Church with Kyson

Orrin took this video to show me what he does with Ky during church. He pushes the water fountain and tries to grab the water. Orrin said that he was doing it over and over.

Tulip Festival

It was such a beautiful day to be outside so we decided to go to the Tulip Festival and pretty much half of Portland decided to come too. It took us a long time to get there because we were waiting in lots of traffic but once we did it was an amazing day. It even was a little warm. It might have hit 70 degrees!

  Here are Wes and Brad pretending to be tulips. 

The boys love to go just to play in the mud and on the fun play sets they have there. There wasn't much mud that day but Wesley was able to find some.  

Lucky I brought him an extra pair of pants and Orrin was 

able to find Brad's hoodie in the car for him to wear as a shirt. He was really embarrassed and covered his face on the walk back to the car to change. He got lots of looks and snickers from the older people walking by. I had to remind him that they just thought he looked cute in all that mud. 

 Ky wouldn't ever look at the camera because when ever I put him down he just wanted to crawl away and explore. I think I'm in for it when he is walking.

Its at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm in Woodburn so they have all sizes of wooden shoes around for you to try on. They also had a booth with these cute older men inside carving new ones for you to buy.

Kyson's 1st Steps

Wow! Not sure if I am ready for this.

Beautiful Sunday

It was such a nice day today so we decided to go check out the temple grounds and play again at the visitor center.

I love this time of year. We get to see tulips and daffodils everywhere. My favorite flowers.

Baseball Season!!!

We are all so excited for baseball season to start. Wes is on the Phillies or "willies" as he sometimes calls them. He just happened to be on the same team as his friend Joey which has been fun for him. He has had 2 games so far and has already improved so much. They haven't even used the T at all during the games. We love going to practices. The coach makes it fun for the whole family by letting us all participate with our boys.

Wes was so proud of this hit. He had the coach jumping to dodge the ball.

Easter

Kyson's 1st Easter

We had to wake up really early for church on easter but the boys didn't waste any time getting some of that candy down before we had to go. Even Kyson got what it was all about really fast. His eggs had gerber baby snacks in them and the Easter bunny got him a sippy cup to start trying. 

 We didn't have time to decorate our eggs on Saturday night which is our usual tradition but be invited some friends over on Easter to decorate eggs and do an Easter egg hunt.

 Crazy Happy Smile

 The Hunters. 

 The girls really knew how and loved to pose for the pictures (check out Ashley on the right, so cute) and the boys just didn't want to waste time with all that picture stuff.

 So it was hard to get a good picture of them all. Silly kids.

 We had first planned to do it inside our apartment because we thought it was going to rain but it turned out to be such a beautiful day.

Nathan had to pose for a picture before he went in too. We are really going to miss them.
