbs. He is growing fast and is "doing beautifully" according to his Pediatrician. He is saying so many words here are a few;
"Did it!" " Stop It"(he uses this one to yell at the dogs most of the time) "Wee!" "Mom!" "Da!" "Sadie" "Happy" "Jesus Christ" "Mmm Good!" "Hi" "Bye"
He is very good at mimicking what we say.
He loves to give knuckles and pull Grandpa Petersen's finger (for a surprise). He loves to throw balls and food, and loves loves loves going outside. He also loves music and his cowboys boots. He is a very happy boy and seems to bring everyone joy!
Porter enjoying a Super Bowl treat! Yeah go Green Bay!!
Here he is getting ready to go play in the snow, all I had for him were his cowboy boots. He was happy to wear them but they weren't ideal for the snow, oh well.
Porter and Daddy in the snow. I have a great video of Porter going sledding but I haven't figured how to get them on to the blogs yet.Porter loves his dump truck! He has tried and tried to sit in the back and it always dumps him out so he has moved on to a new technique.
Porter loves feeling like a big boy and sitting on the couch with eveyone.
I caught him getting his own snack of fishy crackers the other day and just had to laugh. He was so proud. I also loved the boots!
We had a very fun Valentines day.
Porter loved his little cars, and his stuffed monkey from Daddy.
He also enjoyed a special treat of Strawberry Shortcake for dessert. James surprised me a work by filling my car with a cute Valentines Card and Candy and a beautiful necklace. I work about 30 minutes away from home so my favorite part was the note in the card that read "ps please call so I can get a ride home" my mom had dropped him off at my work. So Sweet!
Porter and I went to the Childrens Museum and had a very fun time. He loved running around and touching everything.
His favorite part was the little table with the play utensils. He was so cute and then...
He just couldn't pretend anymore he had to take a bite!
Anything that looked like a seat his size he tried sitting on, he loves anything his size. I thought this fire truck was really cool, it was a bit to old for him but he humored me by letting me snap a quick picture.
This magnet board was very fun! Like the fridge at home but much bigger! :)
Another one of Porters favorite things is baked beans! He will see them and beg and beg for some. He stuffs his cheeks to the max and wants more.
Here is my latest creation. It's a rainbow cake I made for St. Patrick's Day. It was very fun to make, but unfortunately tasted nasty, so next time I will make some definite changes to the recipe.


Kirstens Birthday is today and this weekend we had a very fun party for her. She had a Kidnapping mystery party and all her friends came dressed.

Here she is blowing out her candles on her mystery cake!

Well thats what we have been up to. James is still working and going to school, and I am still working at the daycare, so I haven't had much time, especially with the computer. I will try and get better at posting.

What we've been up to...

We are alive!! Sorry it has taken me so long to post what has been happening in our lives. We are now in Colorado living with my Parents so James can finish school and get his accounting degree. James is currently working at a Chevy Dealership and I should be starting my job as a school age teacher at a Kinder Care.
Here are some pictures of what we have been up to the last few months.
We celebrated my Dads birthday early since he is in the Marshal Islands.
Happy Birthday Dad!!
Porter we unhappy until....
He was given more cake!!
Dad making his Birthday wish,
James and Ryan we're in charge of cooking his Birthday Dinner. They made dutch oven pork and grilled ribs with grilled pineapple.
Yummy!!
Porter has been getting into everything! He loves anything paper that he can rip up. He has been standing by himself and laughs at his accomplishments. The other day he grabbed his toy hammer and chased my parents 2 small dogs around trying to bop them on the head with the hammer.
Porter found a microphone to a karaoke machine and had a ball talking into it.
We had the opportunity to go to back to back Rockies games. We took Porter to the second one, and he loved the clapping, music and the POPCORN!!
A few days after we arrived in Denver we headed to Sanford. We had a booth at a neighboring towns Glory Days. Larissa came with us and had a fun time playing with our nephews.
Porter loved all the music and food at the celebrations. We had a fun trip, but we had to leave Diego for James parents to take care of while we live with my parents. It was sad to leave him and I know Porter misses crawling all over him.
Here is our moving trailer all ready for us to unload in Denver.
This was moving all our stuff into the trailer. We really appreciate all the friend and family that offered to help us. We couldn't have done it without you all. We had quite the caravan to Denver. We had our 3 cars, my moms van, and my brother in laws truck and trailer that James parents drove out.
My mom and sisters helping pack up the kitchen.
The weekend we moved we also had Diego fixed, he was like a bull in a china cabinet, with all our moving boxes and people.
I have so much more to update, and I will get more pictures on here over the next couple days. Thank you and we love you all.

Look Who's Talking

I was Shocked to say the least when Wednesday Porter started saying Dadada!! I could believe it, he is getting so big. James was able to hear it when he got home that night.
He still can't crawl but he can talk :)

Fathers Day and Family Fun

We enjoyed a really fun Fathers Day. Here is James reading Porters Fathers Day card. It was ridiculous trying to get James out of bed for his Fathers Day breakfast, I know I know I probably should have served him in bed, maybe next year. We had yummy breakfast of french toast and eggs!

Alan made horseshoe golf, or redneck golf (whatever you want to call it) and we went and played it, it is a ton of fun. I was pretty awful but it was still fun.
Alan was by far the best, although James might challenge that statement.
Porter cheered us on while playing on the sidelines.
We went up the canyon later that night and had tinfoil dinners and roasted marshmallows, it was a lot of fun. I love this picture of my two boys!
Uncle Alan feeding the garbage can that Porter has become, he will eat and eat and eat.
Smore, smores please!! It was a long but fun Fathers Day.
Alan spent his Birthday with us, and got the full treatment, candles and singing and picking your birthday dinner. He chose tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Yummy
Alan's Birthday cake
Porter has learned to clap and loves to clap. He spends his day clapping and trying to see who he can get to clap with him.
Porter has been a big support to me through out the World Cup!! He is a huge fan and loves to clap during the games. We were both very upset that the USA team lost.
Ryan and his friend Troy visited for the weekend, obviously we wern't boring at all, they were just very tired.

Sunday we headed down to Brigham City and enjoyed baby Amelia's Baby blessing. Josh and Elise were so cute with their new baby.
Porter and his second cousin Ambree, they had fun making baby noises at each other.
