Awesome PSU Hockey Night!

I took the boys to see the Men's Hockey team play at Consol Energy Center in the Three Rivers Classic.  Wonderful experience.  The boys were able to go to the railing where the team comes onto the ice and got a ton of high fives.  One of the players gave Matthew a hockey puck, and a manager gave Robert a hockey stick!   They both were thrilled.   Fun game; we won 5-1.  Thanks PSU for a great memory!

MB and Santa at Phipps

Since Matthew didn't have school today, we ventured over to Phipps.  Since Santa came to visit, we stayed so Matthew could sit on his knee.  Santa was so great!  Adorable moment.

Robert's 3rd Grade Christmas Concert

Robert performed in his final Christmas Concert at Fairview today.  So proud of him.  And what an adorable little guy.  Here are some pictures.

Pitt Basketball Camp Week

I was so proud of Robert this morning as he bravely went to basketball camp.  He was a bit nervous about getting on the court, but once he found a ball, he headed to a hoop, and that was it.  Hope he has a great day!  Can't wait to pick him up this evening and hear all about it.

1000 Books Read!

Matthew read his 1000th book and turned his list in to the library.  He is very proud of his accomplishment.  Way to go Reading Man!

Happy Pi Day 3/14/15

Very special math day.  3/14/15
Here is how we celebrated!

Happy 4th Birthday Matthew!

Matthew is celebrating his 4th birthday.  Unfortunately, very cold weather has moved in and school was cancelled so we couldn't celebrate his birthday with his friends.  But he has been able to share his day with his brother and sister.  Annalese has helped with his cake.  Robert is playing with Matthew.  Mostly, Matthew is having a good time playing with flour on a tray with his cars.  Extremely messy, but he is having such a fantastic time.  Thank goodness for vacuum cleaners! 

Happy Birthday Matthew!  We love you!

So What Do You Do When School is Cancelled?

Go out to lunch with Mom.

 

 

 

Go to work with Dad.

Happy Valentine's Day!  Busy day.  Basketball game for Annalese then Robert. The both kids had birthday parties.  Mom, Dad, and Matthew went to look for a new refrigerator.  How exciting is Valentine's Day when you are married with kids!  Overall good day.

2nd Tooth

On Thursday, Robert lost his second front tooth!  When I picked him up from great expectations, he pulled it out of his pocket.  He was so excited!  The tooth fairy came that night and gave Robert $2.00. 

Penn State Weekend

Annalese and Robert went to their first Penn State Basketball game and first Men's Hockey Game this weekend!  This was part of their Christmas present.

First Snowman of 2015

Blistery, cold weather came through this morning leaving roads treacherous to drive so the kids had a 2 hour delay.  They were productive with their extra time at home, making their first snowman of the winter season! 

All three had a blast regardless of the frigid temperatures!  To be a kid again.
