Kyle Walks!

Here is a video of Kyle walking. He is definitely getting closer. Yesterday (yes the day MSU beat Michigan, at the Big House), Kyle was walking a ton and clapping for the Spartans!

Kyle's First Trip to the Cider Mill

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.

A Weekend Away at Mackinac Island

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)

Kyle's First Zoo Boo

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!

Mom's Wedding

Here are some pictures of Mom and Larry's wedding! It was a nice day and everyone looked dandy! Congrats!

Kyle loves books!

So, being that Kyle's first word is book "gook" you know he LOVES books. In fact, lately, after we read a book, if he wants to hear it again, he gets down-right whiny so that we will read it again! His teacher-mom is so proud! He even knows how to turn the page on his own too! And I was waiting for someone to comment on a previous blog as to how impressed you were that we were reading to Kyle while tailgating! So, I will post the picture again for you to see! (and maybe you will even make a comment)

Granny's 91st Birthday

We celebrated Great-Granny's 91st birthday on Sunday! We made her salad, spaghetti, bread, cookies, and brought a cake too! She liked her chocolate and should be set until Christmas! Kyle showed off for her and got a good laugh trying to smell her pretty roses!
