A ride on The Polar Express (11/26/2011)

Like a dream come true... we got to take a ride on the POLAR EXPRESS tonight that left from the train station in Phillipsburg, NJ.






It was tons of fun! All of us (big & small) dressed in our PJs and boarded the Christmas-adorned train. We enjoyed a train ride filled with holiday cheer! They told the story of the Polar Express, Santa came around to visit, we had hot cocoa & cookies, everyone sang, etc. -- it was such a nice time!





Thank you, Memom, for this great & memorable experience! We all love you!

Happy Thanksgiving 2011!

We had a great Thanksgiving!

We started off the morning over at my Alma Mater -- Hamilton West -- to watch the annual Thanksgiving Day game! Wow-- this brought back a LOT of great memories for me.... this annual game, my cheerleading days, the school spirit, being that "young", etc -- it was great! The best, though, was being able to share this experience with my kids-- and my younger cousin (Nicole). One day -- sooner than I know -- I will be here watching & supporting my kids as they do their thing in high school... amazing!

Anyway-- we watched some of the game and then roamed the halls of the school a bit-- checking out how things still are and seeing how a few things have changed... and sharing memories of my days there with the kids. That was cool! I loved high school... they were great years for me.

We had dinner at our house this year and it went well. I love having the family together. My cousin, Nicole, joined us, which was an added bonus this year. The kids loved hanging out with her, especially. That's what it's all about... FAMILY!


Hope that all of you had a great Thanksgiving and have a LOT to be thankful for this day and everyday! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Halloween Looney Tunes! (10/23/2011)

Before it closes for the Season, we made 1 last trip to Great Adventure and visitied with the Looney Tunes characters during Fright Fest! The kids got to trick-or-treat and meet & greet with some of the Looney Tunes characters-- they had a ball! :)

Jayla meets her cousins! (10/5/2011)

They have been waiting patiently days and finally, my kids got to meet their new cousin, Jayla! I loved watching them with her... the joy that overwhelmed them just being able to hold her... so precious, so gentle. Jayla is the 1st baby my kids, especially the triplets, have really experienced.






OMG- I love this pic... Anthony holding his baby cousin's hand... so precious! Yet again, ANthony continues to be the only boy... the only brother, the only male cousin! He has a big job ahead of him in life... lots of girls to watch after and protect. He's such a good boy!

Jayla, you have a lot of little one to love you, too and they all can't wait for you to continue to grow & have fun with them! We all love you! xo

Fright Fest 2011 (10/2/2011)

As the Six Flags season winds down and Halloween approaches, we checked out Great Adventure's Fright Fest today. It was a beautiful Fall day and the kids had a spook-tacular time!

So much for cheering! (9/11/2011)

While AQnthony is out playing hard on the field, the girls (his sisters & cousins) should be cheering him on!

Instead, they are sitting on the sidelines painting each other's nails! NICE!


GO ANTHONY! :)

Angelia's 7th Birthday! (8/31/2011)

Yay-- today was Angelia's 7th birthday and it was a fun-filled day! Angelia, the triplets, Courtney, Memom, and I spent this sunny (birth-) day at HURRICANE HARBOR and had a blast! Lots of sun, fun, splashes, and smiles. :)











After our day at HURRICANE HARBOR, we came home to celebrate with the family!!




Angelia... 7 years old already!?! I can't believe it, Baby Girl! You are becoming such a big girl and Mommy is SO proud of you. I hope you have had a great 7th birthday!
