Candice loves her nieces and nephews...and they love her too.

Donelle loves to make funny faces...and to get other people to do it too!

Alissa is so good with the babies. She organized a playdough party outside. She had great fun when she kept Ainsley and Channing on Monday. They did all kinds of fun stuff. See for yourself.

Grandma loves to hold Rand

And to read bedtime stories to everyone.

Smile, Rand

The water was cold...but Channing kept going back in. Finally Grandpa reminded him about his birthday cake at home. Poor guy was turning blue.
Rand gets his first manicure from Grandma Porter.



The grandbabies like playing with grandpa Porter.

Here are Nate, Kiera and Ainsley zoned in on the TV.

Channing's Birthday and Rand's Blessing

Ainsley and Kiera lounging! I can just picture them in 15 years hanging out together.
Grandpa and the grandbabies going home from the pool.
Channing and his Choo Choo train birthday cake. He was so proud of this cake his Mommy made for him. Aunt Donelle and a wagon full of nieces and a nephew too!
Nick and Jacie with their sweet family.

New BABY BOY

The newest addition to the Porter clan a new baby boy. That is Aunt Candice holding him.
This is is his Great grandma Brown
Proud Mom and Dad
Aunt Alissa
And Grandma Porter. Jacie and Nick will let us know his name as soon as they decide on one!

Tag you're it!

Jacie tagged me so here it goes:

1. All things pertaining to dirty floors (sticky, dusty, grimy, hair...) and thus the reason I love my Hoover Floormate (shameless advertising?)
2. Hair on the bathroom floor
3. Dirty dishes in the sink... at least run some water in them!
4. I hate to write (which is why Alissa is typing this for me... p.s.- Alissa is the best!)
5. I hate being asked what I want for Christmas/birthday etc. I would rather just get whatever someone picked out for me even if I don't like it!
6. I love soft sheets! So much that I wore a hole through our old set.
7. The question I hate most: "what's for dinner?" If you're old enough to ask, you're old enough to make it yourself!

and with that I tag: Kate, Meisha and Alissa "hah!"

Kiera loves doggies

Of course all the grandbabies do too!
