fall is in the air

we went to mcconnell's mills a couple weekends ago. the leaves were not yet fully changing color but it was beautiful! the boys enjoyed jumping in the leaves and hiking down the trail to the old mill. some of my favorite pictures...

happy birthday, baby

portie is 2 today. i guess he is not much of a baby anymore. but he was just a little bit ago.

learning to sit up



around his first birthday



i took the day off work and we brought jonas in late to school so we could all go to chuck-e-cheese together. we like to get there early in the am so we are the first ones there. it is nice and quiet, plus we get to collect all the free tickets from the game guy testing all the games! score! here is a slide show of the fun:



this afternoon we will be heading down to dc with porter to go to the temple for sadie and dustin's sealing. jomi and gryffie with be having sleepovers with some of their friends. thank you, perrys and manueles!!! i am sure we will celebrate more of portie's b-day with family, too.

happy birthday, little dude!
