Better update....

Ok before I go to bed tonight I thought I better update because I know some people may be yelling at me before too long for not updating.

The boys generally play well together - here is a great example of that!!

They are both walking more and are up almost all the time - Rylee is doing better with walking than Baylee but I am sure that is because of the issue with his ears. Baylee is scheduled for surgery on the 24th.

We went to a family birthday get together on Sunday - the boys enjoyed helping unwrap and play with the tissue paper!!!

Even though we couldn't play outside today, we enjoyed playing with our water toys - minus the water!!

The boys really wanted to play outside today!!!

We did get to go to daddy's softball game tonight so that was fun!!

Rylee had a GREAT time with Aunt Kathy!!!

Baylee was just laid back, enjoying his ride in the wagon!!

Hope this gives everyone their "fix" of pictures!!

Haircut

The boys got their haircut today and she decided to style it as well so they got their first experience with hairspray as well. Then we came home and had some lunch and I couldn't resist getting some pictures of the spiky new do!!! it is kind of hard to see Baylee's since his highchair has a dark background but it is pretty cute!!

Grand pictures

The Grand had a photographer available and here are some of the pictures they took - not too bad if I must say so myself!!!

Back home again in Indiana

We are back home but here are some final shots from our trip...

Here is our self portrait when we left the Grand

The boys liked the airplane they had outside of one of the gift shops - it was too small to put both of them in it at the same time but they are both having a good time in it!!!

Here is our self portrait when we left the hotel in Lansing this morning.

We stopped by to see grandma on our way home - she was very excited to see the grandbabies!!!

Ok time for laundry!!!!

Leaving today :-(

Well we will be leaving the island today - we are only driving halfway home, like we did on the way up here so the boys don't have to be in the car for 8 hours so we will be home on Friday. We have had a great time. Here are some pictures from our visit.

This one is actually from Tuesday night but it was taken after I had already posted and didn't get a chance to add it.

We went out for a walk for a while and it wore the boys out so we came back and took a nap...

Then we went for a carriage ride - the boys were funny swaying back and forth as the horses clipped and clopped.

This was a stop on the carriage at Arch Rock...

This is a horse and buggy topiary at our hotel.

On the porch after dinner last night...

Ok time to feed the boys and then pack...

First full day here...

Since I was told I HAD to post pictures everyday I wanted to make sure I got in my post for today while my two of my three boys are taking a nap.

Here are the boys ready to go out for the day, needless to say it is a little chilly here still so we had to bundle them up before we left.

I actually paid money today to go to a butterfly garden - i know that some jaws are dropping as you read that - here are a couple shots from that fun filled experience!!!!

Baylee was "lucky" enough to have a butterfly land on him - probably ended up being a traumatic event for the butterfly though because before i could get to it Baylee grabbed it - however, when I made him let go the butterfly still hung out with us throughout the visit. One almost landed on my but I started freaking out and I think I scared it!

Then we stopped and had some lunch and got a picture taken.

The tulips are very much in bloom here right now and are VERY pretty!!!

Is there anything cuter than a sleeping baby???

Ok, maybe there is something cuter, his brother watching him sleep!!!

Wow - I have perfect timing, as soon as I finished uploading that picture I turned around and Ry-guy is awake so it is time to get ready for dinner, sorry daddy you are going to have to get up now too (in case there was any wondering which other boy was asleep!!!)

Wedding and vacation fun

Here are some pictures from the wedding this weekend and then a few shots from our trip. We just got to Mackinac Island today and so far we are having a nice time but it is about 30 degrees cooler than it is at home!!

The boys helped Samantha win the dollar dance~~

Yesterday we stopped to get something to eat and then the boys were ready for more of the road trip - don't they look excited!!!!!

This morning the boys had a bottle before we hit the road...

Terry and I used to always take a "self-portrait" when we check out of a hotel - now we have two additional members of our pictures...

Waiting for the ferry to take us to the island

There is the hotel from the ferry

Daddy and Rylee on the ferry...

Here we are enjoying dinner tonight...

Here is a picture from the porch of the Grand to the bridge at sunset - just in case anyone was wondering NO I did not cross the bridge, we caught the ferry in Mackinaw City BEFORE the bridge!!!!!!!!!

Here is a family picture on the porch tonight - now it is time for bed!!
