Oh the places we go

We ventured up to Prescott this past weekend, well Saturday till early Sunday morning. Why you ask? Our little peanut decided she didn't want to sleep Saturday night, and was up at 5:15 am Sunday - so at 6:30 we decided to just come home.

Anyways, my parents cabin is so much fun. They are doing a bunch of construction, which is almost done. We went up to help them unpack some furniture and to get some things organized. The boys, meaning my dad, Matt and twinny (Garrett) did ALOT of moving and unpacking - so did my mom! What did I do - let's take a look:

I took crazy pictures with Makenzie -

I walked up the stairs about 15 times

My hands sweat -

I walked down the stairs about 15 times -

I watched Kenz play with Uncle Garrett

I watched Kenz climb up a side table -

And somehow made a new little friend, I think this picture is awesome!!

I promise in there while Kenzie was sleeping, I unloaded my mom's car. It went by quick, we did alot of work, but it was very fun. I look forward to many memories up there.

Bath Time

What is it about bath time that kids love? I just love these pictures of sweet little Makenzie Sue. You can't tell me that she is not one of the cutest babies you have ever seen!!! This is how she spends her baths...stacking letters.

Looks like fun huh?

So annoyed...

Really Makenzie Sue! At least I have figured out how to send text messages to your dad via email until my new phone comes in. What a headache!

All in favor say ...

I WOULD LOVE TO HELP YOU FOLD YOUR LAUNDRY!!!!

While SHEEEE is sleeping,

IIII am doing this. When do the roles get to switch?

Prescott

We had a great weekend. We went up to Prescott to hang with the Porter extended family for Nanny's 80th birthday. I have never met Nanny before and alot of the extended family, so it was fun to meet the crew. We went up Friday night and spent the night at Brett's (Matt's cousin) rustic cabin. We are talking no electricity, light and stove on propane people! It was great. It was freezing. It was dirty. The pictures tell it all.

*** Disclaimer - yes, Makenzie is still in her pj's for the morning of playing outside. I thought she would fit the cabin! Truth - only one outfit for Saturday and it needed to stay clean for the party!

Lilly caught a baby lizzard!

Daxton just makes my day!

I think she saw a cheeto on the ground!!

"Wait daddy, I want to go!"

Priceless :)

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE.

"I walked today where Jesus walked..."

This was the theme of our primary activity day. It was awesome. We had the kids dress up as if they were in Jesus' time. We had four different stories.

The kids first walked in to a huge pop-up-tent. We had footsteps cut out all over the church building showing the way. The first place was to the Sermon on the Mount. Next stop the Temple. After that, Jesus among the Nephites. Then we all ended up near the water where Jesus fed the 5,000. We had rolls and sweedish fish for a snack.

We asked 4 members of our ward to act like they were there with Jesus. It was phenominal the way they each differently portrayed their parts using the scriptures. The spirit was so strong. I got teary eyed as we were opening singing the song, "I Know my Savoior Loves Me." The kids were asking questions and giving insight too. I think they really enjoyed it as much as I did.

What a day and what an experience.

Easter T-Town Style

The Porter Crew had a great Easter weekend. No school on Friday, lots of shopping, spending saturday at Great Grandma's helping her clean up the house, and Sunday a trip down to Tucson and General Conference. Great! We woke up Sunday morning, packed up the Cruiser and took off. Makenzie handled the trip only because she got to watch Mama Mia the whole way down.

We spend the day at Chris and Aubry's house. All Wilkes' minus Adam and associates (hope you guys had a great Easter too). It all started off when my mom had my dad go through his tie collection - yep collection. He got a new tie rack that holds 64 ties. He picked his favorite 59, and was giving the rest away. I am not kidding you all, there were at least another 60 ties to choose from! I guess when you wear a tie 6 days a week, you need a lot to choose from! I love my dad.

Then, we played around outside in the gorgeous weather until we ate then had the Easter egg hunt. Not going to lie when I was a little sad that Makenzie wasn't more into it. She found her one egg with candy and just wanted to sit down and eat that candy. She is too cute.

I am ony lucky girl!!
