Surprise!

Well, my hubby got me good for Mother's Day. Never saw it coming. I think this picture of my face sums it up best....(ignore the Houston hair, please)

A BIG GIRL CAMERA!! 

So MAYBE, just MAYBE this blog will get some more attention?! Haha! Only if this camera adds more TIME in the day as well! haha... I will try. This morning I enjoyed playing around with it and of course have so much to learn! Here are some pics of our lazy morning!

Henry wanted to make some hummingbird nectar so we looked up the recipe and he made it himself! 

Wordless Wednesday

Fun fun weekend

We had a great weekend, and I'm hoping y'all did too! The weather was just perfect here and we were outside almost all weekend. We did a little work, but mostly all play! Besides going to a CAT family day, we stayed in the neighborhood and had lots of fun exploring. We've been wanting to get bikes for a while now and ESP since moving...our neighborhood is perfect for it. So Kit & I got bikes & we got a bike trailer for Porter & Wells. So fun!! But now all the laundry is calling my name so...Happy Monday!



(P is on the left and W is on the right in the trailer) :):).

Life lately according to our iphones

Sweet baby is OUT!


So sweet praying in the morning


How adorable is Wells Grey?


Cutie requested a shower! Big boy Pman.


You are welcome, Mrs. Porter Cadwallader!


I spy 3 boys! Can you find Wells?! :)


Kit was vacuuming the dog off here. Needless to see we are "those" crazy neighbors hahaha!!


Henry may very well become a cross country runner. He is very good at it!

We had a fun weekend with the Wx fam! Friday we enjoyed a fun walk about the neighborhood and going on a little turtle hunt.








Saturday was "Nature Fest" in our neighborhood. It was huge! Animals, camel rides, little train, alligators, remote control boats, armadillo petting, farmers market, face painting,food trucks, etc...lots to see and do. It was overcast that morning which was so nice...until it cut loose and poured!! Every single one of us were soaked to the bone walking...I mean running home! Ha! Good times! :)


























Sunday morning we got up and had the rare opportunity to see my niece dive in a meet not far from our house. That was so fun and E did a great job!!





Thank you Wx fam for another fun weekend! :-)

Project Friday! {black door}

Happy Friday! 

Just posting another little project we've done. Our house has lots of black accents especially in the kitchen! The pantry door was white and the same as all the doors throughout our house but it was sticking out like a sore thumb in the kitchen. So I decided to paint the door. It calmed down that corner of the kitchen and we like it! 

I will admit I was very nervous to paint a perfectly good door but sometimes you just gotta step out and take the risk, right? :)

Before & After {entry way}

Well, here is our first project in the new house. I thought the best place to start was the entry way. Our house has a lot of black accents on both the outside and the inside.


So, black was speaking to me when thinking about this space. This picture was my inspiration

Kit taped off the stripes for me and I rolled the stripes on. The best part of something like this is that the cost was paint. Everything else I had! Wait, I take that back. The mirror is a recent purchase. But, everything else I had! Ha!
Before & After





We love it!
Happy Monday!! :-)

Paddle boating

Yesterday in between house projects and yard work, the boys went paddle boating. Kit said he got a good workout in and the boys were mesmerized!! :-)

11 months

He's 11 months and in one way it doesn't seem possible and in another I feel like he's been with us always. I know I'm behind on monthly posts. But the pictures are stuck on my camera and the posts have been written so when I can combine the two, I'll get them added. Right now tho he's at such a cute stage. Into EVERYthing, super smiley, trying to climb and loves to dance anytime you put in some music. He's learned to scream when he doesn't want a brother to take away a toy, tries to keep up with them but will also just stare at them trying to figure out his crazy brothers. He's a cuddler and a pro at feeding himself now.


We love you, Sweet Wells!

A week in San Antonio

Last week Kit had an entire week of travel for work. The boys & I decided to pack up & head to my sisters for the week. I'm so glad we did! It made the week go faster & we are so excited to be near family!!! My nephew had a big hiking trip at the end of the week so the boys loved trying on the backpack and going to a few stores to finish getting a few items he needed...boy heaven!





We even got to have lunch with C&E at school one day! The boys thought they were BIG stuff :).


The bluebonnets are so beautiful we just had to snap of pic of dubs in the bluebonnets!


We got to go to Trinity University's campus to watch E at diving practice. Porter says he wants to dive someday! :)


Of course what would the week be without a trip or two or three...to Target! Ha!!


Having too much fun at REI


Playing at the park one night...Wells is a good kisser! :-)


It's been a month now since we've lived in the house and I'm finally getting the itch to start decorating and making the house more ours! Hopefully we'll get a few projects done soon and I'll start posting pics :) {beautiful tulips provided by the hubs}.


Kit has traveled every week since we've moved but THIS week he's scheduled to be home every night and we are all SO excited about that!!!

P {just because!}

He isn't the oldest, he isn't the youngest but one thing is for sure...there is only ONE Porter. He's energetic and giggly, silly and loud, passionate and fiery, love able and charming, sweet and a little dare devil.
Pman, Sweet P, Poe, Poor Poor, Porter Pie, Porter the Pumpkin eater, Pecan Porter, Porter Patrol, PRC,
You keep us laughing, praying on our knees longer


and the ER on speed dial....:).
Love you so much P diddly doo,
Momma
