Beyblade "Let it Rip" 7th Birthday Party for Drew

Drew is "7" My big boy is 7 now!!! Drew's cousins came all the way in from Iowa and he had a few of his friends from school come over for his party. We celebrated with a Beyblade "Let it Rip" Birthday Party. Beyblade is on cartoon network and Drew has had fun watching their cartoons. He is getting to be a big boy now! He does still watch the Disney Channel but we have to keep up with the kids at school. We got him the Beyblade battlefield and the beyblades to spin and win. The kids played a couple of tournaments and then we ate PIZZA. Jeremy and I are all into making our own pizzas. So, we made 3 homemade pizzas for us all to eat. Afterwards we celebrated with cake and ice cream. What a fun day!!

Disney Princess Half Marathon

My college friends and I decided to do the Princess Half Marathon and make a girl weekend out of it! I had a hard time leaving the kids to go to Disney but it sure was worth it! I had such a great time catching up with my good ol' college friends. It has been a while since we have seen each other. I use to workout with these girls back at school and here we are again. Ofcourse their athletic bodies are still there. Trisha was a UK swimmer and Steph was a UK diver. Stephanie had a 5th metatarsal fracture happened 2 weeks before the race. Nothing was going to stop this girl! She ended up doing the race on a Crankcycle that she borrowed from one of her patients. Steph is a Physical Therapist and works with patients with disabilities. It's amazing!!! She did a great job during the race and won the wheelchair competition. Go Steph!!! We are planning our next race for 2012 and maybe hitting Napa Valley and running thru the wine country. I can't wait!!!

Colorado

Oh how it is my dream to go to Colorado one of these days! Jeremy had overnights every weekend the month of January in Denver, CO. I tried to fly on one of his flights but they switched him last minute to another flight. So, needless to say, I didn't get to go. :( We thought to take the whole family out there another weekend but it just didn't end up working out. One of these days, I will go with him on a weekend to the place I have always wanted to go! I can't wait to visit Colorado!!!

Christmas In New York

We traveled to New York City on Jeremy's birthday. We left the kids behind for a fun filled overnight in New York. We met up with Jeremy's college friends Chet and his fiance' Erica. We saw the famous Chrismtas Tree, went ice skating, toured Empire State Building, walked the streets of Manhatten. Wow, Christmas in New York is amazing. We had a great time and Happy Birthday Honey!!!!

Happy Halloween~Boo!!

Boo Zoo

We finally made it to Boo Zoo. The kids had so much fun going around the Zoo in their costumes. It was a nice fall day but rained on and off. For the most part, it stayed nice. We are members now, so we have lots of Zoo to come in the future!

Pumpkin Patch

We did our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch again this year. We always have fun going to Stoney Creek Farm and doing all the activities out there they have to offer. The kids always have fun on the pumpkin train, haunted house, mazes, and hay to play in. I think my favorite part is taking the hayride out to the patch patch and picking out our favorite pumpkin. It was a nice hot fall day and of course I got lots of pictures!
