Memorial Day

Mom and Porter went with Grandma and Grandpa C, Gandpa George, and Uncle Eli to take flowers to the cemetaries on Memorial Day. Porter was quite interested in all the flowers.

Memorial Day Camping Trip

Every year we go camping to the same spot- This year we weren't so sure that the weather was going to allow us- We had a friend who was snowmobiling over the same campground less than a month ago. Fortunatly thanks to some nice sunny days the snow had melted- although it was colder and rained more than usual.

Porter loved being outdoors- I think his favorite part was getting to sleep in the big bed in the camper with mom all night- poor dad had to sleep on the couch bed. It was a little hard for him not to be able to be down on the floor crawling around- Grandma J has a bigger camp trailer and had brought a big brand new rug that was clean so when we went to visit their campsite he was able to get some of his wiggles out.

We spent one evening at Uncle Reid's camper (the Hunting Hilton) and watched National Treasure two.

We had one really big surprise at camp- Aunt Tessa and Cousin Karson, his dad had flown out for a job interview and Karson got to come with him (Aunt Chels, Aust, and Kamden stayed home), aunt Tessa met them at the airport and came along too to help watch him.

Porter and Karson played well together- they even (much to my amazement) gave each other a hug without being prompted. Everything was great... At Grandma C's camper that is... when Karsie came to visit Porter at our trailer, Porter suddenly got VERY possessive of his toys- It didn't matter what Karson picked up, Porter had it out of his hands in seconds- hummm we'll have to work on the sharing thing I guess.

Duck Hunting

Porter & Dad were playing in the living room the other day and I heard some quaking noises- I went in to see what was going on and found Dad taking Porter on his first duck hunting trip.

Going, Going, Gone

I just was going through my pictures from our little trip to the condo and found these really cute ones from the car ride.... Yes that is his 'natural' hair-do when mom dosn't try to brush it down.

What Color?

We still can't decide what color Porter's eyes are- Sometimes they look brown, other times they look blue- but mostly they are a dark greyish- Like the pic.

Creepin' and Crawlin'

Goodbye unlocked cupboards,

And things close to the floor.

The uncovered outlets,

and things in lower drawers.

-

Porter's started creeping,

Just a little here and there

But I know any day now,

He'll be crawling everywhere.

-

Move everything up high,

Cause nothings safe down low-

Watch out everybody,

Porter's on the go...
