Scottsdale Public Safety Fair

Last weekend I took AnnaBeth to the Scottsdale Public Safety Fair. My main reason for going was because they were having document shredding and I had a paper box full of stuff that desperately needed to be shred into a million tiny pieces. While we were there, we checked out the fire truck, the K-9 (I can't remember his name for the life of me!), the horses, and AnnaBeth did a house fire obstacle course. We only stayed about an hour but all in all, I think she had a good time!

AnnaBeth's 2nd Birthday

AnnaBeth had such a wonderful 2nd birthday!!! She had cinnamon rolls for breakfast, we took her to the park to feed the ducks (although, they were full and had NO interest in the bread whatsoever), and then we had her party. She was so much more involved this year and really seemed to enjoy everyone's company :)

Baby and Belly Pics

A couple of weeks ago, I woke up to get ready for work and was having some bleeding so I had my doctor paged and since I wasn't having any cramping and it didn't appear to be getting worse, she told me call when the office opened and to come in for an ultrasound that day. Kent wasn't able to come with me so I picked my mom up from work and we went to the appointment. It was SOOO amazing to see how much baby had changed in just two weeks! And it was a really neat experience for my mom to see the baby and hear the heartbeat. (S)he even kicked its legs and waved its arms for us! I'm so glad my mom was able to share that experience with me!! Despite the unexplained bleeding, everything looked just fine. Oh and my due date is really October 8th...I guess I misheard the tech at my first ultrasound :)

And here's a couple pictures of my 12 week belly (from 3/26/11)...I'm growing fast and have been in maternity clothes for nearly 2 weeks now!

October is for BIRTHdays....

October is going to become an extra special month for our little Porter family as we welcome another baby!!! We had an ultrasound on Monday, February 21st and so far, all looks well with our little one. I'm due October 9, just 3 days after my birthday :)

I'm 8 weeks today and already looking like I did in my 12 week picture with AnnaBeth :)

Soccer!!

AnnaBeth has been working on kicking a ball and last month I was able to capture a little video of her doing really well at the park across the street from our house.

Snow Day

On January 16, 2011 we took AnnaBeth up to Flagstaff to play in the snow. She was a fairly unhappy camper most of the time. First, because she didn't want gloves on her hands. Second, because then her hands got really cold from touching the snow. Ah, the life of an almost two year old :) Here are some pictures . I have a video but it's not uploading right now for some reason so I'll try again another day.

Christmas 2010

Please forgive me, I am SOO very far behind in keeping with the blog. I'm such a slacker! Christmas was wonderful and we had a fantastic time with both sides of the family. Here's some pictures from our celebrations.
