March continues 2013

 A beautiful day in our country, or as they call it around here, "God's country".

 I turned 30...that's a big one!

 I should have included more of our poor parenting, but this is the beloved puddle in our backyard in the spring.  It is a fishing hole, a cranberry harvest, and I finally grew tired of keeping Maybelle excluded from the fun.  So on a bitter 50 degree day I set her free.  She was so happy, I could not get her to get out so we let her play until her lips began to change color.  Then stripped her down outside and put her in the bath. Yes, Porter likes to wear basketball shorts over cargo pants to make his wardrobe versatile and unique.  He is ready to build or play ball any time he is not at work on this puddle.

 The fireman told him they would call if they needed more help, he keeps his skills up to date for just that occasion.

 Ponderay egg hunt is the best, we just show up and leave with candy.

Porter and the Easter bunny.

February & March 2013

Porter and Jeff partying at Schweitzer, actually Jeff played with kids while I night skied.  We also watched the torchlight parade and the fireworks show.  Porter loved the show, Maybelle felt a bit differently.

 In February we had a blast hanging out with Grandma Pam, Aunt Carrie, cousin Lincoln and.....

 a fun filled Aunt Lisa.  Porter and Lisa made a huge snowman and a Porter sized snowman.  We are so grateful they made the long long drive to see us.

 Jeff made a cross country ski sled for the kids to ride on.  It works swell for the first half hour, after that they are tired of sitting.  Notice my kids have a bit of an obsession with ski goggles, they love to wear them more than anything.

 We took a quick, very quick trip to Utah for Grandpa Bitton's funeral.  Maybelle and Porter with Gma and Gpa Meyer.

 Intro to boxing lesson...one of many to come at the Meyer household.

 Porter's highlight was a sample of farm life.  A quick stop at the Jensen farm, Porter showed no fear of this large "bull cow".

 The end to our stop in Utah, and sent with girl scout cookies.  We are so grateful to have seen so much of our families at the beginning of this year.
