Stroller impact

You guys, we love the Porterfield's kids. They're like the perfect mix of crazy, fun, cute and sassy. They were outside playing when we arrived and my annoying day melted away!

No, this is not a doll. Jocelin is really just that cute! 

Jackson's day off this week was Thursday so he made our new stand-by, the mandarin orange salad, and a new potato salad recipe. Both dishes were awesome and paired with the Porterfield's porkchops made for an awesome meal. Of course Heidi's s'more dessert didn't hurt my evening, either. ;)

This was better than a s'more. No, I didn't know it was possible. 

Fear not, I found the recipe (http://www.bakedperfection.com/2008/07/smore-cookie-bars.html?m=1) online. This is a wonderful find. You won't regret ingesting the 90,000 calories this dish must contain.

Jax is SO SHY! ;)

Jax is still working on doing #2 on the potty. He took Jackson to the bathroom with him and showed how quickly he could get his pants off (HAAAA!), informed Jackson that pooping his pants while in the bathroom was acceptable (baby steps, I guess) and then asked if I (Jenna) had a penis, too. I've never laughed as hard at a story as I did this one. Ohhh Jax! He even wore a fish shirt for our visit. No wonder we love this kid!

"Baby" J is quite mobile and busy these days! 

She stopped to hang out with Jackson for a minute 

They shared a moment and then she left... :)

She loved my phone and even got a photo of us playing with it! 

After Jocelin went to bed Jax and I tried to take down Jackson. The result? Well, it is the funniest video ever. Thank goodness Heidi was taking a video with my phone because I don't ever want to forget how funny this was.

I'd like to point of my favorite things in the video: Gunner trying to take down Jax, the baby still strapped in the stroller, Jackson's Nancy Kerrigan-like "oh my knee!" and Jax's sheer happiness after he  connects with Jackson's knee. I almost died from laughter after this. I'm not kidding. It was just beyond hilarious. We still have no idea how Jax got the idea to go grab the stroller, but I'm glad he did!! ;)  

To prove that Jax isn't just a little wrestler, I'm attaching my interview with him about starting preschool. I got this idea from my sister. I'll have to have her send me Alex's interview. It was pretty funny, too! I love that he has to think about the questions while enjoying some strawberry milk. He cracked me up with his plan to spend 4 years with Miss Lisa. She clearly impressed him during their first meeting. ;) 

Thanks, as always, for letting us get our grandchildren fix, Porterfield parents. We'll be sure to come back again soon!
