Porter James Fulks

Drum roll please........After a week of deliberation, we decided on the name....
Porter James
aka "PJ"Mo Mo and Po Po

My favorite thing....

If only I had nothing else to do.................but this............I don't think he would complain much about it.

WHATS HIS NAME IS HERE!!!

So he was suppose to come on Tuesday, but in true Fulks fashion no one was going to tell him what he was going to do. Toni was feeling some contractions yesterday, but at about 5 pm they suddenly turned serious. We went to the hospital about 6:30 and by 11:13 we had a new baby boy. His name is Porter or Emmett. We haven't decided and when we ask we usually get a 50/50 split. He weighed in at 8 lb 6oz and 21 inches. Both he and Toni are doing very well.





And then there was...ATTACK OF THE SIBLINGS!!!

The Zoo and Eating a Piece of Garbage...

Since I am feeling a little better and realized this baby is gonna stay put until they pull him out Tuesday, I decided to take the kiddos to the zoo. Just wanted to post a few random pics. Morgan squealed at every bird and did not want to move on to the next exhibit. She was equally thrilled with the monkeys........until they peed on the window.
I love all of the animals that the kids can climb on in the Idaho Falls Zoo. Good thing too because the real Tiger was MIA.
This was the best pic that I could get of all of us. I think it is pretty funny....good effort!

On a funny side note, later that night we went to eat @ Red Robin and William ordered a strawberry lemonade. He took a huge slurp from his straw and had this mortified look on his face that still makes me crack up as I remember him saying in a disgusted voice " I think I just ate a piece of garbage!" I was a little confused until I realized he had sucked a piece of strawberry up through his straw. I was immediately in tears.....It's a pregnancy thing. I could not stop laughing long enough to explain to the rest of the table what was so funny. My eyes are watering right now as I relive the moment. It was so random, but so hilarious. You had to see look on the kids face...... priceless.

Home Sweet Home

I have been waiting for this for over a year. Our house has had one lonely decoration up for just over a year. I mean literally, there was one thing on our walls. I didn't want to decorate until my Rockstar Sis could make it out to help me with it. I have harassed her for months now making sure that she had time to spend a couple days @ my house. Well the time is finally here. I love working with my sis because she is not afraid to do something new and out of the box. I am so excited with how it turned out. We still need to decorate, but I wanted to get pics up before I have this baby. So, here you have it, drum roll please.......
This is the before.....
And here is the after! Ta-dah!





I LOVE it so much and can't wait to finish it off with some decor and side tables. The curtains took FOREVER, but are so worth it. My sis stayed up until 6:30 the first night painting, and then til 4:00 or so last night finishing the curtains and cleaning my house. She is the best ever and I don't think I will ever be able to re-pay her. Thanks again T

Phineas VS, Darth Maul!

Happy Birthday Kiddos!
Darth Maul-
Grey bear's birthday was today, and Morgan's is tomorrow so we decided to throw a joint birthday bash this evening. All Grey wanted was a Darth Maul cake. He has been talking about it for over a month. I designated Brian to do Grey's cake. When he saw it, he was overjoyed!

AND so excited to be four!

Does his expression not say it all? I asked him what his favorite part of today was and promptly replied "Eating my Darth Maul cake and all of the frosting"

Phineas- (or as Morgan calls him "Ferb")
I am thrilled with Morgan's current obsession with "Phineas and Ferb" on the Disney channel. I have always loved this cartoon, it totally cracks me up and now I have someone to watch and laugh with. She is particularly obsessed with Ferb (who is actually Phineas) She also was thrilled with her cake and responded with "Ferb! Ferb cake nummy"
Cake time did not come soon enough, she asked all day to eat Ferb.
If you have to share a birthday, at least they don't need to share a cake. Quite the pair!
Cake anyone? We have a little bit left over :)


Bear also was thrilled to have his VERY OWN mini Star Wars figures and doesn't need to break, I mean, borrow, William's anymore. He aslo got Rex from "Toy Story", whom he used to gobble up the Star Wars figures. Spoiled.....and very loved.
I was so excited to give Mo her Phineas doll. She squealed when she opened it. She also got a baby that squawks and says momma, she squealed when she opened the baby. And some littlest pet shop animals which her brothers gave her, which she promptly kissed after opening. And zoomed her My little Pony car for a good portion of the evening. SPOILED! She is such a good girl, and a little spoilage isn't so bad right?

The 4th, a few days late

I didn't get many pics from the 4th this year, but we had a great one, and here are a few from the parade in IF. We hit the parade first on the 3rd (brrrrrrrrrrr...it was so cold! 53 degrees, windy and overcast) then we had a barbecue with Bri's family, and later that evening went to the fireworks. It was a great day and we had a blast.Here is the crew anxiously awaiting the onslaught of candy. I love that my jacket is hiding my ginormous belly!
Mo, sharing some hot cocoa with daddy. Ha! Hot cocoa on the 4th of July! Only in Idaho.
Cold, yet patriotic.
On a final note, I have to say that I was somewhat disappointed on the turnout of tootie frooties candies at the parade this year :( Didn't get my fill. Guess I will have to go and buy a 5lb bag to satisfy that craving.....
