Updates, Updates, Updates...

So I'm finally going to stop being a slacker and do an update. I've finally accrued enough photos to make a justified effort.

Let's see, what to start with...

I went to Pennsylvania. That's pretty exciting and will hopefully catch your interest.

Our flight left at 5:30 am, so we had to leave our house by 3 am... wow were we tired :(















We got there safe and sound with online a little turbulence. I know that Jason's family were pretty excited to see us since we haven't seen some of them since we got married.

However, I think Jason was most excited for...















Dunkin' Donuts... oh how he loves his Dunkin'!















Especially this kind. white powder, white cream.















Jason's a little grumpy in this picture because a) I was taking his picture or b) he wasn't eating his favorite kind of donut because they were all gone. I'm not sure which option is correct, but I'll go with the later.

We had fun. We made dinner one night. Sweet pork tacos. Apple pie (all from scratch). One night we had stuffed pizza. I was told it is not a calzone... but it looked like a huge calzone to me. It was really good pizza though.

One of the highlight was Hershey Park. First of all, CHOCOLATE. Second, Roller coasters. Third, my friend COLETTE.















I have not seen Colette either since my wedding. She lives in Washington D.C. now, so I"m really glad she made the trip up to PA. It was one of the highlights of my trip, that's for sure!

But Hershey...

We waited in lines...





























Here I am thinking you have to have closed-toe shoes to go to amusement parks, but maybe its just Lagoon that has that rule. Jason was able to get on all the rides, no questions... oh well...

We got to check off one of our goals... Jason and I wanted to get our picture taken with the Reese's Cup Character...















Apparently, Jason wanted to attack the Reese's Character because as you can see from my face, I was very surprised when Jason basically squeezed the Reese Guy's head off. He just latched on... Silly Jason!

We also rode the carts for the "educational" tour on how Hershey chocolate is made.















If only I had the right mind to do a video clip, you could enjoy the whirlwind of a tour. It kind of reminded me of the scene from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory where they are on that boat and have no control as to where they are going, and all this sensory overload... That's very much what it reminded me of... plus the little jingle they played on the tour still get gets stuck in my head sometimes.

And in Pennsylvania, I finally got meet some of my nieces I have never seen before (except in pictures).

First is Mallory:


































She's a little cutie.

And second, Gianna:















If Mallory is little petite one, then Gianna is the chubs. She's a really good baby.

I'm really glad I finally got to meet them. They are both all sorts of cuteness!


So overall, good times in PA. We will have to do it again, and hopefully with more family around, too.

Since this is becoming a rather lengthy post, and I don't want to loose anyone's attention. I think we will call it good for now.

Second Wave of Fabric Painting

Looks like its that time again when I post about something I've made, whether it be cooking or crafting.

My sister-in-law had her baby (a little late to announce it, I know) at the end of June. Here are the onesies I sent to the little babe:










































And here is the babe herself:
