Porter Family Update

So I just found out that Michael posted some pictures last night so I will just type an update of the last year at least the highlights. Our Michayla started first grade this year and is doing well she is right where she should be academically and really likes going for a whole day. Mommy likes that too because it makes my life a little easier dealing with 3 kids instead of 4. She is learning to read and gets excited now when she can read a book with a little help. She has to do this on her own though if I ask her to read something usually she won't, I am afraid we have a bit of a daddys girl he is not much for reading either. Hailey is in preschool 3 days a week for 2 1/2 hours and she is going with her best friend which both of them are really excited about hopefully they are making other friends too. She has the same teacher as she did last year and just loves her. Yesterday the babies and I went with her to the firestation on a field trip it was a lot of fun, I learned something new about fire safety when you stop, drop and roll you are supposed to cover your face. Both her and Kayla love being the big sisters and help really good when they want too. Jaydon is 21 months old and is on the go and very close to walking, he has been a little slow developmentaly so he has therapy twice a month to help build his gross motor skills. He keeps me extremely busy. He is into everything disgusting the garbage, recycle bin and best of all the toilet, I don't know how many times I tell the girls to shut the door after they use the bathroom. He is a joy however and loves his mommy. Rachel is 7 weeks old and is very needy right now so needless to say my poor house, it is all I can do to take care of my kids and get a few things done here and there. I am working on just calliong the day a success if one room gets clean and dinner gets made. I love being a mom but it is definately a challenge. Michael just started school at university of Phoenix a couple f weeks ago, the military is paying his full tuition and paying us for him to go I am just hoping he has figured out what he wants to be when he grows up. Well I better go see what my son is up too. I promise to be better about blogging.
