Sled Fun

Liam and Katelyn went out bright and early to play in the snow. First day of Christmas break, what a treat for them. They threw snowballs in the front yard then went sled riding down the hill in the backyard. They had so much fun. While they were outside Morgan was getting into trouble as usual.

SnOw Much Fun!

The kids, minus Morgan because she was taking a nap, played in the snow and made a snowman with daddy. When they came in they all told me that I missed all of the fun. I did go out for a few minutes to get the pictures. The kids and daddy had a lot of fun in the snow. They had a snowball fight after the snowman was built.

Buckeye Fever

Liam, Katelyn, and Morgan are ready for the big game. Go Bucks! Beat Michigan! We love our Buckeyes (at least most of us, go Irish for Matt).

Fall Fun

The kids love playing in the leaves. Unfortunately Morgie was sleeping during all of the fun. The kids were trying to get as many leaves as they could before Matt got them with the lawn mower.

Daddy Night 2009

Katelyn and Daddy had another very exciting night at Daddy's Night at preschool. This year the theme was Sports Night. Katelyn picked out their outfits. She was wearing her Ohio State jersey and she told daddy to wear his Notre Dame jersey. The evening included games, a yummy snack, a nail makeover and makeup time. Matt and Katelyn had a blast.

Halloween

Liam was Obi-Wan Kenobi, Katelyn was Tinkerbell, and Morgan was Dumbo. They had a lot of fun. And thanks to daddy for taking all three trick-or-treating. Liam could have went forever, but Katelyn and Morgan got tired quickly. It was a great night with friends and of course too much candy.

Long Time No Talk

Yes, it has been about 4 months since I have posted. I will try better to keep up. We have had many things go on since July. Liam started Kindergarten, Katelyn started her second year of preschool and Morgan is growing up so fast. Oh, and yes we are expecting a little bundle of joy the beginning of June. Not to mention a Reds game, Halloween, the beginning of fall, and everything else that has happened. I am going to post some updated pictures of the kids. Here are pictures of us at the reds game. It was Build a Bear game and the kids had a blast!

More Pictures

Here are some additional pictures from our vacation to Kelley's Island.

Kelley's Island

Here are some pictures from our vacation. We had a very relaxing time at Kelley's Island. Luckily my parents went which was a blessing to have extra hands with the kids. We went to Kelley's Island the week of July 4th. It was a little colder than we would have liked so maybe next year we will go later in July or August before school starts. Even with some rain and colder weather we had a great time. The kids love going. Both Liam and Katelyn loved to fish every day right out our back door. It was also nice getting to see the BIG boats that Matt and I one day hope to own. We hope that by next summer we have our own boat to take on vacation. Hope you like the pictures.

5 months is way too long!!

I know it has been 5 months since I have posted anything. I have a new goal to post at least once a week. Some family and friends get to see us regularly, however, others do not. I hope our family and friends will read up on what has been happening with us. SO.................
Since I last wrote Morgan turned 1, Liam turned 6, the school year ended, Liam is no longer a kindergartner, summer began, we went on vacation, and have been swimming as much as we can. I will post pictures of our vacation and swimming soon. I am so proud of Liam and Katelyn. They are now swimming underwater (using goggles of course) without the use of swimmies or swim belt. Liam is now jumping off the diving board. All of this happened in the last 3 weeks. Now all Liam wants to do is go swimming and jump off the diving board. Luckily we do have access to a pool with a diving board.
Matt has been working nonstop it seems for two weeks. Hopefully we will get some time with him this weekend. Liam really wants to show daddy how he can jump off the diving board.
I have been off work since June 18 (life is good being a teacher). It has been great being home with the kids. I think Morgan is getting a bit too attached.

Liam's First Award!!

Now if he can only act this way at home!

SNOW much Fun!!

The snow was so much fun to play in. Daddy helped by making a little sledding area in the snow so the kids could go faster down the hill. Daddy even got in on the action. After about 30 minutes the kids were ready to come in and Liam had Hot Cocoa. Little Morgan had to stay inside but she had fun looking at mommy through the door!

More Snow Day Fun!!

We even got to play Pretty Pretty Princess many times over. At least Liam is a good sport about putting the jewelry on. Katelyn loves it when he plays games with her!! She loves her big brother sooooo much!. Morgan is almost exhausted from all of the fun we've been having.
