We had a great time with Porter’s blessing. My Mom and Dad spent Thursday night till Sunday night with us. It was SO great to have them here. We did a lot of cooking, playing, and having fun. We took them to Bass Pro Shops where we watched a swimmer feed the fish and stingrays. Kylie and Peyton enjoyed the mermaid swimming around and blowing them kisses. We saw tons of stuffed animals, even a real stuffed giraffe. The kids also enjoyed pretending to drive a boat. Chris’ sister, Jen, and her family joined us Saturday, which was lots of fun. Then the rest of his family (Michele, Brad, Brandon, Cody, Megan, Grandma and Grandpa Jorgensen, and a few of his uncles and family) came for a couple hours on Sunday. It was great to have lots of visitors.
It was so nice to have great support for Porter’s blessing. Porter looked so cute in his special white outfit. He wore the same outfit as Peyton did for his blessing, but it was a little tighter on Porter. :) Chris did a great job with the blessing and we will cherish the words spoken to Porter. We were thankful for all those worthy priesthood holders who could join in. It was special. Then we all headed to our house to visit and eat food. We had Hawaiian Haystacks, homemade rolls, and other stuff, which turned out great. We fed 19 adults and I must say that I was proud of myself. Thanks Mom! It was great chatting with everyone and being together. Sunday was such a special special day and we’ll never forget it.

It must be so nice to have your family around for these special little events. :) Porter is getting so big so quickly. It seems like you just had him.... well, to me at least. ha ha Tell Margarita & Ronaldo that I say hello and that I miss them. :)
Cute pictures, wish we could have been there :). I love the one of Peyton and Porter in matching outfits - so cute! Can't believe how big they are all getting! Porter has a look of his own - he has your eyes - so cute! That's awesome you could have so much family come and visit at once - wow!
Love the pictures! I'm SO GLAD you had so much support for the blessing and all the visitors! Way to go on feeding all those people! I know that stuff makes me stressed! Porter looks so sweet. Nice work!
