I need to take a breather

It feels like we haven't stopped going here and going there for the past two weeks...and now it is nice to know we have at least a couple of days that can be spent doing pretty much nothing, until this weekend when PORTER TURNS 2!!! Easter was lots of fun this year and Porter was a lot more into the Easter egg hunt than he was last year.








The Easter Bunny thought it'd be a good idea to give Porter a rabbit. His name is Chewy and he is such a funny little guy...or girl we're really not sure but since we have two girl dogs we figured we'd decide his gender... an animal can't have an identity crisis can they? He loves to follow people around and is getting very good at running away from both Porter and the dogs.

It only gets better with age

Porter is getting so big he is 23 months old and will turn 2 on May 3. Each day is a guessing game as to what he will do next. After his shower the other night I hurried and ran a brush through his hair with out really looking at it, after it had dried we could not get over how funny he looked, once me and Sean were laughing he was as well...though he had no idea why I'm sure. Can you say "Alrighty then!!!"....He was blessed with Sean's curly hair which usually looks so freaking cute.


He also loves to hide everything in the oddest places. Sean babysat the other night and Porter decided to hide his Hot Wheels along with himself underneath the kitchen rug.

I'd still claim him if he had to wear glasses, especially one like these...he's a cutie!!!

Sean tied up Porter and out of nowhere he started saying "Help" this is honestly one of my favorite things he says only because the way he says it is soo sweet, his little raspy voice. P.S. Don't mind Sean's scary scream at the end...I have no idea!!!

I have been meaning to post this...Dena this is for you so you can see how awesome your little brother is... :)

Do kids really say the darndest things?...

It is official I need to get back to the gym or running...whatever I can do to make this never happen again. The other day at school I was helping the students with their work when this sweet little girl named Kylee asked me..."Mrs.Reay are you having a baby?" I replied by saying "No, why does it look like I am?" she then said "It looks like it from your shirt that you have on." I of course couldn't help but laugh I love working with kids, they are soo innocent and so blunt!!! Soo my lesson learned for the day from a first grader was it is time to get my butt moving!!! Yes we would like another baby but, right now just is not a good time at all so until then I'll continue to look like I'm pregnant till the real thing happens...I guess.

Remember when...

Lately I have been using Porter's Jonny Jumper for whenever I babysit Jake and Dan's baby girl Zyanne. I remember when Porter was soo content whenever he was in this I swear to it I could get anything and everything done that I needed to when he was a baby because he enjoyed it so much. The other day he was trying to pull Zyanne out of it so he could take a turn. I thought he was going to be too big for it but the little twirp still fits in it, he just looks funny.



Also....remember Highschool and all of the joys that come along with it :) Sean's little brother Weston is a senior this year he was a D'male at the basketball game last week. Being in that gym brought back so many fond memories of mine. Although...have any of you Devils been back since you graduated? Do you remember the gym being that small?

They definatley are brothers

Porter loved the game he was cheering the whole time so I guess we'll have to take him to more.

Sean's dream has come true

I think Sean has a lot of days lately where he feels like his biggest dreams have come true with Porter. They are soo awesome together and although I hate to admit it he is turning into a bit of a daddy's boy. When he was younger I knew all of the tricks but with out fail the minute that daddy walks through that door Porter clings to him.

This is what I mean when I say Sean's dreams have come true, if you know Sean then you'd know he is somewhat of a dork when it comes to Star Wars and Superheroes. He's got me into some of the movies but you'll never catch me reading a comic book! I have a feeling that Porter too will enjoy these things and it is starting now. They both came upstairs from the basement to show me their light saber skills...is that even how you say it?....sometimes I say light saver and now I just get confused what one is right.
