Fun in the Splash Park in Spokane

I forgot about these photos....but they are some good ones of CR. On our drive to MT, we stopped over in Spokane to break up the trip. B LOVES the fountain in Riverfront Park, and CR really enjoyed it too. Really surprising as the water is pretty darn COLD, but she was soaked and happy.

Brennan, as usual, was not interested in getting his picture taken...

I love the progression of bravery, expression, and JOY in these pictures....

Wedding Fun August 2011

We got to the cabin on Wednesday (8/10) just in time for "tea" with the Brennans (Gabe & Maggie) - an excuse to eat, drink, sing, and be merry - and celebrate Molly & Roland. Here's the kids at dinner.
Dancing with Maggie....

Singing with Maggie and Gabe - this was either the Ireland anthem or the Orange & the Green

Caelan wore her Notre Dame jersey in honor of the happy couple.....

It wouldn't be a party without fireworks, right?

Caelan at the Bridal Shower on Thursday night....

right in the mix of things, of course....

Caelan and Sean at the Rehearsal on Friday night....

Sean and his sister Erin....

Beautiful full moon at the Rehearsal Dinner.....

Yes, LITERALLY, this is the ONLY picture I have from the actual wedding day - I was so busy with both kids that I just didn't take any pictures on my own camera. Hopefully I can get some good ones from the professional photographer. Both kids looked REALLY cute.....

Misc August Fun

Sean's sister Erin and her two boys had a long layover in Seattle on the way flying to MT, so we met them in downtown Seattle for dinner and a quick tour of Pike Place Market. The cousin's started out with a lot of love....
Kade holding his fish at the market....

Sean Patrick with his fish.....

We couldn't have had a more gorgeous day in Seattle for their visit....if you look closely you can see Mt Rainier in the background.

Walking to the place we had dinner along the waterfront.

The weekend before we headed to MT for Molly's wedding we loaded up the bikes for a family bike ride to the park WAY down the hill in Issaquah. It was super fun going down but it was a LONG LONG LONG way up the hill home....but we all made it. Cute one of CR in the park.

Sean likely hauls >100lbs in kids/bikes with the two kiddos.....a real workout!

smiles from the rider up front.....

The rider in back is sure looking cool, huh?

Hopscotch in our park. No, it wasn't winter - it was like 75 degrees....B just wanted to wear his Seahawks hat.

Cool action shot, huh? if there is such a thing as a cool hopscotch action photo, I guess.....

Caelan's Modeling debut....

FINALLY got the disk of pictures from the photographer who used Caelan as a model for her outfits and backdrops......these were taken at the end of June....

Goofy "Little House" hat.....

A little goofy with no pants.......but the smile is cute.....

She fell off this log pedistal right before this shot was taken.

The blue one below is one of my favorites.....
