Aubrey, Garden, and Ensign Peak

On Friday night, we got to watch Aubrey open her mission call.  She is going to San Antonio Texas and speaking Spanish!  We are so excited for her and she will make a phenomenal missionary!  I wonder what will be happening in Aubrey's life when Porter opens his mission call.  I love that Porter has these older cousins to be such good examples to him!

Our garden has been planted!  It's always a pretty exciting thing!  We look forward to watching it grow and hopefully eating lots of good food!

We bought a hydrangea for the pot at our front door too!

Here is our little garden helper!  He has seemed to make a complete turnaround since yesterday!

 

 Last evening, we had planned to go on a quick trek prep hike with our trek kids.  Only one showed up, but we had a great time!  We went downtown to Ensign Peak, and then took the one youth who came out to dinner at Charlie Chow's.  It was a fun evening!

 

 

 

 

We are so grateful for Emilie joining us!

BYU Fan Fest

Thursday night was the BYU Fan Fest here in Lehi.  It was pretty fun, but Porter is still not feeling great.  I should have been a responsible mother and stayed home, but I didn't want to miss this.  James even had meetings and I still went.  Kara and Ryan brought the kids and we had a great time!

Yep, that's Ty Detmer!

It got me really pumped for the upcoming season!  Porter was a trooper too!  Let's go Cougs!

Museum of Natural Curiosity and Sick Buddy

Last Friday, I took a half day, and Porter and I joined Amy and her kids at the Museum of Natural Curiosity.  This was the first time Porter has ever been there.  He was in heaven!  I think he would have played in there for hours and hours.  It was quite relaxing too just to watch him play and not have to entertain him.  He loved being with other kids and it is good for him to learn how to share!

Porter has had a runny nose for just about forever it seems.  He has 4 teeth coming in, so I figured it was all just because he is teething, but he came down with something more.  Poor little guy is pretty miserable.  He still is sleeping pretty well, but he's really clingy and need during the day.

He never ever sits still.  Poor guy!

He never ever falls asleep in the car anymore.

And he never ever falls asleep in our arms or cuddles.

So it wasn't fun to have a sick little guys, but James and I sure loved the snuggles!  Let's hope this bug it on it's way out!
