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!)

Gotta love a man in uniform!

Look at this kid, every women's fireman dream!!

What a heart breaker I have got here, not to mention his amazing girlish figure, lol!

-Really tho, he looked hilarious, I just couldn't resist!

I had taken him swimming and when got back

to the house he had worked up quite the

appetite, but wasn't quite done playing, so he

would chow down and run off to play! (theres that girlish figure I had mentioned above)

I added this little sweet potato to cool all you ladies off! (Yes I have the tendency to nickname my kids after veggies, Holden was my squashy! So yummy)

The men in my life....

Because of fathers day I got'ta thinking of the men in my life.........I have the most amazing men in my life.....there's

My dad....
the best example and person I have ever known..

My Brothers.......

These guys would defend me until the end! Few people ever messed with me because of these guys. (actually my sisters probably would have wasted on anybody to!)


And the man I adore, my absolute favorite person in the world, the hardest worker, and most handsome guy around....my husband!
Hopefully these two little boys can grow up to be like these ^ guys! (and yes Holden is wearing Noahs clothes, she is a weirdo)

Of course I could add a lot of guys to this list, My grandpas, Russ, Zack, brother in laws, there are so many. I am a lucky girl...

So, Thanks Guys!!

**On a different note, all family, and whoever else wants to know =) We will be blessing Knox on the fourth of July in New Castle. I think sacrament is at 11:45?
