Porter turns 3

I don't know how it happened so fast, but today my tiny (not tiny, actually) firstborn turned 3. Talk about bringing tears to a mamas eyes! I am so proud of this hilarious, sometimes too smart, handsome, witty, precious boy! I don't know how I got lucky enough to be his mama, but I wouldn't trade a day of it! 

Before I forget any details of this wonderful day, here goes...

We started the day off with a donut breakfast. Daddy went to get donuts and surprised Porter with his favorite kind, pink icing with sprinkles. We put a candle in it and sang happy birthday. He loved it! And savannah slept a little late this morning, so we got some special time with just him. 

(Sissy got to have one when she woke up) 

Then he opened a couple presents in mommy and daddy's room. These presents were a plastic goat, cow, and coloring book/markers. His reaction to his cow was "sweet sassafras that's just what I wanted!" We were rolling!! This kid is hilarious! 

PopPop came over for a visit with the birthday boy and then we went to Sams and got cupcakes and met Daddy at OCharleys for lunch. The manager even brought him a special piece of pie that wasn't on the menu yet. 

We came back home for naps. (Even 3 year olds need their happy time!) After nap, we went to Blue Sky for dinner with Aunt Jesse, Mimi, Papaw, and Ciara and came back home for cupcakes and the rest of his presents. His other presents were a Tball set, football, basketball, soccer ball, and craft supplies. 

I think our sweet boy had a wonderful day! He finished the day snuggling in bed with mom and dad telling us all about the fun things he did that day. I hope that we can instill a true sense of joy and gratefulness in our children. I am so thankful for everyday that I am given to be my sweet babies' mommy! Happy Birthday my Porter! Mommy is so proud of you! 

Best Buds

These two have been the best of friends lately and it warms my heart so much to see them get along so well! This is exactly the relationship I hoped they would have. Don't get me wrong, I have to break up multiple wrestling matches daily, but it's mostly love here lately! 

Silly kids

My favorite thing about my kids' personalities is how silly they are! They keep us laughing! I have no idea where they come up with some of the things they say. Well Porter anyways, Savannah isn't saying much more than one word at a time just yet. Today Porter kissed Savannah and when she smiled he said, "Look Mommy, I gave her a happy face!" He loves his sissy. Then when I was changing her diaper, my phone rang. Porter came running to me and said "Mommy mommy you phone is calling you!" I told him thank you and he said "you so welcome mommy!" :) I am so glad to see my sweet boy returning after a full out year of terrible two's (that phrase is no joke!!). This was him helping me make cupcakes...

And Savannah is making this hilarious face lately! She even cracks herself up! I will sometimes hear her laughing in another room and know that she must have just made "the face"...

Photo shoots by Porter

Porter swiping my phone and taking photos has become quite the norm around here :) However, he did get some cute ones of he and Sissy the other night. 

(He must have thought she needed a kiss...)
