A Work of Art-Disturbed!

Sid and I went to BYU-Provo on Friday. I went to hear Andrew Clement, my nephew, perform his cello for his senior recital. Braxton kept Sid entertained. Andrew's recital was at the Museum of Arts building. When I saw Braxton, he wanted me to see something. I followed him into this room where there was a bunch of packing popcorn. Before I knew it, he was in the pile and not getting out. The security guy was right next to me telling me to get Braxton out of there. He also mentioned that Braxton had been there before and that pictures were not allowed. I had no idea that it was an art display. Braxton loved it and had the packing stuff all over the place. What a kid! My sister, Gale and her husband drove from Chicago for spring break.

The Best Birthday Present Ever

Adam turned three on March 10th. I wasn't around on his birthday so I took him to Target to choose his own present. Notice his jacket...Mr. Nascar.
He choose two motorcycles with guys. He loved it and kept saying it was his best birthday present ever and where was his birthday present? He kept losing and breaking it. He is at the cutest age ever.

Grecian Water Gods

Brant is getting his water which he will spit out.

Dennis is getting his water which he has to keep inside of his mouth.

Dennis is marching in.

Yes, that is Sid wearing a table cloth. He, Dennis and Brant joined by several members of ward, performed a Greican Water Dance. It was really funny and the guys really enjoyed it. It is hard to explain, but you had to be there to fully appreciate it. The talent show was really good and I thought that I was at American Idol. The talent at the college is amazing. About 1/3 of these kids will be heading home and new ones will be coming in a few weeks. Sid has a few weeks off before the new semester begins. I think that this will be a great experience for him.

This is a scrapbook page that I did for second Saturday. It was fun to dig through the old photos and find the baby pictures. I didn't get it quite finished-journaling, but they wanted to put it on the Porter's blog so that's why I have such a nice scanned photo. First photo is Holly. My roommate at the hospital had a Polaroid camera (that dates me) and took this photo. Second is Matt with the Clement cousins. Third is Megan with Carol Anne, Mary Ann's daughter. Megan had all of the hair and Carol Anne didn't get any until about 3 years old. The next one is Tim and the last one is Keith. I realized that I didn't have many photos of myself with my kids. I guess that I was always taking the pictures. Anyway it was a fun scrapbook page to do.

The Three Unpolished Stones

Teri's camera

My camera- I guess there is a difference!
Dennis referred to them as 3 unpolished stones....I referred to them as 3 hicks from the sticks. Dennis is the new bishop a a BYU-I ward with Sid and Brant Kerbs as counselors. Holly said that Dennis is going to drag Sid to heaven whether he wants to go or not. I went over to their church yesterday and they will do fine. The kids need a break and a change from the college professors.

It's a Girl

I am so excited. We are finally having another granddaughter. Lily won't be alone. Matt and Jess are excited also. This was taken in Fiji. Baby girl is due the first part of August

Keith is getting settled in Dallas and got an apartment. He is planning to come back for a visit over the week of Memorial Day. I feel lonely for him even though we didn't see him that much before, he is farther away.

Bathroom-finished finally!

Yes, it was worth and wait. Sid will never quite get over how much is was or how long it took.

I love the granite and the undermount sink. Actually it's all great to me and I'm glad that it is done. Sid thought that the girls had too much input into it, but ultimately I made the decisions. We learned a lot from the experience and would probably do a few things differently.
