Happy Easter !!

Here are the boys Saturday afternoon coloring the Easter Eggs. Kade was so scared to get the paint on his shirt that he had to take it off. Of course Benson followed and then Porter had to copy his brothers in the next picture.

I took them up to Roberts City Park for an Easter Egg Hunt but forgot to get pictures. I was pretty afraid that Benson wouldn't have a chance to get any eggs but he held his own and ended up getting more eggs than Kade and Porter.
After we painted the eggs in the coloring Kade decided to pull out the paints and make designs on them. They actually turned out really cute. Porter really got into the egg coloring and loved every minute of it.

Sunday morning the kids woke up and thought the Easter Bunny didn't come. He left them Easter Baskets with some Candy and put special eggs with hints inside for them to find clues and see if he left them anything special.

He hid the eggs outside so Sunday Morning the kids went on an Easter Egg hunt outside. They loved finding the eggs and even a mouse had found one of the eggs and had eaten half-through it.

With all the fun of Easter Egg Hunts and getting candy we really tried to talk to the boys about what the true meaning of Easter is all about. They really seemed amazed at how we revolve the day about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. They still keep asking us questions about how Jesus died and came back to life and since he was Resurrected we will be also.

I am so grateful for my family and the opportunity to be with them forever because of Jesus Christs Example and Sacrifices.

Porters Second Birthday at Blastoff

For Porter's Birthday this year we decided to have it at Blastoff. The weather has been terrible and all the kids are sick of being in the house, thats why we decided to have his pary at blastoff so the kids could run around and play as hard as they want (better there than in my house).

Porter had so much fun playing that is was hard to get him to blow out his candles and open presents. The other kids were willing to help him expecially Benson. He couldn't wait to see what Porter got for his birthday so he could play with eveything.

When it was time to sing Happy Birthday he got all shy and started to burry his head in my chest. He thought the best part was the fire from his candles. I hope we don't have to worry about that when he gets older.

With all the fun going on Porter had a lot of cousins and friends at his party. Here is Joel, Kade and Benson

Here is DreAna playing in the ball pit. Her and Porter are pretty much best cousins. They play so good together. She is about four months older than him. Just enough to boss him around.

Here's Parker and Riley playing in the tubes. He thought it was pretty fun expecially when no one was watching him so he could run up to some kids (that we didn't know) golfing and take there balls and run.

Benson, Tyler and DreAna having more fun...

Porter has gotten so independent. He did not care if anyone was playing with him or around him. He just takes off on his own and plays hard. We have enjoyed him so much. He amazes us everyday with the things he does.

Here are a few:

-he greets everyone with "Hey Baiba"

-He says thankyou and welcome to everything you do for him

- He loves to answer you with "No Way"

-He graduated from a crib to a big boy bed and sleeps awsome

-he is so fasinated with shutting doors but cannot open them yet. Alot of the time he shuts himself in dark closets and just today he shut the door on himself in the storage room. We just follow the cry to let him out.

-He loves to go to work with his dad. Every morning he gets his shoes and his coat and is ready to go.

-Sings the happy birthday song while playing around the house.

-Loves the cartoon Diego and does all the interactions to it.

-Copies me while I am excersising. ( he can do Yoga better than I can).
