Porter - The entrepreneur

So Porter is SO determined to have his own business. Yesterday he made "S" out of paper clips and sat on the curb waiting and waiting.... He even made his own sign. It was HOT, but he wasn't about to leave without selling "S". And HE DID!!! He actually had people buy some!!! 7 to be exact!!! Nice people around here :)

Week in review!

This week was a lot of fun! Micah turned 9 on Thursday! We can't believe he's 9 already! He had a birthday party with his buddies on Saturday and they had a blast! Also on Saturday Porter had his first Pinewood Derby!! Jace and Porter spent a long while getting "The Bullet" ready for the big race! His car raced many times and did very well. Micah loved the chance to get some ideas for his derby coming up at the end of the month.

Hope you all having fun in life with WHATEVER comes your way!!
