The Porter House: Valentine's Day Orchid

Valentine's Day Orchid

For Valentine's Day this year, Ryan got me an orchid! Isn't it so beautiful? I just love it and I've never had one before. Ryan thinks it's a waste of money to buy already cut flowers. So, whenever he gets me flowers, it's usually in a plant to last longer. Great idea, right? I got him nothing but his favorite: Lindt Dark Chocolates. Chocolates and flowers. We're so predictible.

I am a happy, positive person. I worked as a elementary teacher for 6 years. But, I have always wanted to be a wife and stay-at-home mom. Even though my life is full of stress & hum-drum duties, I feel extremely blessed.

I love to blog. It brings together my love of journaling (since I was 7 years old!) and taking pictures. My favorite things are playing with my kids, going for "family outings", running, lifting weights, playing tennis, and Zumba. I also like playing the piano and am currently learning the guitar.

Kids Say the Darndest Things!

"Mom, I painted at school today. I chose red which is a mono chromatic color!"
"Mom, Josh throwed pie in my face!" -Nathan after Josh pretended to throw pie in his face.
"Mom, that's gifusking!" -Nathan
Josh likes to say "Meow" randomly. At dinner time he said this, then I said "neigh" and Ryan said "woof". Nate then chimed in and said, "moo!" with a big ol' grin on his face. It was our first official dinner conversation as a family of 4!
"Jesus died on the cross 3 times...once the first day, once the second day, and once the third day." (when summarizing our FHE Easter lesson)
"Let's turn the dark on."
"Mommy, where does Jesus live?" "Ummm...." "He lives in the temple, Mommy!"
"Mommy, are you a princess?" "Yes I am a princess, are you my prince?" "No, I'm a Big Boy!"
The trend continues..."Josh, what do you want for dinner?" "Food."
"Josh, what do you want for Christmas from Santa?" "Christmas presents!!"
When asked what Josh wanted to be for Halloween, his reply was, "A Costume".
"Mom, he's a REAL baby (talking about Nathan)."
"It's higher and higher...I can't reach it!"
"Naters...you my friend...you my best friend."
"Look, Mom...it's a banana moon!"
