~This Weekend~

This weekend, we went to the pool again! Both days, of course. Today, Sunday, it rained quite a bit while we were over there. After about an hour or so, it lightened up and the sun came back out. Porter met some new friends at the pool. He had a lot of fun.

Will and I really enjoy spending time out in the sun. I am not looking forward to the cold weather.

There are two pools at our apartment complex, and the one we like the most, closes after Labor Day weekend.

So that was pretty much our weekend. We watched some movies, and I made my 'awesome' tacos. The boys both love them. I'd have to say, I probably love them the most. I could eat them everyday.

Well, this work week should be interesting... one of my co-workers is leaving and I have to learn some new stuff to help compensate our 'team' when he leaves. His last day is Friday. I am looking forward to furthering my knowledge of the title/escrow business. So, I'll keep everyone informed....

Oh, Porter!....

Oooohhhhh Boy!!!! I think dressing up like girls must run in the family! I picked Porter up from pre-school today and when we got home, I went in the bedroom to change out of my work clothes. All the sudden, I hear giggling so, I turned around...
Between Porter and Cole, we'll have some pretty embarrassing pictures to torture them with when they are older! Porter was laughing pretty hard about it (he gets a kick out of himself.) So, I made him pose for me.... (I get a kick out of myself too.) ha ha

Anyway, not too much to report on, we'll probably go to the pool tomorrow.. and Sunday...

Our weekend at the cabin

Will and I went up to the cabin this last weekend. (This is a picture of the view from the porch on Saturday evening.) The drive to Bear Lake usually takes around 2 and a half hours. Not this time! It took us 4 and a half hours to get there!!! Rediculous. We left the apartment around 6 on Friday night, figuring we'd get up there around 8:30. The freeway had a major accident right around the Layton area. We were on the freeway creeping along for about 2 hours. I thought I was going to go crazy. After we finally got out of that mess, it started raining and rained pretty much for the rest of the drive to the cabin. We got up there about 10.

Will's cousin and his wife (Max & Chelsea) are expecting there first baby in October and the family threw them a baby shower on Saturday. It was for couples, so Will came with me. We drove back down to Logan on Saturday afternoon, around 2:30, the shower was at 4. We stayed for a little while and then drove back up to the cabin. They have some pretty good little hamburger joints up there, so we wanted to stop and get some food. Well, that was a bad idea, needless to say.. We ended up pretty sick. I don't know exactly what it was from, but think it was food poisoning. Or the food just didn't agree with us or something... We spent Sunday being bums, and left for home around 6.

It was pretty chilly outside on Saturday night. We were just relaxing on the porch and cuddled up in blankets. It was really nice. I am really glad that we got the opportunity to get away for a weekend with no one around. It was so peaceful and relaxing.

On Saturday night around midnight or so, it started storming again, and Will woke up to try and take some pictures of the lightning. It was such a sight! Being that close to all the lightning was really cool! Will was only able to get one picture of it, but it turned out really well. It was so neat. I wish that we could have captured more pictures of the lightning. . .

This was a picture from the drive home. What a pretty lake. So blue.

Well, I guess it's time to go. I'll post more later...

Buca Di Bepo!

Yay for Buca Di Bepo! I love Italian food! It's delicious! Kale and Brittany invited us to go to dinner because they had a $50 gift card to use. Mom came too. Ev was working, so he couldn't come, dang it. Anyway, we ordered a large spaghetti, a small fettucini alfredo, and some eggplant stuff (bluh), I didnt have any of the eggplant. We had sooo much leftovers! Will and I ended up with two leftover boxes of spaghetti.

<--- Mmm, Mmm

We had a fun time!

Will never wants to smile in a picture,

always has to be the goof-ball..

I wanted to take a picture of Porter and I earlier, so as I took this picture, Po moved his head and this is what we got.. I told him we had to take one more...


Well, I guess that's really all I have to say....

The cabin..etcetera, etcetera...

Last weekend we went to the pool... both Saturday and Sunday... (of course.) We really enjoy going. I didn't take the camera this time though. Will and I are going to take a trip to Bear Lake this weekend. We'll probably leave Friday after work. I am excited to go stay at the cabin, it will be nice to have a weekend to ourselves. I love the peace and quiet.. and the atmosphere... and the view! Last summer we spent a lot of time there. Almost every weekend during the summer until Will's parents left. We wanted to go up during the winter, and attempted to this past January, but discovered that the locks had been changed and we didn't have the new key!! Dang it! We got a new one now though... I would really like to stay up there when there's snow on the ground.Speaking of snow... I was just going through some pictures (looking for the ones of the cabin) and found ones from Christmas 2006. We went out to Kale and Britt's house for breakfast Christmas morning and we went to my Mom's so Porter could see the doggies. They love him! And needless to say, he loves them. He says they are 'his dogs, they just stay at grandma's house' . haha


I love my weiner dogs! They are the best dogs ever! I can't wait till Will and I get one to have at our place. My mom won't let me take Eddie (he's mine but he's deaf and partially blind) not only that, I would feel terrible taking him away from the other dogs. They are like his eyes and ears. Anyway, the others names are C.J., Tug, and Mollie. Kale and Britt have one as well, and his name is Charlie. Eddie and Charlie are brothers. Kale and I got them at the same time. Although Eddie has those disabilities, he is really a very good dog. (My Mom calls him 'special Ed') haha

<-- This one is Eddie, trying to get Momma's (my) attention..




And this one is Charlie -->



LOL! hahaha ~I just found this other picture from a party my cousins and I had the day after Thanksgiving '06. We had all the cousins pose together and we took a bunch of pictures.. This one is my favorite! It makes me laugh every time I see it. We had sooo much fun! And these pictures are priceless entertainment!!
Ok, Ok, enough reminiscing for now... I'll put some more favorites on later...

~Bees Game~

Stewart Title invited some (not sure how many) title companies in Utah to attend a Bees game and a picnic before hand, at the ballpark. We had a lot of fun. The ballpark had a theme of 'child safety' last night, and Porter made out like a bandit! He got a free bike helmet, a Bees backpack, and a bunch of other little stuff. The helmet is actually a really nice one! We were glad he was able to get all the prizes that he did, it was a lot of fun for him.

A girl, named Katy, that I work with was there with her family, and her daughter Beau just loved Po. It was so cute. Porter wants to be a big brother so bad. He asks Will and I all the time, "When are you gonna have a baby? I want a baby sister!" He just wants someone to take care of. (No comment...) LOL

Porter was also excited because one of the players on the Bees has the last name of Porter! So, everytime he got up to bat, Po would yell and scream for him. It was so funny.

Anyway, we are cooking steaks for dinner tonight! Yummy! We invited my Mom up to have dinner with us. Gotta get the steaks ready...

Porter decided to cut his own hair !!

Yeah... that's right.. Porter decided last Saturday to cut his own hair! He was with his Mom Saturday morning and decided to take the scissors and chop all his bangs off. She dropped him off with us around noon, and there was no way to fix it, so we shaved off all his hair!! I don't think he has had short hair since he was about 2! And guess what?! He loves it! He spent about 2 hours in the bathroom later that day, after we went to the pool, just messin' with his new hair.

When we were at the pool, Will was throwin' Po up in the air, and I was taking pictures. We were actually able to get quite a few really cool ones! We had a lot of fun!

Kale and Brittany had a housewarming party on Saturday night, we had a lot of fun. Po was with us, so Will stayed home with him. My Mom, Ev, and Nina came up too.
