The boys took turns being team attendants at the Blazers game. HUGE thanks go out to Brian's dad, who has faciliatated having Hillyer's MidCity Ford sponser the boys as attendants. This was Chase's 2nd year and Tristan's first. I posted Chase's photos last year so I'm just posting Tristan's this year. Here's his name up on the jumbo screen.
And here he is down on the floor with the players. Look center on the right hand side... he's the one with the giddy look on his face. ;)
My baby girl is 9! This is a difficult age for me. I am always reminded that 9 is halfway to 18. Halfway to grown. Halfway to getting up and going on with a life of her own. It's a stark reality to realize that our time with our children is so short. But she is growing up to be an amazing and beautiful woman.
One of her favorite gifts - she's really into American Girls this year, though there was no way we were spending $100 on a single doll. Instead she got a few of the miniature dolls and some books to go with them. I'm really impressed with what a great job she is doing taking care of her dolls and she seems to love the books too.
Carissa chose to have a hula birthday party this year. It was really fun! The girls made lei's and hair flower clips and played limbo and then we had someone visit to give them hula lessons and show them how to do this twirly ball thing (poi balls, I think it was called). 
Carissa and Tristan both played basketball this year. It was quite a busy season for us! Carissa had a lot of fun and had a great coach and team. It's not always easy when you're the tiniest player though. LOL
This was Tristan's 2nd year and he moved from half-court to full-court play. It was quite a transition and it was much tougher than last year.
Chase had the unique opportunity to serve as an honorary page for the State Senate. He carried the flag when the senate opened, opened the doors for the Senators and - his favorite - yelled "VOTE!" really loud whenever there was a vote to be made. After the session was over for the day he went on a scavenger hunt around the capitol building and learned a lot about the history of our state. He also got to meet with Seantor Betsy Johnson, who sponsered him as a page for the day. It was a great experience for him!
Little Miss Riss has a new accessory... a nifty pink cast for her newly broken wrist. A first break for her and really not a bad break, but she's in a cast nonetheless. Thankfully she gets it off next week and then life can hopefully return back to normal.
This spring break has been nice off and on so a few days ago the kids took the guinea pigs out for some playtime in the yard. I had to take some pics because they have gotten so big - especially hurly who is pretty much nothing but fur. We had to move the hair out of his face so I could take the picture. LOL
