Daddy had a day off in May so off we went to our
favorite hiking place. Karl's Gorge. The kids love
climbing up the rocky hillside and hiding in the caves.





The dogs had way to much fun playing in the icy waters.

Daddy was brave and treked the kids up the side of
the hill to get these pictures.. I was down at the base
holding on the the puppies.


One of the best of all seven in along time.



CUCKOO!!

This is why......

New couches are in our future.....'nuf said

Tsuanmi turns 1

My handsome furkid is one years old. He has been such fun
to have in the house. He can be an exhausting brat but he is our
brat LOL. He is overly friendly and just doesn't want to take no
for an answer when trying to met a new friend or even an old one. He loves
his bully sticks and squeaky stuffies and he even loves his furbrother now that Ty can
play tug a war with him


Tsunami is enjoying his banana cake with yogurt frosting....


"you are done already?? did you even taste it Typhoon?"

Salzburg Feis

For some reason this is the only picture I have
of Hannah for the Salzburg feis.... I know I took more........at least I thought I did






Okay so we went on a feis (irish dance competion), early May. We went on a whirlwind tour and somehow this is all I got for pictures....and I don't even remember what they were. I think I am going to have to go back and try again.

The Murphy Boys are putting last minute touches on the dam before they let loose the water.....

It was finally warm enough to head the to best kids park in the area.... affectionately called Dinosaur Park. There are slides, climbing things, swings, sand and water. What more could a kids ask for. We homeschool families took advantage of the nice day and went and hung out at the park. The kids had a blast just being outside and playing and the moms enjoyed just being able to sit and talk to an adult.

Spring 2009

Spring is in the air. The girls all got together in the field right by our house and picked the wildflowers. They had so much fun making little bouquets and daisy chains. I love pictures like these, they really do show how well the girls get along and love just being together

Easter 2009

Happy Easter Everyone....
