She says some of my favorites: "Ready daddy?" "Let's go, daddy!" and "Here you go."

what a ham

She is doing "this little piggy went to market..."


Making faces

spa treatment

The other day, Portia found a tube of diaper rash creme and decided to give herself a facial.



She got some in her mouth, hence the grossed out face.
(I had been making the grossed out face the whole time.)

After she had been tossed in the bath, I went in her room and found 2 baby dolls completely covered as well. Apparently, they needed facials too.

bear with me

lots of pictures, lots of videos.

4th of July, part two

On the 4th, we went to a cookout/pool party and here are some pictures!

Portia was a little weird about swimming, she wanted to swim all by herself, and didn't want to wear floaties at all! She thinks she's 12 years old.

Here's a picture of Brian trying to get on that green intertube.

And here's Brandon.
They couldn't stay afloat.





4th of July

Here are some pictures from our 4th of July!
We went to the fireworks show at Rhema, and Portia had fun running around until it got dark.



Here's Portia and Brandon waiting for the show to start.

And me and Grandma (Ignore my weird hair. I'm pregnant)

Portia watched the first half of the fireworks like this:
and then hid and tried to go to sleep for the rest! Poor girl.

its highly likely i'm a huge dork

We spent the 4th in Broken Arrow and Claremore with our families, it was great! We had cookouts and went swimming, saw fireworks and UFOs, it was a blast!
Wait, what? UFOs?!?
Saturday night, Brandon, Brian and I were driving into Claremore, when we saw something weird. Up in the sky, there were about 10 floating orange lights. At first we thought they mist be fireworks, but fireworks explode and these didn't. So we pulled over and watched them for a while, and they started to fly away, some going faster than others, and some just disappeared completely.
We were a little weirded out, at least I was. Let me clarify one thing: at no point did we think they were aliens. We weren't afraid of getting abducted or anything like that. We just couldn't figure out what they could be. Maybe weather balloons? Some kind of aircraft? We didn't know.
The next day, we were visiting with Brandon's cousin, Ben and his wife Cali, and we started to tell our story. They immediately knew what we were talking about. Had they seen them too? Maybe the floating whatsits had been seen by a lot of people! Is there some facebook group I should join?
Then Ben and Cali told us about some lanterns that they had seen as part of a fireworks display. They were amber-colored, and floated into the sky. Yeah. Lanterns.

I'm a little embarrassed.
