David got us a new car last week, a Chevy HHR. It is very fun to drive, kinda retro feeling, and gets great gas mileage (especially compared to our blue Expedition)! The kids like to take the "black car" whenever we go out.

What a big boy!


Ian had his first baby cereal this week. He LOVED it!!! After you put the cereal in his mouth, he likes to shove it back in with his fingers, very funny and messy! He's so big, and happy. We love our beautiful red headed boy!

Ian's first real food!

Dinosaur Party!!

Ryan turned 7 in June...WOW! I can't believe it! He had been planning his "Dinosaur Party" for months. We all had fun mini golfing and playing games...mom forgot a stick for the pinata, so we borrowed Officer Thrush's police baton to whack the pinata...all the kids thought that was great!

Our trip to Arizona

We just got back from a great trip visiting almost all of both our families. We decided to drive, which was long, crazy and wonderful. Spending so much time together as a family was great, and Ian did wonderful on his first road trip. We got to visit with most of our grandparents, some of our aunts and uncles, some of our cousins, and all our sisters. Mark wasn't able to make it to the wedding due to his fire schedule, we all missed him so much! We went for Jennifer and Tyson's wedding, and to see our newest addition to the family, Norah Nicole Kennelly. She is so beautiful! It was such a fun and wonderful trip, and miss you all already!

Jennifer & Tyson's Wedding

Jennifer & Tyson's wedding was wonderful! They did an incredible job preparing for a fun relaxed celebration. We all had so much fun being with the family and dancing the night away.
