Happy Birthday Tate!!!

We celebrated our Tater's birthday this week...Twice. This is one of the perks of having half your family live three hours away, unless your one of the Porter Brothers, then its 2 hours 15minutes flat! So on Wednesday we had a wee party, then on Saturday we had a bigger one. Papa HP and Grandma Reda, Papa Charlie and Grandma Carol, Matt and Courtney, Lauren, Corinne and Maddy all made it to the festivities. We had a wonderful weekend eating cake and riding the 50s.(Hee hee...didn't we Corinne...Hee hee;) Lauren's got some more pics on her blog... but here are some i have of the boy on his Birthday. Man, he's growing up too fast...I just want to hug the guy!!!!

Halloween!!!

Here are the boys all decked out in the costumes...Porter was a hunter,
Tate was a lion, and Brooks was an ear of corn!Porter kept telling everyone that he was hunting one brother and going to eat the other! Man, i truly dislike Halloween...call me a party pooper, but i find no fun in people trying to scare each other or my children begging door to door. But what can you do? The boys do enjoy dressing up, and i do love to see all the sweet little princesses and fairies, no, I'm not talking about Trev's costumes the last few years! Hee, hee, that was funny... anyway, enjoy the pics!

Making Memories...

The Halloween pictures will have to wait...The boys went hunting...

It was open season for the Lewis Boys this morning. Trever got drawn for a unit 27 Mule Deer tag, and today was the first day of the hunt. He had our boys up at 4 this morning heading up towards Hanagan's Meadow. They found this "beast" around 7 and Trev couldn't pass up the chance of having his boys there when he filled his tag. He's a pretty little buck, a straight 4 point and the boys couldn't be more giddy about having their first big game hunting story!

Now, for all you "non-hunters" out there... just remember the circle of life, you can even hum the song to yourselves if you have to. (Aunt Yaya) And remember, these are memories that our boys are going to tell THEIR boys. And there is nothing sweeter in life than that!

The Pumpkin Patch

I thought I would go the extra mile and add our Pumpkin Pictures to everyone else. (Laura Lane Smith) For those of you who haven't made the trek up to see our little casa,(Laura Lane Smith) we have a Pumpkin Patch behind our house! Our subdivision is surrounded by farm land, so we get to watch the pumpkins, and corn grow every year! Now you can think we're cool...( Laura Lane Smith) So here are the boys, and Hunter (the grandson of the man who owns the farm) picking out their pumpkins .

The Boys Got Their Toys

Alright, alright, we made a few purchases... But before you start thinking we're cool, let me explain that notion right out of your head. These are the boys'(trever included) Christmas and Birthday presents until they are very old men. I'm so not kidding about this... I'm going out in our garage Christmas Eve and putting bows on them, then again for each of their birthdays. I'm going to milk this for all it's worth!
Tate got a little Quad. It needed a bit of TLC, so thanks to Uncle Tyson,it is purring like a kitten, or barking like a dog, either way, it's running. Now they both have their own set of wheels

Porter got a Yamaha 50, I say Porter but I mean me. I love this wee bit o' bike! I'm quite certain the neighbors are laughing their heads off at me, but I'm good with that. Last but not least, Trever got a Honda 250 Recon. It's perfect for taking little boys for rides in the woods and scouting for animals.

We're all about safety first around here!! This is Tate in all his gear. The guy we bought the bikes from through in the helmits, riding pants, shirts and boots. Sure beats pillows and ropes!

Matt's gettin Hitched

I know, i know, your thinking she's way too cute for him...

(just kidding Buba)

You all will be getting your announcements soon,

if your family, for the rest of you, enjoy the pic of two cute kids.

We are so exited to be getting another amazing sister-in-law, and wish these two love birds all the best.
