McCann Happenings

I just love the games kids invent! I'm thinking Molly may learn to ride a scooter before she rides a bike!

BTW-Notice the helmet?? She's still obsessed!

Just for the record, he can make it all the way down the driveway without crashing...just so happens that I caught this run on video :-)

Here he is after his crash...he's learning!

Megan had been riding her bike without training wheels for just 3 days...it took 3 years, but she's got it down!!

Full Bloom

I always have to share pictures of our garden...here she is then and now!

April 2010

June 2010

I have to tell you, if you only plant one thing, make it lettuce! I loves cold weather, so it can be grown nearly year round!! I planted this lettuce from seed in April and it's still going, plus, I'll plant another batch in August for the fall season! There's little better than going out and picking your salad for dinner!!

May, at a Glance!

Well, May came and went and now June is almost gone....where does the time go? We have some fun adventures during the month and I figured I better share some of them! Tim took Andrew on his first fishing trip, well, outing rather! A park near us has a fishing derby every year and although Tim's plan was to take Megan, she didn't want to get up so he took Andrew instead. Turns out we may have a future fisherman! He caught a small little blue gill (I think) and even won a prize! Andrew (AKA dad) chose a fishing pole!! Mother's Day was spent enjoying the beautiful sunshine and a family bbq at a state park nearby! I don't have many pictures from that, but it was a lot of fun!! And, as you know, we welcomed the newest member to our family, Ashley Grace, who is dearly loved and adored by all! Can't wait to see her grow and watch all her cousins love on her :-)

My Mother's Day cake, made especially by Megan :-)

What a fabulous Mother's Day present!

Enjoying the beautiful sun and the neighbor's dog Sparky!

Only in the Pacific Northwest!

Ice Cream Social for Campfire USA, Megan received recognition for being a top seller in the region!

Snuggles with Auntie Biz

Hmmm, does this make music??

Someone found the snacks...big surprise!

Big catch of the day came from Jackson!

The Fisher People (can say men, with Megan in there)

Just palin' around, those two!

May was fun-filled, and now we look forward to summer!

Bus Riding Babes

So, when the little ones started preschool I was adamant that they would NOT ride the bus. However, there was a conflict with their schedule and Megan's, so we were kind of forced to use the bus for getting them home. I figured as long as it wasn't me putting them on, I'd be okay. Don't be saddened by the pictures...they grew to love the bus ride and eventually smiled and waved when they saw us instead of releasing alligator tears! Of course, Andrew always loved it, but that's no big surprise!

The transportation department actually had to install a special seat for Molly because she was too small for the built in harness. It was pretty cute :-))

April Activities

We had some good friends down to visit in April, and kids had a blast! We enjoyed a yummy bbq, a little bit of sunshine, and finally got to meet baby Aiden.
