state fair

Last Saturday we took Porter to his first fair! We kept it short & sweet. Really, all we did was see the animals, get some funnel cake, and then we were out of there! But it was perfect for a little boy who was cutting it dangerously close to bedtime. And, oddly enough, it was also the perfect amount of time for his parents, who are definitely not fans of crowded venues.

Porter's first funnel cake was also my first and Brian's first. We thought it was pretty good . . . once. Hopefully Porter agrees with that decision.

climbing

Ogden got a new rock climbing gym. It's Brian's new favorite place. So last Saturday, after Brian got off work, Porter and I met him there to check it out, watch him climb . . . and I got a teeny bit of climbing in myself.

Since Porter's come, there's been a lot less climbing in our household. Though Brian still climbs a lot, it is A LOT less than he would normally do! It was fun to get out and see how good my husband is at climbing. Also, it was funny to see how terrible I've gotten!

This is also one of my favorite rock climbing gyms that Brian's found. It's a really old building and the walls are all windows- I love windows!

future missionary

Good thing we still have 18.5 years to train our future missionary. He has much to learn about behavior that is appropriate for church before we can send him on a mission. He's really not bad at church; just loud & happy! We are completely exhausted after the 3 hours each Sunday.

Retro

Brian loves to spoil Porter. However, in this case, I think the toy was more for Brian than for the baby! As I was trying on some clothes at Old Navy the other day, Brian took Porter next door to Toys'R'Us. And they came back with a Smurf! It plays the Smurf theme song & even came with a Smurf episode on dvd. 

I will admit, I'm pretty excited about this toy too!
