Summer Time...

Porter is Ready for Summer! Chad gave him his summer Buzz this week. It's funny that a hair cut seems to change his personality a little. I sure love my buzz boy.
Before

After

Yeah... Porter is done with school for the year. We are ready to go to the pools, and parks! On Wednesday his preschool went on a field trip to the fire station for their last day of school. Trace and i got to go with his class. We had so much fun learning about fires, and fire fighters. Porter walks around our house saying: "STOP, DROP, and ROLL". He also tells me that he cant breath in the "smoke" from his hot food, because it will hurt him..."Smoke is bad to breath". I've tried to explain that it's not smoke, just steam, but it looks the same to him.

On Friday we took a little trip to Salt Lake to go to Discovery Gateway. Both Porter and Trace love it there! There is so much for both of them to do, they could stay all day. This time they got to do the craft... Foot Prints with Paint. They were so messy! I was so glad that it was there and not at my house. Audrey (Porters cousin) came with us, and together the three of them played their little hearts out. The balls in the picture are both Porters and Traces favorite part!

I don't know why, but for some reason Porter ALWAYS volunteers to do the scripture and prayer in opening exercise for Primary. This last Sunday was no exception. Him and Chad worked hard to learn Mosiah 2:17. He did a great job. Usually he decides he doesn't want to do it right before he goes up to the front, but this time he acted like it was just fine! I'm one proud Mom.

Chad went to Idaho to rabbit hunt today, so me and the boys stayed at my Mom and Dads. We had so much fun as always. Porter keeps his grandma and grandpa VERY busy. He thinks they have to be playing with him at ALL times, or he is going home... What a stinker. Trace requires almost as much attention, so between the two of them, my mom and dad are exhausted by the time we decide to go home!

Well that about does it for our week! Hopefully the weather gets nice and warm this week so we will have lots of fun summer activities to report next week!

ITS A BOY!

This was a fun filled week for us Hansens. On Wednesday Porter graduated from his preschool. They sang lots of songs for all of the parents, and after watched a movie of all the fun things they had done this past year. It is so crazy to see how much he has grown up! I was so proud of him at the program. He did a great job! He has made lots of good friends, and he is learning everyday how to be a good friend back to each of them.

Porter has been playing outside all day everyday, ever since the weather has been getting so nice. On Thursday we were out doing yard work when I heard Porter SCREAMING... I yelled to see what was the matter. He had been stung by a hornet. I thought, (and anyone else in the neighborhood who had hear the scream would have thought) he was going to die. He hasn't yet mastered being "tough". It was a pretty dramatic day for him. He has been watching the bee movie lately so he couldn't figure out why it stung him. He said, "I wasn't even bugging him, doesn't he know it's usually fatal?" I laughed about that for the rest of the day.

On Thursday we had another doctors appointment for our baby. We took both boys this time. They were excited to see if they were going to have a new sister or another brother... It didn't take the doctor very long to tell us that indeed we were having another BOY!! Everyone knows that I was hoping for a little girl this time, but it is what it is, and I couldn't be more thrilled to hear that we have a healthy growing boy! We sure love our two boys, and think the world of them. Now we just need help naming another one...

On Saturday we went swimming for Hunter's birthday party. We have all been pretty sick this week so I wasn't going to have Trace swim. As you can see the picture that wasn't going so good, before i knew it he was soaked anyway, so I put him in his swim suit. Chad had fun playing with both of them at the pool! As far as the sickness goes... I think we are all on the road of getting better. Both boys seem to be doing great, Chad and i are hoping we will be following soon!!!

The "GREAT" Salt Lake

Friday was such a great picture day, I made the boys let me take some pictures of them! We went out to antelope island for a day at the beach!! (What a great beach) When we got there porter's first comment was... "it stinks, why did you bring us here?" He was right. Its not the most fun beach we have ever played at. We didn't stay long, but he ended up having fun looking for bones (yuck), and cool rocks.

That night Chad took both boys up to Grandpa's cabin. I thought he was crazy... but they ended up having a great time. Everyone else that was up there said he was such a great dad!! I should never doubt him. They had a blast. When I got up there on Saturday Porter quickly told me how much help he had been... and that he only got in trouble one time! I guess that was a pretty good night :)
