Seen and Heard
Heard:
Porter-"Mom, I don't want to hold this!"
Me- "What is it that you don't want to hold?"
Porter with his pointer finger up showing me..."My booger." He was dead serious and I made him get a tissue and throw it a way. So gross!
Heard:
Me- annoyed that it was taking forever to get out of the car..."Porter would you please get out of the car?"
Porter- "Thank you for saying please mom."
Seen and Heard:
Porter was cutting up little pieces of paper and after he had cut them up into micro pieces he came up to Lynn and said, "Dad, would you build me a spaceship with these?"
Seen:
Peyton climbing on the toilet and smiling like he was victorious.
Peyton putting a toy in the toilet and then putting his hand in his mouth before I could move him.
Peyton racing down the hall to try to beat me to the bathroom so that he can play in the toilet.
(It is a struggle everyday. You'd think we'd learn to keep the bathroom door closed.)
Heard:
We were at our friends house and they were packing to move. Larry says, "Hey Porter can we pack you up in that box to take with us when we move?"
Porter-"No, take Peyton."
Porter-"Mom, I don't want to hold this!"
Me- "What is it that you don't want to hold?"

4th of July fun part three...fireworks!
Later on in the day we went to Village Green for a BBQ with some friends from dental school. After the BBQ, we walked down to the elementary school to watch the fireworks that came from Rosenblatt Stadium. We waited and waited, but the fireworks didn't start until 10:30! It was an amazing show and we had a great view. Peyton loved the fireworks and clapped through the whole thing. The traffic was crazy and we didn't get home until 11:50. The kids were tired and slept in until 9:30 today! We had a great day and were very busy, but it was a wonderful way to celebrate our countries independence!
4th of July fun part two....the parade!
After we went to Desoto, we went straight to the 4th of July parade in Ralston, Ne. It was like your normal parade...lots of cars, clowns, floats, and.....STAR WARS. Porter was so excited! He wasn't sure what to think about getting his picture taken with a Storm Trooper, but he did it anyway. Both Porter and Peyton did not like the clowns. Porter hid behind Lynn whenever they came up to us, and Peyton started crying. We ended up with a pocket full of candy and happy kids!
4th of July fun part one...Desoto National Wildlife Reserve!
We started off the day by going for a nice hot run, then we decided that we wanted to get out of the city and go somewhere. We ended up going to Desoto National Wildlife Reserve. It was beautiful, very quite and so peaceful. We drove around and soaked up all of the surroundings. Porter was anxious to have our picnic, so we ate and just relaxed. We all agreed that we needed to come back again soon to go fishing and tour the museum.
PORTER ART AND STARWARS
As everyone knows by now there are couple of things that Porter just loves. Probably his most favorite thing, right now is Starwars. (I say right now because he has shown a trend of going through different phases of what he likes the most. i.e. cars, ninja turtles, and now starwars) He just loves it. The other thing that Porter really likes is drawing/coloring. This is actually something that Porter has always liked. He is getting better at drawing things on his own (he likes to draw pictures of our family) and is really improving with his coloring skills.
He always seems to combine both of these interests and almost daily asking Mom or Dad to draw him some lego starwars figurings so he can color them. By the way Erin has developed into quite the artist. She can whip out a full sheet of lego starwars characters or cars characters, and even ninja turtle characters in about 5 minutes. Porter loves her drawings and often tell me that Mom's are better than yours Dad. As proof of her skills here's a pic:
When porter gets done coloring them he then takes some scissors and cuts out each one individually to play with later. He has a bag clear full of them in his room.
Anyway, one day I decided to sit down and draw him some Galactic Hero star wars picture and this is what happened:
Porter and I had tons of fun coloring it for the next couple of nights together. He is a wonderful colorer.

Sleeping Pics of Porter
The other day Erin and I looked over to see how Porter was doing around his nap time and this is what we saw:
It looks pretty comfy if you ask me. I think I'll try it next time.
The next pic was too cute to pass up. It happened this past week. I was pretty excited to be home early because my afternoon classes are done for the summer. I came in the door and saw Porter and Erin asleep on the couch. At first I thought they were just playing around like they normally do when they here me coming in the door. (Usually they try and play that they are asleep) I tried laughing to wake them up but they didn't budge. They were just too cute, so I took a picture.
Erin didn't want me to post this pic, but I thought it was priceless.
