Mykell's 1st Prayer

The other night I FINALLY got Mykell to say her own prayer. It was so cute I thought I had better share it. She started out "Dear Father, thanks for the Temple..it's a holy place, I am a Sunbeam, thanks for Daddy and Dillon, thanks for Grandma Teri and Grandma Debbie, Jesus Christ Amen!!" Can you tell what songs we sang just before her prayer?? It is so much fun to see how they learn and grow. She is a LITTLE stubborn but at last I heard her first prayer and it was well worth the wait!

Sick Days!!

So this is totally random, but I'm sick. I have been thinking all day back to the "good old days." Remember when your mom would take care of you, make you warm soup, let you lay in front of the TV or in bed all day, and you had nothing to worry about. Now my "sick day" is no different from any other day, except more trips to the bathroom (sorry for the graphics!!). I have tried to get Mykell to watch movies or something with less running around but of course today she has extra amounts of energy!! So here is to the good old days, thanks mom!!!

Leaves!!!

Okay so we were outside playing today and I took some random pictures in the leaves, I know not the best but it was fun. Poor Porter kept sinking into the leaves and trying to eat them, so he did not get to participate for very long!!!

So we just got back from our weekend getaway to St. George and Las Vegas. It started out pretty ruff, we had our car breakdown on the way and on Saturday it spent 6 hours at the mechanic getting the alternator, battery and starter replaced, not a lot of fun!! Saturday was my cousin Brady's wedding the ceremony was so neat, I love the St. George temple it's very pretty. It was an all white wedding. We missed the lunch due to the car, and the reception was beautiful. We got to see my Grandma Soberiay in St. George that was great we haven't seen her since Thanksgiving. On Sunday we drove to Las Vegas, to see as many people as we could fit into a day. We saw my Grandpa Bill, and Grandma Mary and went to lunch with them at Sweet Tomatoes, has anyone else eaten there it was really good!! Then we went to my uncle Danny's house, which is HUGE and beautiful. Then we headed over to the mall (yes I know that it was a Sunday, but what happens in Vegas...!!). We went to the Disney store--which Mykell loved, and got her a Tinkerbell costume for Halloween, and some clothing stores. Mary came with us and that was fun, she got Mykell a cute Tinkerbell doll!! Next we went to see Grandma Sobieray and her husband Don's house. Mykell was a little crazy at their house, sorry Grandma!! She was so excited to see her "Grandma Debbie Sobieray" again. Then we went with them, my uncle Ladd his wife Adriane and my cousin Whitney to the Cheesecake Factory--yummm!! Then we drove up the strip and showed Mykell the lights (hopefully that's all she saw, I don't think it's kid approved we won't be doing that again!!!). Then is was back to St. George. Today we took our time, and made the must needed stop at Cabela's--soo fun??? Finally we made it home with a car that works but empty wallets!!! It was soo fun to see our family, I miss them so much. The kids really were troopers!! Thanks everyone that helped us out, we love you all!! (My picture got out of order the first four are supposed to be the last, I don't have time to fix them!!)

Mykell

Okay so I have posted quite a bit about my little guy Porter, I feeling like I'm leaving out my firecracker Mykell!! She is CRAZY, but so much fun. She keeps me running all the time. The things she comes up with make me laugh so hard. She is a goer, and only stops occasionally to sleep. She can be pretty hard, but soo worth it. She is so social, and fun. She loves everyone she meets. Oh, and I think she is gorgeous, I love her big brown eyes!! Life would be dull without her. I just love her!!!

Blessing Photos

So I got the pictures from Elliot's mom yesterday of Porter's blessing. They are so fun to look at, I love them all. Thanks so much Debbie, they will be great to have for years to come!!! I posted some of my favorites. I want to let all our family know that we were so glad that you all could come to this special day. I love you all and love spending time together.
