Somehow I missed these pictures of Lance and Porter. I can't forget the father, huh?
Lance and Porter.
Introducing Porter James Brown.
Me and Porter.
First picture of all 3 boys.
Great Grandma Young with her 18th great-grandchild.
Conner loving his baby brother!
Conner was able to stay with me at the hospital for a few hours all by himself. He loved it.
The proud Grandpa!!!
Close up of Grandpa Kitchen holding Porter.
Coming out of the hospital. Have you noticed how consistant Brayden is with his camera smile? We can't get him to open his eyes. Oh well, it is cute!
This is the only time that Porter has sucked his thumb (so far). Isn't he cute?
Conner loves to hold Porter. Can you tell where Conner gets his smile from?
Conner and Brayden just love being around their little brother. Whenever they can they are sitting next to him hold his hands or kissing him. They sure love him!
The very proud Grandma Brown.
Scrunchy faced Porter. He has a little bit of jaundice since we've been home. The doctor says it should go away soon. We have another appointment next week for his 2 week check up.
Conner is very good at holding Porter by himself (with an adult very close by).
Brayden loves to hold his little brother.
Grandma Kitchen finally gets to hold her new grandson!

Conner in "the" sleeping position. Brayden does it too. Lance saw them both sleeping like this one night and said he sleeps like that too. So not only do they take after their dad with being deep sleepers, but they get their positions from him too. Hey, maybe that is the secret to a deep sleep.
This is at a school up the street from our house. Conner wanted to try the monkey bars. He hasn't quite grasped letting go of one bar to get the next one, but I am sure in time he'll become a pro.
Brayden on the slide. He loved it. He would go down and run to the stairs climb up and go down the slide again and again.
Lance has been working on cars the last couple of weekends. It was so nice on Saturday that I had to let the boys out to enjoy the sunshine. They ended up "helping" dad fix the car and got as dirty as he did. This picture doesn't do their dirty clothes justice. They sure enjoyed themselves though.
Here is Lance with the boys.
This was a snow bank on the side of the road on the way home from Bear Lake.
The boys wanted to play with my mom's hat and scarf. They thought they looked pretty good.
Here is Brayden on my parents bed at the Bear Lake Condo. He grabbed all of the pillows and was making himself a fort.
Here are the boys sledding. We went up with my parents to their time share in Bear Lake over President's Day weekend. It was cold! This sledding hill was just outside of our condo so we took the boys down it. I wanted to go so badly, because I love to sled, but in my condition we thought it might be best if I stayed at the bottom to take the pictures.
Conner and Brayden coming down together. Both of them loved the sledding.
Brayden coming down all by himself. After this he got a little cold, so Lance took him in to warm up.
Conner almost falling off. He loved every bit of it.
Conner coming down all by himself.
Mom couldn't come down straight. For some reason she always came down backwards. She said it was kind of scarry not being able to see where she was going.
Grandpa and Conner coming down together.
Grandpa carrying Conner up the sledding hill.
Grandma and Conner cuddleing in the snow.
Conner making a snow angel.

Conner told me one night that he and Brayden were going to go into the bathroom to brush their teeth. A few minutes later Conner came and found me and said something about Brayden's hair. I walked into the bathroom and saw this. I reacted more then Conner (I guess) wanted me to and he burst out crying. He said that he "just didn't love it". That is what he says when he doesn't like something. I felt so bad for him. I knew he hadn't done it to be malicious, so I told him, "well that is why we don't play with the clippers." Next he said to me, "how come grandma can do it good?" I said, "because she knows what she is doing." The next couple of days were hard on Conner. Everytime he saw Brayden's "haircut" he would say to me, "I can see Brayden's head." It was quite the funny thing, although Conner wasn't so please with it.
This is what Conner did to himself.
Brayden and my cousin Justin's daughter, Anna.
Conner and Brayden have been doing a lot more things together lately. Quite a few times I find them sitting together like this on the couch.
I walked in on Brayden reading again. He had put the hat on like this all by himself.
I was about to put the camera away when Lance called me to come in a little further. This is how the boys were sitting watching TV.
I walked in the front room the other day and saw both of the boys sharing one chair, (which they never do) so I had to capture the moment. Look at the picture below for a closer look.
Brayden at Christmas.
Brayden playing with the race track that Conner got for Christmas.
Conner at Christmas. The boys looked so nice. We went to church with my parents before we opened up presents at their house.
Brayden loves to show off how good he is at my dad's famous game. He'll look around for anyone that is watching and say, "Look, Look!"
Every night before the boys go to bed I will go with them into their room and put a pillow up against the bed (as seen here) and read them books. One day Brayden was being very quiet and I found him in the reading position. He had put the pillow there all by himself. Cute, huh?
Conner and Brayden decorating our gingerbread christmas tree. They would put one piece of candy on the tree and then eat one. I had to keep reminding them that if they kept eating them there wouldn't be enough for the tree.
