School Dayz!!!

They had a class visit day today!  Rob got to go in while they were still doing work time and see some of what they do during the day.  He took some videos and pictures of Tristyn!  So cute.  I was sad I missed it, but I got to see video at least!

Rob and Joe's Winter Adventure (Hobby)

So they have come up with there winter past time, Snowboarding.  For the summer they got crazy into fishing and spent moneys and time out at the water trying for bigger and bigger fish with longer and longer fishing poles!  Now they have ventured into Snowboarding, watching, doing and researching every piece of equipment needed! We have made friends with our new neighbors and along with Joe, Rob has ventured to 3 other states for the snowboarding thrills!  Well Rob found out the hard way something they should have looked into before getting to involved!  Altho they have had much fun and even made friends with our neighbor, Rob is now paying for teaching the "old dog" a new trick!!! 

 ***Watch both videos/Make sure your sound is on!!!***

Sledding!

We took Tristyn sledding for the first time this winter.  We finally had enough snow to go to the golf course and try out there hills!

Santa Day!

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!

Merry Christmas to you and yours- From us and ours!  Hope you had a wonderful day!

Merry Christmas From School!

Again, just like for halloween, they sing us songs.  It's about 6 min long but you only really have to watch a little bit of it to see him singing!  Very cute.  Rudolf is the funny one!

Happy 26 Steph!!!

Yup, yup another year for me and again I am pregnant for it! Ha ha ha!  It was nice.  Very good birthday!

First Christmas Tree Decorating!!!!! 12-13

Up until this year we have not had a tree that Tristyn got to help decorate.  We all felt that at this age of being able to understand and remember things we better get going on giving him these memories.  Uncle Ed picked out our tree with Rob and I went and got some decorations.  We had a nice time.  Uncle Ed bought Tristyn a train to go around the tree that came a few days later.  Tristyn can add trains and get more track as the years go on.  It was fun.

Lunch with Santa 12-13

His school had a Day with Santa.  You could come in the morning for breakfast or in the afternoon and have lunch with ice cream.  We chose the ladder so that Grandma and Mary could go.

Tristyn's Baptism- Nov. 16

Tristyn had his Baptism on November 16th.  Joseph Toleno and Jennifer Howe were named his godparents.  It was a very nice service and we had a nice family dinner after.  He was very good, being the only child over a few months old there.  His godfather Joe, got him a beautiful cross that was also blessed by the father!

15 Week Apt.

Well all is well on the baby front.  We heard the heartbeat.  Tristyn also got to hear his heartbeat.  He is lucky that he is so cute because everyone loves him when he is there.  He drives my up a wall and they could care less what he is doing.  Sitting in there chairs, opening the garbage a hundred times and asking if he can take my blood.  HA HA HA!   I have another apt for a 20 week ultra sound and another appointment in 4 weeks.  They are quick with the appts!  Everything was good over all, good strong heartbeat, weight and health.

Momma and Jeni are visiting this weekend as we are having Tristyn baptised Sunday afternoon.  I will have pictures to post after everyone leaves on Monday!

A little history...... Gettysburg and Penn State!

Last weekend we took a little trip to Penn State after some trick or treating and candy eating!  We drove on Friday night to York and stayed at a very nice hotel with great big beds and even bigger bathrooms (something I have forgotten about since I have a stand up shower) oh yes and we must not forget about the yummy breakfast!  After a short nights sleep from our late arrival we decided to eat and head to our first stop- the Harley Museum.

Harley First-  We stopped by the museum but they were closed on Saturday so we just went into the lobby and got some pamphlets and some pictures.  Then we stopped at the Harley Shop that has been in the area for a very long time I guess.  Pretty cool place and some need history.  After that we headed on....

Gettysburg Second-  We have all been there once before, minus that Tristyn is only 4!  It was neat to see again and we took thi

s CD toured ride so we could go at our own pace and stop to see what we choose while it tells us all about the war and so on. 

We stopped at Hooters for dinner and to relax OUT of the car and then went back to the hotel.  I took Tristyn swimming at the ICE cold pool and then we 

got a little more sleep.  Next day home but FIRST-----

Then a little Cabella's to end the trip- We started the drive home, stopped and got some fireworks and then went to Cabellas.  It's a very cool place!  HUGE!  We took lots of pictures there of the stuffed animals and the hugeness of the store and had lunch in there food court.  We had Elk, very good, a lot like Roast Beef or sliced steak.  After 4 hours, pictures, a few souvenir type purchases and some FUDGE we headed out.  Took us some time to get out of Jersey once we got in and that was it!  Home Sweet Home!

That was our trip, it was a nice Halloween weekend!!!
