Negley Anne getting her workout on

I sent this picture to my sister to think her for all the wonderful hand me downs that she has given to Negley Anne... I don't know what I would do without them! Out of many pictures though, this was the only one that I could get her shoes in. She's either pooping or doing squats... you make the call. My little girl does have some pretty beasty quads.

 

Last Weekend

This past weekend we had an old friend from Michigan, Steve Carter, come in to speak at Laurelville. After the weekend we were lucky enough to get tickets to the Steelers game and ended up seeing a big win, as well as seeing Anthony get his first action at cornerback. Throughout the game we were luck enough to be graced with the presence of one of his friends who was in town too. Lajan has more energy than anyone else I can think of, and it was a blast cheering with her.

Everyone

Reunion

After the gameSteve Carter got to see his old friend Scott Fujita who plays for the saints. (He is their leading tackler so far this year)

Last Weenend

Fall in the 'Burgh

There's not a whole lot to say in the Samuels household these days. We are back from traveling, and although there are still a few more Laurelville weekends to go, things seem to be back to normal. That is of course except for the weather here in Pittsburgh. A few days ago it hit 60 degrees and that means lots of fun outside for both the dogs and Negley Anne. Jayson had fun blowing the leaves into a big pile and throwing our little girl in them. She had fun too...

 

Can you say Party?

Last weekend Jayson, Negley Anne and I had the great fun of flying down to Florida for a sort of Family Reunion. It was my Aunt Carol's birthday and my Uncle Bill had arranged for a large gathering of the Rosemeyers and good friends down at Disney. Never to pass up an amusement park, the Pittsburgh Rosemeyers made their way down. Here is Negley Anne on the ride down.

The birthday girl... Aunt Carol!

The man that planned it all... Uncle Bill! Thanks for all the hard work - it was worth it!

 

Fun in the sun

These are some more pictures from our time in Florida, but they are not necessarily in order. This first one is of the Florida version of the Rosemeyer family (all of them still have the last name). From left to right is : Jason and Abby holding Toby, Uncle Bill (doesn't everyone have an Uncle Bill?), Billy and his wife Michelle, and Aunt Carol (the birthday girl) down in front. What a blast it was to see all of them!

The extended picture of all the Rosemeyers... wow.

This is the picture that isn't quite in order... the morning after the big party (as if we hadn't eaten enough) we decided to go to Waffle House (it's not a house it's a home). Lib felt at home with her sweat tea, grits, and dry raisin bread. Go Lib!

 

Disney or Bust

Here is a picture of my cousin Jason (it's hard to write that without the 'Y') and his son Toby. Toby is only a few months older than Negley Anne... he is awesome. He lasted just as well as Negley did for a late night. We need more Rosemeyer cousins!

Matt and Lib with Negley Anne... after a very large meal.

Another Rosemeyer cousin, David and his girlfriend Amy... we have to get them up to Pittsburgh sometime soon.

 

So many pictures, not enough time to blog

I have so many pictures that I would like to post, but sadly not enough time or energy in the day to get it done. I will try to get them up here and there, but you'll have to be patient. Jayson is out of town for the next few days, so with Negley Anne by myself I don't quite have the desire to sit at the computer after a long day. These are fun pictures though, so enjoy!


Our good friends Mark and Courtney needed to use our camera in order to send a photo of themselves to their nephew... this is what happens when you borrow our camera. The silliest picture we can find we put on the world wide web. Love you guys! Hugs and kisses right back at you!


Nutella... enough said.


When I find a decent picture of Negley Anne and I, I feel somewhat obligated to put it up. There's not many of the two of us because I take most of the pictures in the family ( If there's one thing I know, it's photo composition...) On top of that, in most of the pictures of us I look like poo. I thought this was cute. I almost lost an eye to her that day though...

 

Fun with Curlers Part II

Last weekend Negley Anne and I had the weekend to ourselves due to Laurelville. I thought it would be fun to put curlers in her hair since I haven't done it in a long time. If you check this blog often, I put a picture up a long time ago of Negs with the rollers in that might possibly be the cutest picture I've ever taken of her. These aren't quite as good... mostly because I took the flash off, but they are cute just the same. After doing her hair, she proceeded to take everything out of her diaper bag. And then put it all back in. Out, in. Out, in. A fun evening it was. I might need to get the girl some new toys... The airial shot.
Up close with the Negs. Along with Tillie's pink neck in the background... oh to have a puppy in the house. It never ends.
I've gotten a couple of comments about Negley Anne in her halloween costume. Pictures will come... it just might take a couple of days to get them up. They won't disapoint!

 

Laurelville is here!

Well, the first Laurelville weekend is now over, and it was a sucess. Negley Anne and I traveled up on Saturday morning for a few hours to check everything out. Jayson was the speaker, as well as running the show with Mark Steffey. All seemed to go well, which is good because there are four more to go this fall.

Tommy and Negley Anne getting their groove on in the club room.

 

Searching for the perfect pumpkin

A couple of weeks ago, Jayson, Negley Anne and I traveled to the pumpkin patch close to our house to find some good pumpkins for halloween. Even though no one comes to our house for trick or treating (3 years and running without a single doorbell ring), we thought it would be fun to carve them out and let Negley Anne play with the innerds. Sadly, it's been two weeks now since we did this, and they are still sitting on our kitchen sink... whole. A very concerned Negley Anne. Maybe it was because she was the only kid there without mittons, a hat, or a big old winter coat. Nahhh. (Sayward, do you like how the binky matches the vest?)

She found the perfect Negley sized pumpkin!

 

Random pictures from last weekend

I'm not necessarily convinced that this is the cutest picture of Negley Anne that i've taken, but I thought it was funny. The girl loves her rice and beans... and what would a meal be if she didn't have grahm crackers and some form of fruit. Sounds odd, looks nasty, but she loves it. Better pictures of the Negs to come...

Last weekend Jay and I were able to get tickets to the Steelers game... it was a blast. They had not been doing too well and this made everything a little better. While we were at the game we found our friends Jame and Christa - also away from their kids. Go Steelers!

Jayson and I were lucky enough to get some tickets from a new friend of ours... Anthony Madison. He just moved to Pittsburgh and started playing for the Steelers this fall. It was a blast to be able to see him play at Heinz Field and for the team to win. I thought I'd send a little love to him on the blog. Go Madison!

 

Negley Anne's First Oreo

I wouldn't go so far to say that I've gotten hate mail in the past week or so... but I know that my good blogging friends out there are a little disapointed in me and my posts lately. All this talk I gave about being better was just a lie. Like everyone, life just got busy and blogging took a back seat to trying to relax after working all day. If I had the ability to do it at work, you would have an update everyday - but as it is, I can't. For all my students out there, that's probably a good thing.
Things at school have been okay, but a little more stressful than usual. If you live in Pittsburgh and have read the news about recent shootings, you'll know what I'm talking about. Anyway, to get on to the pictures - Negley Anne has made out with my "bad day at work" in terms of chocolate. On my way home with her while stoping at the store it was hard for me to pass up the oreos when I'm feeling blue. She didn't seem to mind.


I've turned my daughter into a chocoholic like her mom.

 

New Pictures

These aren't really new pictures... but I haven't gotten around to taking what I have on our camera off and onto the computer. If any of you are like me and check people's blogs almost everyday to see if they've updated it, I'm sorry that I haven't been to good at it lately. I even check my own blog to see if by some chance Jayson has updated it... I think those days are over. Here are some new pictures to tide everyone over until the camera gets cleaned out.


Tillie and Willie relaxing together.


This picture was taken in Michigan to show the Bishop family how much we love this back-pack. We take it everywhere! Negley loves being in it so much sometimes I wear it around the house just to cheer her up. Thanks again!


This picture I put on here just to freak my mother out. Mary Lou had the chance to come up to Surf City this year to check things out, and told me repeatedly not to take Negley out on the boat. I love you mom... but this was just too much fun. Anyway, this picture captures Surf City for this summer to me. Courtney, Negley Anne and I out on the boat while Jayson drove. It doesn't get much better than that.

Hopefully updated pictures soon!
