Porter's Fourth Birthday Party

9:57:00 PM

This little guy is Four....Well he has been four for a while now but we had to delay his party due some poor planning by Mommy.

I tried my hardest not to Pinterest out this party. We had simple snacks and food. I didn't even match the napkins and plates. (Those of you who know me, know this is difficult.)

We rented this pirate ship online.

Roasted s'mores on this unusually hot September evening.

Enjoyed everyone's company. All in all it was a pretty great evening!

Aldi

Fall Munch Mix

6:31:00 PM

Recently at work someone brought this pretty amazing salty and sweet treat! I found the recipe online and went to Aldi. Here are the items I used:

Chocolate M&Ms

Peanut M&Ms

Candy corn

Goldfish

Puppy chow

Pretzel sticks

Honey Wheat cereal

(I actually did not use the cheese it's. The corn squares made our puppy chow.)

Here is how it turned out!

Phases of PD- Chiefs Training Camp

7:53:00 PM

My mom is a Kansas City Chiefs season ticket holder and she was excited to purchase a ticket for Porter to hold a Chiefs player helmet at training camp.

I was a little nervous that he would be shy, but it looks like he had a pretty good time.

Hope and Porter share a Birthday so they both got to go.

Autographs from the day! Thanks GiGi

Four years later I can still remember the moment I became a mom. I remember the night Porter was born as I watched the nurses give him a bath and I thought I have no idea what I am doing. Here we are now and it has been a pretty great four years.

Porter is very shy at first but once you get to know him he will run around crazy to get your attention. In a large group he does not like to be forced to "perform." Unless it has to do with sports.

Porter has an small obsession with baseball, soccer...well I guess all sports. As we watch the KC Royals play Porter has to do whatever Salvy does. If he is catching then Porter has to wear his catchers gear. If Salvy is hitting then he has a bat in his hand. He is a big fan of dress up his favorite outfit at the time is a storm trooper costume.

When Porter grows up he wants to be an astronaut. He tells me that him, Daddy, and Grandpa are going to the moon one day. He loves watching movies with a space theme.

Summer (June/July) 2016

7:11:00 AM

This summer was pretty amazing! It's been nice to have two toddlers who can interact and play with eachother. I tried to make it through the alphabet on table time but we were so busy everyday we only made it through the letter J. I still think he learned a few things.
