Kisses for Ellie - they missed their baby sister so much!Notice the beautiful birthmark behind Annie's ear! Each of the kids have one but Annie's took us a while to find! You can only see it when she has pigtails!
My beautiful girls!
Ellie had stayed with KK the night before at the beach house so the girls could not get enough of her! She did NOT love the extra attention, as you can see!
I love those smiles! 
This one was for Papa - he loves the cheering pictures!
Silly faces!
My talented goddaughter making a silly face - the babies loved it!
These are a bit out of order. We went to the Irish Festival in North Haven on Sunday and when we came home BOb rushed out to help Meg and Tim move.......so Mommy moved everyone out to the pool for some exercise! They always have a blast and things only got better when the aunties and uncles stopped over to hang out! I love living so close to our family!
Uncle B insisted that I admit to him that this particular dip in the pool was actually in place of tubbies for the night and he was right. I didn't wash faces or anything - just sent them out to get wet and at least somewhat clean! 
Molly is such a great big sister - she absolutely amazes me! She is getting a much needed break at the beachhouse with Grammy and Papa and Tyler! Molly also had a big day today because she learned to ride a 2 - wheeler with her papa! I can't wait to see it in person!
Our little ladybug - I didn't even bother with bathing suits! I love that our backyard is private enough that the babies can just get a water diaper on and go - no need for bathing suits! 
Lizzie can not get enough of the swing - the problem was that she was freezing and would not admit it! She refused to get warmed up in a towel! Too cute!
Annie had a rough weekend - just not feeling great and kind of grumpy. Bob took this picture when she fell asleep on the couch about 30 minutes after waking up! 
We got to the Irish Festival just in time for the 120 degree heat of midday. It was excruciatingly hot! We watched some dancing - listened to some music and most importantly - Lizzie had her first horsey ride. It was kind of funny because for 2 weeks we had been telling Annie that there would be horses and that she could ride them - she was so excited! Then she saw the horses and flipped out. Lizzie - on the other hand - could not wait to get on the horse! 
Molly decided not to ride and there was defintely a moment of trepidation for Lizzie!
Holding Daddy's hand - not too sure!
I lvoe this little smile on her face!
And now - she is such a pro that she even waved to me! She is such a joy to be with - Lizzie takes every little tiny thing and makes it special. She was oohing and ahhing the entire time she was on the horse and her big sister stayed right beside her most of the time!
Molly and Ginger
Lizzie was SO upset to get off the horse - but there was a huge line behind us!
Lizzie was also the only kid who wanted to feed the goats! 
Molly - Girl loved this horse - Cottonball!
Power to the people! Annie LOVED her icecream. 
Molly girl was so sweet - we got the order wrong so she took the icecream that nobody wanted so that Annie could have hers! What a great sister!
Peter didn't want ice cream but a little old lady saw him giving Ellie rides around the food court because she was so cranky and she offered him a soda of his choice to cool off. She came over to tell me what a wonderful brother he was - she said he talked to Ellie and sang to her and walked around and around trying to make her feel better! I'm so proud of our big kids! 
Ladybug loves her ice cream!
Poor Ellie just does not like the heat! She was in bed by 6:30 when we got home because she was so cranky and tired! She is alot like her Mama!
Meg and Tim moved on Sunday night so the boys stopped over to visit with the kids after! This was supposed to be the serious picture but my brother is acting goofy in both! 
Silly picture!
My 2 tough guys! 
The little girls were all dressed in the same outfit one day over the weekend so I decided to try to get a few pictures! They were less than cooperative in every way - mostly because all they wanted to do was chat and hold hands and bicker like little old ladies. It was actually kind of sweet for a while! Abby had slept over the night before so she and Molly also wore their matching outfits and got in on the photo session - the big girls were loving posing but the little girls just could NOT be cooperative. I feel bad because I realized we have all the girls with one exception - our little Katie! Sleepovers would be hard with Katie right now since she and Annie are both fairly new to the big girl beds - we are nervous that they would stage a coup in the middle of the night!

Peter and his godfather! He loves spending time with uncle Pat and was lucky enough to get to sleepover on Friday night! He and Tyler had a blast at the 1st of what will probably be many sleepovers of the summer! Peter is loving Summerscape - the RH parks and rec camp that we had to force him to go to on Monday and have since signed him up for more weeks because he had so much fun! Molly is hanging at the beach with her Papa and grammy and Tyler and the babies are loving playing in the yard and visiting Auntie Meg in the new condo! Not a bad start to the summer! GNM - ILY!
