Happy Birthday to Zachary!

We Celebrated Zachary's 4th Birthday with an "ALL THINGS DINOSAUR" Party! Lots of friends and family came to help celebrate and a good time was had by all (we hope). We can't believe our first born is 4 already! Crazy how time flies!! Happy Birthday Z-man!
We love you!!!!
Zachary and "Dino-Mommy" (that is what he called me the whole day!)
Me & Delight

Carl & Ray got Zachary a new piece for his Thomas Railway...he loved it (and the dino hat that grandmommy gave him)

Every little Steelers fan needs a Superbowl Champ Hoodie! Thanks Tia (Delight) & Jason!!!

Madeline diggin' in on some yummy cake!

Zach did a great job blowing out his candles!

Once again the Wildewood Pastry shop did not disappoint! This cake not only looked amazing, but tasted fabulous as well!!!

The weather has been so nice here and we had a great week playing outside and getting ready for Zachary's birthday party tomorrow!! Here are a few shots from the Valentine's Day party at Z's school and some outside fun at the park with our friends.
They even had cookies for the younger siblings!!

Happy Birthday, Papa!!


We are wishing huge birthday wishes today for my Grandfather (affectionately called Papa by my kids). He turned 87 today and I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life. Happy Birthday to you, Granddad/Papa! We love you so very much!!!

(Granddad just sent me this picture of him holding the edible arrangement and balloon that we sent to him today...we wish we were in Florida with him to help him snack on it..it looks yummy!!!)

Ski weekend & Superbowl Victory!

We spent the past weekend at Seven Springs with the Engel clan. Skiing, eating, drinking, being sore and anticipating about Superbowl Sunday...all in all, it was a good good time!


All ready for the game and Madeline doing her best model pose
"so Daddy, that is where you fell down?" Zachary refused to believe that people were actually participating in the sport of skiing...afterall, all they do is fall down, right?

A view of the slopes...the weather was really nice...well, if you think 21 degrees is nice ;)






Here we go Steelers!!!
