Steelers win!!!

We attended the second to the last Steeler game of the season this past Sunday. It was Steelers vs Titans.  I found these amazing fake lashes at Target of all places for three dollars!!!! Sooo awesome!!!!

My family meets before the game and I had a very early lunch at Southern Tier Brewery right near the stadium. Below is myself, my parents, sister, niece and brother in law. 


This is my niece posing with Steeley McBeam…


And this is my sister and brother-in-law posing with their favorite player!!! Some of us are ready to see him retire but these two are his biggest fans!!!!


I will leave you with a video of my very favorite part of the game!!!! I absolutely LOVE the Steelers and when you are at the games, the feeling is electric!!! The best moment is when they play renegade!!! The stands go crazy and the terrible towels fly!!!!

Steelers Win Against Falcons

Let me start off by saying...I am a proud Aunt! I love when my sisters and brothers send me pics of their kids!!!! I promise to always share them with you! I got this on Saturday...

My brother lives in Columbus so it is inevitable that my nieces and nephews will be buckeyes...it is starting early!! HA!

On Sunday, I spent the day with family again at the Steelers Game in Heinz Field!!!! The Steelers were playing the Atlanta Falcons. I got to go with my mother and father using my friend's tickets. It was such a great day! It was supposed to be hot which I love way better than having to bundle up for snow!

It is so hard to believe that it is October with the weather we are having in Pittsburgh, PA. It usually snows on Halloween and this year it is 90 degrees 3 weeks before Halloween!!! HA!

My sister and her family came down to the game and we met up with them beforehand. Their seats are in a different section from us but we got together for lunch before the game.

We met up at Local Brewhouse on the North Shore in Pittsburgh. It was great! Here we are....

What a great game!!! We do not have shade in any of our seats and it was 90 degrees! We just kept wet terrible towels on our heads and necks and kept praying for clouds!!! Great game though!!!! I think the final score was 40 to 17? Steelers won!! YEA~

Here is the view from our seats at Sunday's game!!!

When I was in Kauai, Hawaii ...I ordered french toast. When it came to the table; instead of butter or whipped cream it had Haupia (Pronounced halpia) on top. It is a square of creamy, coconut pudding!!! Yummy!! It was so delish on the french toast! Before I left the island, my friend Mariela bought me some so I could bring it home to make. It is sold as a powder that you mix with water and let harden in the fridge. It is the consistency of jello jigglers. SOOOO YUMMY!!!

 The finished product!

This is soooo yummy on french toast, waffles and pancakes!!!! It is a delish way to add sweetness without sugar or syrup!! YUMMO! If you love coconut, you will love this cream treat!

Have a great day everyone~~~

Anyone ever tried the locals favorite foods while on vacation and have to bring some home with you?!?! What was it? What fun things did you do over the weekend?!?!

Weekend Recap - Part 2 - Daddy's Birthday and Steelers Football

Good morning everyone!!!  Just finishing up the late weekend recap with  a Part 2!!! LOL!!

My family was in town this past weekend for the Great Race in Pittsburgh! We do the race every year as a family and this year did not disappoint!

After the race excitement was over (previous post) we celebrated my Dad's birthday since most o fus kids were there. We missed my brother and his family but he had to make an urgent trip to Japan for work. We love you guys if you are reading!!!! SMOOCHES!

After the race, we all went out to eat at Olive Garden and then everyone came over to my condo!!!  Did I mention how much I love everyone at my house??! I miss them all as soon as they leave - it is so fun to have people over!!! Especially my family!! Everyone chatted a while...

I love this of Mom and Dad snuggling in the chair...ran out of seats...LOL!!

Then we sang Happy Birthday to Dad and he blew out his 75 candles on his Bethel Bakery cake!!! Bethel Bakery is the only cake my family loves!!! We have used them since my parents moved to Bethel Park before we children were born! It is our go to bakery!!!

Then around 4PM everyone needed to head out...my little sister had a three hour drive home and my parents had a two hour drive. So we all said goodbye except my oldest sister and her husband and daughter. They were spending the night in Pittsburgh to go to the Steelers game at 8PM that night and they invited me along!!! YIPPEE!!

So off we all went to the game at Heinz Field!!!

Just a few obligatory selfies with the field in the background! We had a great time even though Steelers lost! UGH!!!  That atmosphere is so electric in Heinz Field on game day - I love being there in person!

The season can still turn around...Go Steelers!!! There is always next week!!!

Today I am thinking about how very thankful for friends and family that inspire and teach me everyday! My parents have been so supportive every time I call with questions about this dishwasher fiasco and my friends at work and home continue to give me great advice when I ask for it! 

I am so thankful that I know that I do not have to have all the answers today...I just have to find out who does - ask around and get ideas and input...this alone helps me soooo much!!!!!!!!


What team do you cheer for?? Would you rather watch in person or on TV? Do you have any family traditions that do not have anything to do with holidays? tell me about them please!! Hugs
