Disney Live!

Halloween afternoon we went to Disney Live at the Breslin Center in East Lansing. My favorite picture is the one of the buys in front of the MSU Basketball trophy case.

Halloween

We went as frogs this halloween. Here are some pictures from Halloween night. We went to the neighbors at Poppop's house, then to trunk or treat at Queen of the Miraculous Medal in Jackson. After that we visited Grandpa Sam.

Fathers Day Weekend "09"

We had a very busy weekend this year for fathers day. It started with a wedding on Friday and then never slowed down. On Saturday, we took the dudes to their first Tigers game. We parked as close as we could get and then let the dudes walk the rest of the way. On their was to Comerica Park, they got their first glimpse of Ford Field. I am sure we will be seeing a game there some time too.






Uncle Sammy boomball was nice enough to come to the game with us and help watch the dudes. They both wanted to hold his hand on the walk to the game. Here is a picture of all the boys under the big Tiger in front of Comerica Park. It was so hot that day and Uncle Sammy and Aidan got the shady spot.

Uncle Tommy gave us some really good seats for the game. So I let all of the boys go down and sit in the good seats and I went shopping. I got the dudes new Tigers hats and cups to bring to their next Tiger game. The attention span of a two and a half year old is about 30 minutes and by the time you added in the heat and the energy it took to walk from the car, I think we watched about three innings of the actual game.

Despite being tired, the dudes did enjoy their first ride on the baseball Ferris wheel. Then we headed to the customer service office and the dudes got a certificate with their name and the date on it to show when they attended their first game. And a special thanks goes out to Uncle Sammy for coming with us and also for having the muscle to carry Aidan all the way back to the car.

On Sunday, we headed to Jackson to visit Gramma and Poppa. In the last blog you saw that Aunt Karen had made a trip to Michigan to visit us, and she had a left a present for the dudes before she headed back home, the biggest blowup waterslide known to man. The dudes loved it! THANKS AUNT KAREN! They played in that cold water until their little lips were blue.

Once they figured out they could spray everyone with the water cannons, we were all in trouble. There was water flying every where. Everyone enjoyed playing with the waterslide. Come back next summer Aunt Karen and we will show you how much fun we have in the water.

The final stop on our tour that weekend was to visit with Grandpa Sam, Sandy and Cameron. We took Grandpa Sam over his fathers day present and showed him our driving skills. I am sure he was impressed.

Uncle David's Graduation Party

Uncle David graduated from high school in May of 2009. Yes, I am that far behind in posting the blog. So in June, Uncle David had a graduation party! The dudes love to party. The party was held in Spring Arbor. As you can see below, Grandma K attended the party and was a great help in keeping the dudes occupied so mom could help with the party. The dudes love anything with a steering wheel.





Here is Aidan partying down with Aunt Sherry. Not really sure what he is doing but, I am sure it is entertaining.

We also had a surprise visit from Aunt Karen that weekend. It was so nice to see her! This was the first time she had met the dudes. And just like the rest of us, she thought they were crazy.
