What's Miss Ivy up to these days?

Ivy is really coming into her role as the big sister. She always helps get Porter's car seat ready to go, and occasionally just checks to make sure it's comfy.



She even shares her "babies" with Porter. John won't be too thrilled when he sees this picture!
She can put her shoes on by herself......
....and don't even try to tell her they're on the wrong feet!
But she does have her sweet moments,
And she loves to play with her baby brother!

Private

Well we've finally decided to go private. We're getting something like 75 hits a day, and since I am pretty sure I don't know that many people I'm a little weirded out by who could be looking at pictures of my kids! So anyway, please email me, or leave a comment here with your email address if you are a reader of this blog and would like to be invited to read it in the future. I know this is kind-of a pain, but I think it will be ok. We will probably make the change in a week or so. Thanks y'all!

Porter's blessing, and other exciting events!

I'm pretty slow at posting, but we blessed Porter the first Sunday of this month, and I just wanted to share! It was a really special day for our little guy, and John gave him a great blessing.

I really liked this pic of Porter and John. What cute boys!

My brother Ryan and his family came out for Porter's blessing. These are my cute neices Mya and Liv with Ivy and Porter.


After the blessing we had lunch at the park. This was Ivy's first try at the "big kid" swing with my Dad, and she did pretty good! She sort-of crashed though when it was time to get off. She forgot to wait for help...oops!


We all went to the aquarium and thought it was pretty cool! If you can't tell those are sharks behind Ivy in this picture.
Ivy loved the "shissies", can you tell?



My Mom and Dad also came out, and my Mom even got to stay for the full week. We went shopping, and to the butterfly pavilion (and I forgot my camera, of course). It was such a fun week! Ivy and Porter are crazy about their Nann and Grandpa.

Happy Mothers Day


I hope everyone had a good Mother's Day! I don't think I've ever appreciated my mom as much as I do now, and I'm sure my appreciation for her will continue to grow as my kids get older, and I get to experience first hand all of the things she has done for her family. I hope I can live up to her standards! Hooray for mothers!
