Birthday party fun!

We had 2 birthday parties to go to today. We were running around trying to get everyone ready and Ireland came out dressed in one of Kevin's button up shirts. Then she had to try out her "mean look" also:)

I love this picture because it shows how happy she is most of the time!




This is before we left for the parties! We actually got them to cooperate with us!





1st party was at Build A Bear for Mackenzie! Mackenzie turned 7 and I work with her mom and we are very close so they were sweet and invited Ireland and Patrick to join in the fun!


Patrick looks thrilled to be making his bear doesn't he?


Ireland had a great time she was just getting a little tired and a little overwhelmed by all the older kids!


2nd birthday party of the day! This was for Griffin he was turning 3 and had his at the YMCA! We had a big blow up thing with slides, we had soccer, we had hoop loops as Ireland calls them, food, cake and ice cream!! We also had a grumpy little girl by this time. 2nd day in a row without a nap she ALWAYS gets a nap. Surprisingly, Patrick was great!





All the other kids were playing together playing soccer etc...and Ireland was putting cones in order because she hates when things are not lined up properly or if they are dirty!

Is he not adorable??? I love my little man to pieces!!!




For my family you know when I was little I carried Sunshine around with me everywhere!!! Well mom fixed him for the most part and gave him back to me for my children. Ireland has now dressed him in clothes Patrick cannot fit into anymore and I wanted to share them because they make me happy!





Several nights ago Kevin was working and I was at home with the kids. Ireland sleeps with 11 animals, dolls etc.. at night and she decided that she was going to put them all in her wagon. Yes the wagon was inside because it has been COLD here in GA! (yes I know some of you are saying that is not cold but for those of us in the South it was cold) and we have run out of things for her to do inside so in came the wagon:) Here are a couple photos of her and the wagon. The cutest part was after she carefully put all the dolls and stuff in she realized their was no room for her. She was very sad then decided she would just sit on one:)

Christmas 2008

Christmas morning at our house:)





Ireland loved her Princess Trunk full of dress up clothes, jewelry, and make-up!





The slinky makes a come back! Ireland loved her slinky and so did Patrick!



Ireland got a bike that she loves also! She looks cute wearing her dress up clothes while trying to learn how to ride!




This is my son the laid back one! He has decided he is now ready for his 2nd nap of the morning!


Christmas Eve! We went over to my parents house for Christmas Eve. Here are a few photos!



While Ireland was potty training mom always had M & M's for her at her house so that she would get a treat if she went potty. Well once my dad found that out he kept eating all of the M & M's and then Ireland would not have any. This became funny to her and the other day when she woke up from her nap she came and sat on my lap and said Mommy we forgot to buy Pop Pop M & M's so we went and bought him a big bag so that he would stop eating Irelands:) So here is a cute picture!


Ireland thinks her T.J. is pretty cool. T.J. is thinking she is more fun now that she does not cry all the time! It is fun to watch them together. And no dad she did not get pulling up her shirt from her mother. She got it from her Aunt Bessie:)



Another cute picture of Kevin and Patrick.

Catch Air!

Kevin has been taking the kids to a place called Catch Air the last couple of weeks and I finally got to go with them. This is a huge indoor play area with lots of blown up slides and jump areas. Both kids love it!! So do we! We took Alex with us and we all had a blast. We went down the huge slides (including Patrick) we jumped on the big air areas and Ireland got a work out as you will see below:)



Here is Ireland learning how to work out:)





Here is Kevin and his little man:)


Look at how grown up Alex is! This is a great picture!

December 08

We have been a little behind on the blog but have lots of updated photos to share. We hope you enjoy!

This is one of my favorite pictures of Kevin and Ireland!


We have now given up on trying to get a picture where everyone is looking at the camera!

I cannot tell you how much I love my little man! He is so happy and easy going!

Ireland was thrilled we finally got the tree finished!

Another attempt to get a Christmas picture of the kids:)



We had a kids Christmas party in our neighborhood that I helped with!
You can see Patrick really enjoyed his time! He slept without waking up for Santa!


You probably cannot see Ireland here because she is crying and has her head stuffed in my side. She did not think much of Santa!




Here we are on our annual trip to Kensley Family Farm to cut down our tree!
