Whoa! Where is my tractor?

Uncle Will inspired Liam to break out his
John Deere outfit one more time before it's too small

"Do you have my tractor?"

Happy Fourth of July!

Waiting for the parade to begin

Liam was a little too young for the candy being thrown
but he thoroughly enjoyed the water bottles they handed out.

The Careys came for the parade too and Liam
tried desperately to get Susan's glasses.

Later that day we went to a party at Ayden's house and
the boys were after the beer.

Ayden moved on but Liam persisted trying to bang it out of the box.
The poor kid didn't realize that it ws all in the cooler.

Holzmans in town

Katie, Aaron, Emily and Aidan were in town for one day.
Katie grabbed Liam as soon as she arrived.Aaron, Emily and Susan admiring the new landscaping.

Emily had fun with my camera and took this cute shot

Climbing Mount Mommy

Liam is moving faster everyday. When I got in his way,He simply climbed over me.

So, upside down he went.

He didn't enjoy it at all!

What was he really after? Sheba, of course.

Maddie's First Birthday

Liam went to his very first birthday party. His friend, Maddie, turned one this week so we all went to her house to celebrate with her family.

As it should be, Maddie got her very own cake to eat.

Liam loved playing in her castle ball pit

Avery told Liam what to do in the ball pit as she has been frequenting them for months.

"So you throw the balls out there and climb after them in the dirt?"

Liam had so much fun at his first party. Happy Birthday Maddie!

First Camping Trip

Look at those lips! As soon as we got to the campsite,

Liam took a snooze in his backpack in a rather odd position.

Avery brought her big play yard and everyone loved it, including the moms and dads.

Liam had to do some sharing with Maddie.

Abe discovers walking (with the help of a push car)

There was some underage drinking. Those Irish kids start early.

The excitement was too much for the babies and they all
stayed up to sit around the campfire. Here is Abe with his dad.

And Avery

And Ava

And Ayden
Liam was snoozing away until it got REALLY late. That's when he got up and everyone else went to bed.

The next morning Ayden and Abe banged out a breakfast call so everyone would wake up with us at 6 AM.

Ava got back at Liam for keeping her up all night.
And a very big event: Avery took her first steps.
