The Lions finally have a Victory!!

On Sept. 27th, Al, Pat , Ryan and I traveled to Detroit to watch the Lions play the Redskins. Mark and Andrea hosted  tailgating for us. Mark makes a mean BBQ sandwich. Thanks Andrea for having veggies for us too.

Ready to watch the Lions win one!

They Did it!!! Lions win 19-14 over the Redskins.

If we would have waited longer we could have seen Tom Cruise. I saw him on the Mega tron. On the drive home, we saw Tom Izzo (Men's Basketball Coach for MSU)

 

Our new family member

Ryan did all the leg work and found a new Golden puppy for our family. We picked her up from the breeder on Oct. 22. We all got to make then drive, since Mt. Pleasant schools were closed due to the flu for 3 days.
Maizy (Maize and Blue, U of M colors) weighs 10 lbs and is 7 weeks old. She barked the first hour in her crate and then quited down for the rest of the ride home. Jack has been enjoying her (for someone who didn't want a dog). He keeps carrying her. Check out Maziy's blog at http://ourdogmaizy.blogspot.com/

Papa's Visit

The week of Sept. 9th thru the 15th Papa came to vist us from Georgia. Tyler and I picked him up at the airport. Tyler loved watching the planes and going up and down the escalator. Thursday, we went to Midland, since the airline lost Papa's phone charger.

Friday, Jack had a two hr school delay due to fog of all things. We decided to travel up to Mackinaw City and the U.P. All the boys enjoyed skipping rocks in the water. We had lunch at Darrow's, ice cream and of course stopped in the toy store.

Saturday, Papa and I took Jack to swimming lessons and came home for cake. That afternoon, Papa, Tyler and I went to Midland to run a few errands. We also went to the mall, so Tyler could play with the Thomas the Train table at Barnes & Noble.

Sunday we went to Comerica for Brunch and then watch the Tigers beat the Blue Jays. I think Jack and I spent most of the time in line waiting for the Carosel.

Tyler staying up late watching formula 1 racing with Papy.

Jack testing out his new skate board from Papy & Grammy Starr.
Tuesday, stopped at the Cracker Barrel for breakfast. Tyler really liked the pancake "sauce". Then it was time to take Papy back to the airport.
