Porter's 1st Rodeo

I came across this picture in my files. It is one of my favorites. I'm sure with a little time and photo shop it would look really cool. I love the sharp horizontal lines of the fence with the mountains rising in the back. The mountains almost look painted in. I forget how breathtaking our beautiful Utah mountains are. We were at Baby Animal Days in Logan and they had a small rodeo. Porter had never seen anything like it before and he was fascinated. It would be cool if he had boots and a hat on for the picture, but then that wouldn't really be him.

So I like it the way it is.

Golf Course Field Trip

Today was Porter's first field trip. Caleb and I went along too. The kids learned all about the golf course. They washed balls, putted and took a ride around all 18 holes. Our host, Mr. Chris, was so fun and made sure to lead us, in our carts, over all the big hills and past all the duck ponds on our tour. The weather was absolutely perfect at around 80 degrees with a slight breeze. The boys and moms all had a great time!

First Day of School!

Porter started school today. He was eager with excitement and anticipation. He choose his own outfit (which is usually something he couldn't care less about) and was ready 45 minuted early. He was excited to ride his two-wheeler and Caleb and I followed in the stroller. He is extremely social and I know he will love school. Sometimes I wish we didn't have these little milestones to remind us how fast our little ones are growing *SIGH*.

He posed for this one on his own. What a ham!

Random Friendship Thought...

I was thinking today about friendships and how sometimes when you meet someone, you just click. It's as if you were separated at birth; long lost sisters. Others it takes a little more work, but eventually the friendship takes hold. While others, it seems that no matter how you work at it you just never seem to click. Sure you learn to love everyone, but sometimes after having a conversation with a "non-clicker" I feel a little empty, misunderstood and even lonely... The strange thing is that one of your "non-clickers" could be someone else's long lost sister. Anyway, I don't know if I've articulated my thoughts quite right, but I am so grateful for my many FANTASTIC friends. I am so blessed!
