Beach/pictures with Grandkids

Well my mom had this bright idea to take my dad down to

see the beach. Lets just say when we got there we stayed a whole

2 min. Just long enough to take a two pictures. It was so cold.

My dad got to stay with us till Saturday morning. It was so nice to see him,

I was really thinking it was going to be a whole year till we would see him. Because

my family is coming out in July again. So thanks for the great Surprise Dad we

miss you tons already.

Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving was a huge success! We got one HUGE Surprise and I loved having most of my family here to celebrate it with us. So the Surprise was that my Dad came out to see us also. I have know from months now that my Mom and sister where coming to spend Thanksgiving with us, my dad just kept saying there was no way he could make it. So The night before Thanksgiving I was on the phone talking to my dad. When I heard the door bell ring. I figured it was my next door neighbor, anyways I opened the door and it was my Dad! I could not believe it. He flew into Pittsburgh and rented a car and surprised us. My Mom had no clue he was even coming. It was a great surprise but his visit was way to short. Hunter, Mom and Dad

Charlee

We also had some of our friends over to celebrate also.

And what is Thanksgiving with out watching some football!

TMNT Party!

Pittsburgh Nov. 2 & 3

During Matt's break from school (he had a week off). We went to Pittsburgh with some friends of ours The Ashments. We had so much fun and loved seeing Pittsburgh. What a great place I just loved everything about it.

Pittsburgh

This is what we rode to the top to see the city of Pittsburgh. Its called Monongahela Incline -- called the Mon Incline by locals -- is the oldest and steepest incline in the United States, as well as the nation's oldest cable car operation.

After we rode up and down the incline.
We went and ate at the Famous Pirmanti Bros .
and then walked around seeing some of the downtown.





I just love Carters little crack.


After dragging the kids everywhere. They need to release energy.
So we took them to a park and let them play. They had a ton of
fun on this blue slide that you go down on card board.

I love this picture (just not my double chin)!

After checking into the Hotel and swimming for a bit.

We went back up the incline to see the city at night.

Man was it beautiful. I shot all this night pictures in manual mode.

I just love the clouds and all the lights.

This is right out side the Hard Rock at Union Station! They have a light

show with water and music. They kids had tons of fun dancing.

Happy Halloween!!

We started out our Halloween day bright and early with soccer games for Hunter and Tyson (pictures to come of them soon). After their games we got ready and went to Wegmens to go trick or treating. They boys love Wegmens I get to grocery shop while the 3 older boys play in their play center. I love my Lion!

Hunter decide to actually wear the pirate

outfit I bought for him to wear.

His been spider man and Hulk also.

My cute little dragon.

After going around the store and getting candy.
They had an area blocked off with food and activities
for the kids to do.







HaLlOwEeN NiGhT!!
Matt and I are pirates if you can't tell. Our friends were
so kind to let us borrower them.
By the way I froze my butt off. I kept joking that
next year I am dressing up as an Eskimo. It was really one cold night it had
been raining all day long and cleared up just in time to go out.
The kids had tons of fun going from house to house.
