Mel and Todd

Such a good helper

Kylie wanted to feed Drew :D

Mel and Todd

Seriously.....

Drew was all bundled up today for his sister's soccer game. Grammie Peach made the sweater and the hat, so cute!! I did not however, realize that when I was taking the picture that his doggie from his doggie blanket was right under his head and positioned just right to look like he has antlers...heee heee...it made me laugh when I downloaded the pictre :D
The other picture was supposed to be last nights picture, but I didn't get it posted. Todd was gone all week in California, and I took this cute picture of him and the kiddos playing....they were so happy to see him, so was I :D

Mel and Todd

Playing together is too much fun!

Mel and Todd

I think I can do this all by myself!

My baby is getting so big....he grabs the spoon and tries to feed himself....ahhh....I'm not ready for him to be a big kid :D

Best Friends

They are so cute...now that fall is here and Drew is 6 months old, I feel like I can dress him in big boy clothes....he is so cute!! Of course Kylie is adorable, they make me smile so much!!

Mel and Todd

Mmmm....carrots

Drew got to try something new tonight....we decided to go with carrots and he LOVED them!! Kylie was never a fan of any of the orange or yellow foods, so I was a little hesitant to try them. I think Drew is going to eat pretty much anything though, we shall see next week how he does with something new!

Mel and Todd

Sorry, no picture

Today has been a little crazy, so I didn't even take a picture. As I said to my dad earlier, "Welcome to September!" Yesterday Todd's class started, today swimming started for Kylie and I had zumba, tomorrow Todd has softball, Thursday is bowling, Friday is nothing, Saturday Kylie is going to the Circus and it is the bitemaster, and then Sunday is a day of rest and softball in the evening......and then repeat other than Saturday :D Good times! I will try to get a picture tomorrow :D

Mel and Todd

For Kelly.....

Just doing a little work on a little benefit for a good friend!!

Mel and Todd

40 Wonderful Years....

My parents celebrated 40 wonderful years of marriage today. We celebrated with them hanging out with my kids all day and then we went out to dinner tonight and came back to our house for Red Velvet cake.
This year is a year of milestones for many of us.....Todd's parents hit 40 years in August, my parents today, Josh and Amy hit 5 years at the end of this month, and Todd and I reach 1o years in November....

Mel and Todd

Oh Kylie......

She looks like she is actually doing something in this picture.....Just look at that smile on her face, she is having so much fun!!! She was so busy watching everything other than the ball though, so she didn't do much with the ball :D

Mel and Todd

Mia

Mia loves her ice! I had to make sure she made it on the blog at least once....sometimes we forget to take pictures of her, she doesn't change much :D

Mel and Todd

Mmmmm....food!

Drew was finally given the o.k to start trying food....he was very much all about it!

Mel and Todd

Back to School

Mel and Todd

Back to work for this Momma!

Kylie was so excited to go to Sandy's today, Drew didn't know what to think :D
Today: Drew hit the six month mark, and two bottom teeth are popping in!
Kylie just had a great day at Sandy's, tomorrow she starts 4 year old preschool!

Mel and Todd

Sharing

Kylie and Mia were sharing popcorn while Kylie was watching a movie this afternoon! This is the only time Mia will go right up to Kylie :D

Mel and Todd

Family and Fire

Mel and Todd

Today we had a surprise birthday party for Todd's cousin John, it was a fun afternoon filled with all the little ones, 7 girls and 2 boys. I couldn't pick just one picture from today, the one picture from the party is Aunt Amy with Drew, Kylie, Evie, and Aunt Gerrie holding Peyton.....we have tried to get a picture of all the "great" grandchildren with Todd's grandpa and it just doesn't work...I forgot to take more pictures after this one :D
The other picture is Katelyn and Kylie enjoying a fire at the Jernbergs......maybe we will be able to have a few more fires before it gets too cold, tonight was perfect as far as weather goes.

Maybe the last.....

Fire at our house for the season....maybe not :D We had a great time, but got eaten alive by bugs. Around 9 Kylie said she thought it was time to go in, and I asked if she was tired and she actually said, "Yes!" Mark it on your calendar people, Kylie admitted to being tired!!
I forgot to take any pictures last night, so I failed already at my picture a day challenge! It would have been a picture of watching football, the first MSU football game of the season was spent at the Hall's, it was a great time, and Kylie didn't go to bed until after 11....

Mel and Todd

Jump-a-Drew

I got out the Jump-a-roo yesterday and Drew absolutely loves it!! He also decided that he loves watching football....he was jumping, but keeping his eyes on the t.v. :D

Mel and Todd

Big Boy

Look who joined us at the dinner table! He wasn't so sure at first, but then seemed to enjoy being right with us!

Mel and Todd

Vacation!

Here is a group of pictures from our vacation....I had a tough time chosing just one picture from each day, so I put a couple from each day....they are in backwards order from our week! Birch Run, Frankenmuth, Kalkaska, Charlevoix, Petoskey, Traverse City
