13 years

Today Cathy & I celebrated our 13 year together-ness. Seems just like yesterday we met and were kids ;) 143 hun!

The most wonderful time of the year

Merry Christmas too all!

This year was pretty awesome, Davey was really into rippin' into the presents. He knew right what to due, he was afraid of Santa tho. We did a lot of visiting and hanging out at the house enjoying the season. Now cue the pics!

Santa comes to Macungie

Yesterday the Macungie Fire-fighters came to our development to spread the holiday chear & to raise safety awareness to the kids. David was amazed by the loud sirens but scared once again by the Fatman in the red suit.


Thanks Macungie Firefighters!

The busy time of year

So I have neglected to post anything for about two weeks now...sorry Blogger fans. Been very busy with work, shopping, holiday partys, etc. I am headed into a nice winter break so I should be able to catch my breath.

This past weekend we decided to stay warm by the fire and chill at home base since the weather was crappy. Here are some pictures of Davey chillin'...I mean staying warm.


Hey Ladies...How you doing?

Happy Birthday Gage & Refinery Holiday

This weekend we had two parties, today it was our Nephew Gage's Birthday so we trotted up thru the snow to wish him the best. Gage if you are reading this, say WOOHOO I'm on the internet! Above was a nice shot of Grandma Stettler with her grandson's David & Gage.

Davey was having a good time chasing Gage around

Here is Davey explaining to everyone that he is ok


Davey enjoyed watching Gage opening his gifts


Happy Birthday Gage

Yesterday we had a mini Refinery Reunion at Gloria's house, it was great to see some of the old crew!
