Sisters

My sister came to stay with us to help me a few weeks after Kyson was born. It was such a blessing. The boys had so much fun having her here. She was a great help to me. I had so much fun with her here.

We were able to go fishing at Hornings Hideout. We love fishing here with the boys because you can catch a fish in just seconds. We got 4 fish in about 15 mins. They also have wild peacocks and salamanders that are always fun to find and play with. This was the first fishing trip for both Kyson and Emily. They did pretty good. Emily caught a fish and was so excited, but check this video to find out what happened.

Those of you who know Emily check this picture out... She is holding the fish!

We also went to try out one of the millions of food carts they have in Portland. The food carts are pretty famous in Portland and this one looked fun for the kids. It was the grilled cheese grill. You grab your food from the cart/trailer and eat it in a double decker bus. It was really fun. We had grilled cheese, Capri Suns, and a pickle.

We also got to go pick strawberries with Emily. We went a little early in the season so we had to look really hard but we found some good ones. Strawberries are so good farm fresh!

We loved having Emily here and miss her a lot. Thanks Emily for all your help with the boys!

We also received this beautiful Quilt, made by my sister in law Mandy, for Kyson.
Thanks Mandy! Its getting some good use from all the boys.

T ball

Wes played T ball for the Yankees this year. He was on the team with his best friend Matt. He had a blast. We are hooked. Wes loved playing and we loved watching. Brad was so into it that he learned to throw better just by watching Wes and the coaches. I'm sure we have quite a few more years of this with all our boys. We had some practices and games in the pouring rain and it got really cold but we had so much fun and can't wait until next year.

Kyson's First Bath

We decided to give Kyson his first bath after the boys went to bed because we knew that we would have a little too much help if they were awake. But as soon as we started the boys ran out of their rooms and had to come and help. The boys had so much fun helping with Kyson's bath. Kyson loved it too.

Preschool Gradutation!!

Wesley Graduated from Preschool this year only 2 weeks after Kyson was born. It was my first real outing with the boys by my self and they did great. I did have a hard time trying to balance everything an take pictures so some are a little funny.

He got to cross over the bridge to receive his diploma.

His two teachers, Mrs. Susan & Mrs. Judi

The whole class sang some songs to us with Pasteur Ben. Bradley loved this part. He even started singing along.

Mrs. Taundra who is the principle of the school. We love her a lot.

Wes and his best friend at school, Tucker. They always had to sit together and walk by each other in the hall.

Wes and Teacher Judi. She was so sweet to Wes. She told me, Wes told her, that he loved her but not as much as he loves his mom. Too cute.
