The McMahon Family

Patrick had his first piano recital this summer. He rocked it! He was so excited to play on this piano. His instructor told him it’s worth over $80,000. He did a great job!

We celebrated 20 years this year. We started out so young…and I’m so happy we did. We’ve grown into the adults we are together.We went away for the weekend and it was wonderful. I love you, Shannon Paul. I can’t wait for the next 20 and beyond!

The boys and I enjoyed a great evening at the Demo Derby!

Mac’s All Star team had another disappointing tournament. Although they didn’t place, they seeded third and had a fun beginning. Despite the team’s disappointments, Mac was his usual hitting self (until Mom showed up the last game!).

And like we try to do most summers, Nicki and I took the boys on a quick trip…this year to Six Flags. We crashed in on Nate and Kimberly to see their new place and hang out for a fun evening then headed off to the next day for the coasters!

On the road!

The first evening, we went with Halle and Eleanor (and Aunt Kimberly!) to the arcade and played games.

Star Wars!

It’s a tie!

We destroyed some dinosaurs together!

Next stop: Six Flags!

He’s tall enough!

Ready for our first ride!

Here we go!

There we go!

He rode it twice!

And soaking wet on our last ride…

Our Disney trip put the roller coaster bug into my boys and both were ready to ride some real rides! I was excited to have everyone big enough to ride and so off we went!
