Porter is walking

Porter has been walking for about 2 weeks now. I have been super busy with alot, but I wanted to tell everyone that my baby is walking! I'll post more later along with a video of the toddler!

Saint George visit

Josh had a job interview on Friday down in Saint George. Jer and Lacie were so sweet and let us stay with them Thursday and Friday night. I loved getting to know Lacie. She is a really cool person. I hope that we get to be better friends as time goes......I'm so glad that we got time to talk.

Josh did great on his interview. They offered him the job!! He couldn't accept though. They wanted to pay us $5.00 less than what we get now. The guy is a new manager and said he would keep Josh's resume if anything changes. We just feel so good about moving there though. We are hoping that something comes up. We know that the Lord will do whatever he needs to for our family to be able to move there if it's right for us.
I loved seeing little Jac. He is such a cute and always happy baby. Probably the cutest nephew I have. It sure was fun!

Auntie Janae

Janae got to come home for the holidays. It was really fun to see her for more than just a short weekend. She's grown up so much and I love the person she is becoming. (Jones, I loved you before too). I'm so proud of the choices that she is making and what she is starting to think is important in life is awesome. I look up to my little sister in alot of ways. We love you Janae!! Also....Happy Birthday (on the 8th). :)

New Picture

We have a new family picture. We just posed real quick, It didn't mean to be so cute....but it is. :)

Christmas time

We had a great Christmas. We stayed home and had our own christmas until around noon. I gave Josh a guitar. He has been wanting one for a long time. He gave me my long awaited coat rack and an expensive gift card for an expensive store. I got great things with it today. :) We gave Porter a whole bunch of toys. He loved opening the presents. His new word is "cool". All day long was full of little Porter saying cool to everything. Every rip. Every toy. It was really fun to see it!

Then we went to my parents house. We gave them a game that we had a BLAST playing! They gave us all books and a really cool family book. My mom had designed her own book, with our wedding pictures. I love the book! I am so glad that my family lives close and that we can spend holiday's with everyone. Dave and Veancha couldn't make it this year. (I totally understand). I really miss each of them. ALOT! Then we went to Christensens house. We played some guitar hero, gave and got some gifts. They gave us a couple of games and Porter got a nice learning book. They really went over board. :) It sure was fun though. Jer and Lacie were able to come up. I loved seeing them! They are such a cute family. Little Jac is sure a cute boy! We didn't get to play much with him. He's trying to stay healthy for his open heart surgery in a month. But I can't wait till we can give him loves. I wish they lived closer. I really enjoy their company. We also celebrated Cody's birthday. He is the big 21! Christmas day really was a fantastic and busy day.

Workin out

So I am posting to remind myself how much I really want to lose weight. I gained alot while I was pregnant (because of the preeclampsia). And now, I think it's all turned into fat....Anyway, Josh finally got a gym membership with me. I had a hard time getting anyone to go with me. (At the same gym anyway). It's so much easier to work out with someone even though we don't talk while we run and sweat! Josh and I went today together. It was great. I worked out harder than normal and feel wonderful. I really want to lose the weight but more importantly I want to be healthy. I just gotta keep telling myself that. :)

Porter turns 1!

It was Porter's birthday on the 5th. I haven't got to posting yet because we have been super sick at our house. We had a really fun party. We just invited family. It was really fun getting ready for the party. We decided on a cowboy theme. We got one of those wall art things (covers like 23 feet of wall, top to bottom) it looked like a desert. I made some western swinging doors out of cardboard. It looked totally cute. Porter loved the cake! It was so cute. Really fun day.
