PEEK -A- BOO!!!!
It was so very, very cold... I stayed inside to take pictures. The kids noticed me taking them and thought it was funny to make faces through the window. Silly kids!

Memories

Friends and Family I wanted to put a slide show on my Blog titled "memories" I plan on changing the pictures quite often. It will be based on Holiday's or fun times that we miss with all of you. So keeping watching and you could see holidays, birthdays, cruises, vacations, weddings ect. The slideshow I posted today is pictures taken on Thanksgiving 2007 at my Mom's house (we don't usually have it there, but it was fun)

Super Duper SMILES!!!

It is so hard for me to get pictures of Aleyah with a smile... I bring out the camera and she just clams up...so today I went nuts with her... I love her cute little smiles and I finally have proof!

Mommy and Me

The kids and I had a little fun with the camera, not much else here to do in PA when it rains alot. Besides Madison begs me all the time to use the camera so what could it hurt.

My little reader

Madison has learned how to read and loves it. I found her like this and thought it was so cute

Halloween at Fort Allen Elementary

Here is Madison at here school parade... what a darling little princess!

Carving the Pumpkin

Okay so the pictures are loaded backwards but I don't want to change them so Here is the fruit of our labors Mr Jack o Lantern. And all these other pictures are the pumpkin GOO FIGHT we got into and it was huge, I had to clean Shane, myself, the kids, the walls, windows, table and floor. BIG mess but totally worth it... so much freakin' fun!

Aleyah

Aleyah was afraid of the goo in the pumpkins so she would not help. So these are the pictures I took of her... they were so cute I had to put them in. She looks so sad, but actually she was afraid... it was so funny she was kissing the pumpkin... but then as soon as we cut it open she was afraid of it.

SLACKER!!!

I know I have been remiss in getting my blog updated often enough! Well today I went to download pictures from my camera to my computer and my interface cable (I just learned today what that is) is not working. So I ordered a new one online and I should get it some time this next week then I can put new pictures of Halloween up! Yeah!

Family Pictures in the Park

We wanted to have some family pictures so we took the kids to Mt Odin park/golf course and took these pictures. The leaves here are changing and it is AWESOME!!! But just pictures of the trees do not look even close as they do in real life.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a Pumpkin Patch for one of our Family Home Evenings, each of the kids got to pick out their own pumpkin. It was so much fun!

Shane's school

This is the actual college campus St. Vincent: Right now Shane has all of his classes here at the school and I go here almost every morning to workout. Another view of the fields and some buildings at St. Vincent
This is Excela, he will have some classes here in the next few semesters. (It's the one on the end)

SEPTEMBER 2008

Here are some pictures for September, boring...yes a little. We have done some fun things, like we went to Pittsburgh and rock climbed at REI. But as luck or my unique talent would have it, I forgot the camera. So I decided just to post some pictures of us anyway.

Shane studying... he does alot of that can you imagine! Don't you love the earphones, they help him block out the noise from his family.
Me teaching the FHE lesson.
