We decided to still go apple picking on Saturday. We knew Grandma would want us to be together especially doing something she loved. We braved the cold weather and headed out for a short time after the boys' naps. Due to the short time frame, we didn't take many good pictures.

Didn't take a family picture :(

Wagon ride

Running through the field with Uncle Tim

Cutest Pumpkin for sale :)

We went ArtPrizing downtown last night. Colin had a fantastic time seeing the art and hearing listening to the musicians. It was great seeing downtown so vibrant. I can't wait to get back down there and see more.

1. The beautiful weather the past few days

2. All of our fall shows are starting back up ... and DVR enable us to watch all of said shows

3. My new hair-do. It's shorter, darker, and "berry berry berry perdy Mommy"

4. The hilarious things that come out of Colin's mouth lately

5. My 3 day weekend coming up!

Tonight Alexander celebrated his first birthday party a few days shy of his real birthday.
Birthday cakes made by Merridith, my mom, Janna, and Leah while I mostly played with the kiddos. {Don't the monkey cupcakes look familiar? :) }

Alexander's Happy Birthday Cupcake

Pickin his nose. Perhaps trying to dig out some cake :)

Gotta sneak in some pictures of my lil guy

Ethan and Colin playing soccer

I love that silly sweet face

Hope you had a great birthday party Alexander and Happy Birthday Janna.

Monday was Mike's 34th Birthday. We ended up cancelling Chicago last minute and headed out to Grand Haven for the evening.

One of my favorites from the day

Not a great picture but put up because when did my little boy get so big?

Mike made me put this picture up.

We thought we'd try these pictures again. Still didn't get a great picture
