Our mini-vacation to Cork:
Easton and Rob in the hotel swimming pool...not so sure about the water wings...
Much happier with a little added safety!
At the Fota Wildlife Park. It is a 'no obvious barriers' zoo. Pretty cool...you can get really close to the animals obviously. It was darn cold though.
Could there be 'real' Mexican food in Ireland? The Cafe Mexicana in Cork came pretty close according to Rob. Quite tasty.
Brothers:
Easton loves to hold Owen's hand...pretty sure Owen doesn't love it so much.
Aird Family Visit:
Rob's dad and 2 Grandma's came for a visit...we did a lot of fun stuff:
At the park with Great Grandma Aird
Still at the park...it is a really beautiful park.
Park again.
This is an attractive pic of me on the cliff walk from Bray to Greystones (about a 5 mile walk). We did not do the whole 5 miles (we had a two year old and a bjorn) but it has spectacular views and is fun. Any future visitors to Ireland will most likely be taken here!

With the Aird crew we went on the ferry over to the UK to go to the temple. Our temple is the Preston Englad temple. It is abot a 2 hour ferry ride and then a two hour drive from there. A little hectic with 5 adults and little ones but it was a good time.
On the deck of the ferry moments before Rob and his dad were pelted with vomit. That's right, vomit. And not my vomit or Easton's vomit which would be bad enough but a total stranger's vomit. We had the priveledge of riding on the ferry with about 100 13 year olds heading to some soccer tournanment. Seems a coca-cola and candy overdose mixed with the rough waters equals barfing and lots of it. Rob and Richard unfortunately were standing down wind of a kid who ran to barf over the side of the ship. Yikes.
The inside of the ferry. It is actually pretty cool if you take out all the vomit.
We made it to the temple...
It was really great to be able to go even if it was such a short trip...we only got to do one session but at least we did that...we almost missed it!
We came home from Preston (on a ferry with hardly any vomiting 13 year olds) in time for Easter.

We were able to bless Owen in church while Rob's family was here.
The whole crew.
So that's it. It has bee na fun few weeks. We are looking forward to visitors in May and then are heading to UT and CO in May/June...hopefully we'll see some of you then!

wow, it looks like you guys had a ton of fun. I am jealous (but not of the vomit thing). I thought that kinda stuff only happened in movies. Owen is beautiful (or should I say handsome?) well, he's both. I can't wait to see you guys!!! Love You!
P.S. That one picture of Easton walking down the lane in the park looks professional...
Love all the pictures! Thanks for the update! I LOVE your hair cut and color...it's beautiful! Who would of thought the irish are so hair-trendy?!? Your boys are so cute!!!
Great pictures and commentary! When you mentioned the vomit before I had no idea it was from a stranger...so gross. The Preston temple looks really cool.:)
Great pictures! It is fun to see your little family growing bigger!
So fun!! We've totally got to get over there - I know I say that all the time. Owen's getting so big. Miss you guys sooo much!
What a fun and busy few weeks you've had. I can't believe Rob and Richard got puked on. That is about the grossest thing I could ever imagine on a ferry ride! If it were me, I would definitely have lost my lunch too!
Your kids are so cute and I love the blessing day pics. Your dark hair looks so different but very flattering. New looks are fun.
Katie - your hair really does look great! I loved all the pictures. Definite favorites - Easton & Owen holding hands (AwwwwwwwWWW!)and Rob so excited about Cafe Mexicana. I don't know if I would be brave enough to try the Mexican food in Ireland.
P.S. Thanks for the warning on the ferry. If we try a ferry while we're there, wear a poncho! (Although it'd probably be ME puking, ha)
Wow, so many adventures! What an amazing week you've had and what a cute baby that little Owen is. We sure miss you guys!
Your boys are so adorable. You did some really fun things. So, does Rob work anymore? We hope we can see you when you're in Utah. We understand though, if it doesn't work out. We wish we could make it to Ireland for a visit.
