Where's Ribbit and Croak?

These are our new pets, Ribbit and Croak.  They go every where with Drew; which means they are more like toys than a pets. Can you find  them in the pictures below?  Poor Ribbit, poor Croak and poor Brenna!




 Look closely...they are there....
 Did you find them?

 I am so luck to be their mommy!



The many faces of Brenna

Irish in the House!


We had a blast when Paula and Ronan came to visit!  They spent two days with us and we went skiing, tubing, went to watch the boys in the ski show and had so much fun hanging out.  We can't wait to see them again!

 Happy 7th Birthday Conner Mac!


Brenna 6 months old

 Miss Brenna is 6 months old and full of spunk - well except for the 4 times a day that she is exhausted - at those times, she is a hot mess!  She is sitting up, trying all sorts of foods, "singing", "talking", YELLING and trying to crawl.  She melts my heart!






Conner is 7!

Conner turned 7 on August 4th! It is so hard to believe that seven years has come and gone!  This year, he had his first over-night party.  It was a fishing tournament - of course!  The boys all had a great time.  At 10:30, I put Jason in charge of getting the boys to bed.  At 11:00, I head some of the boys talking about wrestling each other - needless to say, Jason was fired and I made sure they went to bed!  Right now, Conner wants to be a pro-bass fisherman when he grows up!  He loves to play outside, to ski, wakeboard, tube, swim, fish, hunt - really anything to do with the outdoors.  He is excited because he weighs in at 46 pounds, almost enough for the deer stand!  Conner is at an age where he is testing all limits -  all limits - including the limits of our patience.  Most importantly, he has begun to push himself in both strength and knowledge.  We are so proud of him!







Update on Drew Boo

Drew is something else these days.  It seems like each day, he looks less like a toddler and more like a little boy.  He loves to play with Conner - even though he is often the one instigating numerous fights.  He also loves his baby sister and cannot put her down.  He is shy around new people but super outgoing around those he knows.  He is beautiful.  He loves with his whole heart and still shows it - always wanting to hold me, always wanting to kiss me, always wanting to snuggle.  He gets tired easy because he plays so hard.  He is a gift.
