GUESS WHO'S 4...

PORTER-MAN


Our little Buster turned 4 years old today. Like I've said before, it's gone by sooo fast. Here are some things about Porter you may not know or have forgotten about Porter.
He has always been a snuggler.
When he was a baby, he had to sleep wrapped up super tight.

He has always tried to be independent in doing things on his own.
Right before we left Iowa, he and Logan made hand prints that were put around a much loved play area.


He's been to the John Deere headquarter's, and I highly recommend it if you have a tractor lover in your family.
He hasn't stopped eating since the day he was born.


He has had glasses since he was a year old and has had 2 eye surgeries.
He was a BEAR to potty train.
If you mention anything about him or his stuff being babyish he'll come at you like a spider monkey.
He is the hardest kid to say "no" to.
He is always willing and wanting to share, especially with his brother (Logan).


He had his first friend birthday party yesterday, and it was a blast. He just invited some church friends, and he was so excited that they all came to celebrate his special day.

The weather wasn't very cooperative for the first little while, so we played some games down in the basement. Luckily it cleared up and got really hot for a little inflatable pool party.
This year we're starting a new tradition. On our kid's birthday, they get to go out to dinner with just Brandon and I. They get to pick wherever they want to go. He picked Red Robin (really we were crossing our fingers he wouldn't pick McDonalds. Luckily, he didn't.) Then afterwards we went and picked out a new bike just for him. Now he doesn't have to ride his little tricycle anymore. It's been such a fun weekend celebrating our little man. Life just wouldn't be as fun if Porter wasn't in our family. We're so grateful for him and the joy and excitement he brings to our family.
