Good Morning!

Porter, knowing that he can't communicate well through words to mom and dad, he likes to be rather blunt in other (creative) ways when he wants to send a message to us. For example, this morning Porter comes and sits his VERY full wet diaper on my face as I am just waking up. Delightful.

This Journal Contains Proof That I Love Life :)

Living near Las Vegas is INCREDIBLE! Deven, Porter and I went to In 'n Out for dinner with the guys and it was so strange that at 8:40pm I was able to take Porter outside with nothin' but shorts and a T...and of course his diaper, socks and lil. SQUEEKERS!! P.S. EVERYONE LOVES THOSE SHOES!!! I get stopped everywhere I go and I hear at least 3 or 4 times in ONE store, "you'll never lose him!" hahaha, it's true, but I'm getting tired of smiling and pretending I haven't heard it before..haha, but I will keep pretending...bring on the repetitive comments! :) lol! We are only a few minutes from HOBBY LOBBY! and ROSS! and TARGET! and a mall!! Oh boy....I need to start building me up some WILL POWER!!

:Dness!

Week in Washington = REJUVINATING! Strangely enough, I've actually missed the RAIN! There is something about a bright sunny day after the rain...it makes that day even more enjoyable (ha! Because you know it's only a matter of hours before it rains again!)hahaha! Deven and I have tried to make a daily habit of walking my parents pup Rylee...boy has she enjoyed it! She would actually start to expect it come 4pm...she'd wait by the door expectantly...so impatient but cute nonetheless. Jeremy and Whitney Mitchell!! These two lovebirds I've known since PRIMARY! Now they are happily married and off to school..again. WISH YOU TWO THE BEST OF LUCK IN YOUR LIFE TOGETHER! Love you guys! Porter is FINALLY better:) He hasn't thrown up since Wednesday but he's been so fussy, lethargic and clingy up until this morning..yay for good health! FAMILIA! Last night I was able to visit with aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents:) I LOVED IT!! I've really missed conversing with everyone and simply enjoying their company and fun personalities:) LOVE YOU ALL! And Deven, Thank you! I know it's just killing you being on vacation from work...(he feels unproductive) :( You're a trooper! Work is coming soon! :) LOVE YOU!

Sick

Dear Virus -- LEAVE my SON ALONE! GIT! He's been throwing up for 4 days...you've had your fun...NOW LEAVE!!! Porter's mommy who loves him terribly

No Puppy No!

We're HERE!! We just arrived in Seattle! After Deven's graduation commencement on Saturday morning we had lunch with our amazing family at texas roadhouse (my fav) then rushed h0me to pack and clean our apt. At 2:00 a.m., we headed over to Deven's parents to stay the night and were on our way to Seattle at 11 this morning. I have forgotten how mentally stressing it is to move!! AGH! I was so close to punching a hole through the wall...ok, not really but you can imagine my stress right? Yeah....I'm NEVER accumulating ANYTHING EVER AGAIN! haha...now let's watch me NOT go by this hope in the next 24 hours. We now have a fully packed car with everything the THREE of us need for the next 6 months...whew!! WISH US LUCK! WE WILL MISS YOU REXBURG! Not really! Just those of you who we've been blessed to have known and spend time with that live there....:)

Italian MUCH?

Lately Porter has become more and MORE talkative...well, in HIS language...if you've seen the video on Youtube of the set of twins "talking" to each other, you can kind of imagine what I'm describing...but he uses his hands when he talks....looks like a lil Italian is what Grandpa Terry says...and boy is he VOICETEROUS! (sp? yeah i know...jenn go back to jr. high) He is such a hoot!
He loves fresh bananas.
He can sign 'more.'
He loves WHOLE milk:) YAY for fat n calories!
LOVES Sesame Street
CRAVES the outdoors...if anyone is getting ready to go outside (puts on coat/hat etc.) he'll reach for them and act like he wants them to hold him and once they walk away from the door he wants down again...)
Loves home baked chicken nuggets, oatmeal, and yogurt and anything 'mexican'

77th percentile for his height and 38th for his weight...he keeps getting sick:( This last time we had to get a nebulizer to regulate his breathing..what a scare!

Yesterday at his Doc. appt the nurse pointed out that he had a new moler that had just grown in! I didn't even know!

He loves bathtime
LOVES wiping himself when I change his diaper

He is just an all around fun, handsome lil guy:) And I can't wait to FINALLY bring him outdoors this summer and to the pool 5 days a week in VA!! YAY for Summer and nice weather!

Oh, and P.S.. today is April 8th...IT SNOWED IN REXBURG! AGH!

7 years of HARD work finally paid off! :)

Deven Munns--GRADUATE of Brigham Young University- Idaho!!! Yay! Deven graduated tonight! I am so proud of my handsome scholar:) He now has completed his BACHELORS degree in ECONOMICS!! WHOOP WHOOP!! Let me tell ya, he was pretty excited! President Clark and Elder Snow spoke at his graduation tonight and it was such a beautiful ceremony:) We headed out to Gringo's Mexican Restaurant afterwards to celebrate with some good yummy food:) Now, PACKING TIME! We've got 24 hours to be completely packed (3 of us in 1 car for 6+ months time)....let's see how this goes...I'll give you an update soon enough:)
