One day it was particularly nice outside so I went out and played with Porter and I thought he looked extra cute.

I Feed Myself


Porter will only feed himself lately. It seems like a good thing because then we don't have to sit with him the whole time and spoon it in but the problem comes when he eats something like yogurt. He uses a spoon for a little while but he isn't quite coordinated enough to get it in his mouth so he gives up and takes a handful of yogurt and stuffs it in his mouth and all over his face. Although it is quite cute the clean-up process is terrible. We usually end up having it on us because he gets so excited when we take him out of his chair we never can fully control where those hands end up.

My Little Boy


These two pictures for some reason make me laugh like crazy. I am not sure why but I have a hunch that it is because I am his dad. The first shows how kinda in your face he is (if he knows you very well). The second is the face where he thinks "it's kinda funny but I am not going to act impressed." He doesn't even have to do anything and I start laughing mainly because of his manorisms.

Moved

So we havn't updated our blog in ...way to long,(4 months) Sorry we will do better! (I know that I have said this before but I think I might really mean it this time:) Ok so since our last update lots of things have happened!
I guess I should tackle these things one at a time. First Gregg finished his classes at BYU-I, but still has to complete an internship to graduate. He is planning on finding a career job in the supply chain area and counting his first month of work as his internship requirement for graduation.
Secondly we got booted out of our apartment. In August we went to resign our contract, and found out that the managers had signed it over to someone else and gave us two weeks to move! We couldn't find any housing in Rexburg that had an opening before January first, so my loving, kindest, bestest, older sister Angie offered for us to move in with her family in American Fork Utah. So we hit the road, stored our stuff, and we currently inhibit her basement (love ya Ang). Gregg has been looking hard for a job spending hours a day applying anywhere he can, we have been praying hard and we hope something comes up soon.
The other day my nephew Lincoln asked us what a hobo was and I told him it was a homeless person, he replied "Oh so like you and Gregg are Hobos,... and Gregg doesn't have a job".

Porter Walking

Porter started walking last week, and it is so cute! He is getting really fast and in this video he thinks his dad is chasing him.

Hollywood baby!

We tried these sunglasses on Porter, and he proceeded to take them on and off for over half an hour! He is funny that way, he plays with random things for days his latest favorite toy is the Wii nunchuck.

Peachy Porter


We were at a little get together with Erin's family at a waterslide in Raft River and Porter found a peach on the ground that somebody left there. He decided to close his eyes right as I took the picture so he looks even more rough.

Salt Lake City Trip with Jess and Angie


Erin and I went to the capitol building in Utah because the Declaration of Independance was there for two days. It was really cool. The part that wasn't so cool was that we had to wait in line for three hours before we could see it. Lincoln, Ethan, and Brielle just kinda ran around. Porter got tired and fell asleep in my arms. I sat down on the floor of the capitol building and together he and I took a nap. It was akward waking up because we had a bunch of strangers staring at us who were waiting in line. So we quickly caught up to Erin and Angie. The above picture is kinda what the room looked like. It was pretty fun though.
