I turned 28 in October and Matt turned 29 in November

My sister Andrea was home from Wyoming for a month so i made a few trips to lancaster to spend time with her.

one weekend matt played in softball tournament with my dad and brother, they got 2nd place!

Build a bear workshop...the girls loved it!  my camera went dead so i only got one picture there

 We spent Thanksgiving day with my family.  everyone was there, and we had a wonderful time. we did our names exchange with us kids since everyone was around. on friday we went to shady maple for matt's free birthday meal and did a little shopping.  i stayed away from the outlets and mall this year. i had no desire to do what we did last year. on sat. we had a martin family dinner and then we headed to hershey chocolate world and a bears game.  what a game, the bears won 9-0!!.  We got home at 11:30 sat. night.  it was good to be home again!

 One year ago we started adding on to our little house.  I am so thankful that is all behind us and feel so blessed to have a bigger, more comfortable home.  Here's some pictures of the finished product.

   Ocean City with my family.....Lots of fun in the sun and good memories made!

We had so much fun riding this thing around the boardwalk, i loved the little seats for the girls!!

This was Autumn's first time mini-golfing and she loved it. I was surprised at how well she did!  Chloe didn't quite get the concept of hitting the ball into the whole, she would just throw it around!!

 Heres some pictures from the last 2 weeks.  can't believe summer is almost gone, so many good memories and fun times........

trip to ohio over labor day weekend.  the guys didn't do so well this year, lost three of their games by only 1 run.  absolutely heartbreaking!  of course we had a wonderful trip anyway... lots of fun watching games, spending time with family, a trip to the columbus zoo, and cabelos on the way home.

summer fun.....  fishing, rita's, swimming, kittens.......

Matt's 10 year high school reunion.  wow, that seems like a long time ago that we were graduating.  next year will be 10 years for me.  hopefully we have a reunion, i haven't seen some of my classmates for a long time.

 Cabin with my family.  (or at least part of my family)  thank you to the faithful zooks/myers/reiffs who participated in the family trip  and i know the rest of you had very good excuses as to why you were not there.  we had a great time of course!

it all started at knoebels on friday eve.

then it was fun at the cabin.....

Sunday afternoon we headed to RB Winter state park and then headed home

Mid-State Softball team ended up winning first in their division and third in the playoffs.  yes, they were a little dissapointed with the third place finish, but you can't get the big trophies every year.  notice the small third place trophy that matt is holding

Last weekend we were in lancaster and matt was playing in a tournament with my dad and brother.
