In a typical Utah spring, it's not uncommon for the weather to be in the 70's one day and then snowing and in the 30's the next. Last week Jayce went to work when it was kind of overcast outside and while he was at work our backyard turned into a winter wonderland for a while. By late afternoon the sun came out and everything melted. Jayce came home from work and had no idea it had snowed. When I showed him some of the pictures of the boys playing outside earlier in the day his reaction was, "Wait. This was today?! No way. This was today?? That's crazy!" I have spent 6 years of my life in Utah, but the weather never ceases to surprise me.


The BYU ballet program had the first of many annual reunions and it was a blast! A yoga class and a ballet class for the alumni, we got to watch the current Theatre Ballet girls in class, and we got to do a  speed dating activity with the alumni/current students. One of the girls currently on Theatre Ballet even knows my sister-in-law's family and said she has babysat my nephews. Small world! 

It was well organized and fun to see some old friends that were still in the area. I hadn't taken a ballet class in several years, so that was a killer, but it was SO FUN. It brought back a lot of fun memories. :-)


I had to park a ways away (because parking at the Field House/RB is STILL ridiculous) but it was even more fun because I got to walk my old path to the RB just like old times. As soon as I got into the RB and saw students studying on benches and going about their daily schedules I got so excited. I had to stop myself from stopping at every student and saying things like, "Did you know that I used to go here?! I used to sit on this bench JUST LIKE YOU!" or "Isn't the RB the best ever?! Do you love it here? I love it here! Wanna go to the dance trainer's office together? Wanna go to your next class together?? Wanna go up and down in the old elevator a hundred times??!"

Needless to say I had a great time. Until next year!!

Spencer's Birth Story

Image
After those last days of trying my hardest to push away the heightening anticipation of Spencer's arrival, he finally arrived two weeks ago today! Now those days seem so far away. It's amazing how quickly the tables turn. Your life seems to be building up to one particular moment for so long and then all of a sudden you're on the other side of that moment and it's like life has never been any different. Here is the last "belly picture" I took before his arrival and I only thought about it because my parents had requested one. The difference between the first and the fourth kid I guess. This was just a couple of days prior to his birthday. Well, for all of you birth story enthusiasts and for my posterity, here is the story if you so wish to read it. Fair warning: it's probably going to be long. I woke up on Monday morning with that "my due date was yesterday and now I'm just depressed that he's not here yet" feeling. I was a...

Welcome to the World Aiden Titus

Image
Something big arrived in the Porter Family early in the morning on September 29! He's big, he's blonde, and he has kisses all over his chunky cheeks...welcome to the world Aiden Titus Porter!  He was my second largest baby weighing in at 8 lb 10 oz, his abundance of blonde hair is reminiscent of Cameron, he's the 17th grandchild on the Porter side and the 14th on the Terry side and he came into the world fast and furious like his next-older brother, Spencer. He also completes the Porter basketball team. Summer Olympics 2032, here we come! Now where's a coach?    The Story The week of my due date my goal was just to stay relaxed and not get fixated on when Aiden might/might not arrive. The "Anything happening in there?!" questions are always well meant (and I totally ask them of other preggos too, it's just too exciting when someone is about to deliver!) but they make me feel like I should have control over something I do...

Mom's Gone

Image
My Mom died in the early hours of June 29 of complications from pneumonia. She was one month shy of her 67 th birthday. I’ll be processing everything from the morning of her death to the day she was buried for a long time. I’m so grateful that I was able to talk to my mom just two days before she passed. I had sat down at my computer after rocking Spencer to sleep and it was quiet time in the Porter house. My mind went blank as soon as I sat down and I relaxed, which is abnormal because I usually feel torn between doing ten things at once when I sit down to “get stuff done” during quiet time. So I thought, “Well, what should I do? It’s been a while since I talked to Mom...” When I asked her how she was she answered, “Well, actually not so good,” and she explained that she had just come home from the doctor’s office where she found out that she had pneumonia.   She filled me in on some details from her appointment and how she had been feeling recently. My mom has had and ...
