Port loves to play in his toy box (literally).

Grandpa and Grandma Partelow came for a visit and we had a lot of fun.  Porter is crazy about them and loved chasing them around trying to get them with his tickle hands.  We even went out to eat at a brewery where Porter munched on some nachos with me.  Thanks for visiting grandparents.

It is official.  Porter is now a toddler riding in a forward-facing car seat.  We have done a lot of getting big this week.  Oh by the way, he loved the new view from the back seat.  

there's nothing like a woodchip to munch on

Oh yeah!  My first Vespa.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for my scooter.  Kinsley helped me learn how to shift gears and I even took my first spill on my new ride.  I was tough and didn't even cry.  I love it.



Porter and Kinsley had so much fun chasing each other around the house.  Just look at their faces... it says it all.  Kinsley even popped out of a box for Porter.  It is great that they are playing together now.  


Thanks Uncles for my gifts.  Zak got me a Louisville Slugger bat with my name engraved on it while he was in Kentucky.  Alex got me a singing Muno from my favorite show.  I love my new gifts.


Grandma Shirley made me some farm animal cakes. yum.

too much birthday for a little guy

Whoops, grass is tricky.


Thanks Grandpa Davey, Grandma Lisa and Great Grandma Rose for the awesome gifts.  I love my drum sticks.  (Thanks Uncle Greg and Aunt Mary-Beth for the inch worm too.  I love it)

My first birthday was GREAT!

Porter really likes Chris' Darth Vadar helmet.  It is the only hat he will put on (go figure).  Chris couldn't be more thrilled.  

Porter and his friends really enjoyed the birthday cake today.  Ty even helped Porter with getting cake in his mouth.  And, of course, Porter managed to get 3 plates in front of him.  Everyone loved the cake decoration and it was pretty yummy too.

Our baby turns 1 on Wednesday and what better way to ring it in than a Yo Gabba Gabba cake.  Chris Photoshopped Porter's face on DJ Lance's body and the store made the cake.  We will celebrate his B-day with the kids at school on Tuesday and we have a personal cake for Porter to eat on his birthday.  We are excited for this day.

I had a wonderful first Mother's Day.  Porter was in a fantastic and spunky mood.  Chris painted a wonderful portrait of Port and I that I love.  Porter even ran around naked to give me a good laugh (how can you not laugh at that).
