Porter

What can I say about this boy! I was asleep Sat morning and I'm usually up before my kids. But this morning Porter was awake. When I got up I noticed that is face was all read and scratched. I asked Porter what happened to his face and he said he had to shave this morning. Are you kidding me? I will admit, POrter does have a little mustache, but apparantly he didn't like it to much! Instead of shaving up and down, he shaved from left to right. Grrrrrr! Oh well, he wants to be a big boy!

Family pictures

Last Saturday we had family pictures taken. They turned out really well, considering Stela was being a STINKER! Our photographer did a really good job, if anyone needs her info let me know!

My brother graduated!

We went to Thatcher for my brothers graduation. It also happened to be my moms birthday, what a great present, your last kid is graduating! He was the 8th one! Congratulations Jay!

swimming

It was so hot last week. We went and bought the kids a little pool. They love it. Stela would copy everything Porter did. He would go under water and make bubbles and so would she. We really have to watch them around water, they are both fish!

She's 2!!!

Presents!

Grandma Talina made her "curly top" a cake when we went to Pima for the weekend

I can't beleive that my baby is 2! The first year of Stela's life was full of frustrations, the unknown, and doctors! This last year has been a lot better on her and on us. She has grown so much and does so much now. We hope this year continues on the same path! We love you Stela!

We took the kids to a D-backs game a couple of weekends ago. They had a blast with their grandma and cousin Kiana. Rene's mom has been down here watching my kids for the last few weeks while I am in between sitters. Stela's new thing is hats. We bought Porter a new hat at the game so Stela thinks his old one is hers. She loves her brother and copies EVERYTHING he does! I love that they are so close

Miss Independent!

Stela eating her ice cream that she WOULD NOT let me feed her. She is wants to do everything herself! Considering everything she has been through, we aren't complaining!
