Just Us!

Lately -with the weather being so cold- seriously - its June- its the middle of June- at some point - I'd like to be able to not wear a sweatshirt every where- and a hat- and boots and gloves- ok - so I finally took off the boots- but I traded them in for another pair of boots- not sandals yet!!

We've just been surviving this cold Idaho Spring-- Porter wants to play outside all the time- and want to curl up in front of the fire and roast-- so we try to do a bit of each persons' preferences!

Porter doesn't mind the wind- I hate the wind--

Porter loves the mud- I could do without it!
Porter loves the Shop and would spend all day in there!!

But that is what is soo great about seeing the world through a toddlers eyes- everything is new and fantastic-

 He has started saying Awesome lately - and it comes out soo funny!

For the longest time- if he wanted picked up- he'd come and say "heavy" - I think that originated from me telling him every time I picked him up- ooh you are heavy- so now that is what that means--

NOw he has transitioned into something more -- he can say more words so he does--

If he wants me to pick him up-- he says "Mamma Getcha"   Its hilarious to hear- Chet thought he was speaking some other language- till I told him what it was--

This I'm sure came from me putting him off- saying-- hold on- Mom will Getcha-- so now-- if you want picked up say it -- "Mamma Getcha" - its too cute and sweet!

Speaking of Sweet- check out the mullet- I've never cut his hair- despite pressure to do so- I just haven't been able to come to terms with it yet- and its soo funny and long-


He can pretty much say all words -- but has yet to say Love-- I ask him all the time- he just says yes- he is pretty particular when it comes to saying stuff- if he can't say it "right"-- he wont' say it- at all- its weird?  Again slightly OCD!

Porter loves his animals- and wants to see Molly and Mitzy - all the time  (the horses) He stands and talks to them- its hilarious!

When he isn't gazing at the horses- he is playing with the dogs!--
(tug-o-war -- with a coon tail on a string- who needs video games and toys!!)


Luckily all dogs are pretty gentle with him- even when he yells at them to "Shup Up Roy" - Shut up Leroy-- its funny - and Leroy listens!   and quits the barking!

The next favorite on Porter's list- well it might be the top is riding the 4-wheeler- with who ever will take him-- He would spend all day on it- and rides really well- just relaxes and hanges out!

 Porter tolerates the Goat- and the Goat tolerates him- here they were having a race- looks like the goat won - but Porter had good form and finished the race any way!!


 Me and my Baby-- oh he is too cute- and getting so big! The wind was blowing a million miles an hour- but he doesn't care!!


 Love Him!!
 Notice the long pants, boots and sweatshirt- and i was still cold! BRR!

Porter's speech is so clear. I love that he answers with "yes" instead of "ya" now. Cracks me up. Today he wanted me to pick him up and said "jodi getcha". I would have had no clue what he was saying if you hadn't told me about it before. He says it so fast it really is like a whole other language.
