Halloween!

This Halloween was actually the first one that Caleb and I have spent together.

One thing i love about Caleb is his love of Halloween! It is one of my favorite holidays as well, and this might have to do something with the fact that we are both October babies. Fall is my favorite time of year.

Caleb's cousins have an anual Halloween party that is always tons of fun. This year we were Kurt Cobain and Courney Love. We are rebels without a cause.

Our first pumpkin carving together! This guy was Caleb's idea and I have to say I loved how he turned out.

We handed out candy to all the adorable neighborhood children, ate more of the candy that was meant for them than maybe we should have, and then we watched Nightmare Before Christmas because I had never seen it! And also because I can't handle any kind of remotely scary movie.

Happy Halloween!! :)

Calaway Park!

We did our annual Calaway Park trip this summer with Skye and Aaron, and Mom and Dad. It was a ton of fun as usual! But I always end up feeling sick and then convinced to go on more rides. Can't wait until next year to do it again!

Caleb won this bear! I was so proud!

We gave it to Ayla who loves everything stuffed. Such a sweetie!

Me and my sweetheart!

Oregon Coast

This is me still catching up!
Here are some pics of the Hill family reunion at the Oregon Coast. We spent a whole week there and it was so much fun and so relaxing! None of us had packed for the weather...a bit colder than we had expected! We rented a huge house right on the beach...the view was amazing. I had such a great time. I couldn't have asked for a better family in law!

Caleb and I at the tide pools

There was a lot of sand castle building going on. The boys masterpiece!

Two Kaileys, two Jareds, two Jocelyns and two Zachs!

More sandcastles!

A little hike we did up to that point.

Caleb flying Matt's kite. I'm suprised it didn't pick him up off the ground! it was a windy day!

The Hill sisters!

Cousins!

Bonfire the last night we were there.

Thanks Mom and Dad Lee for the fun trip!

Montreal!

Well hello everyone! It has been a while! We have been busy moving, working, and settling into our new home. So now I have to play catch up on a few of these posts!
We went to Montreal this summer...that is how long it`s been!
We had a long weekend, and thought we should go somewhere. Our friends Dave and Marie live in Montreal, and I had never been, so off we went!

We spent some time exploring Old Montreal. It was beautiful!

I love this picture. It looks like me and Dave are together! ha. Marie had a course that weekend so we didn`t see much of her. That`s their little boy Asher. He`s adorable.

This very fuzzy picture is us at the International Jazz Festival that just happened to be going on that weekend. We watched a few shows and wandered around.

Us on the subway!

We went to see the Basilica. Lots of steps to get up there! We saw a couple people doing it on their knees! That is dedication. It was huge inside.

Caleb with Peter, James and John I think.

Us with all the candles. It was so hot in this room! There were hundreds of lit candles!



So the highlight of the trip was probably our dinner at Schwart`s. There was a line up a ways down the street to get in. Once you get in they put you at a table usually with other people. It was cramped and pretty ghetto in there! We ordered the smoked meat sandwiches of course...to die for!

This pic of the pickle is for you Lynz!

Yummy!!!

Montreal has a little thing called Bixie Bikes. They have all these bike stations down town, and you can rent them. You take one out, can use it for half an hour, and if you return it to another station within that time, it won`t charge you and you can take out another bike. We rented them one day and rode them all over downtown Montreal. It was really fun!

Us and the Bixi Bikes!

So the Bixi Bikes were really fun until Caleb had the great idea of riding them through a park. Caleb looked on a map that said there was a bike station half way through the park so we would be good to go. Well we rode and rode our bikes...up a giant hill for like an hour! Then we got midway and searched for the bike station...no where to be found. At that point it was getting dark out, so we had to ride our bikes down hill in the dark! It was so scary! I was not happy...as expressed in this picture.







This was our view at the top. Worth it? mmmm...not really.

But we did have a fantastic time. Montreal is such a cool place, and we are grateful to wonderful friends who let us stay with them!
