The great hostesses! Cassie, Candice, Tesha and Katie...Thanks girls!

This weekend we had my shower for Parker at my friend Cassie's house, so special that was where Payton's sip and see was! My friends did AWESOME, and the shower was soo great. Parker got some wonderful things, and it was so good to see friends that I haven't seen in a long time. Sharon, my friend from D.C. has moved back to arkansas and she came up with my mother in law and brian's cousins.

My Great Uncle Bob

Weekend before last, I mananged to make it home to Little Rock with Parker and Payton for my Great Uncle Bob's funeral. He was such a wonderful man, and as much as it was sad to see him go, it really was such a blessing. And now, he is with the Lord and that is even better! One of the great things about this weekend was that all of my mom's brothers and her sister made it into town, and they haven't all been together since my wedding! It was so wonderful to see them all. They got to meet Parker too which was such good timing.

Meeting Family

this past weekend we went to little rock for my great uncles funeral (more pics of that later) and we went over to brian's parents house so parker could meet his great grandpa porbeck and his uncle nate. we had a great night and payton loved playing outside with "unc" and it was so special for grandpa to get to be with parker!

Parker Robert Porbeck

He is here! After much anticipation and guessing....it is a boy! I cannot tell you how shocked I was! I said that I thought it was a boy, but the reality when he arrived had me laughing. I just couldn't believe it....a boy. He is precious and more perfect than words. He arrived at 1:37pm on Wednesday. We stayed in the hospital for 2 days to get some rest, and when we arrived home Payton was so excited to see us! She did the big sister dance....so cute. We have had some adjusting to do at home with her, but overall she is doing pretty good. We will just have to see how things go!

Hello Big Red!

Payton reads her book, "Hello Big Red" close to everyday...during football season, she would look for him, but never wanted to get close. Until today!! She kept saying that she was going to give him a hug and a high -five. She said she would even take a picture with him... and she did! We were so proud of our little hog fan!

Mommy's Make-up

I think these pictures explain it all! My little soccer player, and ruff and tumble girl...can be pretty girly! She loves make-up and decided to get into a little mascara! Smartie she knows it goes on your eyes...she is the most observant little girl I have ever met. She actually wanted to keep it on, and I had to do some real cohersing to get it off before we went out of the house!

First Soccer Practice!

Run Payton Run!!

Kicking her first goal!

Payton celebrating after she kicked her first goal!

Go Huskies!
Payton had her first soccer practice on Thursday and it was a success! I think the parents had just as much fun watching as the kids did playing! Our friend Alesha is the coach, (presley's mom) and she did a great job! The kids all took turns kicking the ball into the goal and then running down the field.They all put their hands in and said, "go Huskies!!". It was so cute! It sure was a chilly practice, and hopefully our games will be warmer, or this mom will have a hard time watching!
