Ollie and his bro

I'm trying to take lots of picture of Oliver and not fall into the second child undocumented sadness. He will have pictures and lots of them, he is just as cute as his big brother.

Joni...Yeah for Joni

Ollie clearly loves his Auntie...full on smiles when she comes into view

Chillin in the shade tent

Doin a dance on the deck

firetime, shooting stars and marshmellows, that is Ians favorite

Ian adores Sean and Anna, I believe the feeling is mutual. When this was taken both Sean and Ian were laughing very hard. Cute!

Sisters!

Anna loves the water and was such a good girl

Siblings...not a photo like this in a long time...too long!

Sisters again! Liking this one!

Joni came to town from Seattle and it was a lovely visit. We spent most of the time at the lake and Joni really bonded with Ollie. We are so glad she came. Leah and the kids came up to the lake which made for a great day at the beach.

Ollies 2 months

What a great baby. We have has so much fun getting to know this little guy. He is so happy and chill. We have taken him all over the place, especially the lake and he is just happy to go. He is smiling tons and talking away. He is packing on the pounds and loving life. Ian is so fun with him, we could not have been more blessed to have this little man come into our lives. ahhhh

The deserted beach, just how I like it

Ian and Olivia making nice...I hope

This weekend we had more moose sightings and this time Mr. Bull walked right on by.
Thanks to Peter, Lisa, Maya, Isaac, Olivia, Ben and Sarah for all the fun. We took more pictures and I accidentally deleted them in all of my brilliantness. We had a great time hanging out at the trailers, at the Beaver Mountain Music Festival and of course the beach. Too bad the season is getting close to the end.

Alana Lange (a friend from work www.alanalangephotography.com) came to our house to take these lovely pictures of the baby and his big brother. They turned out great. Thanks Alana!

Porter Family.....missing Mudder

I really like this one even though it is just a camera check, Susan and Erin make lovely models. You are the best I love you both very much and love that I have been able to see you lots this year.

The Jeff Porters...What can we say here, We are a fine looking bunch and I am so lucky to have you all in my life.

Heres the Chris Porters...we don't get to see enough of any of you. It was so great to have all of you here together. You traveled very far and we are blessed to have you in our family.

The Phil Porters...It has been so great that you live so close and we get to see you often. I know I am the second favorite but deep down I think I know the truth (sorry Jodi)

What a good looking couple. You two seem very happy and I am happy for you.

This was difficult for Ian but he did a great job. Thanks to Andy for the biggest gift of all, my two boys and being the best guy I could have dreamed of! Oh and taking all these sweet pics.

Nanny and Poppa...one can only rave so much, clearly I am a mommy and daddys girl. I cannot imagine a better set of parents, your support and love is immense. You did so much for Mudder and for that I am very grateful.
Thank you for everything.

The Travis Porters....my brother is the best! I am so happy that they visit as much as they do and that we have a great relationship. Julia makes my heart sing, she is so sweet and kind. You and Michele have made a great life and are such great parents and partners. Love to you!

What an incredible woman...I still am in a state of shock. Mudder meant the world to me, we were very close and I will miss her very much. It was nice that the family got to be together to celebrate her life and the wonderful family that she created. We have a great family and I am really proud to be a Porter. Mudder got to meet both of my children which means so much to me. I have such lovely memories of her and I will continue to tell others of her and to remind my children of all the things she taught me. Ian keeps asking where Mudder is and if he can call her. It brings me to tears to hear his little voice say that. Love to all my relatives and especially to my most beautiful Grandmother! She loved us all and we loved her.

Ians 3rd Bday at home

Sean and Andy are two peas

Yeah for Grandmas!

Ian always covers his ears when happy birthday is sung. I think the song is ok but I guess he doesn't

Toy Story cake with all the dye you can imagine

Auntie Leah is the best!

Thanks Grandma, Leah, Sean and Anna for spending the day with us. We love you!
