Murphy Family Benton Harbor Trip

We also made our way up to Benton Harbor/St. Joe, MI at the end of June for a week with the Murphy Family. A great time was had by all!

Connor made it very clear that he wanted a picture with Leah and NOT Erin!

Benton Harbor, MI Trip with Farrell Family

At the beginning of June, we made the trek up to Benton Harbor, MI for our annual trip with the Farrell Family.  We stayed at Ryan and Jeni's again (THANKS GUYS!) and had a blast!

Erin and Tate had a blast together!  She was soooo good with Baby Erin!

Always eating!

The awesome sprinkler park that everyone loved!

Growing Up...

Connor's last day of preschool is tomorrow...only one more year at Epworth and my baby will be at St. Pius X starting kindergarden...I can't even belive it!

They gave us this today as we picked the kiddos up...I can't believe how much he has changed in one school year.

Love you little buddy!

Connor's Haircut

Before

During

After!  :)

Sooooo...Connor had been BEGGING me for months to allow him to get his hair cut like Jordy Hulls on the IU Men's Basketball Team and after many nos from me, I finally decided that this won't be the first, nor the last time he does something I don't particularly want him to do.  So, here is my little man with his first crew cut!  Although I miss his longer, beautiful hair...I do have to say he looks pretty cute!

Erin's 18 Month Well Baby Visit

This post probably won't interest most, but I just want to have it for when I make these in to books for us and the kids.

Erin had her 18 Month Well Baby Visit at the beginning of April and weighed in at 25.5 pounds and was 33 7/8 inches long.  Still tall (not as tall as Connor) and much more petite than Connor ever was.  She is still wearing size 5 shoes and has a teeny tiny little foot!

She is always moving, loves to do whatever her big brother is doing, loves to dance and play outside and has a feisty little personality...her favorite word is no!  :)

Easter

We had a great Easter this year...spending time with Meme, Pops, Aunt MJ and Leah.  Here are a few pics!

Decorating eggs...don't mind Connor's weird hair or Erin being shirtless!  :)

I AM BACK!

Sorry for the lack of posts as of late...I have been pretty much without a computer since January.  I have had it on and off since then and I finally think the problem is solved and I should have it back for good this time.  So, the blogging sort of stopped, but I promise to pick it back up again.

I will add a few posts tonight, but then be on the look out for more (mostly Pat's 40th Birthday and our Annual St. Patrick's Day party...Caitlin took a BUNCH of pics for me and I am just waiting to get them from her so I can post them!  :)).

To start, here is a pic of the kiddos at the St. Patrick's Day Parade this year.  One of our favorite days and this year did not disappoint.  I wish I had more pictures, but I don't!  :)
