Not much happening...

That's why I haven't been blogging much. Nothing really exciting to report. It's freezing here so we are mostly cooped up inside going stir crazy. We are really slow at work, I mean really slow, like, I hope we don't get layed off, slow. One good thing is I've been able to catch up on my reading. I seriously probably haven't read a book in 3 years, since the girls showed up! So, I've been taking advantage of this down time to read. Here is a list of books I've read in the last two months. I recommend everyone of them, they are all very good...

Where are you now?
Dear John
Dewey
The Lucky One
Phathom Prey
The Choice
Marley and me
Broken Pieces
Queen of the Road
My Sisters Keeper
Against Medical Advice

I just started Tribute by Nora Roberts and after that I am reading Change of Heart. Has anyone read any great books lately? I'd love to add them to my list.

Steeler Parade

Yesterday the city decided to have a parade to celebrate our Super Bowl Champs. I new the parade was going right past my building, so there was no way I was going to miss it. When I got to work my supervisor decided to let whoever wanted to go which was about 6 of us leave for a while, her included. It was really exciting, plus we had a great spot, so I got some really good pictures.


The people looking are part of our group. Jenn, CJ, me and Virginia. Our co-worker took the picture from our office. I didn't know my towel was upside down, what a dork I am!!!

There's fast Willie Parker

Our amazing kicker, Jeff Reed. Love the hair!!!

The MVP from Super Bowl XV, Hines Ward...Love him!!!!

#98, Mr. Casey Hampton

Greg Harrison, the man who intercepted the ball in the 2nd quarter and ran for a 100 yards to score a touchdown. Awesome!! He definintly earned the right to carry the Vince Lombardi Trophy!

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS!!!

HERE WE GO STEELERS!

Here we go........to the Super Bowl!!!

The Dentist Visit

I had taken the girls with me last July for their 1st dentist appointment. They just turned 3 and my dentist suggested bringing them in just to "take a look." Surprisingly they did wonderful, the hygienist was so patient and nice. She took the time explaining all the tools and what the purpose of each tool. She counted their teeth and cleaned them. The dentist said there teeth are coming in great and everything looks good so far. They left with shiny teeth and a new toothbrush. Hopefully it will be this easy again when we go back in July.

Kayla went 1st, brave kid

Good job, Chloe!

Mom's night out!

My new years resolution is to basically try to make more time for myself. Which I really can honestly say I have not done since the girls were born. I always feel guilty if I do something without them, but I realize it's good for them to see me leaving to do something for myself and not just being "mommy".
So I emailed a bunch of mom's and sent up a day for us to go bowling, I know exciting!! There were 5 of us were able to make it. So we went last Monday, again I know on a Monday night, exciting. Hey, baby steps! We had a great time, hanging out, having a few beers and just enjoying the time out.
Hopefully we are going to try and do this at least once a month. Whether it's bowling, dinner and a movie, or going to someones house. It's something, it's a start and it's fun!

Wordful Wednesday - Rock n Roll

When we were in Florida for Thanksgiving my cousins brought out their Rock Band game. I walked in the room and it looked fun! I immediately asked if they have BonJovi and anyone that knows me knows I am an absolute BonJovi freak!!!! Well of course they had "wanted dead or alive", that's perfect! I decided to do that song along with my cousin Jade, Kaylynn and of course my rocker in training, Chloe. This picture is hilarious to me, because granted I did have some wine that night. But I am having a blast rockin out and everyone else in the picture looks bored out of their minds. I don't care, it was fun and I'd do it again and yes I know I'm a big dork!!
Oh and look closely at my little rocker in training doing the rock n roll sign!! Gotta love it!

For more wordful wednesdays visit angie at Seven Clown Circus!

Happy New Year!

I've been out of the loop for a few weeks. The girls have been sick, then I got their sickness so it's been like a 3 week sickfest! I didn't feel like doing much of anything and plus with the holidays time just flew! We are all starting to feel better, finally! I have a ton of pictures to go through so hopefully sometime this week I'll get to post them.

I did want to post this conversation though, I though it was pretty funny.

The other day the girls were wearing their bucket hats .. and I said "oh you look so cute in your bucket hats."

Later on Shawn overheard this:

Kayla to Chloe: Can you put some water in this?
Chloe: It's a hat!
Kayla: It's a bucket hat.

So cute!
