One Month

Lilia is now one month old!

 

She has gone up a "size" and is (barely) not fitting the newborn sized clothing.

 

She is a much better eater than Porter ever was, which is great.

 

Don't have to worry about Failure to Thrive this time.

 

 

We have tentatively decided her hair color is strawberry blonde.

 

Emphasis on blonde.

 

(My camera makes her look more red)

 

We also think smiles are right around the corner!

 

 

Such a sweetheart.

Mess

A sign of a great night's sleep...

...or a sign that someone needs a haircut.

GQ

New Sunday clothes + a new haircut =

Really, really ridiculously good-looking.

Up

Porter asked me to do his hair this last week.

That never happens.

He specifically asked for it to be "up"...

...and then asked for the same thing for the next three days.

Every day I put it up he would admire himself in the mirror.

I wonder who he gets that from...

Must be Seth. ;)

Buddies

What Porter and I do while Seth studies...

Watch a show online, share earphones and hang out!

My little buddy.

PS: yes, I got a haircut :)...it was starting to look a little like a mullet.

Locks of Love

It was time for a much needed haircut.

When I get tired of my hair, I go drastic.

Sooo, I decided for the first time to donate my hair to Locks of Love!

Here's before:

And, after:

Like I said, drastic!

I love it, though!!

Shortest I've ever gone!

Much Better

After being sick for 3 days, a fever of 103, and many a night's lack of sleep, Porter's face was back to this:

...and I looked an awful lot like this:

PS: notice his sweet new haircut!? :)

Happy Birth/Father's Day

We had a combined holiday yesterday.

Not only did we celebrate Father's Day for this amazing, handsome daddy...

notice: new glasses!!!...plus a great haircut!

...but, we also celebrated the day of this old lady's birth!

Seth and I did a pretty good job of sharing the day.

We had a barbeque with a few friends for Father's Day and afterwards had them over for cake.



We didn't have 24 candles...just 6...so we improvised!

It was a great day!

Last week, I got a surprise in the mail from Seth's mom...for my birthday:

I love it!!

Everyone needs a really nice picture of the temple they got married in, right?

Thanks LaRene!

Now I just need to do some re-decorating :)

New Bed

Porter's a big boy...

...so it's time for a big boy bed!

And, some baby-proofing.

Porter loves his bed.

Or, should I call it a new jungle gym.

Thanks Missy and Eric!

PS: notice the new haircut daddy gave him?

Chop Chop

His is more drastic than mine.

Quick Boise Trip

Our little family met up with...

...my ENTIRE family to celebrate the union of...

...Kelly and Becca!!

This is the first time since Missy's marriage...this is Missy:

*heehee*

...that the whole family has been together! We were all very excited!

Becca, Kelly, and Arika looked so happy and beautiful!

The reception was held at a friend of Becca's...she has a very gorgeous...large...house that was perfect for the occasion.

We were inside the house a lot...it was very hot outside.

The reception was very nice.

Toasts were made...

(...and while people were toasting...



...Porter learned how to take apart, and put back together the champagne glasses.)

And, pictures were taken...

...or were attempted to be taken...




We finally got to meet Rob's and Wendy's new addition, Kaysha, while we were there...

...who looks like she belongs to me. :)

And, I was surprised to find that my sister, Jo, and I were wearing the same dress!



*I bought it first...just wanted to make that clear ;)*

Joanna is actually shorter than me, and I was wearing heels that day...so we had to improvise our situation a bit for the picture:



*Yes, I know how white I am...thank you for not pointing it out haha*

Jo also brought her boyfriend...(yes, boyfriend...she actually calls him that...those of you who are family will understand)



Joanna and Kory...I wouldn't be surprised if the next family reception I go to is theirs :)

After helping clean up a bit, we prepared to leave and go to Missy's place for the night. Porter was exhausted because he hadn't taken a nap that day and after travelling...not sleeping in his own bed...anyway, he was cranky. But, I couldn't leave without a picture of me and Becca!



She moved to Houston after this last weekend was over and who knows when we'll see eachother next...

When we got back in the car, Porter crashed. He fell asleep right after he was buckled and didn't wake up again until the next day when we went to church...at 8:30 am...

After church...

We went to the Martin's (Kelly's parent's place) for a family luncheon.

Porter was still tired, I think...



Isaac had fun throwing bark...

Where did he go?



Porter was very shy...or clingy...whatever you want to call it...most of the trip..I'm sure it was because he was so tired, but Gammie had to try a little bribery to get him to come to her...

It worked!

My mom is so cute.

My dad is so weird...

My brother-in-law is kinda creepy...

My husband is so good-looking...

And, my sister is a cutie, too!

I love my family and all their craziness.

Porter cheered up before we left, and decided he needed to tell me something...







What a cutie!!

Oh, and PS:

I got a haircut while I was there :)

Quite the weekend!!
