Summer Extravaganza: The final chapter

On our last day in Pittsburgh we went to a Pirates game. We were early for the game so we walked around by the Allegheny river. It was so cool to see.

Heinz Field is where the Steelers play. It was so cool to see!

 

 

Here's my brother with the girls.

There was this fountain and I decided to be a nice mom and let them play in it.

I love this shot that my brother took.

Isn't the skyline so awesome?!

Whitney discovered Uncle Tim and Carol's peanuts so we didn't see her for a lot of the game. :-)

I guess Rosebud wanted to save some for later, little cutie.

Our last stop before heading back to California was Brooklyn's baby blessing. The timing worked out perfectly and I'm so glad we could see it.

All the nieces. I'm just realizing that I really need to take more pictures of the nephews!

We were able to do so much on our trip and we had so much fun the whole time. It was so great to see family for so long. I was so grateful to go back to Pennsylvania and especially glad to welcome a new sister-in-law to the family. That wraps up our vacation. I will start posting more recent events and I promise not so many pictures! :-)

Summer Extravaganza: PA Part 2

Finally I'm wrapping up our trip! We went to the Sports Museum at Beaver Stadium.

With the Olympics happening, Whitney was excited about all things gymnastics

She very happily pointed out Uncle Matt in the wrestling picture.

A very sporty lion :-)

Dad with the heisman

It tugged at my heart strings to see anything JoePa. This display had his glasses, pants and shoes. It makes me so sad I never got to see him coach a game.

We got a surprise ride up to the stadium. It was so awesome to see!

One of the best thing about PA is the food.

Here's Dad reminiscing at the baseball field he played at growing up. I loved hearing him tell stories as we drove through his hometown.
We stopped for one last food outing with the fam before everyone started to head out.

The last thing to cross off my list was to take pictures at the lion shrine.

She's a little stinker

We stopped at Rec Hall where the wrestling meets are. I'm already so excited so for wrestling season which starts November 1st!

It was neat to see the wrestling banners. Hopefully more will be added soon!

Then, my sister's family joined us for more pictures.

We even got my dad to join in on a few!

Pretty soon I'll be able to update about current life :-)

Summer Extravaganza: The Wedding!!!

So finally the day came that was the main reason we were even having the summer extravaganza. My brother, Matt's wedding! All week the forecast said it would rain, but the big day came and the afternoon weather was gorgeous. The ceremony was beautiful and so was the bride!

Waiting for his bride.

So pretty!

My dad gave some beautiful words at the ceremony.

Here's the little cuties, except Brooklyn who was sleeping.

The "triplets" who love playing and were so happy to be together.

The moms and daughters (except Brooklyn again)

My sistas.

Our little fam

Sisters with our awesome cousin Kristine, basically just another sister.

My awesome aunts Patti and Kathy, it was so great seeing them!

The WHOLE fam

My dad and his brothers Mike and Tim. It's so much fun to watch them together

The newlywed's first dance.

Whitney couldn't take her eyes off them dancing. She loved it so much.

Thanks to Melissa who saved the day and made Lindsey's dress fit like a glove!

It was such a great day. I'm so excited and grateful for my new sister in law. Congrats on this new chapter in their lives!
