party of 5

Published on August 9, 2013 by kristenperreault4 Comments

It has taken us over three weeks to finally get a photo of all 5 of us together and while everyone isn’t smiling, it’s us, our family. Seemingly over night we have grown to be a party of 5, a fully loaded only-one-extra-seat sport truck (minivan) family, a more children than I have arms for family, a zone defense instead of man defense family, a wild and crazy house full of boys family. I am sure I could keep going but you get the point. I frequently find myself stopping in the middle of doing something only to be caught off guard by how full our house has become. And while some days are tough and all days are busy we have three beautiful, healthy little boys and I can’t help but think how lucky we are. As Jamie put it a few days ago, we are lucky beyond words.

Jay, meet Luc

Jay was wonderful when he met Charlie and he was again wonderful when meeting Luc. The kissing picture was not staged at all, it was the first thing he did when we put Luc in his lap. Luc is a lucky guy to have a big brother in Jay

blue waters- water skiing and tubing

Published on July 12, 2013 by kristenperreault2 Comments

This year during the beach trip we were able to take advantage of a pretty amazing boat. Jamie’s dad, Pepere, belongs to a boat club which he generally uses to have fishing boats while he is in Terra Ceia; however, while we were at the beach he rented a deck boat and the family was able to do some skiing and tubing along with other boating activities.

While I would have loved to have gone skiing or tubing I decided that I didn’t actually want to have our son while were on vacation and I played the part of photographer from the boat. I kicked myself for not having our big camera (dslr) with us but I do love the photos that we did get of everyone having fun. We even were able to give the boys a turn, riding with Daddy of course, and although their faces don’t really show it they really enjoyed themselves.

The first couple of photos are Uncle Bob’s, he took some amazing photos (with his DSLR) of Josh and Jamie skiing before I grabbed our camera. Josh has been skiing for quite awhile and this was Jamie’s second shot at it.

blue waters- beach time

Published on July 11, 2013 by kristenperreault1 Comment

Here’s the second installment of photos- the beach. We spent almost every morning on the beach playing in the beautiful water and sand. It was glorious and these photos don’t really do it any justice.

Charlie LOVED standing in the crashing waves and almost getting knocked over.

on a few of the days Charlie took it upon himself to nap while in the ocean

blue waters- pool time

Published on July 10, 2013 by kristenperreault3 Comments

Because of the sand and salt water I don’t take my super large camera (DSLR) with us frequently when we spend time at the beach; there is just too much that could go wrong. That being said I tote around our waterproof camera with us almost everywhere we go which results in tons of water photos. Here’s the first set of those photos from our many, many dips in the pool.

By the way, I am pretty sure that my children are half fish and I know that my husband is. I am constantly having to drag them all out of the pool…

A week ago we returned from a wonderful week at the beach, Anna Maria Island specifically, and while laundry and a sick kiddo have kept me from being able to post these as soon as we returned here they are for you to enjoy. While we were there I was 34 weeks pregnant, and on my last week of allowed travel per Doctor’s orders, so while I was moving a little more slowly we made the best of it and cherished our time as a family of four.

I am pretty short on words these days, I blame the tiny person inside of me along with the other two that are running around outside of me, so instead of a whole lot of commentary I will just let the photos speak for themselves and say a great time was had by all. As usual, we have a ton of photos from the week so I will break them up into a few posts so I don’t overwhelm you.

If you would like to see some of the photos from our last trip, it’s a semi-annual trip made by Jamie’s family, check out this, this, this or this post.

My lap is full and my heart overfloweth… Happy Mother’s Day to all of the amazing Momma’s out there. I am blessed to be surrounded by so many.

easter

We were in rare form this past Easter- Charlie was teething really badly and Jay, Charlie and I were also battling a terrible cold (thankfully Jamie never got it). So despite all of the photos that I took we didn’t walk away with a fabulous picture perfect family photo, oh well- this is us Easter 2013 grumpy and all.

slip sliding away

Published on May 3, 2013 by kristenperreault2 Comments

We have our moments these days with a constantly teething toddler (Charlie) and an independent/stubborn 3 year old and needless to say not all days are filled with rainbows and unicorns. However, last week on an especially difficult day we pulled out the slip n slide and Jamie tossed the boys down it over and over again until they were turning purple and we had to come in. It was hilarious to watch, the boys LOVED it and it was such a nice end to our day. It was definitely $5 well spent, yes you read that correctly it was only $5- thank you target ;)
