October Fun

Halloween Parade
Jeff's school had a Halloween Parade for all the Dental Students kids.... We split up into groups and paraded around the halls to each of the different modules and clinics.  Trey had a blast!
We were a little late so we missed the big group picture, but believe me when I say... there were LOTS of kids!

 Look at those adorable twins!  They were dressed as Thing 1 and Thing 2... They make Trey look HUGE!  Oh wait, he is HUGE! :)

Ohio
This past weekend we made our way down to Columbus, Ohio to visit some good friends.  Ryan, Taryn, and Stella.  (Ryan is going to Dental School at Ohio State.)
Trey made a new friend.

And found some new toys...

Saturday the boys went to an Ohio State football game while the girls + Trey shopped.  I have to teach him early!  (And yes, we have the same carseat and stroller.)

 Thanks for having us guys!  We will be back soon I'm sure!


 Witches Night

This girl.... knows how to throw a party!

 

Seriously...  She is good.  Someday I might even have to copy her ideas... if I ever get the motivation.  :)

The striped sock crew... this was not planned.

The Food. 

I loved the orange peppers... I mean...jack-o-lanterns with spaghetti.  So creative!  And those caramel apples.... to die for!

The company.

The Display.

She even had her husband build a coffin to put all the food in.

 

The Entertainment.

Bowling with a pumpkin.

The Mummy Contest...

And all the good lookin witches.

So as you can see, we've had a great month so far!

...With only more fun to come!
Stay Tuned...

It's Official...

You might as well call him Dr. Wegener...

Yes, it's true...  He filled not one... not two... but THREE of my cavities.  (And yes, I know I have horrible teeth.  That's why I married a dentist.)  :)

It may have taken him a little longer than the average practicing Dentist but overall he did great!  Really, I was quite impressed. Especially considering I was the third actual patient he had done a filling on.  And for someone who is scared of shots (not me of course), he has that skill mastered!  

One good thing about having Jeff be my dentist is I can be brutally honest... I can tell him what I liked and what I didn't.  And most importantly, I can demand more numbing medication!  Plus for a learning dentist, his wife will be his best critic!

Now the good news would be if I said I didn't have to go back, but fortunately for Jeff and unfortunately for me, I have lots more work to do.... babysitters anyone??  :)

It's Always Fun when Grandma's in Town...

Jeff's mom came to town last Thursday and just left yesterday morning.  She stayed almost a week.  We had a blast having her come visit!  Trey loved playing and hanging out with his Grandma Kathie.  We hope she comes back soon!

Aside from our usual dinner outings, we were able to fit in a few more fun things... One of which included going to Phipps Conservatory.  Considering we have lived in Pittsburgh for over two years and haven't been here, I think it's about time we checked it out.  I'm glad we did!

 This was some type of spider flower.  I can't remember the name, but it gave me the willies.

I think we just might have to go back in the Spring.... :)

Saturday we went on a Ducky Tour... you ride on this boat/bus lookin thing that takes you on a tour of the city, half on land and half on water... and you learn all sorts of fun facts about Pittsburgh.  I have never done this before and really enjoyed it.  I think Trey enjoyed it too.

We stayed up late playing lots of games.

 We couldn't let her leave without one final stop at Jeff and I's favorite sandwich place in Pittsburgh!

If you come visit us, we will take you here too! I promise!

They bonded just in time for her to go home.  Isn't that the way it always works?  :(

Kathie was so kind to watch Trey a couple of times for us while I went and got work done at the Dental School... from my very own Dr. Wegener.... which leads me to my next post...

Thanks for visiting us Kathie!  Like I said, it's always fun when Grandma's in Town!  :)

I Love Fall!

This is the beautiful tree that greets me each time I walk out my front door. 

Can't get much better than that!

How can you not love this boy??

We might be biased, but we sure think he's pretty cute!

Utah State Hey Aggies All The Way!!!

GO AGGIES... GO AGGIES....  HEY HEY HEY!!!!

Don't worry.... We cheered them on all the way from Pittsburgh!

OUTER BANKS... Dental School Style

What better way to end the summer than to spend a full week on the BEACH with 7 other couples!?!  Let's just say we had ourselves a good time.  I think amazing would be a good word to describe it.  Yes, it was Amazing.

The week before we were to arrive, Hurricane Earl made its debut, resulting in an evacuation of the island.  Thank heavens we BARELY missed it, and made it just in time for perfect 80 degree weather and sunny skies the WHOLE week!!!  We lucked out!

Rather than tell you what we did... I will show you what we did.

(This is your warning.  There are LOTS of pictures.)
 
All 25 of us.

 Thank you Tyler and Carlee for the great photos!

 
Lots of eating and Lots of Great Food!

Did I mention food??  These two little guys were pretty tasty.  :)
 I've never seen blue crabs... thought they were pretty neat.

Poor crabs didn't stand a chance...

...with these guys around.

 The boys enjoyed watching football in the theater room.

 Took a trip to the light house...

And on the way came across this gigantic chair.  Couldn't resist a picture.
(I made Jeff get a picture. He's real thrilled can't you tell?)  :)

Enjoyed some beautiful North Carolina sky's.  (photos taken by Carlee)

Spent loads of time at the beach...

 Love my Boys... :)

 Hung out with this little monkey...

 Spent time with these lovely ladies...

 Watched Jeff surf and boogie board.  (I gave it a good attempt.) :)

Relaxed at the pool.

Walked on the beach at night searching for crabs.  This was our house.

Played lots of Games...

And on the last night, went to dinner at Atlantic Coast Cafe.

Oh yeah, and Trey got to play with his buddies all week.

We couldn't leave without one final shot.

 I mean... without 50 final shots...

When asked how much fun we had... This is how we responded! :)

 And all the while, this little man was as happy as a beaver.  :)

I don't know about you... But I think I'll go back.  :)
