Caleb's First Haircut

Caleb has had a few trims, but with his curly hair I didn't really want to cut it. 

 It was out of control though so I finally decided to buckle down and chop it.  I'm sure it's very uneven.  I'm more of a clippers type "beautician".  But, the curly hair hid all of the problems. :)

He looks so much better!

Considering how much hair is still on his head this is a pretty big pile!

 LOVE THIS BOY!!!

Look Up

I just had to add this to the blog so I can come back to it.  It hit me hard.  It's sad to watch us as "a people" become so unsocial in our world of technology.  We think we are becoming more social because we keep in touch with our old friends, but are we really living life?  Are we really paying attention to our children as much as we could be?  Are we in the moment? It has inspired me to do something.  I made a goal for myself because i waste too much time online. I am going to stay off of media sites and the internet during the unless it's a "need" and only check it once a day, in the evening.  If I can't do this I'm going to close my accounts.  I don't want my kids to be a part of this quote,  "We're surrounded by children who since they were born have watched us live like robots and think it's the norm."  I'm going to look up.

Conrad's Big Day!

Today Conrad was baptized and confirmed by Bo.  It was a great day celebrated with a lot of the family.  We are so happy with his decision to be baptized and are excited that he will be able to have the Holy Ghost in his life.  

We love you Conrad!  Congratulations on your first eternal step in life.

 Everyone who was there actually traveled at least three hours on Friday or early Saturday morning to be there.  It was a busy weekend for everyone and we are thankful that you could come.  Here are some pictures of him with grandparents (in no particular order, this is just how they loaded). :)

Random Caleb Update

It seems like Caleb is growing up fast and I don't have a lot on here about him.  So here are his 1 year pictures and some random cute ones.

I call him my little tornado.  He is into EVERYTHING and follows me around while I clean to be sure everything I put away is put right back into an easily accessible area for him.  But his sweetness evens it all out. :)

Favorite place in the house!

He wouldn't be a Porter boy if he wasn't constantly wanting something to eat!

Ignore the gross dirty face.

And It Has Begun!

Yes, now that Conrad is eight he is a cub scout.  Here's to the next 15+ years of Scouts!
