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.

What is that you're saying?

I had almost forgotten about this video that I took on December 7th. AnnaBeth was in the bath and was repeating some phrase something fierce. I can't tell if she's saying she missed me or if she's wanting to go to the store or if it's something entirely different. And her screeching is her way of mimicking Rufus' meowing.

Orlando/PRI show

Late last week, Kent and I went to Orlando for a performance race trade show convention. AnnaBeth stayed with his parents while we were away. It was my first time leaving her overnight and I did tons better than I expected to! I didn't realize how important the need for alone time was until this trip. There wasn't anything super spectacular about Florida but it was certainly nice to get away. One of my favorite parts of the trip was seeing the new Narnia movie in 3D. It was totally amazing!! Anyway, here are the pictures from our little trip. And here's a little video of one of the rooms in the Ripley's Museum. It was tilted all funny and was REALLY hard to walk in there.  I was constantly stumbling while trying to make my way across and out of the room.

Christmas Pictures

Laura was kind enough to snap some pictures for our Christmas card at Freestone park a few weeks ago. The weather was perfect and the pictures turned out so nice!! We brought lots of bread for the ducks to keep AnnaBeth occupied for the pictures since we knew she wouldn't sit and pose and I'm glad she didn't want to because we got some really good pictures this way! Enjoy the pictures!
