I'll help watch...

...for the tooth fairy of course.

"Sleep tight and don't let the bug bites get ya!"

Time for another visit from the tooth fairy

Patrick is halfway to living out the song "All I want for xmas is my two front teeth!"

A strategic sucker helped break it loose and now it time to see what the tooth fairy has in store this time...

More photos from the holiday weekend with the family.

The holiday weekend had more than just the 4th of July's fun. Back at home, the boys broke out the jeep, and soon got Kate into the Jeep for a ride around the yard. She loved every minute of it, and Patrick and Owen were cracking up at how much fun their little sis was having.


Next the boys and Mommy got Kate to go down her mini-slide all by herself. With Patrick waiting at the bottom to catch her, she had a ball!


On Saturday, back at Grandma and Grandpa's, it was time for some water play. The boys had fun taking water out in the yard and engaging in their own little science experiments.


Even more fun was showing Kate how much fun playing in the sprinklers would be. We weren't sure she'd be into it, but the boys had her in the thick of it in no time. Owen dives right into the spray while Patrick and Kate wave their arms in the spray.


Lot's more pictures from the weekend's fun can be found out on the Picasa site. Click on the picture/link below to see all the fun, and even a couple pics of cousin Aidan.

From July 4th week...

Independence Day with the Fam.....

We had a great Fourth of July weekend. Relaxed at home with family, including a visit from Mike, Betty Ann, and little mr. Aidan. He's turning into quite a handsome and funny little guy (in spite of his daddy.....well ok, and in spite of his uncle Andy). Here's the handsome little devil wondering what in the heck I'm doing with the silly camera pointed at him all the time.


Its funny to see him next to Kate. He's getting *so* big, and Kate (about a half a year older) is just about the same size as him. But together, they make quite a pair. I'm sure Kate will be able to teach Aidan all kinds of fun trouble to get into!


Several more pictures out on my Picasa site, including the following PSA from the office of national drug control and polic.....errr, never mind, this is just slap happy me taking pictures of my slap happy brother after playing wii fit too late in the evening.

From Independence ...

One of my favs is this shot which shows a pretty amazing resemblance to Grandpa Dave in young Aidan.
