A Fitting Farewell for Grandpap Haney

Roger's Grandfather, Bernard Patrick Haney, passed away on December 14, 2010, after suffering a stroke back in July. We created a tribute video to give to the family at the viewing. It was a beautiful memorial service and mass. I have uploaded the video below. We will never forget you, Grandpap. Thanks for all the memories...and the good times!

 

Santa Visit 2010

This year's Santa trip was not one of Caitlin's favorite. Jake was pretty calm, but Caitlin on the other hand, was how shall we say...terrified!? :) Enjoy the photos!

Waiting in line...calm for now!

Jake was so excited, he spit up on Daddy!

Long Weekend Fun

We took a nice long walk through our neighborhood, played outside in the gorgeous 75 degree weather. And we topped it all off with a Steeler and Bronco game on Sunday afternoon. Steeler game was a nail biter...and Bronco game...well, those pictures are better not suited for online...too sad to post! :( ha ha! Oh well, Broncos...better luck next year!

On the move...

Mommy...don't break our concentration...the Steelers are having a rough game.

A real nailbiter...both chomping on the terrible towels!

Thanksgiving

We had a lovely, long, Thanksgiving weekend. We are so blessed and thankful for all that we have and our family that surrounds us. I have added some pictures from our fun weekend together, below.

Thankful

As we enter the week of Thanksgiving, I choose to blog about what I am thankful for. I am thankful for so many things....first and foremost to the United States Military who fight to protect us and keep us free....you are the reason we stand in this great nation, free to live, vote, speak and believe in what we choose to believe in. I am also so very thankful for my amazing family. From coast to coast, I have amazing family and amazing friends whom I choose to call family. If not for many of them, I would not be the woman I am today...especially my husband and my two little ones...they are my strength and my world. So, on this Thanksgiving, let's all reflect how thankful we are to God for giving us the blessings that I count every night.

The photos below are from the amazing, Carmen Doherty of Carmen Doherty Photography. She is also one of my many blessings I thank God for every night. She has become one of my dearest friends, and I am very grateful for her!

Happy Halloween!

This year, the kids went as Smurfette and Baby Smurf! Lots of fun carving pumpkins and trick or treating this year! Happy Halloween to all! XOXO!

Sweetfields Farm

We had a wonderful time at Sweetfields Farm in Masaryktown, FL (about 30 minutes north of our house). It was such a lovely day with Grandma & Grandpa Sivula and the four of us. Needless to say, we are all tired and the kids took a long nap afterward!
