we're already 1/2 way through July?!!?

All right, so I love when my girlies and I look back at old posts on the bliggity blog and the journal it is for our family, (we love to look at pictures of ourselves) so sorry for not sparing you... I'm sure you've already seen a hundred posts about fathers day and 4th of July, but here's our version... Porter style :)

Lee's mom is so fun and cute and hosted a Sew and Swim for all the girl grandkids. She had all the things ready to make a father's day treat too.

We spent all afternoon making them, and the girlies were so super excited to give them to their dad! They begged all day to eat the extra one :) Lee said it was weird because it looked like a burger, but tasted like a dessert. The idea and templates were from bakerella and super fun and easy for the kids to do. Thanks Marlane! So fun!

Up next....

Lee and I went to San Diego for the weekend. Huge thanks to the fletchers for coming to watch our kids... although our girlies did learn a thing or two from you that I'm not sure I appreciate:
-"please bless the food that it won't kill us"
-delia- "Laura said its ok to pee in the pool"
-etc.
One of the mornings we went to the San Diego Temple. So beautiful! Oh wait.. you thought I meant me and my big belly?... oh no I meant the Temple! And nice how it was the end of June and TONS of people were getting married. It must not be the desert aka AZ.
Our Hotel was the Hyatt right in the Harbor and outside our hotel was seaport village.

I remember it being cooler when I was younger. Hmmm... I guess the magic shop and Navajo flute-ists were cooler back then.
But you know what was still cool? The weather! Holy Cow! We might have just parked it on a bench and did one of my all time favorite activities...... people watched. You can never go wrong with people watching :)

Well.... back to the hot weather and the fourth of July!
We pretty much swam all day. Maybe that was the cause of delia's delerium and her jumping off the diving board pretty much straight at the deck. I thought for sure she had knocked out a few teeth... but, she just popped her chin open. The classic childhood scar. Good thing we were at the Martineaus! Their fireman dad slapped a butteryfly bandage on it and we were good to go!

We played with 15 years old fireworks.... I think the sparklers were fresh.

speaking of fresh... Lee and Shaun had a good time with the fire :) I was a little nervous with the dads and fireworks, but no extremities were lost.

We forgot to eat our patriotic suckers, but all in all... still one of my favorite holidays! Up next.... Girls Camp (at 35 weeks pregnant) I'll let ya know how that goes :)
