The wizard of Oz

So Ciera had this idea (insisted actually) that the family all dress up together as Wizard of Oz characters for a Halloween party. We realized she was really serious about 3 hours before the
party and hurried to put some costumes together.

It all turned out pretty well for the amount of time we had to get ready.

Porter might not agree with that in a few years but he's the only one without the verbal skills
to protest.

The funnies part of the evening was when another little girl dressed as Dorothy said "mom look it's another Dorothy.....pause..... mom that's a boy" as she pointed the mom trying to whisper said "no honey it's a girl shhh" girl responded "no mom it's a boy" the mom louder and more embarrassed now "shhh stop it, it's a girl, stop saying that". This probably could have gone on forever because the little girl wasn't giving up so I finally blurted " yeah it's a boy....we needed a Dorothy". and then continued to walk to the refreshment table, leaving a very puzzled
woman behind.

Another Porter parade

Yes, he found Ciera's boots, but I guess he needed boots that were 8 sizes to big so he could have a place for his sword right??

















My cute little bucket head!




















The socks again, like I said it a fashion statement, or something like that.
















What can I say I love this one.... pink boots, a sock on his hand, and a bandanna as a cape. Just another day for the quad riding super hero.













to be continued.......

Just for laughs!

These are for anyone who's ever wanted to sucker punch Josh at one time or another. You could even try to imagine it's you in the black suit!!










Come on twist harder!!!

Do you feel better yet??



















Ahh this was fun, let's do it again sometime!
Josh is such sucker he actually pays money to get beat up a couple time a week......Who wishes they could have that job???












Okay serious now, he really loves kung fu!!

Porter's fashion parade!!!

On a daily basis my little my man has countless costume changes. On occasion I actually think to grab the camera so that I can document precious moments for future blackmail. They are to cute and to funny not to share.


Yes that is a sock on his hand, and thank you Grammy he can now fill his obsession with boot in the right size at least.(I've hidden all the others)











Again with the sock.....it's a fashion statement


















And here we have a US ARMY PIRATE!

Like I said too cute!!! The not cute part is trying to get him to change when we have to go somewhere. I have completely given up on the cowboy boots they go everywhere, even to bed sometimes.

Kung Fu Chick!

Ciera's Promotion

She gets to demo how to kick butt!!!










The Staff Form

















Ciera has moved up to a green belt.

When Ciera was 3 she took on 2 neighbor boys who were giving her trouble, Josh stood by and watched, later saying it was one of his proudest moments to see his daughter send 2 boys running. Well things haven't changed much 7 years later and she's still kickin' butt. It's good to know she can hold her own!

Arrrr it's another party!

Isaac's 5th birthday party

Look at my scary little pirate! Doesn't that face just look so threatening hehe? The kid is lucky he's got that cute face because some days.........
















Already with the girls, Erlyn(on the right) is Isaac "best" friend not "girl" friend. But his teachers always liked to tell me how cute they were always holding hands while they played together.







Really... what can I say, if you give a bunch of little boys swords and bandannas and tell them they're pirates, naturally chopping off heads is what comes next.









He survived!!!

Porter is totally 2!!!

We celebrated with ice cream cookie sandwiches and presents, yum yum.


















He looks pretty serious, I wonder what he was wishing for??












Porter was really excited for presents this year, he ripped right into them. Believe it or not he opened all of his presents with his sunglassed on, he's just that cool!!!
