My Steelers

I hope you all had a chance to watch last nights game. It makes me almost cry.....almost. I am seriously so excited for another super bowl trip(well not a trip for me, but a trip for the Steelers to the Super Bowl) Can I just say I love these 2 guys in the above and below pictures? I never would have thought I would be such a devoted fan to a pro football team, but here I am. I guess maybe it had something to do with haveing 5 brothers. I truly don't think you can live in this city without catching the Steelers fever-no joke. btw thats Troy Polamalu above and Ben (my secret boyfriend) Roethlisberger below

This is Ben's secret way of telling me what time we're suppose to meet tonight.

This is what the South Side right by Trent's work looked like after the win-there we are to the left

Yeah right y'ins know we weren't there-this is what OUR party looked like (after I cleaned up all the awesome party food we had of course.

This is the extreme weather we enjoy here in this great winning city. Look closely at Trent's beard, notice the icicles? I went to the library yesterday morning-early-and my car said it was -10. I've never seen such low numbers before, and I hope I never see them again-(that's not taking into account the windchill which I was told was between -25 and -30) My family would say I have seen these numbers before in my previous life in Minnesota-but I choose to forget that life most days-that life was much too cold and misquotoey.

Poor Tucker, the snow is so deep he can't walk through it without getting buried. We have over 31/2 feet in our yard.

Sesame Street Live---"Elmo Grows Up"

So Trent had a couple weeks off for Christmas and we threw around a bunch of ideas of things we wanted and hoped to do. These were some of our ideas--going to some Caribbean beach (leaving the girls home)--going to Ogley Bay, West Virginia(maybe taking the girls)--going anywhere warm......but instead we decided on this alternate alternative SESAME STREET LIVE!!!!! We are the awesomest parents I swear. No it really was a lot of fun to see how happy it made the girls. Even Sophie quite enjoyed herself. She danced on my lap most of the night. And who am I kidding we weren't leaving this godforsaken icecap that is comingly known as Pittsburgh during winter.

I think this is a cute picture of all three girls watching the show and seeming to enjoy it.

Cute little chubba chunk

Picture taken during intermission-(an alternate picture is one where Maddie is throwing an insane tantrum because she wants one of the $18.00 Elmo baloons they just happen to bring out at intermission right after the Elmo World song.)

This is Liv doing the Amigo dance with all of Sesame Street. She really did enjoy herself.

Here they are the Amigo dancers-remember this song Jud? (Trent wanted me to throw this in-Amigo, Amigo Amigo out and play)

Very, very late overdue Christmas Blog

Christmas morning-girls coming down the stairs. You may ask why are they holding barbie dolls when they're about to open a ton of new presents? Maybe because around 5 am they snuck down and already looked at all their presents and saw a barbie doll house set up. I thought they were too young to be pulling junk like this.

The blessed Barbie house

Very excitedly opening their stockings-isn't new underwear the best!

Trent with his new presents-his mom finally decided to encourage his xbox gaming-in the past she'd been discouraging it-claiming it's for children (which it is)

If you noticed-Sophie was absent from all the other pictures with the new toys, this is because she is obsessed with soft cuddly things. (As you can see in this picture) She has gathered all the soft things opened, and is cuddling with them. She did get the blanket from Santa-how did he know?

The girls with their barbie jeep from Santa. It was definitely a barbie Christmas.

As you can see, we did not have a white Christmas. The load came a month too late-

The significance of this picture?-none, just wanted to show that Olivia's hair does get done curly some times-after dangerous fights with her.
