XOXO, the barrys

Eating outside...again...MMMmmm...

A VERY tired boy!

No more pictures please!!

I SAID "NO MORE PICTURES!!!"

Some very early morning shots from yesterday. So happy that it is Saturday now...what a week it was!!

A recap of this very interesting week would sound something like this... Mom (THANK YOU) made me an appointment at the garage for my car. It was sounding really loud and I was scared that it was going to be a big ticket repair!!? It turned out to be only some kind of heat cover and was very inexpensive ($25 yeah!!)...They checked the brakes and all and we got a good report...ready to roll!! PHEW!!
Also this week...we got a new dining table (OH HOW WONDERFUL TO HAVE AN UNCLE (AND AUNT) IN THE FURNITURE BUSINESS! - - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!) since right after the boys b-day our table finally gave up and refused to close?!
What else...well, on the same day...(Wednesday to be exact)...I woke to a "hot" smell, only to discover that the fan in the boy's room had stopped turning...I guess the motor died?! AND...later that day...the dryer gave up - it no longer turns!? So we are forced to be very "eco-friendly" and hang about 15 little boys t-shirts to dry all over the place ; )

With all of this comes some BEAUTIFUL WEATHER and we've been outside constantly enjoying it. No matter how long we are out...Sean is still screaming all the way in ; ) Today, the boys had lunch and dinner outside with only necessary trips into the house for bathroom breaks and nap time.

On a last note...I dropped off an application for a job about 25 minutes away in an excellent school district, and I really pray that it will work out!! If not...there will be something else I am sure!

Lots of love to all!!
XX Katie and the boys

Hello Family and Friends,

Here are some pics from our adventures opening a whole pile of gifts from some very special people! Thank you so much for all the goodies...Sean played a very tiny role in the gift opening, so we made him the star of the sound track : )

We love you all and appreciate all the love you show (and the treats too!!)

Here is a quick video of pics from the boys birthday. It took ages to download on our "elderly" computer ; )
Love to all, Katie and the boys

What a very busy day!! It started with a perfect message from Cousin Eve...how wonderful!! I loved your song Eve (I think Momma cried a little at how lovely your song was!)...you have such a beautiful singing voice! I got a John Deere Gator for my birthday (Momma will post some pics if she can find the camera). Really, it is for Sean too...but he just gets to ride...I'm the driver : )

Tonight, we went to Daniel's 2nd b-day party! He had an awesome farm party (just like we are planning)...except they have a REALLY big John Deere tractor and a COW!! I helped Mommy decorate for my farm party on Saturday and have stayed up really late...Before I'm off to bed though, I have to wish Auntie Jennifer and Uncle John a VERY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! Sorry for the late wishes, but It's been a very busy birthday.

xx Kellan Patrick ; )

Our neighbor outgrew his bike and they were selling it...it fits Kellan beautifully and he LOVES to roll : ) He looks so grown up on such a a big bike!! I was very impressed because he fell off twice today, but hopped back on without hesitation...GOOD FOR YOU KIDDO - You made Momma VERY PROUD!!
