Family fun at the park - November 2010

It was one of those really chilly yet sunny and beautiful days in November when we decided that some fresh air would do us all some good. We headed to "purple park" (the name that the girls gave to the park at the middle school where we live) and I remember I was very COLD. I also happened to be pregnant at the time! Just a few shots to remember that fun day.........

Halloween and carving pumpkins - 2010

Some shots from Halloween and pumpkin carving. Jen was a dragon and Steph was Dracula. I love that they don't do the typical "girly" costumes that all their friends do (princess anyone???)

This is the face of a kid who has had one too many pictures taken of her cuteness.....

Corn maze and pumpkin picking - October 2010

Just some pics from last year's day at the farm......picking pumpkins, playing in the hay, and riding the zip line.

I really, really love fall.

Stephanie's 9th Birthday

Pics from Stephanie's 9th birthday.

All she wanted all year long was a Nintendo DS. Ron decided to trick her and wrap up an empty box of Mini Wheats (with the DS hidden inside). We thought she would get really upset that all she got was cereal as a present, but when she opened it she said she was OK with it. We told her to open it up and look inside and once she saw the DS we could see the relief wash over her face. It was hysterical!

Happy (belated) birthday sweet girl.....we love you so much more than you will ever know!

Ocean City, NJ - September 2010

Before the baby comes and all hell breaks loose I'm gonna try to catch up on posting a bunch of pictures/events that never made it up on the blog from last year and earlier this year.

These pics are from last September when we took a day trip to Ocean City, NJ. We wanted to spend one last fun day at the beach and on the boardwalk before the kids started back to school. The girls really love going to the beach and we always have a great time playing in the sand, jumping the waves, eating shore food, and riding on the rides on the boardwalk at the end of the day.

Jellystone - 2010

I was looking through my draft posts folder and found this post from last year that I never hit "publish" on.

Oopsie-daisies.

They're from 2010 when we took our 3rd trip to Jellystone Park in Quarryville, PA for our last camping trip of the year. Uncle Chris and Steve came with us on this trip and I remember it being a blast! Here are some pics:
