THE END!!!

Shoppin' with my Sista....

Altoona Trip...

Recently, after Ashley's medical issues we started talking and exchanging pain/hospital stories. In the end, I hope to have encouraged her, cause I KNOW that she has encouraged me. So, Ashley (my sister) and I decided to take a day and do TONS o' shoppin' up in the big city o' Altoona. We also decided to take LOTS o' pictures. We got to the end o' the day, and it was time for Ashley to go home, and guess how many pictures we took...NONE!! Yup, that's right! So we took 5 minutes before driving home to take pictures o' everything we had done throughout the day!! (: Enjoy! (:

My favorite picture o' ALL!

Our bags from shoppin'... see how heavy they are?

Our receipts...I think mine's a li'l longer.

My new scrapbooking books...
Hospital Book (left) & my First Year Marriage (right).

Scrap-booking Stuff...YEAH!!!

Lookie at all the papers I got...

So...the story? We went to Michael's to get all my scrapbooking stuff b/c that's gonna be my newest "hobbie'...haha... We shall see how long it lasts. Anyway, it was WAY overwhelming looking at the hundreds o' racks o' papers and the millions o' racks o' stickers. I knew that I needed paper for my Christmas pictures, so I started picking out all the green and red papers...after I got 20 papers for my Christmas section, I realized I wouldn't be making 20 pages o' Christmas 2009!! Haha...so anyway it was a crazy time! Finally, after approximately 2 hours browsing thru all the scrap-booking and we ended up with a BIG bill (which I used ALL my Christmas money) and lots o' supplies! (:

While Ashley was trying on jeans at Old Navy, I sat at the kiddie table and colored her a picture. (Oh, and I made myself a "Ta Do" List!) (:

I actually made food that Ashley liked!! (: Haha...We had Italian/BBQ Chicken, scalloped potatoes, and corn! It was DELISH! Oh, and the strawberry syrup was for my milk!! LOVE strawberry milk!! (:

SUPPER!!!

Then after supper, all the boys stopped by, brought the flat screen, and the Wii...I provided the supper. Here are the boys eating and playing Wii!!

Supper & Wii...

We are SO darn CUTE!!!
(except my face...yuck!)

See what I mean...

I'm pretty sure my pills kicked in right about HERE!

Oh...and maybe here too...

Supper for the boys...PIZZA ROLLS!!!

This is my new decoration for my house...it's IRISH, a shamrock for our home...oh, and it has li'l bell things that will jingle when guest come into our house...so come visit so you can see our door thing!! (: YEAH!!! I love being super IRISH!

This is when we dropped Ashley off at her house, Julia was in on the computer...we were spying on her!! Haha...it was hilarious! She was kinda upset! But we still love her! (:

I had a wonderful time hanging out with Ashley, oh and Ashley even got to meet our new nephew ELI!! (: Glad we got SOME pictures, next time hopefully we remember to take more pics!! (: So much for charging my camera all night so I could take picture! YEAH for sisters!!

THE END!!!

Uncle Ace & Aunt Jill...

New Years...

Happy 2010!!
This year we spent New Years up at Uncle Chucky's house. There was lots o' family, friends, and o' course LOTS o' pork & sour kraut!! (: I tired to take a bunch o' pictures b/c it's not too terribly often that I get to see ALL the family together at one time!! (:

Me & The Host... Uncle Chucky!

I know that this is VERY old, but Caden woke me up the one day and accidentally scratched up my nose. Can you see all the li'l scratches from his sharp li'l finger nails?

Watching the Game on the Big Comfy Chair...

Where's Uncle Chucky's NOSE??
(Please note the PSU game on the tv.)

Best Buds...

Chucky "getting" Cody in the neck!

/\/\/\ Cody being silly. /\/\/\

This is Uncle Tim teaching Cody that if anyone attacks him and pins him down, all Cody must do is "kick...kick..kick...kick...kick!!" What a nice uncle? I personally love that he only has one shoe on!! (:

The Kick, Kick, Kick Maneuver

This is Cody shooting Rocky, Uncle Chucky's dog. I love how he chuckles at the end. So adorable. Oh, and I wonder who taught him this?

Cody Shoots Rocky!

Cody & Alisha's MAC...

"Cheese" Cody...

This makes me want to poop my pants...

What Cody was doing on the MAC....

Here are a few clips o' Cody from the day. Please enjoy. Isn't this SO funny!?! Oh, he is such a character!! Hilarious! Enjoy these clips from Cody making faces at Alisha's MAC, and him being such a funny li'l guy!! (: What a joy to be around!!

MAC..."Say Cheese Cody!"
Cody's first impression o' faces on the MAC.

MAC..."Uh-Oh!"
This one I was laughing so hard, I fell over!

MAC..."Smile Cody."
Oh wow...could this be ANY funnier!?

/\/\/\ Playing Wii /\/\/\

After everyone left Uncle Chucky's & Aunt Tam's house, they asked if we wanted to play Wii.

Ace's reply, "I'm not much o' a video game person."

Chucky's reply to that, "Well, this is not anything like a video game!"

Thus, Chucky and Ace embarked on the Wii playing bowling, ping pong, etc...I took some video clips. I hope you enjoy them, b/c let me tell you something...it was HILARIOUS!! I'm terribly sorry that some o' the video's are sideways and that you have to crook your neck!! I'll have to work on that!! Please enjoy!

Chucky swordfighting.
Oh, this was hilarious!

Oh...the concentration.
You missed the butt wiggle. ):

Ace following thru on his bowl.

Lining up the controllers or something?

Yeah...don't ask what they are doing?

Wii Players.

Tom is on the left...Ace is on the right.

/\/\/\VIDEOS FROM Wii NIGHT/\/\/\

Chucky's Strike.

Please note the pose he does after he gets the strike. Only Uncle Chucky would do something crazy silly like that. He's actually VERY good at bowling!! (: Not sure about real bowling, but Wii bowling he's good!! (: Sorry this is sideways! ):

Ace wins the game!!

After seeing the above two videos, I'm sure there is not a doubt in your mind, that Uncle Chucky is the greatestest ever! (I, for one, already know that!) However, the scores tell a different story. I'm sure that Uncle Chucky will say that he took it easy on Ace and that he let him win; however I'm sure Ace has a different story. Anyway...here is Ace's last frame and the final score! (: Also see if you can see the pictures o' each o' them...it's actually quite funny!

Ace vs. Chucky

Chucky and Ace playing pingpong/table tennis, whatever the heck you want to call it. I love how into it they were getting...it cracks me up!! (:

Ace and his amazing sword fighting ability!!
Who wants to take him on??

Hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year, and many more to come. It was a great time to spend with our family, wish we could have a party like this EVERY month!! (:

THE END!!!
