Summer Days

I LOVE summer days. It means swimming pools, flower beds, flip flops, shorts, heat, cabin, and good fruit! Here are some of our goings on in the last couple of weeks.


Porter's new little swimming buddy, Violetta.
Swim lessons for the very first time ever!

Practicing floating
Every day for three weeks Claire and I would get in the pool with Porter, but not this day, and she was VERY upset about it.

July 24, waiting to start the parade.
And they're off...
Claire was pretty proud of her big brother, who thought he "winned the race!"
Claire and Jonny (cousin 7 weeks older) on the back of Mark's bike...both really liked it
On her knees, getting dirty. What else does she do??

FAT kid in a LITTLE chair! :)

Daddy and Porter Fishing...didn't catch anything, but the thrill of throwing the line in, is beyond belief.

If she's not crawling in it, she's digging in it!

Happy Summer days!

Cute pictures! The one of Claire crying is so cute (and so sad :)!). Porter is such a big kid - it trips me out that you have a little boy that is that old!

Bethany said...

How cute! Love the picture of Claire, being sad (very sad) about not swimming.

Also - Hailey said the exact same thing ("I winned the race!") about the 4th of July parade when she was 3 years old. Too funny!

Annie said...

Pretty much you have the cutest kids ever. I love Claire's striped dress, sooo cute. I really need a little girl. I was laughing so hard at "Fat kid in a little chair"... He looks like a miniature man. Looks like you've been busy!

P.S. my plant is still alive and still has pink flowers on it!!! Love that thing, it's the best plant ever!

Matt and Jennae Porter said...

Hey Meghan! Ya I do edit my pics in photoshop. Wish it was all me though. And I love your summer pics...but can you please tell me where you are buying your good fruit? I have been so upset at Harmon's lately for selling crappy fruit. Maybe it's just cause I'm used to California's growers direct stores...with the freshest yummiest produce...

Diane Riding said...

Each picture of Claire is cuter than the one before. I smile each time I see them. Her crying is hilarious! What a little cutie pie she is! So glad my little Port is taking swimming lessons. Seeing his little hands above his head is so darn cute. Great family pictures too. You have the best way of saying things, honey. Your blog always makes me happy too! x0x0x0x0
