Happy St. Patty's Day!

Today was Newport's annual St. Patty's day parade! This is by far the most fun thing to do in Newport. We have quite a few Irish up in these parts so basically everyone in a 100+ mile radius is in our town today celebrating like crazy people in the streets. Of course as usual if there are crowds of people amassed in celebration you can usually find a Coyer or two close by. It's how we roll. :)

This morning bright and early we headed over to our friend Marty's house where his lovely wife, Maribelle had cooked a fabulous breakfast and then collectively headed off to the parade. Of course we all had to make sure we had as much green flare as humanly possible, we have to fit in and all. Once at the parade it was just a mess of people and happiness. I was a very proud redhead today. :)

Mary was pretty excited about her first St. Patty's day! :) She is so sweet.

Hey there


Todd and Marty and their noise makers. Every time they blew on these it blew out glitter everywhere. As you can see they are covered in it. They were a big hit.


They eventually started composing songs together.

Miss Mary was too cool for the parade. She opted to take a nap instead.
