The Stories of our life
Can you find Logan in this picture?
Olivia right after nap time. 
Porter worked on the letter P last week and to end the week was able to have a pajama party. He had so much fun and loved wearing his jammies to school.
Beautiful trees that I drive through when I take Porter to school.
She loves to crawl! Every day she gets faster and faster. She has a fascination with the bathroom. She loves to go in there, not sure why, but that's her hotspot.
She's learning the "Cry Wolf" routine, where she'll cry until you pick her up, or put her down or give her what she wants and then is perfectly happy afterwards.
She's a pickey eater. If I give her something she doesn't like she spits it out and throws the rest of it on the floor. Then she'll go tight lipped and there's no more trying to get her to eat what she doesn't want to.
She hates shoes on her feet, she would much rather chew on them than wear them.
(She's trying her hardest to eat this apple, it was so funny!)
Brandon called this picture her "evil" picture. And guess what it's the one I ordered the 8x10 of.
A story of these pictures is, when we first got there she just sat there. She didn't smile, she just stared at me like what are you doing to me. After the photographer and I did our best at getting her to smile, by acting like crazy people, and not getting anywhere. I started to say "Da-da!" and sure enough right after I said those magic words she perked right up, got super excited and started smiling and playing as best she could. It's so fun to see how much she loves her "da-da!" and he her. I love it! 
Brandon was mad!
I think it looks cute! Can you tell what I'm talking about?
Even Olivia was great during the game. She was passed between grandma, dad and me, and she did just fine.
Saturday and Sunday, we pretty much stayed inside and watched General Conference. It was a really good conference, and my boys watched most of it. We played "Conference Bingo," to encourage them to listen. Monday morning we had planned on heading up to Mackinac Island, but at 2:30 am I heard Logan throwing up. About an hour later Porter started. They went back and forth about every 30 -40 minutes until around 6:30 am. We didn't know if we were still going to go. We decided to get some Zofran, and it helped. Our boys slept the entire way up.
When we first got there we decided to go across the Mackinac bridge which connects the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan. We went into St. Ignace, ate dinner and walked along this board walk with a light house. It turned out to be really pretty scenery with the clouds and the sunset.
The next day we took the ferry over to Mackinac Island and spent most of the day there. We spent the majority of our time at Fort Mackinac which was used during the Revolution War. We made it to the island just in time. The people there said this was their last week before going home for the winter.
We went to the Grand Hotel and were planning on having lunch after we took this picture. Unfortunately, a lady informed us that to be standing where we were we needed to pay $10. It was a little ridiculous, so we went back by the docks and ate there. We walked around a lot, got some delicious fudge, salt and pepper shaker's, and a Christmas ornament.
I love light houses so here's another picture of one.
We went back to the lower peninsula and went to the light house there. We were able to go up in this one which was really cool.
This is the grand hotel from the ferry on our way back to the lower peninsula.
Before we came home, we went to Fort Michimackinac, a French and English fur trading fort used in the 1600-1700's. It was cool, probably a lot cooler if we had gone the week before. There were a few "colonial" people there to do the demonstrations. It was freezing! We had a busy and fun week. It's always lots of fun when we have visitor's come to our house.
