We tried hiking up Mt Helena, it was still a little cold and icy. K loved it, being outside. He thought the walk down was pretty fun!

My stud showing us some moves. He is quite the entertainer!

Kristian was helping momma make yummy brownines. What part do you guess he helped with? He loves to lick the bowl!

Kristian singing his baby song that he made up himself. he is pretty proud when he sings it! Hope it brings joy to you as it does to this mommas heart!He is going to be such a great big brother. We love you baby 2

We were at a junior high ski trip. the hotel had a water slide which K loved. while every one was skiing, k and I went down over and over. He loved it. He would hold up his pointer fingers for one more time! Then daddy got to take him. I think K had a super fun trip!

My sleeping boy on valentines day! he fell asleep watching Nemo! So precious. I guess he was tuckered out from all the loving he recieved!

just hanging out in Dads office playing with cars! He is in a new phase of loving cars, the toys, the movie, everything!

Kristian loves to play foosball. He tries to pull the chair over and get ready! He is actually getting pretty good for a one year old! He gets all excited when he scores and gives high fives to those around.

this is for you mom! We were making cookies and K of course wanted to help decorate. Then he was such a ham, saying "cheese" and doing goofy grins. What a cutie and is always there to entertain! I sure love you my super dude!

This is our most recent pic of our precious new boy!I love this pic that they captured. Just look at this face. We see a lot of similarities to when Kristian was born. I sure cant wait and am counting down the days! my little miracles, my treasures, my boys!

Last night Kev had to go to youth group so K and I stayed home. K has the chicken pox, my poor boy! We had fun taking pics. K thought it was so funny to watch the pics get taken. We had fun laughing and making goofy faces. My little joy. Its so hard to see them when they are sick but laughter is the best medicine!

This is our precious baby's little foot. Isn't it sweet?

Here is our first ultra sound pics. We get another one of Feb 1. The third one is a 4d picture. What an amazing thing to beable to see your baby and hear the heartbeat. It is such a miracle! Our baby boy likes to suck his fingers, so cute!

Ok... The pics are caught up. We hope you enjoy seeing what has happened over the past few months! We have had a lot of changes. As you know, we ended our job at the end of August in Glendive, knowing that was what God wanted us to do. With know job in site, we waited at the cabing for God to guide us. We ended up in Helena and we love it here. We miss all our kids in Glendive so much but we know that Gods direction is the best!
Some cool things happening in our family,if you havent heard, is we are having another baby boy in June!! WE are so excited for this blessing! And for you grandparents, I am sure there will be a girl sometime! Kristian is talking more and more. He said his first prayer the other night, " he said esus, cant pronounce the J, i luv ame. The purest prayer. To bad we all cant pray with such innocence to our father!! You pray and pray that your kids will want o lvoe God and pray adn love God! And even at 19 months they want to express that. What an amzaing thing to hear coming from the lips of a babe!!
We are trying to start the whole potty thing. He has gone a couple of times in his potty or in front of it, but it takes time. We likes to flush the toilets and say pee yooo, so I guess that is a start, my big boy!!! He is also obsessed with hunting, at that is not an understatement. He wakes up shooting things and goes to bed shooting things. ALl day long, its, "GUN< GUN< GUN!! Its pretty cute. We play elk alot of the day. This game is, you put the elk up, he shoots it, you make it fall down,and it starts again. He never gets tired of seeing it fall! What a crazy!! Well thats all for now folks. Now that we are on line, let the pics role!We love you all.

We got to go to the cabin on Christmas day. Grandma and Grandpa, Marv and Chris all came down. That was a nice blessing. ANd after everyone left, the tired Kristain and Ma cuddled up on Kristians little bed. Yes that is a dog bed, but Kristian loves it!!! And sits in it all the time to look at his animal book. We have to sit on it actually to look at his animal book. What they get in their heads sometimes!

Our first Christmas in Helena! our little mister got so tired, and I take advantage of those cuddly moments. Kristian had fun opening his presnets! Thank you all!We had our story of Christ and then got to dig in!

This is for UNcle Jay and Aunt Joanie! Kristian loves his bow and is doing pretty good shooting it! They say its for ages3 and up, but when hunting runs through the veins there is no age limit! He sure cant wait to go bow hunting with his Uncle Jay, maybe when he is three, or at least he can call them in for ya!!!

Our little lion was so adrobale for Halloween! I couldnt help but laugh cause he was so cute! We took him to a church carnival thing. What we put our kids through!

Cousin time! Kristian loved his cousins. He followed Konrad everywhere. The guys got the boys for the weekend while us ladies were at a retreat! brave men!

Ma time! Grandmas have a special place in the heart of Kids! And Kristian is so enthrolled with his Grandma. Know one else is really noticeable if his Grandma is around. She wears me out just watching her play all day and night! She has more energy than any one I know and the biggest love for her grand boys!! And each boy knows how much they are loved!

Daddy time! We took Kristian to a pumpkin patch. Kev has so much fun iwth his son and of course Kristian loves him! If kev isnt around K puts up his little hands and says,"Daddy gon, Daddy gon?" What a joy as a mom to see a daddy and son just love to be with each other!

Family fun. The benner 5 were all together. The crazy loud bunch! WE had a surprise party for mom. She turned the big 50. Dusty and Chan drove th long distance to surprise mom and Jay did too! She was so excited!



We took the kids to the park. I am not sure who had more fun, the kids or us!
