Rockwell

If you haven't seen one of these mesh feeders and have a baby, you should get one!! Rockwell loves to eat with it. -ok he does love to eat anytime not just with it! But I love it cause I can fill it full of food and he eats out of it BY HIMSELF!!

On his hands, arms, face, head, hair,eyes....

He has banana all over his face and I love that his bib says - This is what handsome looks like!

Porter Happy Birthday!!

Porter is a TEENAGER! We have two teens now...

Porter got some badly needed things for his birthday. Like a Swimsuit and sandals! Thursday morning he came to me and said," Mom I need a swimsuit." (the school was going swimming that day) so we found him one....when he was getting ready to leave he asked me if I had any sandals he could wear. I told him I had my pink flip flops and he said,"ok" and wore them!! He is so easy going and was fine wearing my flip flops! What a good boy he is! We sure love him.

He did get a colts garbage can and a Lebron James jersey! -I wish he was a Mavs fan!!

Porter and his dad!

I sure love this boy!

Banjo...

This is Aleigha the 4th kid of ours, 2nd daughter....she has a friend named BANJO! Who is this Banjo---well he is her friend of course! She started talking about him in Octoberish and I haven't heard much about him lately, until this week. He is a boy, 5 yrs old (but has a car & can drive), lives in Declo, (he used to live by Gracie, Maylee, & Glade now he lives WITH Maylee.) He is PINK! -Like pinkalious! He came over today and she was in the tub. She said, "Mom wave hi to Banjo" so I did...I kind of just waved at her! She says, "Mom (very matter of fact) he is not right here he is over there"-pointing to the hall. I think it is pretty cute. Not sure what having an imaginary friend means...a really good imagination? Later I was videoing Rock crawling...He crawls on his back! She wanted me to video her. I was asking her some questions and then when she was done she said, " Mom video banjo, ask him some questions" I asked her where he was and she pointed right next to her on the floor. It is the funniest thing ever!

Spring concert

Porter who LOVES to do these concerts...One time he had brought jerky and was eating it while his class was waiting to sing in front of everyone. So most of the concert was like this...Porter behind his music.

Mrs. Hotty & Aleigha

She loves her teacher & dancing!!

One of my favorite dances was the Granny dance. I got a wig from my sister and she looked just like a granny!!

Their Ballet dance her feet are so cute...1st position

The had their dance recital on May 10th. They did 5 dances, with 5 costume changes!!! She was such a sport and came running to change after every dance. She would change and run back to be with her class. I asked her one time if she wanted to go watch one dance and she said, "no I have to go back with my class!" They all were so cute!

Friends

Teresa, Jalyn, & me!! I moved to Hidden Valley 14 yrs ago in March...I met Jalyn that summer and we have been friends ever since. Teresa moved here 10 yrs ago and we have been friends ever since too! I love these gals!

This is there "mad" face!! I was having some difficulty taking a picture with them moving and the lighting...so I told them to do a MAD face! I am so glad that Addie has such good friends. Addie and Jacey can't remember a time when they weren't friends and Kaylia moved here 8 yrs ago (in the 2nd grade.) I truly hope they will continue to be friends for a long time to come!

Addie's Birthday

Easter 2011

Aleigha loved the Easter egg hunt, she was looking for eggs and said, "this is so so so fun!"

Raygn Grandma hid the 3 older Boy's baskets really hard so it took them awhile to find!!

Addie & Porter, they had to find their baskets too. They had a rule that they could only find the eggs that were hard to find!!! -Any egg Addie found she would ask is this hard?

Rock he is such a good baby!! His first Easter!!

The family checking out what they got in their eggs!
