THE IRISH CLAN

Irish boys

2008-06-24T08:28:00.000-07:00

We went and took pictures for Father's day....and Ryan tried so hard to get his "best pic"while Sean was done in 2 minutes and the photographer said they are just "age appropriate". She could get any picture of Sean right now....and Ryan will just want things to be perfect!! They had fun....and that is what it is all about. This is such a fun time in their lives and they have such a longing to learn so much right now. We feel so blessed with our family and the special memories we share!!

Shane's 40th Birthday

2008-06-10T14:12:00.000-07:00

We celebrated Shane's 40th Birthday with a SCAVENGER HUNT - What happens in VEGAS!!! They had to start from the house and create a mascot from balloons...they then proceeded to check out and travel to the strip for many needed items. Along the way they had to have others take pictures of them, get souveniers, and take pictures with total strangers. It was a great time and we finished with a celebration at Ventner Grill...with each team receiving a prize for their accomplishments. It was a wonderful day with memories for life!!

Ryan's First Slumber Party

2008-06-09T17:13:00.000-07:00

Ryan had his friend, Evan, stay the night and it was a first for BOTH boys. We played in the pool and had dinner and around bedtime, Evan told Ryan he wanted to go home.....soooooo Ryan went and stayed the night at EVAN'S HOUSE!! Isn't that what it's all about??

Pre K Olympics

2008-06-09T16:58:00.000-07:00

Ryan's class was the GREEN MONSTER TRUCKS and there were obviously more boys than girls in the class, so that is how the name was voted on!! They celebrated the last day of school with games and went for the Gold!! Many memories were made this year and lots of new friends for the years to come!!
