Happy Halloween from the Reedell Gals

This was our recent Halloween photo shoot...

Happy Halloween!!

Pumpkin Carving Time

luckily Angela reminded us tonight (sunday) that we still needed to carve our pumpkins...

Solly Brothers Farm

It's that time of the year... field trip time for Scottsville Preschool.  We enjoyed a nice day at the farm with friends.  The kiddos learned what it takes to run a farm, pick pumpkins, eat healthy foods, and best of all, how to enjoy the outdoors!!  We were fortunate that the weather cooperated, and all had fun!!

Halloween - spinning style!

Wings, beer, and spinning?  Hmmmm... ok it wasn't really the first two, but I was LA Fitness's first Hooters girl to teach a spin class.  I came with my outfit covered up and right before class started, surprised everyone with my "costume".  Everyone got a good chuckle - Happy Halloween All!

what is wrong with this picture?

hmmm... Angela looks a bit furry today...

toothless wonder

This week was VERY busy for the tooth fairy in the Reedell household.  She visited Angela twice... in two days!  Angela has now lost 6 teeth, and fits in well with the season - as a jack o lantern!  With any luck the teeth will grow in before she looses any more teeth, or we'll have to go back to babyfood.

Fall Pictures

Each year we look forward to taking fun shots in the backyard.  Although we didn't have the beautiful colors of last year, the pictures still came out cute - enjoy!
Here are a few of our favorites...

Very scary... an October Nor'Easter

Wow... seemed like just a few days ago it was sunny and 70 degrees - oh yeah, it WAS!  And then came along a crazy weather system that gave us a freak late October snowstorm.  Snow amounts ranged from less than an inch in Philly to over a foot in the Poconos.  It was VERY strange to see pumpkins and snowmen sitting side by side.  We ventured up to Washington, NJ to visit Grandmom Reedell, not knowing the snow was going to move in soo quickly.  Luckily we did take some gloves and hats, so the we had our "first official Reedell snowball fight" of the season.  The girls even enjoyed sledding on the driveway when we got home and built their first ever October snowman.  It has been a crazy year weatherwise... guess we'll have to wait and see what this winter will bring!!

watching some tv....

if you need a chuckle, then check out Ollie and Jake enjoying some tv time together....

and by the way, neither mind... too cute!!

Wow, 9 years ago...

We had just become Mr. and Mrs. Scott Reedell.  Hard to believe it's been that long already.  And even harder to believe all that we have done in those years.  It's been a great 9 years, and we are looking forward to many more to come!!! 

We couldn't get out on our anniversary, but we did get to go out to dinner the night after, just the two of us.  It was great to have a quiet evening out to celebrate us!!

NE Philly LA Fitness

About a month ago I took on another spin class.  This time it was at the brand new LA Fitness in NE Philadelphia (located on Grant Ave, close to the intersection of Grant and the Blvd).  Their facilities are beautiful, and the spin room rocks.  I teach every tuesday morning at 9:15am - come join me for a spin that you won't soon forget!!

This is the new spin room - with stadium seating, fans on the ceiling and "just enough lighting" it makes for a fantastic place to teach and take a class.    But don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself!!

Soccer Picture Time

This was our first time EVER to have professional sports pictures done.  Every other year, we would be away or busy, but this year we finally got them taken.  These are the two team pictures taken on my phone, so I will post the "real pictures" when we get them back....

Both teams are having a GREAT season - thanks to great coaches and fantastic kids!!!

Firefighter Prevention Days

What a great way to teach kids how they can prevent fires! We went over to the Trevose Firecompany for a day of fun. The girls got to learn how to crawl through the smoke of a "burning trailer" and then climb out the window safely. They also donned their pink firegirl hats, then aimed the firehose at the burning buildings. They were amazed how hard it was to direct the hose and the force of the water. We saw many friends and had a great day!

Fun fall day with the family!!

We finally had a "free day" on the weekend, so we decided to head to the orchard for some apple picking.  It was actually around 75 degrees and VERY sunny while we were riding the wagon out to the fields.  The girls helped us find lots of apples - and it is true, they are sooo much better fresh off the tree than from the supermarket!!  We then came home and enjoyed an apple cobbler and delicious apples for the next week or so.  Great family day!!
