Rain!!

Hi!! So, I am going to try and do a lot of catching up on some of my favorite events over the last little bit, so I don't have to scrapbook them all! And I left my camera out at the ranch and so I don't have my current pictures anyways.

This is in Farmington.> The day before we moved we had a yard sale, and it totally got rained out, but Holden had a blast!! I love summer rains! He was just laying in the road loving it!

He has such a fun personality! (you cant hardly tell, but it was just POURING!!)

Fitzwater news: We are doing good! I actually quite like Elko. It is nicer then I thought it would be, people are really nice to. We moved into an apartment, but it hasn't been bad at all. It seams more like a little private community. It has a nice park, and is right across the street from the church, golds gym, and a huge city park. We love rye's work schedule! He works like five on, five off, four on, four off! We have spent most of our time off out at the ranch! I will post some pictures when I get my camera!

Pretty hill'Billy!

So, we have been up to some pretty fun stuff! Since we have had some time at home we have been doing some things with our kids that we loved to do when we were little. One in which, that was my favorite was crawdading! I loved doing this when I was little! And we did have a ton of fun. We just tied some chicken on a rope and went for it. Holden had a blast. And I think it made for some fun scrap booking pictures.

Well, we finally found a house!! We didn't get anything many of you thought we may have gotten. We totally chickened out of buying. Were just to wishy washy about where we could end up. But we are renting a apartment!!! Don't ask me how I am going to manage, but i will =)

Rye is doing great. He leaves for Texas in about a week and 1/2 for some job training. So that will suck for me! Did I mention we are leaving tomorrow! I dont even know where walmart is...I am so naive, huh..... oh well, at least I have a GPS.. I have got a ton of blogging catching up to do, so get sick of me!

little knoxy! he slept the whole ride back! My elbows were so bruised from not being able to support myself!I totally had no where to feed Knox at! So, his seat had to do! (oh by the way....my hair no longer looks like a rotten pineapple anymore .....so sad!) it's just brown =)

this is what happens when you leave him unbuckled...

Knoxer'Roo is 4 months!!!

He loves his daddy and big brother!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this boy! and if you have met him, you do to. He is such a sweet heart. I can not believe how big he is getting. I dont know his measurements because he has not had is appointment yet, but he is already in some 12 month old clothes! he is so tall...But here are some Knox facts:

-He loves to have naked bum!! He gets so exited!
-He loves momma, such a mommy's boy
- He rolls clear across rooms, and also can army crawl useing his head!
-Holden drives him crazy up close, but from a distance he LOVES HIM! -He eats like a homeless man, (which has been nice for weight loss ;) and eats rice cereal for dinner.
- He loves his voice, and loves to sing hymns in sacrament meeting!
- He is a Binky boy
-AND he makes his mommy so happy!

.......We love him

summer cuz'n fun

Probably the best part about being home is spending time with family! Holden and I have had so much fun hanging with the grandmas and my sisters and their kids. These pictures are of a music festival my dad played in. I love the picture of Holden and Lincoln just standing by the stage cheering for grandpa!! (both with pops in their hands!) I love that my dad still has fun. He is so talented at so many things.



We are doing good. I have really been just enjoying the time I have here, because I Know it will end. We don't have the Internet or tv! So, when I get a chance I Love to check up on everyone=) I think when we get our house I will just leave it this way, it's been kinda nice not having tv/Internet, and I actually have not even noticed. Nothings changed with the housing department, the kids are wonderful, Rye is doing good, I am doing good, but I did hack my hair off and go blond =/ ......kinda scary, and it's a funny story, but hopefully next week I will get the cut fixed! Rye says he is exited to come home to a whole new women!


making up after a fight...kinda cute)

Our CRAZYness

Well.....We sure have had a very CRAZY life lately! So Kinda for journaling purposes I am going to give the run down =)

Why we moved: Rye is the man! that's why.....haha j/k, he got a wonderful job at a mine in Elko, nv. He has been there only a week and has already been put on one of the best crews you can get on. He is doing what some guys have been working to get to do for 10 + years!!

first of August: We packed our house up in less then a week. And it totally sucked =( and =( and lets add one more sad face =( haha, j/k. It was so rushed and three days before we were supposed to be moved I got food poising, probably the worst thing that has ever happened to me!!! So, that made it really hard. Ryes, WONDERFUL parents came down and loaded and moved us! We would be dead with out them! I have many pictures of the fun, that I will post later!

August: Rye spend two days with me, then started his job in elko. He lives with our wonderful aunt and uncle. He loves the job......But I miss him..... I have been chilling in his parents guest house, which is amazing!!! They live in the most beautiful area! ......But I miss Rye.

End of August: I am still homeless, and my husband is still living in NV. We have had NO luck finding a place to rent. It is ridicules there!!! High prices and dumpy places. So, we are starting to house shop.....I know this is so dumb, but we really have no choice. It is really scary for me. Hopefully we wont have to go through with it! .......pray for rentals!

NOW!: I just got back from my first trip to Elko, and..... I LOVE IT!!!! I am so exited to move there. We spent all weekend with rye's parents in Eureka. They have a home there and a ranch. (it's only an hour and 1/2 from Elko) We had a blast! We have so much fun family there. Literally these people are a party. We helped do some remodeling, house hunted, and stayed out at the ranch. We are in for a happy life up there, which makes me so exited. Now if we can only find a home, because next long trip with Knox, may be his last trip..........freaking ever.

So, Thats the latest and the greatest. I have a ton of photos to add! But I have misplaced my card. So I added some mobile uploads from my phone!! Just some random fun.
I feel like this is the cutest picture ever!

and this one to......

Holdens new mother is Noah! He could chill all creepy like all day with her on the front lawn if I let him!Remeber I said he is so bad to travel with. Well, I finally got so sick of him crying that I moved him up front, (i know thats bad) But he just poked his head over the seat like this and giggled at me the whole way......little stinker! Ps, thats not his blanket, it's my hooter hider, he loves to chew on it???
Hoges first yard camp out!

Full of Fashion?

Holden's Diaper is full..............Full of *FASHION!*

When he goes #2.......He looks like a NUMBER 1!!

I literally just watched that commercial, which kills me every time, and walked right out side to this < and was like "Now that's a diaper full of some Fashion!"

(I swear I dont neglect my kids, thats his morning load, pretty full!)

Knoxy poos special day!

We were so lucky to be able to go home and bless Knox. It turned out wonderful! Thanks to all who came, helped, made salads, and just made us feel so loved! I couldn't believe how many people came to support us. I feel like new castle ward must hate us! j/k. I took so many pictures and so I added a ton.

Knox is such a special guy, I seriously adore him. He just had his two monther, and he is 25 inches long (95% tile!) and 13 pounds! He is so sweet, and loves to cuddle and be smiled at. Thanks little goosey for giving us a reason to have a gigantic Moyle, Woods, Fitzwater Reunion!

You are SOOOOO LOVED!





(you are sooo very handsome)


Dont Forget about this little stinker! ( with his cousin Lincoln)


Three Generations of Listers! (some awesome fellas) and some family.

WHY??

Ok, so I know I have been blogging to much lately and your probably like, Does Portia have a life??? I just had to throw as many posts in as I could over the last few days because I sent my blog in to get printed into the cutest book! I found what I think to be the best company to do it. I looked through the preview and I am so exited for it to get here. I think it will be one of my most cherished things. My own little family journal. I just had to explain myself, and why I have been such a loyal blogger.
(I'll let you know how it turns out!)
