So glad you are here!

We had such a wonderful time with my lifelong friend, Amanda and her adorable sons the other afternoon!

We are so glad that they now live close by and we can regularly get together!

Fun Moments over the past few weeks!

We went to the Army Navy Game in Philly-Tyler's last as a cadet at West Point

A INCREDIBLE WEEK IN FLORIDA-I WANT TO GO BACK!

 My dad has more pics, stay tuned for a more detailed update! :)

Riley and Sophie spent alot of time with Grandpa, Riley was his little shadow the whole week!

Back to COLD weather and heavy jackets! Happy 2010!

Lately...

I feel like these days and I guess since I have started my blog, the postings are very few and far between. That is why the title is always...lately, because this is what I have time for in my life at this point! So here is what has been happening the past few weeks! Thanks so much for visiting!

The girls love sitting in baskets!!! I find them many times like this, Riley on top of Sophie and them both crying because they are stuck in this position!

Yet again, another basket!

Dad, babysitting while I helped mom do some things, he loves giving them ice pops and they don't mind it too much either! :) Not to mention this was at 9:00 at night! :)

The girls first birthday party. I wish I would've gotten more pics! But these are just a few from the party.

The favors I had at each spot full of my Aunt Judy's peanut crunch-yum!

The girls's aunt and my sister-in-law made this adorable cake for them!

The table before everyone sat down...

They hated their party hats, so this is the only picture I could get with them on. Oh well!

They love helping me in the kitchen. I was making cookie batters here for a cookie bake and they wanted to be up with me, so I let them for a little bit! Not the safest thing to do I am sure, but they liked it!

Making Grandma's Donuts

My cousin Jackie and her husband Brad, (above) hosted a dinner and donut making party at their beautiful home a few weeks ago! We had delicious homemade soups by Jackie and such a wonderful time of fun together. She made our grandma's homemade donut and sticky bun recipe. Brad fried them up in the frier and they had such yummy toppings for us to drizzle overtop! THEY WERE SOOOO GOOD! And then she had leftover dough and made us each a round of the homemade sticky buns too!!! What a treat!! I had about 20 donuts too many, but I couldn't stop eating them. Thanks again for such a fun evening guys!

It was pouring rain and rather chilly this evening and Brad made a tent overtop of their deck and had a fire pit going-what an experience! :)

Trick or Treat!

I know this picture is already posted on my facebook, but I just love it! Don't they make such cute little flowers??? :) We had such a fun afternoon going to visit my husband and their dad at his work. They have a parade every year for the children of all the employees! We had a great time. As for actual trick or treating, we didn't make it to that this year, although it would've been a good opportunity for Chad and I to get candy.

The past few weeks..

This past Sunday, we dedicated our girls at our church. It was a very special morning.

Lots of fun playing with friends...

Had a fun time at the beach with family.

Grocery shopping was never so much fun!

Lunch with friends

I had such a fun time getting to enjoy lunch with dear friends the other day. For years, my mom, my Aunt Julie and their friend Terri have been have been meeting for lunch once a month and sometimes us daugthers get to join. We are close to the same age and all got married within a year of each other. Then we all had baby girls within a year of each other too! It was so neat being able to spend the afternoon together.
