The Croyle's: December 2009

I have heard from many of you that you are sick of seeing air assault grad! SO I am finally getting around to updating. As you all know we took a family vacation to Flordia and it was great although it was very HOT! Maddie loved being able to ride most of the rides and we had to ride certain ones over and over again! So the first few pics are from that trip. After that trip Maddo and I went up to see Nan, Pup, and Elle at Mahaffey Family Camp and Maddie took a spill out of her stroller. We spent the night with Elle in Uncle Frank's trailer and Maddo did not enjoy it very much, she woke up screaming about every hour! Poor Uncle Frank, we really appreciated his generosity in letting us stay! In August Scott and I went to the Rascal Flatt and Darius Rucker concert and it was AWESOME! We went just as a couple this year instead of with friends and had a blast, it was one of the best concerts we have gone to!! I uploaded a video at the end of this post as well of our favorite Darius Rucker song! Then Steeler preseason started and Scott was away at Air Assault school, so Jen and I found some reasonable tickets and decided to go! We had a great time! We had so much fun that when Scott came home Scott, me, Jen and her friend Sherry all went to the last preseason home game and had awesome seats, 16 rows from the field!! Then we headed to DC in October for Scott to run in the Army 10 Miler! Maddo and I went for the weekend trip to get away and it was a great family experience although we hitsome rough patches on the drive down, it was a great weekend once we were out of the car! When we came home Maddo was in the Kittanning Haloween parade, we dressed her as a bumble bee and her stroller was a flower pot and Dolores went as a bee hive, Maddo won again, taking home a 10 dollar prize! I participated in a scavanger hunt for the American Cancer Society with women from our pool league. They put me in charge of our clip board for the actual hunt, and my competitive nature came out! We won by a landslide and would have won for costumes too, but they didn't want one team to win everything! It was so much fun, I am looking forward to doing it again next year! Maddo offically loves Cashman and Company beauty shop, they spoil her there! Let her sit in oneof the chairs, run around the shop and give her lollipops! The other pictures are of Scott and Maddo in their usual spot sitting together with one of Maddo's books! It melts my heart to watch them together! The last picture is from today of Maddo posing with her lip gloss in hand, in between her boys for our christmas card! They all were so good! Hope this holds you all over for awhile! I have since went back to work starting in August working at a standardbred racing farm. I am enjoying it, but have an interview for another job on Monday, hopefully it works out and I can be indoors working instead of outdoors for the winter!!
