Go Green!

Oliver's first MSU Football game of the season! With tomorrow being the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, it brought back many memories of my time in the MSU Marching Band. Every day that week we met, played the Star Spangled Banner, and went home. I hope some day I can adequately express to my children what a tragedy like that does to you and how important it is to never forget the importance of every human life.

Besides the somber occasion, the game itself was fun and we enjoyed cheering with Sparty, eating popcorn and cotton candy :)

First Day of Preschool!

Oliver's first day of official preschool!

and Spencer too :)

Labor Day

Labor Day was nice and low-key. We stayed in Leslie and went to the night game at MSU. We also had a chance to go over to the Feazel side and have a get-together on Sunday. Oliver always loves all his time with the Golab clan :)

Conversations with Odie

Odie: (Being Obnoxious) "It's funny Mama!"
Me: "What's funny Odie?"
Odie: "Me!" (Laughing)

Waffle Farms

We just finished another lovely week at Waffle Farms Campground! We did need to run into Lansing a few times, and Spencer had a quick trip to the hospital for Bronchiolitis...but it was a great week overall! Most exciting was that the mosquito infestation that is overtaking central Michigan is somehow absent in Coldwater. It was nice to have a week outside without being covered in bites.

6 Month Check-up

Little Spencer had a great check-up! 14.5lbs...3.5lbs lighter than Oliver and the same height..26.5in!

Jumpy Jumpy!

Monster Trucks!!!

The boys went to the Monster Truck show at the Jackson County Fair! Oliver LOVES monster trucks, so we knew it would be a hit!

Before the trucks, we went around looking at all the animals. Oliver even got to pet a cow :)

Potty Training

Oliver had only one accident at preschool yesterday! I've got my fingers crossed that it stays that way! He loves wearing his big boy McQueen pull-ups!

Grandpa's 75th Birthday Celebration!

The Fam went up north to celebrate Grandpa Charlie's 75th Birthday. The weather held out for the most part and we all had a great time relaxing by the lake.

Oliver has discovered that he LOVES corn on the cob and Spencer spent several hours "wumping" in his exersaucer. Unfortunately neither one felt that sleeping was all that important.

Eating Mom's homemade chocolate butter cream frosting!

On Saturday night, we lit wish lanterns to hope for another 75 great years :)
