More Fall Fun

Last weekend we went to the AutumnFest at the Seven Springs "Ski Resort" (the whole resort is about the size of Snowbird's bunny hill). Other then the hot chocolate tasting booth they had there (where I spent most of my time!), I liked Triple B Farms better. Below is a picture of us at the top of the ski resort - I don't think their season is going to start anytime soon. I forgot there was such a height difference between Zach and I!

We also had a fall party at our church. Zach entered the pie eating contest to defend his title as the champ from last year's party. I have to say, this was not one of my proudest moments as Mrs. Zachary Pitcher, especially when he started eating the table cloth. Gotta love him though! I think Chris Derrick cheated by storing half the pie in his beard.

Aubrey say's "HAPPY HALLOWEEN"! (That's her laughing face!)

One of the grossest things in the whole world to me is loogeys. I don’t know if that's how you spell it, in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever written the word loogey down, what I mean by loogey is the phlegm that people hack up and spit out. Could anything be grosser? I think I’m pretty tough, I don’t consider myself a girly girl, but hearing someone hacking one up will always make me dry heave – always. The only thing grosser then hearing someone hack up a loogey is seeing one…or so I thought. So I went to Kuhns the other day and was getting Aubrey’s carseat out of the car. That parking lot is super tight and crowded, so tons of people drove right past me while I was doing this, including some people on motorcycles. So I straightened up with the carseat and noticed there was a huge fresh loogey on the ground right next to my foot. Just as I was thinking how lucky it was that I didn’t step in it, I realized my left calf felt warm and very wet. It took me a good 30 seconds before I could bring myself to look and yes, I had loogey on my leg! The only thing I can figure is that someone driving by, probably one of the motorcyclist, spit a loogey at me while he was driving by. I’d like to think they weren’t aiming for me, but maybe I’d cut them off or something, I doubt it but who knows. Anyways, thank goodness for a well stocked diaper bag. I used at least 10 wipes to clean off my leg and then another 10 layers of hand sanitizer on my leg and my hands, with me gagging and shaking the whole time. I mean, who does that? There’s been a lot of talk on blogs about rednecks and I think spitting loogeys out your car window is definitely redneck. But spitting loogeys out your window into a crowded parking lot full of people? That goes beyond redneck - that’s just plain white trash! So I now realize that the grossest thing in the world isn’t hearing someone hock a loogey, or even seeing the loogey, but having the loogey on your leg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This picture has nothing to do with my post, but I didn't

want to leave you with something so gross, so here is

something cute, my niece Shannon (almost 3) and Aubrey

(about 2 months here).

Triple B Farms

Zach, Aubrey, and I went with some friends to Triple B Farms this weekend - what a cute place! Pumpkins, hayrides, cider, pies, scarecrows, goats on bridges - fun!

Aubrey insisted on going down the Liberty Tubeslide so I had to take her. She stayed asleep the whole way down, but I still think she enjoyed it.

Zach and I thought it would be really fun to get a picture of Aubrey in the pumpkins - she didn't think it was such a good idea though.

Check out these manly men with their cute pink blankets! I don't think we need to worry about any girls hitting on these two! What good dads.

What a great night!

Last night, for the first time, Aubrey slept all night in her crib. Here's a picture of her in the morning, still asleep! Too bad the flash from taking this picture woke her up, not so smart of me, but it was worth it!

Probably the cutest thing you’ll ever see

Morgan Nelson (born in August), Aubrey Pitcher (born in July), Ellie Smythe (born in April), and Natalie Roberts (born in July). Too bad Molly McNeal (another April baby) was at Disney World and couldn’t be in the picture.

Can you believe all the baby girls born in just a few short months? I’ve really never seen anything cuter then all those babies together. Below are more baby girls that friends of mine had. All the girls will be in nursery together at church for a while but then….we will all be moving shortly after. It didn’t hit me until I was looking at these cuties in the pack’n’play yesterday that our time in Pittsburgh is going to be over before we know it. Zach and I have lived here 27 months and we only have 20 months left until he graduates, and I’m really sad! How great would it be if these girls could grow up together, going to the same church and school (we would have all moved to Upper St. Clair of course). Then they could have joint birthday parties where they would look at pictures of all of them together as babies! But being that we are basically all students of some sort still, we’ll go our own ways eventually and some already have (Kim and Rachel – I’m talking to you!) What a great time in all of our lives though – I know I’m enjoying it. So, all you wives of students, residents, and husbands who have to travel all the time, I love all you guys!

I can't believe I'm doing this...

I can’t believe Zach and I have a blog. I have a friend (Brooke) who is a serious blogger and has been for a long time and proud of it. I didn’t really know what a blog was, so I would just make fun of it instead, like “hey, why don’t you go like post this on your like blog or something” or “are you going to go blog about this tonight?” (The bold parts should be said very sarcastically) But once I saw her blog, I realized that I wanted one! But I couldn’t admit this since I’d made fun of blogging, so I remained blogless. Then one day Zach created a blog for us, and even though I was pumped, I had to save face and make fun of him too “I can’t believe you are a blogger, you’re one of them now?” I was going to try and pretend I wasn’t into it and was just updating it for Zach because he’s busy and I’m such a good wife, but who am I kidding? I’ve wanted a blog for months and I don’t care who knows it!
