The Porter's Place

Adjusting

Hey all, it's been a while! We are all moved in up north, and adjusting to life here. The kids love it here. We are going camping this weekend, and Kati is getting really good at casting her fishin' pole. Logan is a T ball champ (in our backyard). I have done a few photography jobs, and am learning so much! Casey is adjusting to sleeping at night, and has really gotten into the Harry Potter audio books during his drives. He keeps telling me " Do you know how much better the book is than the movie?" I laugh because I have told him that all along. It's been fun talking about books with him. Mocha loves it here. She is getting more adventurous every day! The kids keep letting her out of the yard, but she has learned to go to Uncle Russell's house, so it makes the job of finding her much easier. Casey and Russell (his Brother) take Mocha rollerblading with them because she is so strong. They love the thrill of getting pulled along so fast. Kati starts preschool in the fall, and is trying to convince me to sign her up for dance too. She has grown up so much, I can't believe she's going to be 4 next week! Logan is starting to talk more everyday. He puts two words together now. It's been fun to watch him figure out new words, and pretend with Kati. He is so expressive. He is still shy and has the best mad face whenever anyone new comes around. He makes me laugh everyday. He argues with me now almost as much as Kati does. We are having a great time getting to know new cousins, and are excited to see all our cousins in Vegas next week. We can't wait!

We are moving!!!

Casey got an amazing job in Ogden Utah so we will be packing up and heading north. We are excited to live closer to Casey's family and Liz, but we will be sad to leave my family and this great warm weather. Wish us luck!!!

Death Valley

Doesn't that sound like the perfect place to take a family trip! :)

Kati didn't think so. But we went hiking there with Gpa n Gma Rhees & Uncs Ad and Josh.

We went on a few hikes, got to see some itty bitty fish that live in a salt water spring there

and some amazing views,

and Katis favorite part was the real life castle!!!

We even got to go inside!

Which Kati found out was not so fun, because you can't touch anything.

All in all it was an amazing day in the desert.

Enjoying our prespring warmth

Kati is obsessed with the tulips in our backyard. She is always looking at them and smelling them.

Logan is afootball freak!!! Look how concentrated he is!

Logans Birthday.

We went out to Redstone (a climbing spot out by Lakemead) for the day. It was really fun. Aunt Amanda and Uncle Ryan, James, Carter, Rebecca, Eliza, Grandma and Grandpa Rhees and Uncle Adam all came with us. We had lunch out there. Kaitlyn ended the day early when she dislocated her elbow. Logan went home with grandma and had a nap, while Casey and I took Kati to the hospital. We are just thankful it wasn't broken!!!
