Remembering.....

I have not taken any of these pictures. I borrowed them all from Facebook. I just want to be able to have these memories on my blog. Rest in peace Joe Paterno.

That's Amore!

I've found a new favorite restaurant!! And, no, it's not because I know the owner! The food at this place was phenomenal, delicious, awesome, fantastic, extraordinary, outstanding, sensational, marvelous.....shall I go on!??! Get the idea??? The servings were HUGE! Alyssa and I went for lunch this afternoon with Erika and her mom. We all loved it!! It's very casual, BYOB (they do offer you a complimentary glass of wine...it was a bit early for us, we got there just after 11 am, so we passed this time), the staff was very efficient, and, oh, did I mention that the food was GREAT?!?!?!?

It pays to know the chef, this mozzarella salad was compliments of him :) Wanna take a guess what was hidden underneath those slices of fresh mozzarella cheese (besides a slice of tomato)??? Would you believe there was a slice of ORANGE under there?!!? It was delightful!

This was my dish....Pasta al Forno. Yummy! I brought better than half home with me....

Compliments of the chef, mini cannoli's :)

This was posed just in case you couldn't figure that out :)

Success!!

Thank You.

Holy Feathers!

Don't think you'd ever miss one.....

Wedding Day

Brian & Cortney got married in December. Everyone's friends from DiscipleMakers...

our nephew Matt is on Staff with DM :)

Sarah & Alyssa with the happy couple! Cortney & Brian asked them to be greeters :)

BFF's :)

Alyssa & Lydia

Adam dancin' with his favorite litte girl :)

The ironic thing is this is something Matt would have done with my kids...and now my kids are big enough to do it with his kids :)

Our beautiful children :):):)

Christmas 2011 Pics

How cool is that?!?!?! Penn State wrapping paper!! (It came in the mail along with a request for a donation to PSU. We've been donating to Penn State for the last 6 years, but in a different way...it's called TUITION!!!!!)

My new Bible from Alyssa! It's blue and has my name engraved on it :)

What more could one want?!?!

OK, so Adam wrapped my gift in layers and layers of store circulars ;)

Once I got through all those layers, this was inside!

I love me my Nittany Lions!!

Kids went to JCPenney's and did pictures for me for Christmas :)

I don't know, this was from Adam and has something to do with Adam always breaking Kurt's drill bits....or something like that....

What more could he want!?!? A Nittany Lion pillow pet :)

And one for Alyssa, too!!

She's pretty sure she knows what's in here! Has way too many Apple products....she recognized the FONT on the packaging slip on the front of the box!

Could it be?!?!?!

OMG!!! IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's an iPad!!!!!! I was so right :):)

This kinda' works well as a cell phone for me :)

No car calendar?!?!?! What's this all about???

Moving into the age of technology....a KINDLE!!

This was to go along with the Blu-Ray player that has wireless internet capabilities (I can farm on TV...LOL!!). Only problem is that once he and Adam had everything all set up, there's FIVE different remote controls needed!! I'm not sure I'll ever be able to watch television again!!
