Not much going on..

I haven't really posted a lot lately or even said much.  We have been busy but nothing exciting enough to post.  But, spring is coming and the exciting times will be coming again.  Well, I just wanted to post a little something since it has been a while since I have.  Keeping it short and sweet..

Go Steelers!!

WOW! What a Super Bowl.  Joe's team the Steelers (if you can't tell) went to the Super Bowl and what a game!  

So, for Joe I had to do a little dedication to the Steelers and there great effort yesterday and as always at the last minute the win. We had a great time and what a Super Bowl to remember.  It has to be the best yet for me.

        GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!

A New Year 2009...

Well the New Year is here and even though you want them to be great mine hasn't started off the greatest.  My parents were here for Christmas and the New Year and we had a great time.  Then I received a phone call sunday night that my cousin (one I haven't seen in a long time) died and they weren't sure from what yet.  Even though we weren't close I feel bad for the his parents that I have had a relationship with and just feel for them with the pain there going through and then wanting answers to how a 28 year could die so young. 

 I am praying and trying to have as much Faith as I can that things will be the same this year as any other year and that Joe will have his job and there won't be any permanent layoffs.  I hope for Health and strength for our family and the big one as always do better with what I'm suppose to be doing and also try and lose more weight.

We appreciate all our Family and close friends that we have and for all that you do to help us.  We wish all of you a Wonderful New Year and wish you all the Best!

Happy New Year  2009..........

Thanksgiving Point......

My parents are in town for a week and we wanted to go last year to see Thanksgiving Point at the Christmas season with there lights and the drive thru setting, so we figured why they were here and because it is freezing out there it would nice to look at lights and ride in the warm car. After you drive thru at the end and then up by the entry they had real rain deer.  The boys just loved it!  They couldn't believe that Santa had left behind a few rain deer for them to see (it was the funniest thing).  It is very pretty there this time of year. Maybe next year will dress a little warmer and walk around and see all the shops and what they have to offer.  

Joe took a picture of my parents and the boys in the car at Thanksgiving Point and as you can see they weren't ready for it, which is how Joe likes to take picture..

Christmas Morning...

There's nothing like Christmas morning.  A special Thanks to a few places and people for a wonderful holiday.  K-mart for there layaway program this year, my brother for helping out (Thanks again) and gifts from the grandparents I think the boys did pretty good I would say.  They got everything they would want and then some.  But, besides getting this year we also gave and helped out with a Shelter this year.  We went to the dollar store and bought the items that were needed and then gave them away.  The boys went with me and as we bought the items and after I explained to them how lucky they are and that items even though simple were needed by these people and that they would appreciate it so much.  I love this time of year to show my boys how giving, just not getting is important and that I wish the feeling was around all year round, but at least through the Holiday season they understand that its just not about them and there needs its about helping and caring about those that need it most.  Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Holiday Season!
