Niagara Falls, Canada

I took a trip with some family members to see Pearl Heart in Canada. We left early Saturday morning 3/5/2011 and arrived around 3 p.m. We got to the Hilton around 5 and started to get ready for Jeffrey Steele. We at dinner and then went to the show, it started it at 9 and the first time at 11:30 p.m. Then he had a 30 min encore!!!!! We we all really tired but it ws a great show. Sunday we went to the falls and took a lot of pictures. It was beautiful and I can't wait to see it again sometime when the weather is warmer. We went to see Pearl Heart's show and it was amazing. After the show we went shopping a little and the to the pub with Pearl Heart and their friends from the band and show. After talking with them for about 2-3 hours we then invited them back to our room to play dice. It was a lot of fun, everyone was so friendly. I was really tired so I didn't play all night long like everyone else. We left on Monday and had 2 great flights home. I missed my boys a lot. I bought them all a back pack from Canada. I know Matt really likes his, Mike said in a whiny voice, " I don't want a back pack." Danny and Chris are still too young. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Peanut butter Jelly

I was a little jealous of Chrissy's kids eating an easy meal like peanut butter and jelly, so I made it with strawberry jelly like she does. They loved it. I decided to play the song for the boys and they loved it...Watch below..This is what we did on our first snow day of the Blizzard!

Twas the Night Before Christmas and....

Christmas Eve was a busy day. I had to finish up a few last minute gifts. I procrastinated a too much. I had Wednesday and Thursday off with no kids and I still didn't get much done besides laundry and some of my house. Since we were going to 5 o'clock mass, I had to let the boys open a present from me. It was the shirts that they were going to wear. They were all the same, but different colors.

Chris wanted to eat instead of opening his present

Danny was just excited to be on the couch without me telling him to get down

The Kempland's came over to help me get the kids ready for church. They brought over some presents for them. After church, I let the boys open the big gift. It was the hit of the night. I had to wake Matt up to open it.

Danny was saying 'cheese' for this picture

The boys also got new pajama's because they only have 1 each. I had to give a lot of them away because they were too small or the babies kept slipping. (Chris) I had them sit in front of the tree to get a picture, but it was kind of hard to get them all too look.

Yo Gabba Gabba, Yo Gabba Gabba, Yo Gabba Gabba, Yo Gabba Gabba......YOOOOOOOOOOO!


The boys are starting to watch more than just The Backyardigans.....although I hear Austin, Austin, Austin over and over, I also hear Gabba Gabba.......Chris love watching tv. He even dances with the shows. At the beginning of Gabba Gabba, dj Lance moves his arms when he is singing....

BOO!!!!! @ the ZOO!!!

Saturday, 10/30/2010 I took the boys to BOO-at-the-ZOO! They had a good time and were really well behaved, but I don't think I will do it again. It is always more fun when there is family around, so that is what we did. Kelly D. went with me and the boys, Chrissy, Jim, Brian, Gina, Katie, Michael and all the kids in tow. Katie and Michael caught up after I left. So we actually had 2 group photos. The kids liked the 4 pieces of candy they received for standing in the longest line ever. Next time, I will take the kids to the Zoo after halloween and bring my own bag of candy for them. It was a good picture opportunity.
