Check out the AMAZING birthday gift that arrived yesterday from some very special family!! A HUGE "thank you" to the Baxters (thanks Mike, Jess, Franceska, Bryce, and Kelsey!), Gensers (Thank you Ian and Chantelle, Emily, and Erin!), Bogarts (Thanks much Aunt Dianna and Tom!), Bakers (Adam, Carrie, -- you will have to come over to play William, Emma and Daniel!), and Bakers (Stan, Kristy, -- come visit us Owen and Logan!)

Of all the toys in the backyard, Daddy would have liked this one the best!!

The very "BEST-EST" part of the gift...IT CAME ASSEMBLED!!

We know it was a BIG job Ian...thank you soooooooo much!! XOXO

I'm sorry all...these are in a terrible order, but I am having a difficult time getting things to post, and I think it is more important that you get to see the pics - so I decided to give up on trying to get the order just right.

Here is Seanie boy surfing his walker with a "Goldfish" cracker in his mouth and his brother's size 3t shirt on...

We had 3 of the LeBlanc boys here tonight for a couple hours...things got pretty fun with 5 boys in the house ; )

These pics took place before the rain started and we all headed indoors...fun with the water table the boys got for their birthday...thanks so much Scott, Christine, and Gwendolyn!!

Raphael helped the boys fill the water table...

...and Sean did his best to empty it...he was SOAKED!!

Mathis and Kellan had a very exciting lacrosse game in the living room. I'm sure I have much more of this to look forward to ; )

the tugboat...I'm sure that Sean will have his 'payback' ; )

Here are a few pics from outside tonight (I hope to follow up with a little video of the same). The weather was perfect today. We have been CrAzY busy lately, but I had to post something!!

We love you all,
XOXO Katie, Kellan and Sean

The boys each got new toothbrushes!

Kellan loves to walk around the trail...."I-me walk on the grass Momma?"

Farmer/Pirate Seanie helped me plant some flowers while Kellan napped over the weekend.

Kellan has continued to play with Carnival things after the "big event"

Here are our birthday boys in our "photo booth"... lots of fun ; )

Wow...what an event. I hardly know what to do with all my free time - now that the party planning is done. I think I'll take up gardening ; ) There were not all that many photos of the party, but here are a few...with the rest of the pics in a video to follow : )

We had a very nice time and appreciate everyone coming to celebrate with the boys! We missed our family who could not come, but we can't wait to see you soon!! The weather was pretty "unpredictable" with hail, rain, and sunshine intermittently?! We did get outside a bit, but it worked out wonderfully to have the party inside...very COZY!

Love to you all, Katie and the boys

Just in time for the birthday party, a package arrived from Granny and Granddad Barry - it had a very handsome new top for Kellan and he LOVED it : ) (It also smelled very nicely of Granny's perfume--ahhh) Thanks to you, he was all dressed up for his party! Sadly, Sean could not wear his outfit (the cutest little short set ever...). We'll be sure to post a pic of it when the weather warms up!!

Thank you Granny and Granddad!! XOXO

We know that you are very proud of these special boys Daddy! XOXO

The swingset has landed!

For some reason, I'm not able to "fix" the pics in the earlier post, so I will put the ones that did not work up here... xox, us

Well, I left for work yesterday morning with a pile of wood in the side lawn and when I arrived home - our swing set (AWESOME...and from www.kidscreations.com) was up and ready for play! There was no hiding this set from a very observant 3 year old!! Sooo...we "broke it in" for a few hours before we HAD to go in to bed. Kellan is really enjoying his set and so am I! It is really perfect and we have to say a HUGE thank you to Ian, Adam, Mike, Aunt Kathy and Uncle Everett for making it happen. There is no way we could have gotten it done if left on our own!! I think that my favorite part of all is the exact location you chose for the tower! It is just between our cedar (?!) tree and the neighbors (?) tree. It feels very much like a tree house when we are up there and it's just perfect! Thank you all so very much!

This is really one that he will be able to grow into...yet it's SUPER fun now!

I love that the ladder is really more like stairs...very wide and easy to navigate

we tried every activity...many times : )

I was a bit unsure if he would be able to use the rock wall...no problem...he's a pro! I know his athletic ability does not come from me!! That's all Daddy! ; )

I didn't get a full set shot, but we will surely post more pics soon...


We also received a very fun package from Aunt Anne and Uncle Gary this morning with 2 of the coolest books ever! Sean loved the Swing! book and Kellan could not get enough of the "Mouse in the house." Thank you so much for the books and the very special birthday cards (with birthday money... that was Really Special!!)

XOXO Kellan and Sean

for now...g'night...zzzzzzzz....

Kellan is three years old today! He insisted on putting his PJ's on alone (I only helped a little)...this was the only time I had the camera on today...oh well! There was a lot of treats (Thank you Auntie Jennifer for the chocolate and thank you Julie for the cupcakes!). All in all it was a lovely birthday and we are hoping that the rainy day we had today will mean that Saturday is full of sunshine!

G'night all,
XOXO Kellan, Katie, and Sean


"I-me did it myself!"

I literally had to hold this child down to get a pic...notice that his other hand is not in the photo ; )
