Year End in review

Here is our fall year end in review....I wish I could stay more up to date on the blog,

but it seems to fall towards the end of my "to do" list anymore. We had a great Christmas

and so glad everyone stayed healthy...Looking forward to 2012, Chloe will be turning 5!!

Where has the time gone? It's just so hard to believe....we are planning to head back to

Disney this year, where Chloe has her heart set on going back to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique

and being Rapunzel this year(she's a little obsessed with the movie, but then again, so I am I,

it's SO cute!) It's also hard to believe the school year is half over...this fall, I will have a

9th grader, 6th grader, 3rd grader, and a Kindergartener!

Waiting to board



My little model, posing before school one day....got her dress from Etsy-

which I can now say I am addicted to!

Summer Fun at a local Amusement Park

Of course, Andrew has to add some sort of excitement to the game :)

Funny how little ones are fascinated by a tube blowing out air and a

plastic ball floating above.....

Suspension bridge....not so much fun when you're being followed

behind by those lovely kids who like to make it bounce and sway as

much as possible, my husband included....






Lots of fun!
Go, go, go-we won-I'm sure because of the extra weight from momma ;)



Just chillaxin.....


Taking in our annual trip to a Pittsburgh Pirates game...

Um, cotton candy anyone? :)




The Pittsburgh Pirates #1 fan!

He's got his mitt ready!

Preschool days are here!

It's so hard to believe my baby is old enough for preschool! Where has the time gone? She was super excited to go...it is a half day preschool, so it is a perfect 2 1/2 hours for her. We had a few tears after the "newness" of the whole preschool thing wore off...but it is getting much better...

Ok, how grown up does she look here?
