Kade, Ben and Porter

Kade, Ben and Porter. I actually got them together, they sure are handsome boys. We sure love these kids.
I can't believe he is 9 years old. I look at him and am so amazed at how much he has grown up. He loves to draw and write stories but also loves the outdoors. He is kind of at a hard age because he always wants to be entertained. He is so good with his brothers and teaches them so much. But he also likes his alone time. He will lock himself in his room to try and get some quite time. He gets along with everyone and is so friendly. Kade, mom and dad love you and are so grateful you are our son.

Ben is our dramatic one. Things seem more of a big deal to him then it does the other kids. He is so caring and kind and will just let his two brothers beat up on him. He loves to do anything that involves the outdoors. He would rather be with his dad working then playing. There is never a dull moment when Benson is around and we love his personality. Ben, we love you and are so proud of you.

Porter, he loves being with mom and is always concerend where she is at. He loves to play the wii and can beat everyone in our family. He also loves the outdoors and can pretty much do anything he wants. He has been our quite one who observes everything and when you think he can't do something he always suprises us. He is so smart and so funny. He is always making us laugh. Porter you add so much to our family and are so grateful for you.

Kade Moments!!

So this isn't the best picture of Kade, but I had to put in this picture of him at the space derby. He was so excited to build this rocket. He painted it all by himself and was so excited when it did so well against all the other rockets. The next week we ended up building a science project. He decided he wanted to build a wooden Generator. We put magnets in a wooden box with copper wire wrapped all around then two light bulbs on the box and as you spin the magnets the bulbs light up. He didn't win but when he wrote his essay on it he took first place out of his class.

He is such a cheeseball.

He was out riding the 4 wheeler with Joel and they discoverd spinnng cookies. I was pretty nervous watching them. Its crazy how brave they are at such a young age.

Kade and Joel taking a break to wipe the dirt from there eyes.

At the fair this year Kade really wanted to ride the bucking bull.

I love this kid..

Benson Moments!

The first snow we had, the boys thought it would be so fun to try and make an igloo. I kept telling them they need more snow. But whatever kept them busy. Benson's absolute favorite thing to do is go shooting. Jordan took the boys rabbit hunting alot this winter. Benson came home so proud that he came home and shot this rabbit all by himself. Benson was so excited to be a solider for halloween. This is the field trip he took when he was in kindergarden, they went to the Roberts Library and Roberts fire station.

We put Benson on Kades flag football team this year. It was just to much driving for me having them on different teams. They seemed to have fun. All cousins Staton, Wylee, Benson, Kade, Branson and Joel.

Love this picture of Kade and Ben.

He is always finding something to keep him busy,

He played soccer last spring and I never posted any pictures. It was alot of running but he enjoyed being outside after the long winter.

Porter Moments!!

The little ham! always wanting me to take his picture and look at him. Grandpa Dave had a full knee replacement and when we went to visit him in the hospital Porter wanted to hang out in his bed.. This picture reminded me of some of Jordans baby pictures. Everyone says Porter looks the most like Jordan. He was batman for Halloween and wore his costume everywhere.

Porter's Preschool teachers sometimes likes to paint the kids faces depending on which letter they are working on that week. Of course Porter would not let them paint his face so he ended up with a cat on his hand.

When I took him to the dentist I figured he would freak out but he absolutely loved the attention. And the fact that their is a train that circles the office.

He had to ride the mini size tractors at the pumpkin patch.

A rare look at Porter. He only falls asleep if he is completely exhausted and it takes alot.

Other sleeping moments

Loved the fact that he curled up with his blanket on the couch.

Best Friends!!

Kade and Joel have been best friends since they were babies. They have grown up together and pretty much do everything together. It was a sad day for everyone when they had to move to Washington. We will sure miss these guys.. Benson and Vanessa Porter and Tyler, we will always rememer the fun times together and can't wait for more when you visit. Love you guys...

School has offically Started!!

It seems like our summer just flew by, maybe because we didn't have the perfect weather. The kids seemed excited to start though. Here is the first day of school Benson, Alexa, Brynlee and Kade.
I seriously can't believe that Kade is in 3rd grade. Mrs. Nakaya is his new teacher.

Benson is now starting 1st grade and will have to adjust to going to school all day everyday. He is in Mrs. Surerus' class.

Last but not least Porter Started Preschool and will be going 2 days a week. Here is a picture of him and DreAna ready for there first day of school ever. Everyone is always asking me if they are twins.

Finally they made it to there school. Mrs. Jana and Mrs. Joan are the best preschool teachers. I highly recommed them. All my kids have attended there preschool and everyone loved it and learned so much. Now my only problem is I have some free tme which I have never had.

Rigby Lake!

So these pictures are backwards but oh-well. We spent a lot of time at rigby lake this summer. They have really improved it and the kids loved it. Kade was dumping sand down Ports shirt and DreAna and Tyler really thought that was so funny. So everyone took turns.
Look at all that sand. He sure needed a bath when we got home.
