A Hobbit's Tale

One may ask what in the world the name of this blog means. Let me explain. My dad has called me "Sherwi" (the "r" is sort of silent, hard to explain how to pronounce it)my whole life. I'm not sure where it comes from. Maybe it was the way I said my own name when I was a wee tot. Nonetheless, it has stuck with me my whole life. When Lord of the Rings became popular, my brothers started calling me Sherwi Baggins due to my tall stature. I'm honored to have it as a nickname. Hobbits rock!

Porter's Birthday Party

We celebrated Porter's birthday with all the fam yesterday evening. We love any excuse to spend time with family, so even though Porter won't have any memory of this day, I hope he can look back and pictures and see how many people love him.

You should have see our kitchen when I was making this thing...frosting everywhere! And it was fast Sunday so I couldn't even lick it!

After cake and ice cream, we gave Porter a bath and then he opened a few presents.

S was so helpful showing Porter the ropes!

That morning, James was ordained a high priest and set apart as a the first counselor in our bishopric. Life is sure going to change as we know it, but James will be outstanding in this calling!
I'm accepting applications for anyone who wants to sit with us at church on Sunday's and keep this boy entertained and contained! I'm exhausted just thinking about it! He is a busy one!
