Pittsburgh Nov. 2 & 3

During Matt's break from school (he had a week off). We went to Pittsburgh with some friends of ours The Ashments. We had so much fun and loved seeing Pittsburgh. What a great place I just loved everything about it.

Pittsburgh

This is what we rode to the top to see the city of Pittsburgh. Its called Monongahela Incline -- called the Mon Incline by locals -- is the oldest and steepest incline in the United States, as well as the nation's oldest cable car operation.

After we rode up and down the incline.
We went and ate at the Famous Pirmanti Bros .
and then walked around seeing some of the downtown.





I just love Carters little crack.


After dragging the kids everywhere. They need to release energy.
So we took them to a park and let them play. They had a ton of
fun on this blue slide that you go down on card board.

I love this picture (just not my double chin)!

After checking into the Hotel and swimming for a bit.

We went back up the incline to see the city at night.

Man was it beautiful. I shot all this night pictures in manual mode.

I just love the clouds and all the lights.

This is right out side the Hard Rock at Union Station! They have a light

show with water and music. They kids had tons of fun dancing.

Happy Halloween!!

We started out our Halloween day bright and early with soccer games for Hunter and Tyson (pictures to come of them soon). After their games we got ready and went to Wegmens to go trick or treating. They boys love Wegmens I get to grocery shop while the 3 older boys play in their play center. I love my Lion!

Hunter decide to actually wear the pirate

outfit I bought for him to wear.

His been spider man and Hulk also.

My cute little dragon.

After going around the store and getting candy.
They had an area blocked off with food and activities
for the kids to do.







HaLlOwEeN NiGhT!!
Matt and I are pirates if you can't tell. Our friends were
so kind to let us borrower them.
By the way I froze my butt off. I kept joking that
next year I am dressing up as an Eskimo. It was really one cold night it had
been raining all day long and cleared up just in time to go out.
The kids had tons of fun going from house to house.

Troy( the rocker)

this is one of Matt's Pharmacy buddies!

Estelle and Quintin

(Troys wife and one of my good friends)

Carving Pumpkins!

I just loved this picture of him and my flash did not

go off so I had to make it bright. With the results in

one funky picture.

Paxton's, Hunter's, Tyson's and Matt's

Boy did this take us a few hours. I can't wait

for next year when Carter will want us to do one

for him...we may have to call in some help!

Playing in the Leafs!

These little guys are growing on a tree in our backyard.

And sense we have two HuGe trees in our backyard.

Today we played.

For some reason Tyson is the only

one that really does not get that we have to dress

warm here. He is always trying to sneak outside not dressed and

with flip flops on. Today I let him try it out.

Tyson did not last very long but the boys

all had a ton of fun playing in the leafs.

Hunter's School Parade!

At Hunter's school today they had a Halloween Costume Parade.

So we braved the wind and went.

Hunter

Brooklyn is Hunter friend that is in the same
class and she also just lives a few doors up from us.

The boys playing while we wait to see the parade.
