Funny Stuff...

So we were getting out of the car at church today and Kaylynn saw the Bible and said proudly, "That's the Bible...it tells me so." :-)

Remebering a Good Laugh...

So I just found a new facebook group to join called "I Have More Foreign Policy Experience Than Sarah Palin." I'm only writing about this because I remembered the SNL skit with Tina Fey...which was hilarious...I laugh just thinking about it..."I can see Russia from my house!" :-)

And by the way...I am SOOO excited for The Office tonight!!!!!

Sidewalk Excitement

Kaylynn drew a bunch of pictures today. (She instructed me on how to label them.) Here's my favorite one:

My happy little man...

...is 8 weeks lold already!!!

Latest news...

Well, we sure have been busy lately...circus last Thursday was great! Kaylynn said her favorite part was the zebras. Then a few minutes later her favorite part was the horses. I think she liked it all. Her favorite thing to say when you ask her if she saw elephants is, "Yeah. They were standing on their nose. Silly elephants!"

Next stop was apple picking on Saturday. We made the tail end of Honeycrisps and also got some Golden Supremes for baking and making applesauce. Good thing we had Kaylynn, because most of the trees were very picked over...the only ones left were the ones no 1 person could reach alone! Nate lifted Kaylynn up to get them. She thought it was the best job ever!!! Then we went to eat at the little restaurant where we took Julie & Dan during the "MI Monsoon" a few weekends ago. Mmmmm....veggie sandwich.....Mmmmm...apple dumpling...soooo delicious!!!

And the latest breaking news.....drumroll, please......I am officially a stay-at-home mama. Yup, I decided not to go back to work at the bank. It's just not worth working full time at a job I'm not sure I'll like to earn a couple hundred dollars each month after paying for 2 kids in daycare. Yeah. And that's pretty much it. :-)

Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to Holli & Tony!!!!
(They got married in Italy 1 year ago today!!)

Fireplace & Park Fun!

Over Labor Day weekend, Nate installed our fireplace. :-) We've only had it in our garage since January. :-) We still need to build the mantle...and by "we" I really mean Nate!!

Yesterday I decided to take the gooneybirds to the park. I figured I'd walk there for some exercise...it was quite the walk. It took us almost 1.5 hours! :-) One of the closer roads was closed, so we had to go quite the ways around it. Nevertheless, it was great exercise for Mama, and Kaylynn got a good nap in for half the trip! Kolton, on the other hand, slept the whole time!

Michigan's Adventure

Yesterday we went to Michigan's Adventure for Nate's work picnic. Kaylynn had a great time riding tons of rides. One of her favorites was the log ride which had a "big hill" and lots of water. :-) She rode it twice with her Daddy!

Kolton also had a great time...he slept almost the whole time. Highlights for him were riding the ferris wheel and the train. :-)

Little man has been sleeping through the night the past few nights! Yeah! :-)

Kaylynn got a little camera for her birthday, and it has some funny features. Here's some examples of what it can do. :-) Enjoy!

Sleep Revisited

Yeah, so sleeping through the night must have been a little joke Kolton played on me...last night he was up at the usual time (2:30 a.m.) again. I can't really complain, though. He only ever wakes up once. :-)

Sleep is an amazing thing!

It's amazing...Kolton slept last night from 10ish to 5 a.m.!!! Amazing. Super nice since I was up until midnight making Kaylynn some birthday treats to take to daycare today. The little girl turned 3 yesterday...I can't believe it!

She moved up to the "Blue Room" at school and today was her first day there. She was reunited with her friend, Regan, who moved up to Blue Room a few months ago. Her teacher said they were running around the playground holding hands. :-) She must have had a busy day at school, because she almost fell asleep on the 10 minute ride home...I turned around and saw her dozing off, and she promptly leaned forward a little bit and said very seriously, "Abigail got chocolate on her shirt." Must have been from her cupcakes...who knows where kids get this stuff from. :-)

One of her birthday presents we got her was a pretend medical kit. Here she is "checking out" Buddy. You will notice the band aid on his arm from where he got a few shots...and she is taking his blood pressure. What a good little doctor! :-)
