Porter's tooth up top is looking SO SO big! His second one up top looks like it will be making it's grand entrance soon as well. Deven and I threw our very first annual Halloween party last night! We had a great turnout...about 22 people came decked out in SWEET costumes!

We had a pole and dancer ;) with their little ADORABLE witch:)...SOO CREATIVE! GOOD JOB Nick and Haley!

...an olden times couple from Ukraine..LOVED THE HATS!!

...a "how to train your dragon" family theme...Little Bailey was the dragon while Beth and Chance dressed the parts of the two main characters..( I don't know the names because I haven't seen the movie :(...but after talking with Beth, I will see it soon!!) Beth had a lot of work and time go into these costumes..home made! yay! They looked so great!!

We also had a Squaw (Scotty) and Becky was a cowboy..sweet costumes and arm n face paint...There was a pirate (jac), 80's chick (aubrey), and my cousin Tyson and his wife Cassie swapped clothes...tyson didn't look too hot in a dress but we'll pretend he did.

Addison came as a referee, Dion came as a "black guy"..haha, he came straight from a test with no time to dress up..then Deven came as Dr. Doofenshmirtz, Porter as a dinosaur (thanks grammy Terry) and myself as a cowgirl...fun times! Great food! Exciting "games"!!

Latest Upcomings

Porter is scooting the hamper around like a grocery cart
Weighing in at 20lbs 9oz 28 1/4 inches long 18 in head circumference
His percentile is going down:( I wasn't aware that I could start feeding him meats at 6 MONTHS! WHEW! I'll be getting on that...given him Ham (disliked) and Turkey (not sure about it yet) thus far...we'll see how it goes as I give him a bit more protein and LOTS more calories through meats. (The doctor told me that cats LOVE jarred meats because they taste like cat food. I should have asked him how he knew that huh?)

Porter JUST started cutting a tooth up top on the left center!! Yay! (it would be HIS right though)

We'll be going to visit a pumpkin patch hopefully soon..if we can find one around here...no luck thus far. Our pumpkin patch fun may have to end up being the front of Broulims or Wal-Mart. :/

And even MORE milestones reached!!

3 days ago while Deven was changing Porter's VERY HEAVY-LOADED STINKY STANKY diaper, he noticed "deer poop" in Port's diaper!! His first solid poo!! My reaction to missing this was rather odd now that I look back on it...I was SO sad that I didn't get to see it and I wasn't the one changing him for his first solid poop! Funny right? Or maybe just weird. We'll go with weird.

For the past two weeks Porter has also been starting to stand himself up next to the hamper and push it around the house like a GROCERY CART! SO SWEET! He'll be walking by 10 1/2 months...I'm bettin' on it!!:)

On Wednesday, Porter was invited to his first PARTY!! Now when I say party...you know I meant a BIRTHDAY Party right?? Sadie Terry, Porter's (let's go with cousin)...so Porter's cousin Sadie celebrated her FIRST birthday!! She was SO darn cute! She's got 4 teeth now and LOTS of hair! We haven't seen her for a while now, so when I heard her "cackle" (sp?) I almost cried!! (well, maybe not that emotional) but I missed it SO much! Nick and Haley (with the help of Brent and Joyce) had decided to do a fun BBQ at a park in Iona. The homemade, WELL DECORATED cupcakes were incredibly delicious and the food just hit the spot. Thanks Haley and Nick for such a fun time! Happy Birthday Sadie girl!

New Glasses!

Yesterday I received my VERY FIRST pair of glasses (since the 2nd grade..but that doesn't count because I never wore them). I just love the look of them. I've never felt comfortable with glasses of any sort because none seemed to work with my face shape...ESPECIALLY aviators which is a bummer because they look so darn cute on Deven. I had Deven make the final decision on which ones I would purchase (well, Insurance covered pretty much the ENTIRE cost;)) because he's got great taste, it's incredible!! After trying on about 20 something pairs, we settled on a cute "young secretary" styled pair of glasses. They have a light blue color on the inside rims and around the sides which is WONDERFUL because it really brings out my big BLUES! Yay!


I have DEFINITELY been needing some lenses seeing how, without them, I am illegally driving because my eyesight is JUST THAT BAD. :)

My favorite part about wearing glasses is at night, when Deven and I are staying up reading, watching a show or studying together while snuggled in bed... we look SO darn CUTE in our glasses! I just KNOW we'll make an adorable old couple:)
