Blessing Day

Sadie Lee Porter was blessed at my parents house while we were in Arizona this summer.

Isn't her dress gorgeous! It was made by her Grandma Porter. I love the little booties!

It was so fun to have most of our family there to share this special time with us.
Even my grandparents got to be there.
Who's crazy kids are these anyway?!


Four generations!

She truly is our little angel. We are so happy to have her in our family!

Friends Forever

Our friends Josh and Juliana Smith and their boys McKay and Kaden came to visit on Sadie's blessing day. We miss our
San Francisco friends so much.
The visit wouldn't be complete without a tickle war right in the middle of everyone. Silly boys!

Happy Birthday Merik

He is officially 5 years old! Merik's birthday was Friday but the party was Saturday. Try explaining that one to a 5 year old. I think it's pretty clear what this boys likes. He got either Power Rangers or water guns from his parents, grandparents and friends!

Here are a few highlights of the weekend.

Friday we went swimming all morning with friends and again when Dad came home.
Merik's party was so much fun. We just had 4 friends which was perfect for this age.
First the Dino Rangers had an egg hunt and then hatched the baby dinosaurs.
Next was a Power Ranger training course which consisted of jumping through sprinklers, sliding in the pool, and shooting the monsters.Then they had to finish off the monsters with water balloons.
Here are me and Sadie enjoying the party!
Merik waited all year for the pinata. He wasn't very efficient gathering candy because he was to excited to eat everything. Jaden filled his bag with only suckers!
At Merik's request we had brownies and ice cream. Yum!
After opening presents they headed back out for more water fun.
These pictures were taken about two seconds apart.
Merik was priming the pump and Jaden was holding a mouth full of water...
Ready...aim...FIRE!

Thanks for a special day!
