(6.15)--House hunting....

Hmm...what house should we get??

We've been looking to buy a house, so since my dad pretty much knows everybody he was showing us a house that was for super cheep, 5 acres o' land; however, it needed a good deal o' updating. Since Johnny and Lindsay were around we all went to look at the house...I love how we can make anything a fun time. Here are some o' the pictures...

This is
the shed...

Lindsay told me I'd be all ready for Easter decorations...

Gorgeous Carport...

OOOooo...a lovely place for my veggies? ...or flowers?


Outside fire chimney...


Walking to go see the house...

A place to park our riding lawn mower, tractor, four wheeler, and snow blower...

Lovin' the decorations...

Old well maybe...we better watch our step...


More decorations for St. Patty's Day...


Shed with some chairs and a bag o' garbage treasures...

Johnny being silly for the picture...

...after Lindsay yelled at him...Much BETTER!!


Where we would send our children to play...
...TOTALLY JUST KIDDING...


Ah...on to the inside o' the house....

The pantry...

What a lovely bathroom, yeah?

See the train going by outside the window?


Lindsay, don't get your finger pinched by the mouse trap!!!

Johnny the BEAST!!

Taking a picture o' Johnny from outside to inside...


He says the bathroom works GREAT!!

Lindsay trying out the shower...

We enjoyed looking at the house, but we felt it was too much work for us, so we shall keep looking. Yes, this post is 4 months late, so most o' you should know that we did buy a new house...I'll try to work on posting more pictures here shortly...

THE END!!!

(6.13)--Babysitting

Babysitting David

David came over to our house to hang out with the coolest babysitter o' all times, he was going to spend the night and then I was to watch him all day Monday. Sunday evening after church, Ace took him for a motorcycle ride...He's wearing my pants... (:
Safety First...

Off they go...


After the bike ride, it was Wii Bowling...
I'm on the left with the pink ball...David is bowling...


David was asleep within the first 10 minutes o' the movie.

Guess we tuckered this li'l guy out...

Ace carried him up to bed...


What a wonderful evening it was. David was such a good li'l boy. I will have you know that I did beat him at Wii Bowling...although, he kicked my butt in basketball and everything else. Haha...what a great time!! (:

THE END!!!

(6.10)--Ohio Visitor...

Time with Dad F.

So yes, I am WAY behind on my posting. This post is from the beginning o' June. Dad Finnegan drove a motorcycle the whole way from Ohio to Pennsylvania to visit us.

WAHOO...our bikes look good!!

Gearing up to go on a ride...

It was to hard to put on my own helmet.

Alright...safety...CHECK!!


My first bike ride since my surgery...



Driving Dad Finnegan thru town...


Making sure he was still back there...



On the open road...


Deciding where we are going out to eat...

Din-Din at Top's...

Me and Dad F...

Delicious food...

Off to meet Uncle Chucky, Aunt Tam, and Decker...

After supper at Topps, we called Uncle Chucky and Aunt Tammy to see if they wanted to go for a motorcycle ride with us. They did. So we met up with them at the bottom o' the hill and off we went to the overlook.
...The Finnegans...
Please note: My hair is smashed from wearing the helmet!!

Don't let that face fool you, he loves my kisses!! (:

Not sure what I'm doing here...thanks, babe!

Me and My Honey...holding hands...

...The Gang...
Uncle Chucky, Aunt Tam, Dad F, Me, Ace.


We took Dad to Raystown Overlook. Then we asked this sweet couple who was there if they could take a few pictures for us. I only put up two, but they took many many more!! (:

A good close up o' all o' us...

See all those steps, Ace carried me the whole way up them!!


More riding = MORE pictures!!


Due to a li'l potty break, we stopped to stretch our feet. Then Dad asked Chucky if he wanted to try out the bike...o' course who would turn down that offer. So he did...


See me wearing the helmet? Safety First! (:


Doesn't it look like we are going really fast?
The color came out a li'l weird on this one, but I kinda like it.

You thought there wouldn't be a foot picture?

A gorgeous evening for a night ride...


It got dark out pretty quickly...

Can you see the teeny-tiny moon?

On our way home...

A beautiful end to a perfect day...


We went to Woody's BBQ for lunch...

Sunday a.m. Dad F packed up...put his helmet on...

Got on his *ahem* Uncle Dave's bike...

...and he was off to Ohio...


It was so great to have Dad Finnegan come visit us. Little did he know that it would be the last time he'd visit us at our Mifflin Street house. Just wish Ohio wasn't so far away...

THE END!!!
