Inspired by Ben…a puffle masterpiece…By Andrew

My friend Bethany’s little boy Ben shares the love of Ningago and Club Penguin. She had recently posted a fabulous post highlighting one of Ben’s cool Club Penguin drawings so Andrew was inspired to do the same! Thanks Ben for the great idea!

Random October

Not to forget all the random joy we were given in our daily grind…we are thankful for these moments the most!

Nothing could be better than a baby in a bathtub!

VIP transportation

Uh, I think you’ve outgrown it Drew Drew!

Caught in the act…its all we can do to keep this little girl out of the cat room!

Yet, another attempt at a picture of our three little blessings…still can’t get it!

Once a daddy’s boy, always a daddy’s boy!

We made TP towers…

…and snuggled.

Andrew learned how to make mosaics with legos in lego class. This is what he came up with one afternoon…very creative!

God Bless America!

These cousins are inseparable!

We say this all the time, but the bond these cousins have is absolutely amazing! God truly has placed a unique love in the hearts of family and he didn’t skimp on our children! And it only gets better with more and more blessings from above!

Mad Mad is growing up to be so beautiful but why would we be surprised? She always has been!

And the kitchen food wins again…kids of all ages LOVE IT!

These two are starting such a close relationship too…unless of course she messes with Mikey’s train tracks, then the love is gone!

And with a new Ireland cousin on the way…God multiplies the love!

The birthday kitchen is here…finally!

With a little patience, Lily’s kitchen has finally arrived and is well worth the wait! The little girl loves it…never mind the boys who would never admit it who also love playing with it!

They have an affinity for cooking in only with their drawers on!

And we have one happy girl…

…mission accomplished!

It’s pretty much all she plays with lately!

Andrew joins in and they play restaurant also…

And what can I get for you this evening?

The kids rocking their true colors: blue and gold!

Its that time! WVU and the BIG 12…a little less than impressive this year, but we will never be fair weather fans! Every Saturday (give or take a Thursday game or a bye week) the entire Ireland clan puts our gear on and supports our team – considering we probably funded one whole set of their uniform changes and an equipment purchase for the entire team with the amount of $/tuition we paid in our lives to WVU! But we wouldn’t have it any other way…Matt and I met there, and the boys want to go there…for right now!

So in true mountaineer form…

Let’s gooooooo Mountaineers!

Lily just saw one of the many turnovers we have endured this season…haha!

You guessed it…

…another turnover!

That’s ok though…we LOVE our Mountaineers!

Future Little Caesar’s Employees

Back in October, Publix had a great sale on pizza dough, so we tried our hands at tossing pizza. Ryan didn’t want any part, but the younger two enjoyed the fun!
