A Pirates Life for Me!

This weekend we decided to take a ride on the trolley by our house and see if we could see a new view of the city. After we got on the trolley, we noticed the majority of everyone was dressed in their Pittsburgh Pirates attire and thought, "hey why not?" So we made a detour and went to the baseball game Saturday night. It was a blast! (and we don't even like baseball...) The stadium is way cool and it was actually an enjoyable family activity! Maybe I will end up becoming a baseball fan!

Adventures in Oz

At Sky Harbor.... forever!

Petey got to sit in the cockpit and take a picture with the Captain! How cool is that?!


And now we arrive in Pennsylvania... the real fun begins...

Have you ever tied down a mattress to the top of your exploder? Neither have we.

As promised, here are the pictures of our house and surrounding area.

Across the street is an elementary school

Here is an exciting thing... its called a ceiling. Wow.

The dining room- though the living room has its own fireplace to match!

The front of the house. I will post 'after pics' when I get everything set up in my house the way I want it... until then...

Word of the Day

Hot. Can you say it? Peter can. And he does! EVERYTHING is HOT! "Hot Car" "HOT cheese" "Hot Truck" "Hot Ball!" Its sooo funny. He doesn't know when it really is hot, but its sure funny to see him add it to random words! I love it!

Moving...to Pittsburgh!

Things I hate about moving (in no particular order)
1. Packing
2. Leaving Friends (esp. Kim and Steve)
3. Leaving Family
4. Leaving Jack
5. Eating out so much
6. Leaving my dirt running trails behind my house

Things that are positive about moving
1. Throwing things away so you don't have to pack as much
2. New place to rearrange and decorate and make 'mine'
3. no more living in my parents basement. (can I get a HECK yes!)
4. Making new friends
5. Exploring a new part of the country
6. Me staying at home to be a full time mommy! Yippee!

Its here at last, and bittersweet! Bryan is on the road in our Exploder w/ Chris and the trailer. We hope it makes it. The transmission is being retarded but no one could figure out the problem, so Bryan decided to chance it cross country... Along the way he will eat at RUDY's, visit his GRANDMA in MISSOURI, and friends in KANSAS CITY.
I get the pleasure of flying instead of driving 40 some odd hours. Peter, thank you!

More to come....

A Plethera of Pictures!

We took a trip to Lake Mary and Roosevelt this summer

Isn't Bryan mean???!!!

Ryan and Cori
I can't jump without my tongue sticking out...
My Bryan and my mom are in their own "gang"
Petey's life jacket prohibits eating... this picture was taken before he found that out. (he cant reach his hand into his mouth when wearing the jacket!)
Bryan needs a tower to jump really high, but this picture is cool enough...
Haley staring into oblivion and Jake
Standing up on the knee board is one of my favorite things to do at the lake!

So You Think You Can Dance... Round 2!

Cheryl Evans/The Arizona Republic
Host Cat Deeley (right) dances with Cori Brewton, 19, of Flagstaff, during the "So You Think You Can Dance" auditions in Phoenix on June 26, 2009

So I thought I could dance, then I got violently ill. Not even joking. I lost about 5lbs this week because I couldn't keep any food in my system. And because I was puking, my sister Cori my friend Nicole Peterson went to the auditions for me, mostly as a joke.... And check out this picture that ended up in the AZ Central Newspaper! Yes friends, that is Cori and Kat Deely, the Host of SYTYCD! She got an interview, made it further than I did! WOW... I think part of it may have been her outrageous outfit. (Kat is wearing her headband and my friend Nikki's tutu! Hot stuff!) Its all about the outfit!!! (She is not really serious about dance, but she has a lot of fun and looks really cute.) Also, be on the lookout when the Fall Season starts for my friend Nicole P. She also got an interview and made it further than Cori did. She was REALLY ambitious with her attire and she has the flexibility of a slinky in her back.
EDIT: So I am not allowed to elaborate on any of this due to the fact that cori and nikki signed their life away. So if any of this is confusing, I am sorry!
