Last Pirates Home Game of the Season

We went to the Pirates game with Boppy, JuJu, and Monica. The Pirates won. The kids took a little nap before the fireworks started. J.R. loooooooooooooooved the fireworks. What a fun night.

Saturday Morning Cartoons

We love Saturday mornings. Now that J.R. is a little older and Markie will actually look at a television, Saturday mornings are what I remember growing up...pajamas too late in the morning, bed head, and cartoons. I just loved this picture. Both kids lay on their bellies and watch cartoons together. It is so cute.

Fall Soccer 2008

Well, not much has changed since camp. J.R. is NOT in to it...that is actually too light. He can not stand it. The first game was the best. He at least tried. It was down hill from there. Our only rule -he has to finish the season. We are pretty confident that he won't opt to play again next year. Oh well, off to Kung Fu in November.

Labor Day on the River

Labor Day weekend (a month late) was great. We started the weekend with the Hayes Family Draft - Year 6! The whole family got together at Pete and Carrie's for food, swimming, and of course the draft. The Bridget curse still holds true... if I draft you in the first round, you are destined to sustain a major injury---Tom Brady. On Monday, we spent the day on the river with NanNan and John. Here are some pictures of our fun...check out Jim - fractured elbow and all, he is trying to swing from a tree into the river. This is much better on video.

THANK HEAVEN - FOOTBALL SEASON IS BACK

Well, I think it is safe to say that all who knows us agree that our fall revolves around football... Steelers, Penn State, and WVU. Jimmy and J.R. started the first day of college football as twinkies in PSU attire. Before the game, J.R. accompanied Jimmy to an eye appointment where in true "J.R. Fashion" he talked the doctor into a free eye exam. He will tell you that his eyes are great as he reenacts the exam. Look at that picture - can anyone say wicked cute?????????????????

Our Weekend with Boppy and JuJu

Boppy and JuJu came to Cranberry for a visit the weekend before Labor Day, Aug 22 - 24. We went to the community park...and guess what! Even Boppies and JuJus like to play at the park! J.R. ran around like a mad man. Markie hung from the swing for what seemed like forever. She shook her head no everytime we tried to take her off the swing! Probably one of those "had to be there" moments, but she was a funny bunny. After the park we headed to dinner at a Pittsburgh fave - Primanti Brothers. What a wonderful weekend - beautiful weather, no action items, and people we LOVE!!!!
