Tiff's Swim Party

Tonight we had another great swim party at Sundloff's. My kids had a blast swimming, eating pizza, eating ice cream cones, and breaking a pineata.






It's Soccer Time...

I love Porter's Soccer. It is so much fun watching him play! He started a new season today. This year he is playing a year older, and everything has changed. The field is way bigger, the kids are way bigger (and better), they play 5 on 5, and the games last the whole hour instead of 30 min! Porter did great, but his team lost... BADLY. Hopefully next week will be better. It might take Porter some "getting use to", to not be able to score as many goals as he wants.






Mmmmm.... SUGAR??


Here is Roc's newest mess. The other day I heard Roc smacking his lips, and wondered what he had found. I wasn't too worried about it at first, but then I heard it again. The second time I decided I better go see what he was up to. He had taken the lid off my huge thing of sugar, and was eating handfuls of it. He had it ALL over him, and everything else. WHAT A TREAT! So we had to have a bath after that trick! This is just one of the many things he is getting into these days...

Roc can Walk!

I just took Roc in for his 9 month check up. I know I'm way late since he is now 11 months. I was scared to take him in because of the swine flu. So we finally decided it would be okay. He weighs 20 lbs 13 oz... Now, you aren't going to believe that my super CHUNKY baby is only in the 40% for his weight. I guess his chub is just extra light?? He is only about 50% for height, so shorter than both the other boys at this age. He is so much fun. He is full of personality. We all love having him around. He is making all kinds of sounds, and is always gabbing. He eats everything!! My mom and I were talking about his 1st birthday party, and what he loves. The best thing I could think of was FOOD. The kid could out eat Trace every day of the week, and some times even Porter! He only has three teeth, but it doesn't slow him down. He can gum anything. He is always smiling and laughing. He wants to be in the middle of whatever the boys are doing, and can't stop watching them. And... He has started walking!! He is still really unstable, but can walk across the room at times. He still crawls much faster, and so he usually chooses to do so. But he is starting to take more and more steps... Before long he will be walking all over!




I'm adding a few more pictures for my book...






Check out these thighs!!




And this make me laugh, because it would be a safer world if he would wear this these days... I'm telling you what: This kid is BUSY!

Raging Waters

My dad took all the kids to Raging Waters today. It was so much fun. Uncle Danny came to play too. Again my kids were in Heaven. Water, Sun, and the Big boys... It doesn't get any better!! Porter rode everything except the big sled one, and loved them all. Trace couldn't ride most of the slides, but loved all the kids stuff. Raging Waters is just like I remember as a kid. Not much has changed, even the water is as freezing as I remember! My dad was so cute with the kids. If you didn't know better, you would think he was 20. He did everything the kids wanted to, and kept up with them all day. What a cool Gramps.

Davis County Fair

While Chad was hunting this past weekend (no elk yet by the way :( ), the kids and I decided it would be fun to go to the "Little" fair. (We say little fair, because they have been so excited for the State Fair, which isn't until next month.) My mom and dad came with us, and we had a great day. Little Roc loves going in his stroller so he was easy and Porter and Trace loved just being outside with Grandma and Grandpa. We saw bunnies and chickens, lots of crafts, and great vegetables! Trace loved riding the ponies, but Porter says it was too boring! They both had fun on the little carnival rides.



There was an big ARMY exhibit. One of the things to do was train like a Cadet. If you could do 60 push ups for guys, or 30 for girls, you would get a hat. Porter wanted to do it, so the nice girl said "go ahead and try". You were suppose to be 16, and I'm sure she was thinking, YEAH RIGHT KID... So Porter started into his push ups. The kid whipped 60 out like it was nothing. Yep, you read right, he did 60 push ups. He got his hat. Then Trace wanted one too, so I did my push ups for him. Too bad Dad wasn't there to show off his push ups too!!


On our way out, there was another sport exhibit. Porter and Trace threw baseballs and footballs, did a high jump, shot some baskets, and last of all Porter did 61 more push ups. He set the record for 6 and under. Before him the record was 34. The kid can do push ups!
