Yes it's possible. If your connection is WPA encrypted with a good password, it will be difficult to see what websites you go to. Other people using the router may also be able to see the websites you go to. Your ISP will be able to see what websites you're going to unless you use an encrypted connection to a remote proxy.
can they see the actual pages? like the things you type on them?
Who are you trying to hide from? That's the most important question here. Secure from your mom is a different definition of security than if you want to be secure from the NSA.
In general, without any encryption, it's entirely possible for someone to intercept everything you send and receive over the net without a great deal of effort. Your ISP will technically be able to see everything you send and receive, although only a court order would convince them to spy on you like that. ISPs do keep logs of every site you visit just in case the FBI comes along and asks for it, but there are no logs of what's on the sites you look at or the specific things you send to the sites.
If you you're using an unencrypted wireless connection, someone could pull up in front of your house with a laptop, wireless card and packet sniffer, and see everything coming into and out of your computer. So if your wireless connection isn't encrypted, you should probably fix that.
