My Precious Owen

He told me today that when he saw us after Geoffrey's wedding, he almost cried - we were gone for 4 days. I said why? He said because I missed you so much.

DiSnEy 2016

On Wednesday the 16th, boys woke up around 7 and Ryan brought them into our room. That's when we told them...

When we landed, we went to the hotel, Bay Lake Towers and let the boys swim until our room was ready. Then, we went to Magic Kingdom for a few rides and dinner. 

On Thursday, we spent the day at Magic Kingdom and had lunch at Chef Mickey's with the characters.

Friday was spent at Epcot. I think that was the best day. 


Saturday, we went to Hollywood Studios and had a wonderful dinner at California Grill overlooking the castle.

Fall 2016

It's been awhile!!!

Halloween - Shane - Indiana Jones Zombie, Brennan - Grim Reaper then changed to football player, Owen - baseball player Zombie

We've had a really busy fall. I was in Chicago for work, Ryan had golf weekend, Brennan had fall baseball and we didn't even make it to a pumpkin patch!

Owen had a loose tooth that was discovered yesterday and he lost it today (11/15/16) while playing football! 

School's going well. Shane came home with one note so far. Brennan doesn't want to go ever.

We leave for Disney tomorrow. Boys have no clue....

School Days.....

Shane has Ms. Finigan for first grade and Brennan has Mr. Miller (if that's not expressed in other blogs....).

Shane got in trouble today.....



I'm waiting to find out why. Brennan's doing great and Shane has been doing well too.

Owen's Turn! Pre-K Five days.....

Owen James started Pre-K yesterday at OEPC. I cannot believe this is the last year I'll be there. Brennan started in 2010. 

He was great when we first got there and participated. Then, they were allowed to choose a book. He wanted a Berestain Bears book but the other kids had already gotten it. So, he lost his mind....

Funny quote - today, Owen told me that he can't wait til he's 21 and he can drink alcohol and say bad words.....

Sneak-A-Peeks

Brennan has Mr. Miller for 3rd Grade!

Shane has Ms. Finigan.

End of Summer 2016

Well, I had surgery on my little toe today. Very easy; hoping the pain is not bad ......

While I'm in bed all day, Owen passed his diving test!

Shaney got Ms. Finigan for his teacher. Him and Brennan start on September 6th. Owen starts the week after. Shane has half days his first week. 

It's been a fun and busy summer!

Owen is 5!

My Owen James is 5!!

5-year-stats:

3'7.25", 39 lbs; 43rd percentile for weight, 56th for height and 35th for BMI. I think he's shorter than his brothers!

Last day being 4!
