He Loves the Snow

Like the title of this post states, Evin does love the snow. I'm trying to tell him how awesome Spring will be, but he keeps hoping to wake up to snow. This day Scotty and I were sitting just inside the door as our adventurer was having fun right outside.

I've been collecting funny quotes from Evin, thought you might want to hear some of them...


Upon trying his first hotdog. - (organic mind you) "Evin me want a hotdog, me a guy."

Not sure where he got this from!? My husband doesn't grill in winter, and he's never had a hotdog before this. - "I want a hotdog on the fire, me a man, me Evin."

After falling down trying to walk over something - "Oh shoot, this is not working."

After walking into the kitchen upon waking. - "Me want a banana, I really like this morning time."

Conversation about taking a nap:
Me: Let's take a nap now.
Evin: How bout we watch a movie!
Me: No
Evin: Come on! It'll be fun!

"I'm getting so busy!"

While looking for me in the house. - "Buddy where are you?" (melt)

Tasting turkey for the first time. - "This tastes glorious!" (Where in the world?!  Must be spending too much time with his eloquent Aunt!)

Telling his brother about wearing underwear for the first time. - "Oh man this is great!"

"In the beginning God created trees....and grandma Porter"

Yep, keeps me laughing, and it's only going to get better! I can't wait!!

Happy Snow Day from The Boys

Well we didn't end up getting enough snow around here to get a full snow day, but I'll take a half day if it means hubby can be home longer. Hope you all are staying warm, and those of you who are on your tropical vacation right now, I still like you. However I will be blocking you from fb and Instagram until your trip is over. Just kidding.

Love these hats by Beloved Creations!

Seriously go get some for your babies, kids, or friend's babies and kids!

Happy Monday!

Lately : Fall 2013

As you can see, I'm really behind on the blogging thing. During Spring and Summer you can't really tell if I'm behind because everything looks relatively the same. But there's no denying it when you see bright Fall leaves and Winter snow.
It's been a more quite few weeks at home. We had to fight off some colds but we're thankful to be over that now. I pretty much have cabin fever this week though, which is always a dangerous thing because when I do go out I normally go shopping.

I thought I'd post a few funny things Evin ( or 'Efin' as he calls himself) has done or said recently. At least I think they're funny. Maybe you just had to be there...

His newest word is: 'Hangonwaitaminutesec' (all one word) As he raises his cute little finger and turns as if to go talk to some important clients in the conference room.

Tim was nailing something to the wall the other day and he had to stand on Evin's little chair. This was very alarming to Evin. He came over telling his dad how dangerous it was and that he needed to get down. Once Tim got down Evin couldn't praise him enough saying things like: 'Good job', 'Oh thank you', 'You're a good helper boy'.

He grabbed my hand the other day and said: 'Come on Mrs. Chubby'. Ah! Were did that come from?!

This morning he grabbed his camera and said, 'I need to go to the beach'. Yep, I guess he is my son.

And as I type this he's telling me that he needs to clean the kitchen. Ok, fine with me kid! I blog while you clean the kitchen. Sounds like a good plan to me.

It's pretty much non-stop talking around here. He's talking to me, Tim, 'Gotty', or himself...all the time.
He's my curious little guy. We can tell he's the type that needs to know how things work. Whereas Scotty just wants to be with the people. It's great how you can see so much of their personalities already.

I haven't forgotten about all you who are following our love story. The next part will be coming soon
I also have our Thanksgiving, Tim's 50's birthday party, and a Christmas decorating posts in the works. Make sure to follow by email down at the bottom right of this page if you want to be notified when I post.

Here's a few pictures from what seems like just a few days ago...when it was Fall. He was so excited to go outside he didn't think he had time to get dressed, and ran out in his pjs and sandals. Once he made sure the door was properly locked of course.
