Ball Pit

Brian thought I was crazy when I bought all these balls! They were a big hit. Soon enough they will be throwing them at each other.

Canada 2012

In the beginning of August the Murray Family made the trek up to grandma and grandpa's cabin in Ontario, Canada.  The drive is 8 hours, so we decided to split up the trip by driving after Brian's workday for 5 hours until we made it to International Falls, MN.  The next day we headed across the boarder for the last 3 hours.  The kids did great!

Brian and I enjoyed a day of fishing out on Lac Seul with Jeff, while Grandma MaryJo stayed back with the kiddos. 

 

I had to show off my 25inch walleye that I caught.  Biggest fish of the day!

Naturally, I had to take some pictures of the kids with the fish to show just how big our fish were.

We did a little 5.5 month photo shoot while we were in Canada as well. 

 

We took a little ride around the neighborhood in the 4-wheeler- minus the baby.

 

One of our favorite nightly activities is taking the trash to the dump.  We had a very exciting visit one night when there were 5 bears!  One got a little friendly with Jeff as he videoed him, which ended up with us all running to the car! 

 

Note the sign that the bear is standing in front of.

 

 

Our early mornings with the kids allowed us to see some amazing sunrises.

 

Grandpa Jeff has a new fishing buddy! 

I couldn't resist this picture.  Everyone likes little baby butts! 

 

 Can you tell who is who here?

 

We had a great trip to Grandma and Grandpa's cabin. Thank you for hosting us.  We can't wait to make this our yearly tradition!

 

Sweet little Ellen

Our very dear friends and neighbors, the Neuerburgs, were blessed with Ellen Sarah on July 20th. Ellen came over to meet her boyfriend Brady and best friend Hailey. Can't wait to watch this trio grow up together!

Montana Photographer- July 2012

When the Murray Family was in Bozeman, Montana earlier this summer, we had a photographer take some family photos to capture our Flaherty Family Vacation.  I received the proofs not too long ago, so here are a few of the pictures....

 

Visiting Dad's Work

Last weekend Brian was on-call, so the kiddos and I decided to visit him in our pajamas!

The Trio

Moose has been amazing with the kids from day one, but he gets a little anxious with the kids playing on him. I have been working with Moose to get him comfortable with hair pulling, eye poking and climbing. We all know there will be a lot of that going on over the next several years!
