Bend Trip

We sure enjoyed visiting everyone in Bend this past weekend. We missed Mom and Dad though.

It's hard to believe they have been on their mission for one whole year now. I am just excited for the next six months to fly by. It was the first time Great Grandma Jones saw any of my kids so that made the trip extra special. We drove our new van and boy did that make the trip a lot nicer.

ING Babies

You are never too young to plan for retirement

We are just so happy to be apart of the ING family.

These last four months have been a great experience for us.

With the market being so up and down...

there were days I felt like crying.

But now we are happy to say that
things are finally looking up for us.

We work hand n' hand with you
in all facets of your financial future
so we wanted to share with you
the many faces of ING...

So, just sit back and enjoy knowing
you are being taken care of.

Our little angels

Natalie was enjoying her lunch with cousins after Bryson's blessing.

The best part about staying in a hotel is the elevator and Mom lets us jump on the beds. Only in a hotel would that ever happen. I had a minor heart attack when Eric and I were carting the kids down to the lobby and Tyson decides to jump into the elevator and take a ride without us. It was about 1 minute that seemed like a lifetime with us not knowing if he would get off onto another floor, but he didn't. There we a few people who got on the elevator and made sure he found his parents. Thank goodness for other parents.

Natalie loves he water. She loves being in a swimsuit even more.

Ali has found her toes and loves to do this.

Tyson had Prom at preschool. Luckily his tux still fits-sort of

He sure can tan easily---lucky kid

Swim Natalie swim

Alivia is now 10 pounds 11 ounces. Bryson (5 weeks younger) is passing her up quick. I guess she better eat some more. She is rolling over now and just loves to find her left foot while sucking on her right hand.

We took the kids to the park where they got to play on a train. They just loved it. It is so fun to play with cousin Andrew and Brooke all the time. We sure enjoyed Brooke's birthday yesturday. Natalie tried to open all of Brooke's presents before she could get to them. It's got to be so hard to just watch someone open presents and not touch them all.

At Preschool Tyson was being asked what his favorite food, color, etc. was and then the teacher asked if anyone has anything else they want to share. Tyson says, "Yes, I want to share the gospel."

Tyson told me the other day that we are going to have a baby boy next. I asked why and he said, "Because, there is only one my and I can't take care of three sisters."

Natalie in the flowers

Here is Natalie in our backyard enjoying the 80 degree weather we've been having. We just love being outside and are excited for the summer where we can play outside all day. We just picked up a trampeling for the kids and will put it together tomorrow.

We want to welcome Dustin into the family. He is a little 7 pounder who just didn't want to come into the world until he shared a birthday with Grandma GG. Congratulations to the Mitton family.

Easter Time

Easter was fun with the kids. We missed the egg hunt but the kids got to see the fire dog, the Easter Bunny, and look in a police car. We had an Easter Egg hunt at our house but Tyson thought it was a joke because the Easter bunny didn't fill the eggs with any candy. The Easter bunny instead wrote a note to the kids saying they had to eat their dinner all gone before they could get any more candy.

This last week

Natalie loves her new skirt.

We've had a busy few weeks. Ali was blessed last Sunday. It was wonderful. She and Natalie have worn the blessing dress that my Grandmother made for me for my blessing day. We were able to see lots of family that day and enjoy a nice dinner afterwards altogether. Grandparents who weren't able to make it were truely missed though.

Tyson had western day at Preschool so of course Natalie needed to be a coygirl.

We took the kids to Eugene yesturday to see Uncle Cory. We had a good time going to dinner and then back to his appartment to jump on the bed for two hours and play.

Ali wanted to say a little something:
Ali wants to give a shout-out to Aunt Cindy!!! Call me!
And to Aunt Kristi-I can't wait to see my cousin soon. We need to handout again.
To Aunt Jenn-hang in there. He is coming sooner than you can imagine.
Grandma King-I hope you feel better.
To Grandma Debby-ride an elephant for me and I will see you soon through the computer.
To Uncle Cory-I will see you Saturday with Heather-I can't wait.
To Uncle Kyle-you are playing video games right now. Can I play next? Probably not because I can't stay await for more than 5 minutes.
Jackson-keep that red hair aflaiming
