Disney....


The Dwyer/Loesch Family Trip to Disney.....

Brayden after our ride on Pirates of the Caribbean...


We got to meet Minny! Mo's smile cracks me up here!







Brayden and Poppop on the Magic Carpet Ride...




AHHHH.. watch out Cam and Brayden.. if you look closely you can see me behind them being silly - I was holding Ava who didn't want to go in...



DUMBO.... you can't go to Disney and not to Dumbo...



Watching the Main Street USA parade...


The G- man w/ his ears...


This is the day Hugh stayed back and met up w/ us later b/c of his leg.. It would of been a good family pic.. oh well! We got more..



Love this shot of them...






Gorgeous day at Magic Kingdom...





This is from the parade at Animal Kingdom...



Brayden saying HI

Eating the Mickey Ears Ice Cream...






This was at the Tusker House in Animal Kingdom where we had our Character Breakfast




The whole crew.. My parents stayed back w/ Landyn and Tim stayed back w/ Brynna


Our fam...


What a whirlwind life has been. Hugh's got a staph infection in his knee right before Disney and life has just FLEW by.... The Dr. is still monitoring it and surgery is a possibility still..... but.. we had a great time in Disney! Travelling with 15 people- my parents, my bro's , their wives, and my 3 nieces and nephew... so all in all 15 people- 8 adults, one 5 year old, two three year olds, two 2 year olds, one 1 year old and a 5 month old!!! The kids did GREAT.. I mean GREAT. For the amount of sleep they were getting, the TONS of stimulation they got through 4 days of park hopping , the JUNK food they were eating, they all did so great. Our house was awesome. It was a 7 bedroom- 5 bath, complete with Disney themed rooms for the kids and a enclosed swimming pool and jacuzzi. AWESOME. The boys enjoyed their Toy Story themed room while the girls had the Tinkerbell and Princess rooms. So fun. We got to have breakfast with Donald and friends which was awesome. IF it weren't so pricey I think we could of done more character meals.. maybe next time! Brayden was able to do a lot b/c he is so tall for his age, and we were able to spend 2 days in Magic Kingdom. ONe day I took the 2 little ones back for a late nap, as we were planning on going back for Fireworks and Hugh stayed w/ Brayden and had a blast. Quite a bit easier to travel around stroller-less . THen our last day, we switched rolls and I had some one on one time w/ Brayden.. it was so much fun! So all in all , just a great trip.. I could go on and on..... We really want to take a Disney land/sea cruise in another 3 years , when the kids are 5, 6 and 8. It is hard when they still are used to taking naps etc. but again, they did great! Here are some pics to prove it!

Fall Fun

Well, we have had so much fun this fall, raking leave piles, making leave mazes, going to orchards, candy apples and today's fun of carving the pumpkin! Funny to see the kids personalities stick out.. who likes to dig in to the yucky feeling of a pumpkin and who doesnt! Too funny! I have a ton of pics from recently but here are a few! We leave for DISNEY in 4 days!!! Soooooo excited!

Here is my dad at his birthday with all the kiddos.


My sweet little girl....(well, most of the time sweet.. but she is 2 !)

Peddlers Village day


Whatta a gorgeous day it was!!!! We had an incredible worship time this morning led by my baby bro at church and then Hugh and I decided to be a bit crazy and skip naps (something we don't do often!) and take the kids to Peddlers Village to look at all the scarecrows and enjoy the day!
We had a great time- the weather was awesome, the kids had fun and we even got to enjoy goodies from a bakery that had Gluten-Free cookies for Gav! So fun! Here are a few pics from our day!

My kiddos...


You all with kids, know how hard it is to get them all looking... oh well...


My sweet "baby".....


I think she's pretty cute I must say......:)


My big man! (he wanted pics next to about every scarecrow!!!!)


Gavin cracks me up with his little legs crossed!






I played with this pic a bit to make it look kind of different.. I think it's cute...

More fall stuff...

What a gorgeous week we had! (except the one windy day!) I had fun taking the kiddos to the park and Terhunes. (a local apple orchard) Looking forward to a great weekend! The boys have swimming in the morning then there is a community festival we'll hit up and check out. Brayden has off on Monday which is great, but Hugh has to work- bummer.. anyway, heres a few more pics from recently!

Fall is here!

Well, I know it's been awhile.. it seems fall came, school started, Awana clubs started and life just got crazier then normal. Brayden is doing great in school and loving it! I"m still getting used to having just the two at home, it's really weird! We have enjoyed a lot lately- Terhunes Orchard, the Italian-American Festival and so much more! We have my niece Cammi last weekend for a night and last night we just watched Ava and Landyn so Bry/Marsh could go out! So we have had fun. Here are some random photos of life around here lately. They are TOTALLY random~
