Surprise DADDY!!

Daddy just learned about the surprise party

End of the day wagon rides

Mommy had a surprise 40th birthday party for daddy today at Stoney Creek Metro park. He had NO idea since his birthday isn't until September 20!! There was a great turnout and he was blown away. Mommy didn't take many pics cuz we kept her pretty busy. It was a long day but a lot of fun. Love you daddy!

Take me out to the ballgame

Giving the hand signal for sliding home...lol

Brendan chillin' at GG's house

My favorite part of the game...Pirate Pete and wee Pete gettin' jiggy with it

Who would've thought my first baseball game would be the Pirates?! Of course I was at Justin Verlander's no hitter (in utero) but I don't think that counts. ;) It sure was a hot one that day. We didn't quite make it to the end but we made it to the seventh inning stretch and sang Take me Out to the Ball game which Papa said it's not a game until you sing that.

McCaffrey Reunion

Had a great time making new friends w/all of our extended family today at the reunion. There was a sweet playground where we spent the majority of the day. We had a cookout and sang Happy Birthday to Aunt Theresa and had cake and all sorts of delicious treats!! Good times!!

GG & Pap's

GG's Gorgeous Hydrangeas (say that 5 times fast)

Who is that Hollywood starlet behind those shades?? It's GG (post-eye surgery)!! So glad that we got a chance to visit w/yinz a bit during our brief stay in Pittsburgh. :) Love yinz all!
