So Kyle officially turns one tomorrow, but we had his party last night and he sure had a blast! He painted his face full of frosting, and then pretty much ruined his mom's sweater with the green frosting. Note to self-do not get another first birthday cake with green frosting! We all had it on our teeth and clothes! Kyle loved all his gifts and is busy playing with them all day! More pics to come, but I am exhausted and going to bed!
Kyle had a great first Thanksgiving! He was a happy camper wherever we went. First, we went to Larry's where Grandma made a turkey! Kyle tried his first Thanksgiving meal, but for some reason he felt like flinging it more than trying it, which is not like him. Then, we went to Adam's Aunt Linda's to visit and of course eat some more!
Yeah, yeah. I know it's been awhile. After us being sick with the flu to conference time for Laura, the last thing I want to do is add to the blog. So before I go to bed, I'll tell you what Ky, Ky has been up to (that's what the kids at his school call him). He is now walking a lot more...down the hall (o.k. it's not that long, but he didn't do it a few weeks ago!), across the kitchen, etc. He gives hi-fives, likes to dance to a turtle toy by kicking his feet up and down while sitting, and gives kisses! He loves to be wild and crazy with Adam, and his newest favorite is going for rides in the laundry basket! We are having lots of fun, forget about the messy house!
So, I will attempt to leave you with a picture. As you can see, he loves the Spartans, loves to bang on his Dad's laptop, and loves to read, read, read!!!!
Have a good day!
Here's the story: We tried to go to the Cider Mill near our house (not the best one) on Sunday, a beautiful, fall sunny day. There was nowhere to park, so we said forget it, we'll come back one day during the week. So, we plan to go Monday. We hurry up, get home, get Kyle fed, haven't even eaten ourself when the rain starts to come down. I said, screw the idea of getting good pics and taking a nice, fall walk around. I sent Adam to go get the goods: Cider and donuts. Here's Kyle's first cider mill pics. Maybe next weekend?
P.S. I would have never taken pics of this pre-blogging days.
We spent the last weekend up at Mackinac Island. We were quite lucky to have such sunny weather and the colors were starting to change. Kyle was a champ and loved going around the island in the Burley. He slept in my arms the whole way over on the ferry. And he enjoyed the butterfly house too with Wendy and Brian! (This was pre-haircut...should have kept it long)
I know it's not Halloween yet, but we started the celebration early with our friends Chris, Jess, and Jesse and took the boys to the Detroit Zoo for the Zoo Boo. The boys even stayed up past their bedtime and loved seeing all the costumes! And the Dad's loved it too (what were you drinking? Hmmmm) Along the way, there were cool pumpkin exhibits (see pics) and we saw a few animals (no, I am not talking about the Rushlows-we saw them too :)) but will have to go back to see the polar bears another day. We got some candy too! Yum, yum! Moo and Ribbit, for now!
P.S. Yes, I got my haircut...and I don't like it, but we all know hair grows!
