Children's Museum

Jenna and the kids got to take a trip to the Phoenix Children's Museum with their friend, Sophia, and her daughter, Sarah. What a wonderful place. Mommy had such a good time too, who says it is just for kids! We didn't get to spend a long time, but enough to know we would like to go again and spend more time!



Here are Aislinn and her friend Sarah scootin' around on the little ride-on toys. With a little help from the Mom's they were ripping up the track!

This little contraption allowed you to drop wooden tops and watch them drop in different patterns. It captured our attention for quite a while.

Aisy went back for more. She loved it!

This was the coolest thing by far. Noodle forest. It is just the noodles you would use for the pool hung up on ropes. We want one for our house.

Conlan the noodle!

Aislinn's 1 Year Pictures

We got Aislinn's one year pictures done and we are just getting them up now. At least she is not two yet. Jenna's sister Audra was sweet enough to do the pictures for Aisy and they came out really cute considering the circumstances. Aislinn was completely exhausted and was having a very emotional day. With all that said, she did really well and Auntie was very patient and captured some really great memories despite all of the temper tantrums! Please enjoy some of the photos below!

Happy Valentine's Day

We're Baaaack!!!

We realize it has been a while since we have updated the blog. Our sincerest apologies. Unfortunately we have been having some serious technical difficulties. Since mid-December both of our computers have taken turns crashing, recovering, spending time in the shop, only to crash again. This is the first moment that our computers have actually behaved themselves enough to allow us to get on and update. Please see the new entries below.



Our charming little Conlan.











Our impish little Aislinn.

Love and hugs to all of you, we are back!!!!

Rodeo Days

Conlan's kindergarten class had a rodeo for the kids a few weeks back. They set up various stations for the kids to rotate through the activities. They got to: pan for gold, horse race with the horses they made at home, sing campfire songs, play horseshoes, square dance and eat real cowboy food. It was super cute and the kids had a great time.

California

We got to take a family trip out to Cali between Christmas and New Year's. Jenna's sister, Audra, was expecting baby #4 on New Years Eve. Emmalina was born on the 31st and helped us all bring in the new year. Jenna got to stay an extra week with Aislinn to help Audra recover from her c-section and juggle the kids for her. Bryan and Con had to come home because school and work were awaiting them. We had so much fun getting to see family and friends while we were there!

Here she is, Baby Emmalina! Such a sweetie pie!

Proud Mama Audra.

Great Grandma Barbara with Emma. That makes the score 10 grandkids and 7 great-grandkids.

Aisy and cousin Tristan. They were buds while we were there.

The matching jammy bergade. We tried to get a cute picture of the 3 of them, but due to the monkey antics this is the best one we got!
