Okay... not always great, or even good, but always alive and kickin'. We are thankful to have each other and so grateful for our crazy kids who keep our lives blessed, our nights sleep deprived, and our hearts filled with joy.
About Me
- Great 8
- We are the Connelly Clan... eight crazy people all cranking through life together. Mom, Dad, Trevor, Abbey, Troy, Aubrey, Tyler and Caleb. It is a busy, wonderful, blessed life and we are so grateful for it!
Trevor
Trevor is 10 and has to be one of the nicest kids ever, at least according to his mom. He loves sports, whether it's playing or talking about them. He just finished basketball. He played point guard on his rec team and was selected to play on the all-star team for his division. He is now into baseball season. Brian is coaching his baseball team which Trev loves. Trev likes to impress his dad with his knowledge of sports. He is doing great in school, his favorite subjects are still recess and PE but math comes in a close third. Trevor placed 4th out of 350 runners in the cowtown kids 5k last month. He ran at a 7:30 pace and got awarded an extra special medal in front of his school. He is very proud of his medal and worked very hard to get it. We are very proud of him too he is a great friend, and good example to everyone around him. He is a hard worker and expects a lot of himself. He is an awesome big brother and if you don't believe me ask Tyler, who wants to sleep with "Trevie Bone" every nigh .
Abbey
Abbey is our free spirit. She loves the outdoors and nature and has a great love for animals. She just finished an after school art class that she loved and has developed a great talent and love for art. She is also doing great in piano, and along with her two brothers is improving every week. She is still better than them though, and with Aunt Amber's help is learning to play the Entertainer. She loves science and reading and memorizing poems. She has also grown to love basketball which she just finished as a leading defender on her team. She is aggressive in basketball which her coach (Daddy) loved. She is a loyal friend and sweet caring girl who is very helpful to her mom and baby brothers, and crazy sister who sometimes keeps her up later than she would like telling stories.
Troy
Troy boy is my witty 7 year old. He is quick thinking and has a cute little michevious smile. You can tell his mind is always thinking. He is a born leader and uses that power for good most of the time. he is great with little kids and has a lot of patience with them. He, of course, loves sports as well, and is not shy to tell you about his latest game, whether it is basketball, soccer, or baseball. He thrives on competition in and out of sports. He tends to do really well under pressure. He loves learning and gets upset if he gets anything less than 100. He loves anything that takes effort, except cleaning his room or doing the dishes.
Aubrey
I can't believe Aubrey is almost 5. She will be starting kindergarten in the fall and is attending preschool 2 times a week right now. She is always full of energy, and wants to take a big bite out of life. She loves being a big sister and is sooo good at it. She loves taking care of Caleb and playing with him, and babies just love her. She loves to be in charge which can drive her older brothers and sister a little nuts. She is getting very excited for school, and is starting to learn to read, which she is very excited about. She loves her friends and is playing on a soccer team with a few of them, with of course super dad Brian as their coach. It will be an exciting fun challenge to raise her and watch her grow up. She is a beautiful energetic girl.
Tyler
Tyler is our handsome, big brown eyed 2 year old. He is as sweet as sweet can be. He is absolutley into his 2 phase though. He is mischievious and full of energy. He loves chocolate milk, choo choo trains, and race cars. "No way mom" is his favorite thing to say and his ninny can't be too far away if he gets tired. I thought that blanket was going to be the end of my sanity he kept hiding it all over the house and then would cry when it came time for bed and we couldn't figure out he had put it behind the piano or in a door or stuffed in a box in the family room. He runs everywhere, and if you ask him his name, he always responds, "Me wookie." He has the best smile and laugh and loves to cuddle and play with all his brothers and sisters he makes everyone smile... well except when he wakes up and starts crying in your ear because he lost his blanket which is usually right next to him.
Caleb
Caleb is our chunky monkey baby. He is a beautiful blue eyed baby with the best smile. He is very patient and love his brothers and sisters but he expecially loves his mommy and daddy. It always fun to watch a baby grow
