4th of July

We took a family camping trip for a week spending a few nights at Quartz Creek and the rest of the time in Homer. The kids all had a blast and Steve enjoyed fishing. For the 4th we went over to Seldovia for the day and enjoyed the small town festivities.

Cassidy and James

Sleeping James

Baby James Has Arrived

We welcomed James Louis McSharry into the world on May 18th, 2010 at 2:21PM. He weighed 7lbs 2oz, was 19 inches long, and is a wonderful addition to our family.

Hockey Fun

With playoffs in full swing there isn't a night that goes by without a hockey game on in our house. Patrick is still fully obsessed and it's hard to get him to relinquish his hockey gear at bedtime. Steve was in a tournament this past weekend and we all went to cheer daddy on. Patrick was in hog heaven and even got to go into the locker room afterwards and tried on goalie gear!

Spring Hats

Nana and I bought the twins new sunglasses and Cassidy got a new hat (girls accessories are so hard to resist!) Not one to be outdone by his sister Patrick went upstairs and promptly came down with his own version of a sun hat.

Week in Review

Last week was full of excitement. We went to Mima's on Monday, Bouncin' Bears on Tuesday, discovered the brown bears had woken up at the zoo on Wednesday, enjoyed stories and songs at the library on Thursday, and had a blast at H2oasis on Friday. It's a workout keeping up with these kids!

Too Cute

Happy 12th Birthday Payton!

Payton turned 12 today! We can't believe how fast he is growing up! It was strange to think that this is the last year he'll have cupcakes at school.........middle school here he comes. Pate had a band concert and looked so grown up and handsome in his suit!

Skating

Steve built a hockey rink in our backyard this fall. Payton and his friends have been having a ball all winter and every once in awhile the twins venture out to join in the excitement. Cassidy lasts for five minutes flat while Patrick will stay out as long as the older boys do. He is quite comical with his stick that matches Payton's.........he wants to be just like his brother.

Spring Break

We took advantage of Nana and Uncle Andrew not having school and went out to lunch with them!

We checked out Bounce with Keegan and Carson.

We stopped by Kindergym and despite the crowds Patrick managed to secure his favorite scooter.

And most importantly I fit Cassidy's hair into her first real ponytail!
