Our silly little Kate, she is our little goof of our family. Pulling silly faces and saying the funniest things. She is so fun I don't know what we would do with out her. She lightens up our day.














Here is a Alivia with Zack Effron at Justine's birthday party. She was so funny, she was shy with his cardboard cut out. Love it....














Boys are so funny how they just know how to be tough! Here is a picture of Porter building shelves with his grandpa. He has a bolt trying to hit it through the wood. He ran around all day wanting to be just like his papa. I love my little guy!

(Little Porter in the ER)
I always thought when your kids started school you would have a little more time. No one ever told me that life gets just ten times as busy. It feels like I am at Livi's school as much as she is. Since she is going to a charter school all parents must volunteer 30 hours. Its really not that much, but its already scaring me how to get them all done by the end of the year. It really is a great thing to have, all parents are so much more involved with their kids school. I think all schools should do it. I love dropping off Alivia. She is so adorable with all her school friends. She talks al ot about her friend Vanessa (the one with a boyfriend and they kiss on the cheek). All she does when she gets home is play school with Kate and Porter. She talks sooo cute to them, you can tell she just loves her teacher.
Kate is a little confused why Liv gets to go while she has to come home with me. I really enjoy the time we have just her and I. We have started a pre-school activity book, she really loves it. Kate and Porter play really good together, no one can make Porter laugh as easy as she can. Her some silly faces she makes he just loves it. Kate is so fun she is really laid back.
Porter is just getting to act so much older. He now can say Bye Bye, Mama, Dadda, Ba Bob (for Sponge Bob) and Uck (for Truck). He will talk forever in baby jabbering (mommy loves). Having a boy is so much fun. They just grow way to fast. We did have to take him to the ER (our first visit for any of our kids), he caught the stomach flu and was throwing up non stop. They gave him medication to stop it and it worked. The very next day Kate and Livi joined in the fun. I was up all night the night before with Porter at the hospital. Now I spent the next one holding two buckets. Parenting can be so exhausting. To top it off it was right at the time JC had to head to Idaho. Yikes!
My poor sweet husband just works and works, his hours are long. We miss him so much. He travels every other week to Idaho. I wish life would give him a break. We appreciated him so much, working so hard to take care of our family. We love you!
We are now heading into the fall and the kids are getting so excited for Halloween. I am ready for a little bit cooler air, and the family holidays coming. I hope that life will calm down now and we can all get settled with life has thrown us. Drama is not always something we want in our life's, but I hope my family knows that I will be there for them. Life is crazy and when things are rough we need the love and support of our family.
