Birthday Boys!

The boys had so much fun opening their birthday packages today!  Thank you all for the wonderful gifts!  Everything was so thoughtful and very well loved!!  My camera was acting up, so please forgive the blury photos (and missing photos!)

xx You are all the best and SO thoughtful!!!


(The floral package was a beautiful scarf for me (I wish you didn't do it, but it is so beautiful!!) thank you kindly Dee and Ciaran!!


I wish I had a video of Kellan when he saw the Fireman Sam backpack...he was beyond excited!  He is a BIG Fireman Sam fan!!  Sean actually chose Jake and the Never land Pirate cupcakes to bring to school today.  How fun...he too is in love with his new backpack!

The boys were trading cookie cutters like cards Mandy, Ross, Katie and Kylie.  They had so much fun deciding who would "get" each one. ; )  They are SUPER cool!! 

 

 

Kellan was acting crazy posing for pics.   When we opened Granny and Granddad's package, my camera was acting up and I didn't get too many pictures.  The clothes are BEAUTIFUL!!  They are going to look so handsome!!!  Maybe this will prompt me to get some new photos taken...we are long overdue!!

 

 

Sean was posing in silly ways ... I love the look of adoration as he looks at his backpack in the photo below ; )

 

 

 

What a couple of goofy kids!?

 

 

 

 

Some long overdue pictures of our land and our "cabin."  The weather was beautiful and we had our first overnight on Kellan's 6th birthday yesterday.  (AND...we failed to wish Auntie Jennifer and Uncle John a very happy 6th wedding anniversary too...even though we had the best intentions of doing so!!)

I knew that I would remember to take some pictures of the inside of the cabin too, but it didn't happen this trip...we will probably be there again next week!!


Things are just really starting to turn green...the leaves are starting to grow and the ferns are beginning to really come up.

Sean was playing peek-a-boo around the car

The birthday boy playing in the sand...
with his (soon-to-be-birthday-boy) brother.

There it is...our cute little cabin.  It is the perfect size...should have seen them driving that thing in there...it was pre-made, so they just backed it into the lot...VERY cool to watch!! 
Our campfire...and the river.  The water is only about 6 inches deep and really rocky...fun for the kids!!

I walked out on these rocks to take a picture of the river in each direction...

To the left...

and toward Aunt Kathy and Uncle Everett's lot.

Here is the view our camp from the rocks.  It was a lot of fun and I think that we will have a whole lot of adventures here!!  There is a lot of work to do to get the "woods" picked up - fallen trees out of the way...the boys will never be able to say they are bored!!

Kellan took these photos of Fitz

 

...and Milo last week, so I wanted to post them... ; ) cute!!

 

Planning for a campout downstairs. 
 

Emmy gave the boys some money for their birthday, and Sean picked out cars...SURPRISE!!

 

Kellan chose a fishing set (he pointed out that he already has a fishing pole)... getting ready for fishing season with Uncle Stephen : )

Trampoline+balls=FUN! (and static electricity!!)

 

 

 

 

We had a snow day yesterday...yup, April 12th!!  It was actually more of a freezing rain/wintry mix day.  The boys thought it would be fun to have a camp out downstairs - we have another planned for tonight since the boys both slept well...once they fell asleep that is.  Before they fell asleep, there was a whole lot of excitement ; )  BUSY BOYS!!
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...and finally...

 

 

So, we had a VERY busy weekend.  It started right after school on Thursday.  We took a trip to a hotel with a pool about half way to Sean's Friday afternoon Dr. appt.  Sean got a good report about his eyes...the doctor feels he is doing well...we'll keep movin'.  We also got to visit with the crew at Great Gramma's house to celebrate Easter.  The boys got some nice treats from the Easter Bunny and then today a VERY tasty stash of treats arrived from Auntie Jennifer, Uncle John, Eve and April!  You know how we love our chocolate!!  Thanks you so very much!! 
xx to all,
Katie, Kellan and Sean


I didn't take any still photos of Sean in the pool....it took him a while to get in, but Kellan loved it!!

This was part of our trip home from the Dr.  It was a 4 hour ride, and this mommy was so thankful that the boys slept for almost 2 hours of it.  They were really exhausted!! (I took this pic while driving...out of total excitement.  They went from wild loud to passed out in seconds!)

The Easter Bunny left these treats out for the boys. -- can't wait for morning!

Sean was the first one up...by a lot!!

After sleeping in, Kellan got into his basket to fast for me to even pull out the camera...

...while Sean got into the chocolate!!

ALL these treats came from the Dunne's today...too much of the yummo Cadbury chocolate!  It just isn't the same over here...Momma has already gotten into it.  There will certainly be a cup of tea with another little bite tonight!! ; )

 

These boys wasted NO TIME digging into the buttons...you certainly know the good stuff Eve and April! ; )

 

The artwork on the card was lovely Eve...well done in writing your name .... we love you E-V-E!!

p.s.  Hope you enjoy the new pics Emmy...So happy we got to see you this weekend!!  Sorry that I've not been very faithful with my posts...I'll try to do better!! xx Katie ; )

Happy Birthday Uncle Stephen! 

Your card didn't make it in the mail yet, but we really do have one for you...and a little chocolate treat! 

We hope your day is very special!!
Kellan and Sean
