my apologies

Hello to everyone who has needed to call me (kendra). I am apologizing if I have not returned your call, or even knew if you did call me! My phone has been giving me fits all of last week, so after some time with the verizon people, backing it up on the computer, clearing all the info, etc. it seems to be kind of working again. I'll let you know if it breaks again, if so they will be sending me a new one! Just for your information!

Horses, Horses, Everywhere!

So, I'm sorry that these pictures are a little behind schedule-but as promised, one of the fun adventures we had in France was going with Michel, Julian, and Nicole to the riding stables where Julian takes lessons. There were horses everywhere, and Porter loved every second! I don't think he has ever seen so many up close and personal!! He finally got the guts to even pet some! He was very proud of himself:) Thanks for such a fun time Nicole, Julian and Michel!

It's so fun to hide under the bed!




So since Ronan has really gotten good at rolling around, he realized that he can roll himself under Porter's bed! There are some really great things under there, like shoe boxes and wet wipes! He just loves it:) And he fits so well, I just have to laugh because he looks so cute!

Happy Father's Day!!



Just a shout out to all the wonderful dads in our family:) We love you all! Both of my boys adore their daddy, as do I- and I'm so happy that I was blessed with two little boys who will hopefully grow up to be great daddys as well! They will have some awesome examples to learn from! So here's to YOU!! Noah does so much for our little family, and I am so grateful to him for all of his hard work. He also gives us plenty of fun times too, lots of silly memories that I know I and our children will always cherish! We love You!

New Teeth!


Roni is finally getting some chompers! It is hard to get a really good shot, but he just had his second top tooth pop out yesterday! (june 10) so that makes all four front ones now:) What a cutie! I love his little smile with his little "half teeth" not all the way in yet! So here's the best pic I could get. Hopefully you can kind of see them!

First bike ride of the season!




Today was such a beautiful day, and not really that hot in the evening, so we finally loaded up the kids and went on our first good bike ride of the year! We loved to ride bikes as a family-although so far the only actual riding is done by Noah and I. It is one thing though that we all really like to do, and it is good for us! The boys had a blast, they love to be outside, so this was especially fun and fast paced compared to our usual walks as of late. Porter is very bike saftey conscious and made sure that we all put our "helmens" on! He is pretty funny:) So here are a couple of the pics! Hope you enjoy.

France!


So we just got back from our trip to France... we had a fabulous time full of fun and family! We ate lots of delicious cheese, pastries, and Duck Confi; & Porter had oodles of fun playing all over the yard and in the barn etc. at Meme and Pepe's. He doesn't have nearly that amount of outdoor space here at home and he LOVES to be outside! He had a ball! We had so much delicious food and several fun events that were worthy of their own post, so I will do those later- but to Shelly and Kendall-we ate plenty of Kabobs for all of us (delicious) and Greg and Meg- DPAM rocked it again! And to all of you who keep saying you are going to come with us, we're excited and can't wait till next time! We were able to celebrate Noah's Grandpa's birthday and mine last week with a DELICIOUS cake that was essentially a giant eclair-praline flavor I guess! Anyway, it was great to be there for Pepe's birthday and for them all the meet Ronan. He was quite the charmer, and both of the boys did great! I was very proud of them, considering the near 24 hours of traveling straight that we put them through yesterday! So now that we are home, I'm ready to nip Ronan's sleep habits in the bud and get ready for all the next fun things we have planned for this summer! I'll keep you updated and hope that you enjoy the pics!
