First Talk

Vance gave his first talk in primary today. He did a good job. He was only a little nervous and shy.
It's amazing how fast kids grow. He loves, loves Sunbeams! Now if we can get Tanner to love nursery as much as Vance loves Sunbeams and loved nursery... :)

Swimming

Vance has been wanting to go swimming everyday this week so he helped me pick out a pool at the store this morning and him and Tanner played a good chunk of the afternoon it it. Here are some pictures I took.

Our Little Garden

My Mom set me up with this garden on my birthday. Isn't it cute? The great thing about these raised gardens is that you can make them as big as you want or as small as you want so it works perfectly in my little square of dirt that I had in my backyard and a HUGE plus is that I can take it when we move- great for renters! Anyway, all I had to do was buy the seeds and plant away since my parents did all the work for me. :) Tanner thinks it is his job to water the garden. My peas are coming along great! (so are the weeds outside of the box...)

Weekend

I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend. We did. It was Stephen's first vacation day since he got his new job. :) Now it is back to the normal routine. Check out the boys and Jillian in the pool at Grandma Porter's house.

Holly and Jillian

Holly and Jillian are visiting my parents and lucky us, we live not too far away for them to come spend a day with us too! We took the boys and Jilly out for a little stroll this morning.
Might I add that it is much easier to push Tanner and Jillian in the double stroller over Tanner and Vance. What is that? About a 20 pound difference or so...
Yay! We love Holly and Jilly.

Purple Cows

We were having a purple day at our house. I made the boys Purple Cows and they enjoyed them so much I thought I'd share pictures.

Who likes feeling left out?

No one likes to be left out of things, right? This would be Vance not wanting to be left out after we've sent him to bed, camped out at the top of the stairs while Stephen and I were downstairs visiting. He knew we'd send him to bed if we saw or heard him so he just made himself comfortable and fell asleep there.

Last weekend I didn't want to be left out. I had already seen my brother and sister's play, but Holly was in town and my entire family but me went on Friday night to it and so on Saturday I joined them. It was the first time we'd all been at a play together in a long, long time- at least since I've graduated and probably longer. Anyway, I wasn't sure if the opportunity for us all to be together for a play would happen again so off I went. It was a lot of fun. You can see a picture and read a little about it from my Dad's blog here. I didn't have to go to the bathroom even though I look like I do with the way I'm standing in the picture.
