Great-Grandma's House

The boys love visiting Great-Grandma Oellig (as do we!) and we all enjoyed a wonderful day with family on our trip this past August.

No visit to Grandma's would be complete without presents...

College Buddies

We had the opportunity to have lunch with the McCool family while in PA and we loved getting to meet the newest McCool addition.

My Uncle the Truck Driver

Let me tell you...when your four years old and your uncle is a truck driver-- it's super cool. Travis loves getting to see his Uncle Paul, as it often means we get to see his big red truck too.

Here is Travis getting a chance to take control of the rig...

Friends

We were able to see many friends while on the east coast. Shame on us for not getting pictures of everyone!

The infamous Mark Nicoll!

Halloween Fun!

Our boys had a lot of fun dressing up for Halloween this year-- and Travis wore his Steelers uniform around the house quite a bit the last couple of weeks. We were able to visit three different pumpkin patches and participate in the costume parade/trick or treating event for kids in downtown Sisters. Overall, we definitely had a fun filled Halloween and I have officially eaten enough candy for triplets-- and I'm pretty sure we are only having one more!

Our little Steelers player...

The slide at the pumpkin patch-- it's a fast one!
IMG_0510

Note Luke's position on the slide-- first-- he's head first-- then-- backwards on his belly. The slide was so fast-- he could never get situated before he was sliding down all crazy like!

Pittsburgh Food!

There is nothing like food in Pittsuburgh! We always come home and feel the need to fast...or at least not eat meat for the rest of the century. I can feel my arteries clogging just thinking about the food!

Dinner at Primanti Brothers-- a must visit stop while in town.

Dinner at home one night-- mac 'n cheese and steaks of the grill! Yum!
