Someday I'll figure this stupid blog thing out and be able to do cute layouts. (How about some lessons Kady?) Until then, you'll have to deal with my dumb ones. Disneyland was a blast! The kids loved becoming Jedis and meeting all of the characters. I loved the weather and the no lines for any of the rides. We also loved going at Christmas time. The decorations were beautiful and the Christmas parade and fireworks were so much fun.

We had such a fun time over UEA with the kids. Our highlight was going to Frightmares at Lagoon. The kids had a ball!

Halloween Party

We had a great time at the annual cousins Halloween party this year. I worked so hard on the costumes and thought they turned out great. We even managed to get a few pictures of Tate in his pea pod before he ripped it off.

I just had to post this picture of Porter riding the mechanical bull at the state fair. On the days that he's not a baseball player, he is a cowboy. So when he saw the bull at the fair, he had to try it. He stayed on for the full time!

This was Hannah's dance recital in May. She danced to "Great Balls of Fire". She loves to dance and is pretty good also.

Porter has become quite the baseball player. He hits very well for a five year old. For his birthday, he received just about everything he needs to be a true baseball player (it is also required to love baseball to be in our family). His favorite gift was an original Louisville Slugger bat with his name engraved on it given to him by his Grandma and Grandpa Archibald.

Tate has been such a joy to have in our home. He is such a happy baby and is so much fun to be around. We have thoroughly enjoyed him, but can also say that three kids is quite enough for us!

This is Porter's first day of kindergarten. We have full-day kind. at our school, so it has been an adjustment for us all. Porter loves school and has already made lots of friends. He is an extremely bright child and continues to wow his teacher with his skills.

This is Hannah on her first day of 2nd grade. She loves school and is the social butterfly of her class. In between all of her playing engagements, she does manage to find time to read, play the piano, and dance.
