I'm so proud of my hometown of Philadelphia for winning the World Series last night! Way to go guys!

Picking out our pumpkins...

Sorry I've been so out of touch. Things have been very crazy here, but good crazy not bad. We've been to the park every day this week running around and the boys are discovering a new way to go down the slide each time and seeing how many times Mommy has to say no to eating the mulch (ewwww....). Anyway, this past weekend we went over to St. Monica's for their annual Pumpkin "Patch". Its really cute how they have it set up, but I have to say it is a lot less intense of a holiday here than in PA. No hayrides, or corn mazes or apple cider...at least as far as I know. All in all the boys didn't know the difference and totally dove into the pumpkins and helped pick them out. See the pics below.

Then Tuesday night my wonderful husband took me out for a "date night". We had dinner at sunset on the beach...what more to say right?? Anyway, here is a picture a nice couple took of us on the beach as soon as we got there. As the sun went down, the stars came out and it was just breathtaking. I'd pass on the corn maizes anytime over eating dinner on the beach at the end of October, let me tell you!!!! Thanks, Keith for a wonderful night. Doesn't the background in the pic look fake? Trust me it was real...it was definitely real.

Trip to Tampa

This past weekend we traveled to Tampa to stay at my cousin, Jack and his family's house. We had a great time...Keith was able to go jet skiing, and we all went on the boat to the beach across the lake from their house. We also traveled to the Tampa Lowry Park Zoo-which was fantastic. There was even an albino alligator there, that was awesome. The boys also were able to pet some sting rays although we did not feed them. The highlight of my trip personally was to be able to see my Uncle Jack who came down from Clearwater with his friend Terry. I hadn't seen him in probably 25 years and then I got to see him twice this year! I'm very blessed to be related to such a wonderful guy and his sister (my Grandmother). They are wonderful people. Here are some pictures from our trip. Thanks, Peak family for a wonderful time!

Up and Running!

Hey~
Well my E-Bay Store is up and running! It took a while to get it going although once I started it was very easy. Please stop by and check it out! I started doing these scrapbook pages to enhance pictures and I love how they turned out-so now its my business. I also started listing kids DVD's and CD's. I'll be adding more as time goes on.

Wish me luck!! =)

PS-Click on the link to the right that says "My E-bay Store" to check it out! Ok, thanks again!!!!

Proud Mama...

Last Saturday, the boys and I adventured out to Max Hasse park. This is my favorite park in the world because its small and fenced in-perfect for my little guys. Having two 2 year olds may seem hard to a lot of people, but I can tell you its also twice the fun. Evan is saying and doing all kinds of things such as before going down the slide, he'll scream "blastoff!" He also walks down the stairs on the junglegyms all by himself (holding onto the rail of course). Aidan is now counting to five and he is so proud of himself for it! I think all this child needs is for you to get so excited about something he's doing and it makes his confidence soar! By the way, Evan is also counting... and he makes it all the way to eleven! I am so proud of my little guys. There may be some issues with their development, but as their mom I can tell as they grow, they are going to grace this world with their beautiful personalities and I'm so proud to call them "my sons". I love you, my little monkeys!!

Say hello to my little (new) friend, the treadmill...

Hello...So some time ago I was watching John and Kate plus 8 and heard Kate use the phrase "butt in the front" about her stomach. Now, I do not have 8 children but I can relate to the butt in the front comment. So instead of sitting on my butt I have been going to the gym in our community here and working out like crazy. The first night I was only able to do 1 mile (power walk) and could only do a half hour on the treadmill. Tonight on the other hand I was on it for an hour and did 3 miles and burned over 300 calories. I don't really worry about the calories because for me that's like 2 cookies. And I love cookies. If you saw my butt you'd know that. Anyway, onto the butt in the front, I know its not going to go away completely but I have to tell you I feel so much better after I do work out. What a great tension buster!
The boys are doing great, they are getting astronomically big and smarter everyday. Being two, they love to push my buttons but overall they are great kids. Next weekend we are going to Tampa to visit my uncle and cousins for the weekend then we are going to meet up with Keith's brother Scott and his wife Megan for dinner or something in Ft. Lauderdale (they are down from PA). It will be great to see everyone. So, I'll be sure to add some pictures as soon as we get back. Talk to you then!

This movie is hysterical!

My friend Jennifer and I went to see The Women last night and it was Fantastic. If you get a chance go see it, I enjoyed every minute!
