Happy 4th Birthday Dutch and Tru!!

Dutch and Tru turned 4 on July 9th! Yes I am a little late posting their pictures of their birthday but we have had a busy summer! I can't believe my babies are four! Tru is loving summer and swimming. She has learned to swim with out floaters. She can jump off the diving board and swim to the side all by her self. She loves riding her bike she got for her birthday. She loves to help with baby Rowan whenever she can. We love Tru so much she is such a kind hearted little girl!

Dutch is my little helper. She is always trying to do her jobs the best she can. Dutch LOVES to play with her sisters. She is the peace maker in our home, always trying to make things fair between all the sisters. We love our sweet Dutchy!

Happy 5th Birthday Portlin!

Portlin had a Hawaiian birthday party! We had so much fun. We went to the willows pool and had a bunch of friends and family to come help us celebrate her 5th birthday. She got a barbie bike, lots of barbies, zhu zhu pets and so many fun toys! Happy Birthday Portlin we love you so

much!

We made her cup cakes for her party, if you can't tell they are little beaches ha ha I'm not the best at baking or decorating.

Our Fun Weekend

Our weekend was so full of fun! It was Brian's birthday so we got to have a little party for him at na na and pa pa Gallaghers.

He got a new BBQ! Yeah now we don't have to use our tiny one with 3 legs ha ha.

 We also took the kids to this cute little farm, it has goats, pigs, chickens, rabbits, quail, turtles, a horse and thank goodness a cat for Dutch to love on. Dutch wants a kitty so badly but its not in her near future, sorry bugga!

 This is how Rowan spent the day at the farm.

 These girls sure do love there cousin Briggs. He is such a sweat heart to put up with all these girls.

 This is how we spent our Saturday morning. It was such great weather we couldn't waist it inside.

 Rowan and mommy got some sun.

 My girls are the greatest!! They are always begging to help out in the house. After breakfast they wanted to do the dishes, so we let them. One would wash one would rinse and one would dry. I can't wait till they can cook and mop, ha  ha I will have my own little merry maids.

Our 3 Little Stars

Poor Rowan is 11 weeks old and already has her first cold.Her Dr is having us giver her breathing treatments with the mask and albuterol. She dosen't seem to mind it, she will even lean toward the mask to get her face closer to it.
Portlin, Tru and Dutch had their Primary talent show last night. They did so good and looked so cute doing the song and actions.

Portlin drew a pitcher for her talent and it was displayed on the table so everyone could see it.She was so proud everytime someone would come to look at it.. she is such a sweet girl, we love her to death!!
Brian is so out nubered!! GO GIRLS!!!

Rowan's Speical Day

Rowan is a week old! She has brought so much joy to our family! We love you baby Rowan.


We blessed Rowan the First Sunday in March, her daddy gave her such a beautiful blessing.

Rowan Stella Gallagher is here!!!

Friday the 5th, our 5th anniversary I went into labor at home. My contractions started around 5:00 p.m and were 5 min apart. It was about 8:00 p.m when we went to the hospital. It was a super long labor but to my surprise it was not to bad. I got the epidural around 3:45 a.m and I was dilated to a 7. My water broke around 6:00 am and I had her at 7:28 a.m everything went so smooth!! I pushed 4 times and out she came! Rowan was 6 lbs 13 oz and was 18 inches long.

Welcome to the world baby Rowan!!
Proud big sisters, Portlin, Tru and Dutch.

Christamas 2009

The girls had so much fun sleigh ridding! Pa pa Jeff pulled them behind the ranger.
Daddy, Dutch and Tru up at the cabin for New Years.



Christmas Morning, I didn't take pic of the girls opening their gifts for some reason... we just did video so this was all I got.


Christmas eve, the girls put milk and cookies for Santa Clause.
We have been telling them since I got pregnant that the baby would come after Christmas so they were disappointed when she didn't come out on Christmas, but it was the only way to explain when she was coming. (I'm not due till February 16Th) but they don't remember Valentines day to use that holiday and don't understand weeks or months so they are still waiting for her to get here. I think we really confused them because Tru still tell people that the baby is coming after Christmas.

Thanksgiving at the Gallagher's cabin

This year we had Thanksgiving with the Kings! Brian, the girls and I drove up on Wednesday and met my Parents and siblings that night, so we all spent the night there. It was so much fun to see everyone!The following day was Thanksgiving and the rest of the Kings came up. It was good to see grandpa King and my aunts and uncles.

Pretty soon we will have one more to add to the family!! We are super excited!

This trip was the first time we got to see my sisters new baby boy, Bridger. He was 4 weeks old and so tinny. I would help her give him a bath and and get him dressed, it was so hard to do that with someone so small. I have forgotten how to hold and dress a baby ha!! I better learn fast since I have about 9 weeks left until I will have my own at home.
