my first successful sewing project!

dream come true for $15

Yes I finally got to go to an eagles game in philadelphia! We found cheap tickets since it was a preseason game but it was still every bit as amazing as a regular season! Plus we paid $30 for the both of us instead of $150.


Rocky + the eagles = awesome


This is where the cheap seats kick in . . .

And when everyone leaves because of the rain what do you get to do?
SIT IN THE 5TH ROW!!!!!!!

Yep, that's Michael Vick there in the visor chattin it up with a teammate

And Andy Reid

AMAZING! Such a fun night, maybe we'll get to do the same next preseason!

summer fun

This week has been a great one! Daniel flew by himself for the first time, I sold 5 paintings, started learning how to sew, and we got to go horseback riding!

Here we are after the ride with our horses, Sorento and Poncho.

Sorento kept turning to make sure we got a picture of his good side

These two massive dogs were cuddling in the stable's office

Thanks mom for my early Christmas present!!! (I was so worried about breaking it. Which I did in the first 5 minutes. Twice. But I fixed it twice too!)

Daniel's walk to work

We went over near the airport and spent some time watching the planes land.

And here's my hubby flying! I'm so proud of him!

day 5 vacation

we spent friday in philadelphia. daniel and i took mom and pop to a few of our favorite places around the city and then went to the phillies game. unfortunately they lost, but we still had a great time and got to see lots of old wall of fame players like mike schmidt, darren daulton, and john kruk. we're glad we could show our parents a little bit of our city!

cheesesteaks at pat's


if you come to visit us, we will not let you get away without a visit here

the most delicious homemade ice cream

our "soda jerk" dipping out the ice cream

syrups . . . seriously everything about this place is too cute





i cannot bring myself to order anything but the mt. vesuvius because it is so delicious.

i get really sad the times i can't finish the whole thing. luckily not this time.

daniel's rootbeer float


luckily the ice cream dripped off her spoon back into the bowl

we took a walk over to elfreth's alley, the oldest residential street in the nation. daniel and i had only been at night before when it was pitch black - much cuter in the daytime.







can i live somewhere where foliage like this grows over my door please?


then we headed over to reading terminal market. they had a pennsylvania dutch festival where they were selling genuine amish crafts like these oven mitts!

but seriously we love the market. pretty sure you could spend months here and still wouldn't be able to eat everything.

we bought a few huge dills to sneak into the game later.

amish donuts . . . mmmm

i wouldn't mind wearing dentures if they were made of chocolate like these

"mike tyson special - ears that are ok to bite"

flowers

i'm glad he's green again
