13 days old

Here's a picture of Porter, look how beautiful his complexion is, and how blue his eyes are.

Tummy time for Porter might not be his favorite time of day. He does like being held.

There is a field of orange poppies, a field of wheat and a field of multicolored poppies a few miles from our home. Last week Susan, (Savannah's mother) and I got to go with Blake, Savannah and Porter to take pictures of them in the fields. As Grandma's we had fun.

I just love this picture also. Being a grandma is incredible.

oops! friendship bread anyone?

10 days ago I got a friendship bread starter from my niece Heather. I have had some years ago and it was so much fun making the bread and giving the starter to friends each time a new batch of starter was ready. I made the bread yesterday, well I have a conviction oven that I need to learn to use, we have lived in our house 5 years and I only use the normal part of the oven. I preheated the conviction oven put the bread in and 30 minutes later (instead of 60 minutes like the recipe said) I could smell burnt bread. I was right, the whole crust was very burnt. As you can see in the picture I pulled of the burnt part and only ended up with a small little, but very tasty friendship bread. Brent suggested that I not show anybody that I give the starter to the picture. Because it is not really that picture perfect. If anybody would like a start to the bread let me know and I will give you some.

This is for Carissa

Welcome home Porter

Today Porter got to come home. Jared enjoying holding Porter.

Oops I do not know how to turn pictures yet. The picture was so cute I added it anyway. Grandpa, Daddy, aunt Amy, Jared and of course our little Porter.

Brent's new toy, actually Brent bought this car in 2002 as a fixer upper for him and Jared to work on. They started working on it and Brent just about has it finished. It's a 1957 Desoda Firesweep. Here is a side view.

Porter Jay Nelson, born July 11 2010 at 10:22 pm, 8 pounds 5 ounces, 21 inches. Blake and Savannah had their baby. As you can tell he loved stretching out under the heat of the warming bed.

As anybody seeing these pictures he is a mighty cute baby.
