Porter's Deadliest Catch

We just returned yesterday from a quick trip to Alaska to visit Porter's grandparents. We packed a lot into 3 and a half days in Juneau, including 2 fishing trips.

I could make a big mess if I pulled out all of Grandma's books!

The second catch of the day - a 17 lb king salmon. I missed getting a picture of the first catch a 13 lb king.

Fishing is hard work! Thankfully the rocking of the boat helps put little ones to sleep.

Porter the pointer

Porter has recently discovered how to point with his fingers and it seems to be his favorite thing to do. We're thinking he might be destined to be a traffic cop or perhaps he will guide airplanes into the gate. Here are some action shots of his two handed point, as well as a cute sleeping picture that I couldn't resist sharing.

The Three Amigos

We made the trek to Gilbert this past Saturday for some fun with Porter's cousins since we will miss Cameron's first birthday party next weekend. The boys had a lot of fun playing together - as you can see in the photos Porter and Cameron are quite the dynamic duo.

No is funny when GG says it too...

Nebraska Trip

Here are some highlights from our trip to Nebraska. Porter had such a great time visiting his relatives. Unfortunately his mommy failed to get pictures of him with the Naber families, which is a shame because he had so much fun playing with his cousins.

Let's walk GG!

Look at the mess I made in GG's kitchen!
