Happy 4th birthday to the peanuts!

I had this scheduled to post on the girls birthday, yesterday, but it didn't for some reason.

Anyway, happy birthday to my beautiful little girls. I love you!

Pierced ears

So the girls have been asking to get their ears pierced for a few months off and on. I would kind of ignore the subject because I planned on doing it when they were between 8-10 years old. They brought it up again on June 20th and for some reason we ended up at the mall that day to get their ears pierced.

Kayla sat in the chair first. The girl let them each pick out their earrings. Kayla picked red for her birthstone and Chloe picked blue. I asked the girl if she had a co-worker that could help. That way they could pierce both ears at the same time. She said they could do that.
Kayla was such a big girl, she sat still and she didn't even cry. Even though she totally looked like she wanted too. Actually, I cried, but I didn't let her see me!!!




For some reason I can't get Chloe's video off Shawn's phone. She did cry only for a minute. I felt really bad. Afterwards they were happy, I was happy and they did look really cute.
They give me a hard time everytime I have to clean them, which is a pain since I'm suppossed to do it 4 times a day. I'm lucky if we do it 3 times. But they look really good, not infected for anything. I only have 30 more days to clean them!!! UGH!

Congratulations to the City of Champs.

First the Pittsburgh Steelers win the Superbowl. Now the Pittsburgh Penguins come through with a victory against the dreaded Detroit Red Wings to win the Stanley Cup. Last year we came so close to winning but fell short against the same team. We history was repeating itself the Penguins knew they had to change the outcome. In the game 7 with the series tied 3-3 the Pens had to win a battle in a building where it never seems like the puck goes their way. But they persevered, dominated and came out on top to become the Stanley Cup Champions. Sidney Crosby the youngest captain at age 21 brought his team to victory. The city of Pittsburgh is excited to have two champions teams in the same year. The Pens truly deserve this win and congratulations for an excellent hockey season!!!!

Hershey Park

Last week we took a little vacation to Hershey Pa. We visited Hershey Park, Chocolate World, and also went to Lancaster to Dutch Wonderland and Amish Country.

Let me just say Hershey Park is amazing. The girls were able to ride so much and the rides are scattered all over the park. So you're not just stuck in "kiddie land". They were "Reese's" so they were able to ride alot of bigger rides. Like the Falcon Flyer, The Comet roller coaster, The Whip, The Howler and many others. They absolutely love rides that spin in circles. Me on the other hand, I like to hold the purses.

If you go to Hershey Park, a visit to Chocolate World is a must, just the smell of chocolate when you walk in is worth it!!!

It was a great time of year to go because it wasn't crowded at all. It was a little chilly and looked like it was going to rain, but the rain held off.
The girls on the Frog Hopper, they probably rode this at least 5 times!!!

We went on a horse and wagon ride through a little off the Amish Country in Lancaster. The girls really enjoyed that and the views were beautiful.

Our horses Mike and Ike....good boys!!!!

I definitely want to try and go back there again next year! It was great and not a far drive from Pittsburgh.

Dance recital

Last year when we started dance the girls absolutely hated it. They wanted nothing at all to do with it. So we waited until January and signed them up at a different school. There were only 6 girls in the class which was great. The girls ended up loving it! They never complained about going and they seemed to enjoy it when they were there.

Their dance recital was on June 6th and June 7th. All the girls came out and danced. They may have changed it everytime, but at least everyone came out and did something. It was really cute.

Last day of school...

The girls last day of preschool was May 19th. It was a long year, but it did go fast. It started out difficult for them leaving me or my mom. But after a while they realized it was fun. They learned alot and made lots of new friends. 1st day of preschool!

Last day of preschool, they look so grown up!

Sunny days..

We were able to set the pool up a couple of weeks ago. It was really hot and sunny. The girls had a great time be out in the warm sun. Eating popsicles and just being kids!

Popsicle faces!

Chloe watering her strawberry plant!

I'm hoping for alot more sunny days!
