Porter put a scare into Granny

Friday Porter and I were under the house in the crawl space looking for canning bottles. I was moving boxes around and trying to navigate the small space by doing crouching, crawling type movements. I was quite sure that several spiders were getting a free ride on my person and burrowing into my hair. Porter was busy playing, singing, closing the door and just plain being Porter. Once I made it to the fartherest most part of the crawl space Porter found the light switch. CLICK... then Scream!!!! It was pitch black. Porter was screaming and I could hear her little Dora shoes on the cement floor moving back and forth. I was a little disoriented because I had moved boxes behind me as I was looking through other boxes and sound echoes under there. I was yelling to Porter telling her it was ok and all sorts of other soothing things I didn't feel. Anyway I made it back to the light switch with Porter still screaming the whole time and flipped it on. Just as the light came on Porter went silent. We looked at each other and she said "I'm done." We left the crawl space as fast as Granny could get the the door open. I have no idea why Porter was screaming and doing a little dance. She wasn't scared or upset that I could tell when I got to her. Silly girl.

The boys are getting ready for hunting

Kyle takes it very seriously as you can see.

There were several variations of these scenes. First Cole shot then Adam. Then they switched guns. Then their friend Chase (not pictured) shot. Then they all switched spots again

They spent several minutes while walking to the targets and back discussing the finer points of their marksmanship. I believe a few wagers were made as well.

Okay one more with Porter in it.

Porter wanted Poppa to get her a candy. Look at how good she is at getting what she wants.

smiling for the camera

Porter may be confused as to what "smiling for a picture" means or she is sick of us taking her pictures all the time

Porter loves Patchy

At the cabin last month Porter just wouldn't leave Patch alone.

cute huh?

Look at what I made at my sewing group last night. Thanks to a lot of help I got it all done in one night. Cute!

Porter helps gather up the dogs to head back

She was hollering as loud as she could to get those dogs to go where she wanted them too.

and of course Porter

Porter and Grandma went for a walk to the pond when they got there Porter sat down and said, night night. She was tired.
