The foursome of boys is on the loose and they have invaded Gramma’s backyard.

Instead of a toolbelt, Gramma bought Kieran a little drill and chainsaw set. The older boys thought they needed to safety check them for Kieran first.

Trevor is in love with the little saw, he shows Kieran how to trim the shrubbery.

We had a pro photographer come to Gramma’s house today, she was going to take pictures of the entire group. Unfortunately, Great-Grandma’s health did not allow her to participate in the photos, even if we all went to the care facility. She was on our minds all day, it is unfair that she had to miss this.

Everyone changed in to their blue shirts for pictures outside.

We sniped a few pictures while the photographer was setting up.

Getting the little ones to all stay in one place was not easy. And since when does Brendan shove a finger up his nose??! Only for portraits!! No matter what the kids were doing, Gramma looks gorgeous. I could easily convince a stranger that she was the mom and these are her seven children!

If this shot is any indication of how well the kids’ pictures turn out, we will have some great photos! SO CUTE!!

Trevor was done with the photo shoot.

I hate to tell Rhys, but we are now at maximum tub capacity.

The day was full of emotions covering the full spectrum. We are just trying to make the most of this time together, making precious memories!

Year 3 – Week 42 – Day 7 – PART ONE

There are just so many pictures already today that I am going to have to do the post for today in two parts. Kieran and family made it in safely last night and we saw them briefly this morning, but Kieran had some dates with his dad’s side of the family.
So the girls were here for a bit and then had appointments, Gramma had errands, and so my family met Erin and her boys at the park to play.

Brendan climbed all the way up and went down the double-twirl tornado slide all by himself!

Trevor always likes tornado slides

It was a beautiful day, and he liked watching the sillies run in between snoozes

We are enjoying the chaos of the big family madness and the beautiful weather, but a dark cloud hangs overhead as we worry for Great-Grandma. We’ve just found out today that she has pneumonia and will begin an antibiotic right away. Her extreme immobility is her biggest enemy right now.
