This, That, and the Other

Here is what we've been up to . . . in no particular order.
Eldon turned 2!!! He weighs in at 28 lbs (I know he's little), loves to be crazy, eats anything and everything, is testing his limits, enjoys recreational screaming (which I hate!), is a great nap taker, mimic his brother, and gives the best hugs and kisses!

This is his rad Race Car cake

This is him after he got caught taking a bite out of the cake before it was time!Him and all his loot!

On his birthday we spent some time in West Valley and my parents put up a ring of fire for smores. We put candles in his before he roasted it and sang to him. He played in the pool with all his Porter cousins and the inflatable T-Rex. And this is his face when he got all the way in for the first time. It cracks me up every time I see it!

My Brother and his family were in town so we spent some time with them.

We went to Dairy Days at Thanksgiving Point and Eldon and I loved the cow ride!
All the Porter Grandkids on the cow. Eldon on the Pony Ride Eldon trying to pet the goats- yes he fit through the fence! Eldon's Birthday Breakfast with Uncle Steve and Aunt Vashti Trip to the zoo- Isaac's first experience on the Carousel- a Turkey . . .very fitting :) The whole Porter clan at the bird show

Here is Isaac he is going to be turning 10 months next week! Crazy how time flies! At nine months he wieghed in at 21 and a half pounds, crawls, climbs stairs, is so happy to wake up after nap time, loves to eat prunes, good natured, loves Kyler, fears Eldon, is an avid thumb sucker and when he gets very sad he sits up cries really hard and then drops his head to the ground and wails! He's great!

Fourth of July! We ate dinner with some friends and then lit fireworks off. Fireworks in Evanston is amazing!! Because it is all around you. I spend most of the time fearing for my and my families life.Eldon and I really loved it this year! Travis liting up the fireworks!July 3rd- Freedom Festival- Both Kyler and Eldon did the Rooster run. Kyler was really close a few times.

We enjoyed the rest of the Rodeo!

And also the carnival

Eldon is definately not our ride taker. All the girls on the ride informed us that he cried the whole time.

The morning of the 3rd- Balloon Launch- we love this tradition! We got eat breakfast out there and everything!

Travis and I of course really had a great time!

Mom and Isaac- yeah don't see any balloons? It was so windy not very many of them were able to stay up. Sad but still oh so fun!

I turned 26! And yes that is my new CRICKET!! And I LOVE IT!!!

My boys treated me to a Princess breakfast, including a Princess Badge that I wore all day because it was my birthday!

And Kyler graduated to the next level of swimming! My little fish!

How was your June and beginning of July?
