Lost

Ryan and I started watching Lost when he had his accident at work and was home for three months. That was August 2006. We have been dedicated fans since. The first two seasons we got to enjoy on dvd and then we watched it the traditional way...episode by episode. While I didn't always know what was going on in this show I defiantly fell in love with the characters. That is what this show was really all about.
I think that there was a lot of fluff, but it always kept me interested. I haven't faithfully watched any other show in the last 4 years.
Its funny trying to explain what is going on in Lost to a person who has never watched before. It is practically impossible! The more you say the more ridiculous it sounds. But it makes sense if you are keeping up with it! (For the most part that is ;)!
One of the best parts of watching Lost over the last four years was sharing it with Ryan. It was one of those rare shows that we both enjoyed. I also really loved to call Roy the next day and ask him what he thought of the latest episode.
Anyway, while the ending left some things unsaid it also left me with a sense of peace. That they were all together and happy at last. It was great to see all the couples together and defiantly made me cry a little. I'll miss watching this show.

Porter's 7!!!!!!

My little Porter is 7 years old! I know its a few days late but I still wanted to give him a little blog attention!! What an amazing kid Porter is! He is kind, generous, loving, funny, friendly, sincere and everything in between.

When I woke him up on his birthday he slowly started moving around and stretching and all of a sudden he opened his eyes and looked up at me and said " I'M 7!!!!...YES!" It was awesome! And that is how he is. He is just so excited about everything. About life!

Everyone loves Porter! When I go to pick him up at his school I realize how well known he is! We walk down the hall and everyone from kindergarten to 5th grade is waving hello to him and sayin' hi! Porter just soaks it up, wavin' back and pointing with both hands(like spiderman does in spidey 3.) So friendly!! He makes up for whatever he lacks in size just with his huge personality.

Here are some of Porter's favorites right now:

Food: Spaghetti

Color: Blue

Movie: Iron Man

Tv Show: Ben 10

"Pet" aka stuffed animal: 'Stitch' the bear

Friends: Mairyn and Brenden

Porter- You are one amazing kid! You make me laugh with your sing song voice, you make my day when you call me princess, and you warm my heart with your kindness. I love you more than you will ever know and I am so blessed to have you in my life! Have a great time being 7!
Love, Mom

PORTER ROCKS!!!!!!!!

Arizona Wedding

Congratulations to Cory and Mckenzie!!!!!

We were so lucky to be able to drive down to Arizona this past weekend to be there for Ryan's baby brother, Cory's wedding! It was just beautiful. So well put together and the bride looked gorgeous!
We enjoyed a wonderful (and HUGE) rehearsal dinner meal at Rustler's Rouste at the Pointe on South Mountain on Friday with the whole family. It was so much food!! We each got like a half of a bar-b-que chicken...literally, half. It was awesome. We had a lot of fun catching up with the family too, it is so much fun to be with Ryan's siblings and their spouses. I love each and every one of them! It'll be so fun to get to know Mckenzie better!

Owen with the only 2 girl cousins(out of 11!) on Ryan's side, Amaya and Kiley...go figure! He is such a ladies man, lol!

Hayden with his cousins Carson and Kade

This picture cracks me up because it was soooo hot and my poor little Utah boys were totally melting in it. They all look so miserable haha

Ryan's parents with Porter! This is a great picture of them! He just loves his Grandma and Grandpa Allen!

We really had a wonderful time in Arizona even though it was super hot! It was nice though to warm up. It snowed in Cache Valley while we were gone so I shouldn't complain about the heat too much!

It looks like Cory and Mckenzie are going to spend the summer in Utah so she can finish up with school so I really hope that we will get a chance to get to know her better and them as a couple!

Look at that she is already taking care of her man ;) haha
