What to post about...

A lot has been happening so I have of course posted about nothing cause I couldn't decided what to post about. Backwards right? So I decided I would post about everything in a MEGA post. (insert applause here)

My first Mother's Day was wonderful because it didn't start till 10am HURRAY! I came down to a super happy baby, presents, and flowers. If only ever day could start like that...

Sorry for the face that doesn't express my joy. I wasn't that happy to see the camera, even amidst the presents.




Porter was adorable for church that day and he had his "big boy" shoe debut. It didn't last long because he doesn't appreciate shoes or socks but he looked great for the picture. 

Phillip also had a reason to celebrate that day as his birthday fell on Mother's Day this year. He turned 26 and when asked what kind of cake he wanted he requested yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting. A classic, that is why I love him.


I only used 1 candle to avoid a fire hazard at the Ferrins, but Will was still right there to help just in case Phillip couldn't handle it.

Happy Birthday Phillip, I couldn't love you more! O and if you are wondering where Porter was for his father's festivities he was climbing the stairs over and over again :( Yep, he has figured out the stairs and is addicted.

I have been working on a bunch of random projects that I will post about later but here is a taste. My beautiful pillows. At least beautiful from afar...

Phillip has been working on the Boston Temple grounds and loving it. He loves learning a new skill and has had the best teacher Paul who is a genius when it comes to landscaping. But he was offered a job with Genzyme a large biotechnology company and he starts next week. So no more playing/working outside it is back to the indoors with a desk and a 401K.
This was taken on our last trip to the temple and I took this particular picture for Quin, my 7 year old nephew, who helped plant the bulbs that are now the beautiful flowers you see. Well done Tin-Man!

That is a few of the highlights and I will try and share more soon. Porter and I have begun our final countdown towards our Utah trip to visit and stay with kiddies while my sister goes to Paris. Just 2 more weeks...
