Mexico - October 2011

Another fabulous trip down to Mexico with the Franklunds and the Tobins. I know it's a lot of pictures, but there were just too many cute ones! Somehow I don't have any of Siobhan though. She was dodging the camera. Next time Shiv!

I really wish Darian was in this!

The boys minus Eoin.

Beautiful family!

Hey Macarena!

Goofy brothers.

Awww!

The boys loved the hat Dustan bought!

Buddies on the pirate ship.

My monkeys.

Noah got some really cute pictures! I love this one!

I'm not sure if Wendy is really reading or asleep under that hat. :)

The boys had a blast playing flag football.

It doesn't get much better than ice cream on the beach!

Arizona State Fair - October 23, 2011

I'm playing a little bit of catch-up here. We braved the crowds and went to the fair for the first time in over 10 years. It was hot and expensive, but the kids had a blast!

Darian's Photos Project

I am in love with these pictures Darian took for her photos class! I'm kind of sad she isn't continuing after this semester, because I think she's really good.

Another Darian Article

Darian has been involved in the Best Buddy program since middle school. She just loves it and I love that she has such a sweet heart! Here's an article that featured her and her buddy, Dillon.

More Summer Fun

We were able to get in a little vacation at the beginning of June to Mexico and as always, had a blast. We sure do love our beach time with the Tobins!

Goofy faces in the jacuzzi!

The breakfast crew!

The boys sure do love their "Bishon"!

And they loved playing with Jaz on the beach!

Beach golf! Brian and Nolan were unbeatable!

Noah really hated all the kids chasing him. (Not!)

The only girls amongst all those stinky boys!

My Patriotic Boys

The boys went red, white, and blue for fireworks at Erin's aunt's house.

Summer Fun

Darian and Noah went to Minnesota to visit my brother and sister-in-law in June and had an amazing time. Noah got to go camping and fishing with Ed and was in heaven. Darian and Jill got in shopping and more shopping.

Darian and Noah goofing off at Mall of America.

Grandparent's Day 2011

Erin's parents came out to Grandparent's Day at Noah and Caleb's school on February 18th. It worked out so well this year since the boys' times didn't overlap with each other. The boys loved having them there and showing them around their classrooms. Luke and I joined them and brought everyone lunch from Subway. Much better than cafeteria food!

Caleb taught them to play 2 square.
