Blake turns 10!!!!!!!
My little boy turned 10 on Sept 11th!!! I just cant believe the great son that I have!! He is just a blessing to us. Blake’s actual birthday was an extremely BUSY day to say the least ( first day of co-op, his birthday party, soccer game, Lads to Leaders scrapbooking….which we missed because we were wiped out!!
Below is Chloe giving Blake some loving …which in front of his friends, he didnt respond well.:)

So a bunch of us take advantage of the discount and head that way every year. This is our 4th year to go!! We all take crockpots of food and set up in a pavillion, so we eat for free all day!!!

Pool Fun at the Bairen’s
Our great friends the Bairen’s got an awesome new pool this summer!! We were dieing to go over and visit, but I couldnt just up and invite ourselves. My friend Tammie and her husband kept posting the progress they were making on the pool and how great it felt and whoever wanted could come on over!!!
Well I kept biding my time…and sure enough, she called andinvited us!! I almost forgot to take some pics but I threw my underwater camera to the kids and they took care of it for me.:)
Paul loved it!!! And would like to move there he said!!
Nathan Bairen!!
Paige Bairen!!
Jacob and Blake….as you can see…my kids had the camera most of the time!!
Trip to Pittsburgh Zoo
Last Saturday we headed to the zoo with several friends from church!! It was a lot of fun..but very HOT!! We are all a little spoiled with having such a great summer that when it got to the 90’s for one week we all were ready for Fall.
Below is a picture of the shark tunnel…it is new at the zoo this year. It is really neat!! Our new family picture was taken in the same spot.
Below is one of the few pictures I have of Chloe at the zoo. She stayed a bit ahead of us with some of her friends. That is a monkey peaking over the tree at us.
We got to see the lions at an awesome time. But this lion was growling at the crowd. It went for several minutes….very neat.

Below is a place to measure how tall you to an elephant or a giraffe. Or Ben Roethlisberger …of course…only in Pittsburgh..LOL!!

I think the polar bears were the best thing to see at the zoo!! They kept swimming around and we could watch them!!! They are soo cute…behind glass walls of course!!

Kiddy Kingdom…here Paul comes!!
If You Give A Mouse A Cookie…
Today we start we start school, soccer, Kenny has outpatient surgery and the Frankferd co-op order comes in. So this is a very busy day. I would like add that Kenny was added as a deacon at our congregation yesterday morning. I am so proud of him!
Last week we went to this cute play, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie…at Little Lake Theatre. The kids have always loved this book.
These were the 2 stars. The kids loved it and after it they all felt like they met ‘movie stars’!!
Little Lake Theatre is a dinner theatre, although this play was only an hour so dinner was served. You can see my 4 kids at the first table but our group was about 25 and extended as far as you can see in the picture.:)
Stay tuned for the Pinkalicious Tea Party we are attending at Little Lake Theatre in October. The girls are ecstatic! Thanks to my great friend Tracy who does all the planning for our outings.
Olgebay Good Zoo
Well I have been going field trip crazy here!! But we are having so much fun!:)We decided to purchase a zoo pass this year. Thursday we headed to the Olgebay Good Zoo, it is a very nice little zoo and only about 20 minutes from our house
They have a little animal hospital that the kids loved doctoring up there animals there.:)
They had this bird aviar that was really awesome..the birds were landing all over us!!
Paul and Camye were so nervous to let a bird land on them but they did it!!! IT was really cool!:)
Blake was a little nervous as well but did great:) Thanks to my friend Sandra that was helping them with the birds.
The zoo had just got in a 18 foot python….very…big..:)
It was great fun and counts as school. We did find out that starting in 7th grade they have a volunteer program. Chloe is VERY interested in this, so we will see if she decides to do this.:)
Fun at the Park..:)
The entire Rogers Family are officially Roller Coaster riders!!! I didnt think it was going to happen. But Paul and Camye surprised us all by wanting to ride the roller coasters and were actually sad they werent tall enough for some!!
We all went to Kennywood earlier this month with new friends that just moved here from Florida and another family from our church. Our families mesh very easily!! We all had such an awesome time!
Paul and Camye on the elephants!!
I kow I can not believe I put this picture of myself on here. But I thought it was too hilarious to pass up!! Thank goodness for that water proof camera. Kenny took it on all the water rides and this is once when my friend Sandra and I were hit by a waterfall!! Yes we look like we are enjoying ourselves a tad…ya think???
Camye and her new friend Emelia!!
Paul right after the waterfall…He is just the most adorable baby!!!
Blake on Raging Rapids….he had a great time with his friend Jacob, who totally encouraged him to ride his first roller coaster as well!!
For some reason..Camye thought it was HILARIOUS that me and Miss Sandra were getting drenched.
Soaking wet and still beautiful!! We invited another family from church too so that Chloe would have someone to ride with…I didnt get any good shots of them together. But that is Chloes friend Kianna right behind her..:):)
Paul riding his “Bengal Tiger”…Paul has loved Bengals..as he refers to them since he was barely a year old.
Paul and his little friend Elaina…are just hilarious together!!! I mean hilarious. They walked in our church the other day and were waving hysterically at one another…unfortunatley we were in the fourth pew from the front!!! They do play great together!!
