Tara and Pig were awesome to take us out in their boat for a day! It was hands down our kids favorite day in the states! And it's a big thanks to Grandma Joyce too for being willing to stay on the beach with the little kids all day!
He's still got it! =)
Sophie never quite got all the way up on the knee board, but she decided half-way was good enough!
Briggs did great for his first time and even braved crossing the wake.
That's me hanging onto the back of the board with Porter. I stayed on as long as I could and then told him I was going to let go but that he should hang on. He was doing great, but the boat slowed down worried about leaving me in the open water and poor Porter submarined...and didn't let go.
Having this picture on my blog is the only excuse I have to look at it...so it's here to stay.
Overheard at Our House
Yesterday as Tyler was having his Father/Son interview with Briggs they got talking about signs of the last days and Second Coming. Tyler told Briggs that there would be a lot of natural disasters such as tornadoes, earthquakes, and tidal waves. Briggs said, "Oh yeah! I know! And like losing a coin or Playstation and busted controllers!"
Tyler recently spent 5 hours in the emergency room with Porter after a particularly bad attack of an asthma like condition he has. Driving home at the end of the 5 hours Porter turned to Tyler and said, "Dad, I appreciate your obedience. You were very good and very brave."
A Recent Dinner Conversation:
Porter: (As Mom shoes a fly away from his head) This fly is my buddy Mom!
Mom: Well did you know that your buddy has poo-poo feet?
Porter: (Choked out between sobs and a torrent of tears.) Don't call my buddy a name! Why did you say that about my buddy Mom? He doesn't have poo-poo on his feet!
Nothing I could say made it better. He only cried more until I just apologized for the poo-poo name calling incident.
