Hair do you do?

 Porter's lunchtime fort, I love how my child never looks dirty...he is so neat and clean all the time.  What an angel :).

 The mullet/bull cut it is kinda a new trend.

The tennis ball brothers.  After cutting Porter's hair every three weeks and Jeff's nearly every nine months.  They decided to get twinner hair do's.

Our never ending winter fun

This is part of our ice skating pairs routine. When it gets cold really fast here we get the equivalent of a zamboni cleaned ice rink on the lake. We have had a couple of great nights this winter, we can ice skate under the bridge while a train is running across it if we dared.

This is a snow cave that jeff built in our front yard for Porter, he loves his new house as he referrs to it.

When we have to shovel our drive way more than once a day Porter typically gets to take a snowmobile ride down road while one of us shovels. He is really into snowmobiling on this vintage thrift shop steal.

Porter and Jeff in front of our house (yes it is teal) and no it is not the brightest house or trailer on the block.

Christmas vacation in Utah

Porter and Me sledding in the backyard at my parents house.

Porter at the Tree House Museum. My mom worked her magic and got us in for free.

My very beautiful Christmas morning photo. You are never too old for new Christmas jammies at the Welch/Jensen household. Porter got way more presents from his grandparents than he got from his parents.

So this is our only family picture with everyone looking during the holidays. This is also a picture of Jeff about 1 week post maxilofacial surgery. If he looks a bit swollen and glazed over it is because he is.

oct-dec 2010, your welcome

Our Favorite cow trunk or treating

Porter and ribs, need I say more.
Our annual Christmas tree photo.

Porter Christmas Morning smelling his flowery bows. Way more interesting than anything inside the wrapping.

October 2010

Porter loves to stick his tongue out at the camera when he is supposed to be smiling, he reminds me of Jonny off of Karate Kid.
Carving Pumpkins.. me and the tongue.
Water skiing with Jeff "the rooster" Jensen.
Okay so this is still September, Jeff and Paul on Lake Pend O'reille.

Here's what has been happening

Porter turned one year on July 10th. Here is his classic cake mauling experience.
Porter and Jeff: We like to ride our bikes to the beach in the summer and go for a swim, then ride home. Porter's favorite thing to do is ride bikes.


Porter and Jeff before dual, buzz cuts....notice I don't have the after picture on here. Porter's didn't turn out so great and it took me two days to actually complete.
Jeff's dad came to visit us in September, this is us amongst the fog at Caribou Lake.
