Baby Corban


We went to Park City and visited Myra's family. I was too busy enjoying everyone to take pictures. I did get one picture I would like to share. It is of Corban, oh and Brittany and Melody!

Scary Face


I was cleaning the counter in the kitchen; Wilson and Holden were watching Blue's Clues. Wilson said "hey mom, look at me", so I did. Then he asked "mom, is this a scarey face?", I told him it was very scarey. He is so funny:)

Chuck E. Cheese





























Last night we went to Chuck E. Cheese with the Voordeckers to celebrate Annalise's birthday. It was packed and crazy, but the kids had fun.

Happy Birthday Annalise


I can't believe that Annalise is 6 years old tomorrow. I remember getting the call from Eric and Heidi to go to Fallbrook and stay with Evan. Annalise has always been a girly girl, and that says a lot, in the land of boys, that she lives. She is a wonderful niece, we love her and are so glad to have her in our family!

BCS Bound


The Utes did it! Yesterday the Portlock home was a "house divided". Ken and Wilson are devoted BYU fans, and I try and influence Holden to support his mom and the Utes. I am so glad that the Utes beat BYU!

Ups & Downs







Holden and Keaton had a great time playing on the seesaw at Buffalo Ranch.

Keaton and Holden usually don't play together very well, and it was fun to watch them giggle and laugh together. As I watched them play, I thought about how much fun they were having whether they were up or down. They both just enjoyed the ride. I found this applicable to life, my life especially. I need to learn to enjoy the ride, and that means enjoying the ups and the downs!

Buffalo Ranch
















After we picked up Annalise from kindergarten, we went to Buffalo Ranch (Anutie's work) to have a picnic and play.
