Bailee's Birthday!!!

So many girls(couple boys too!) Silly Bailee


Daddy Montana

Well Bailee's birthday was last friday the 27th and we had so much fun. we started the day off with our first trip to the dentist(I know I'm the meanest mom to take my kids to the dentist on their b day) but thats the day it fell on so what could i do. Anyway that was fun Bryce did awesome and has no issues yet with his teeth. But Bailee has a little gag reflex problem and they had a really hard time getting the exrays and finally gave up. but other than that she did really good.

Then at 2:30 we had 7 other 6 year olds come over for a swim party, it was soo much fun..man those girls have so much energy I wish i could bottle it up and use a little bit every day. then after swimming we went inside and had yummy cake and icecream and believe it or not the kids ate all the icecream and cake!!! then it was present time and that was fun too, the girls would see each present and start yelling out what they thought it would be, it was pretty funny.

One of the presents Bailee got was a Hannah montana wig and every single person had to try it on of course ....including mike I like to call him "Daddy Montana" I think it fits don't you?

Then at the end of the night we took Bailee to her favorite restraunt Red robin and met my parents and my sister and her fiance there. all in all it was a chaotic, fun, busy day!!

update on baby #3

Well we had another ultrasound and doctor appt on Tuesday and everything went really well. The ultrasound was the cutest!! There was actually a baby in there with a really strong heartbeat and everything was still shaped right and measured perfect. My due date is officially January 31st, we are sooooooooo beyond excited about this sweet baby. My doctor said everything looks so good that we dont have to go back for 4 weeks...AHHHHH I've got a little anxiety about that but I'm trying to just act like i did with Bailee and Bryce and not freak out. My morning sickness is really hard to deal with, i just feel crappy pretty much at all times. But this is what i signed up for so im taking it.

Thank you guys for all your support and prayers, I really need all i can get at this time in my life. Im really excited to see what the future hold for our Porter family!!!

Bryce is 3!!!

Well today is Bryces birthday. we had his party on saturday, so he doesnt actually know that his birthday is today(i thought it would confuse him) but I have thought about it all day that my precious baby boy is growing up!! He is such a funny kid and has such a great sense of humor. I love his little thoughts and his sayings. He is also very emotional and sensitive, sometimes thats good and sometimes it's bad. But Happy birthday Bryce we love you!!!!

Busy!!

I have been out of the loop for a while but I'm back... Mike finally made it home from scout camp and he had a lot a fun, he did come back pretty sore though, he hiked 50+ miles!! I'm soo proud of him and thankful for his service for those boys.

The last week Bailee started the summer reading program at school and thats fun for her. It's nice because she only has to go for three hours and the first day she was shocked when I was there to pick her up already. She kept saying the rest of the day, " Is that what first grade is gonna be like?" but we had to burst her bubble and tell her no way. But she is enjoying summer school especially because they get to have snacks a few times in the day. One of her best friends Alex is in the class with her so that makes it better too of course.

The kids also started swimming lessons last week and Bailee loves every minute of it. For the first 3 days Bryce screamed his head off the entire 30 mins!!! and tried to get out of the pool numerous times and finally on the last day of that week he did perfect! I'm soo proud of him for over coming his fear a little bit. But is Monday morning and we have swimming lessons again to day and one of the first things out of his mouth this morning was that he did not want to go to swim lessons so we'll see how this week ends!!

I also had a doctor appt and they did an ultrasound and everything is grwoing the way it should. I go back next tues for another ultrasound and by then we will see a heartbeat. So I will try to keep myself busy this week to keep my mind off of it. With everything I've gone through in the past, I'm trying to just take it one step at a time and not get so anxiety filled, I'm doing a pretty good job. I'm not as stressed this time around. The nausia has started to kick in full force today!! yayay I actually like it but hate it at the same time. It at least gives me the idea that everything is moving in the right direction, as long as I'm feeling crappy than it's a good sign. So thats it for last week, now its just another week of the same thing so it will be busy!!

Mikes gone and I'm sad

Well Mike left on his scout camp on monday morning around 9 am. They were actually gonna leave at 5 am but the boys didn't like that soo much so they changed it. So I've been trying to come up with ideas of things to do while he is gone, some things came to mind like cleaning, laundry, some more cleaning but I decided that I don't really want to do much while he's gone, I just want to have fun. He wont get back until saturday so it will be a long week. Monday I did my moms hair and then we went to one of the city pools with our friends the Newbolds, then we went to streets of newyork to eat dinner with them too because my friend Janas husband works there so we thought it would be nice not to have to cook or anything. Today a bunch of us moms from the ward took the kids to the morning movies that is every tuesday so that will be fun for the summer. I also had a doctor appt today, most of you don't know yet but as of right this second I am pregnant again. I'm trying to be positive this time and really enjoy every minute because you never know when those minutes are over. so anyways then Bailee and I just got into the pool for a little bit while Bryce was taking a nap and now its time to go to my daily trip to walmart and then over to my moms for dinner. Now I just have to find some more things to do this week to pass the time, let me know if you have any ideas.

Fathers and sons/ girls night out

This last friday was the father and sons campout. I think Mike was more excited to go than Bryce. He loves to camp and anyone who knows me, it is not my thing. So when he gets a chance to go camping he'll take it. But it sounded like they had a great time with everyone and got some cute pictures.

Bailee and I went to dinner and shopping for a new toy. Of all the places to pick to eat we ended up at taco bell! that has turned into Bailee's favorite place to eat. Then we invited my friend Misti and her daughter Grace to come over and play for a while. It was a great time to spend with eachother. Then saturday I had to work all day 8:30am to 5 pm it was a good day but tiring, but Mike and I got to go out on a hot date and that was what kept me going all day. We ended up at cheesecake factory and then to see the movie Ironman. It was such a nice time to spend with eachother, we don't date as often as we should. I love spending that time with my cutie pie!!

Becky's triathlon!!!

I thought I would post some pictures of my triathlon that I completed in April. I've just gotten the hang of this computer and picture thing so it has taken a while to post these pictures but I thought everyone would want to see what it looks like to accomplish a goal! These are two of my friends that also completed the race with me, the one in orange is my good friend Jana( she lives right across the street) I love her and the other girl is Kassandra and she is a friend from the ward. This was before the race started and the husbands were getting pictures of all the wive. we are some hot mamas!!

This was me getting nervous to start the swim(6oo meters) and the water was61 degrees!!! holy cow I cant believe I did it. yay!!!

This next one was me right after I had completed the swim, and that was the worst part of the whole thing. I dreaded that part because I'm not too good of a swimmer, so i was on cloud 9 when i saw the end of the swim. next is the bike!

The bike ride was supposed to be 12 miles but some people think it was a little shorter. But I say " who cares how long the ride was it was well worth the feeling at the end!!"

This was the BEST part of the whole race! to cross the finish line and do something that you never thought you would ever do in your life. I will probably do another one sometime in my life, but not any time soon!!
