Lilly's First Tiger's Game

We took Lilly to her first Tiger's game this week. We were all really excited to go, Ryan and I hadn't been to a game in forever! Of course, the weather was ugly... it was rainy and chilly. But, we geared up and went down town. We met Ryan's work people there. His company provided dinner and our tickets. We got there around 5ish, because we knew we wouldn't be staying for the whole game. Lilly loved riding the carousel. We have pictures, but they aren't great. She loved watching the guys get the field ready and enjoyed walking around! Of course, there was some dancing in our seats too!! Ryan and I are looking forward to taking Lilly to another game next season.

Sophie's Birthday Party

Lilly and Preston so excited for all their candy!

Lilly loves going to a birthday party.... but she especially loves getting in her tutu for the party. Any excuse to dress up. She had a great time playing with her cousins and friends. Lilly is so lucky that she has so many wondeful friends. Sophie's mom, Julie and I have been friends since birth. Lilly and Sophie will be just as lucky!

Friday Fun With Daddy

Look what I'm missing when I'm at work... not fair!! At least they are having fun spending quality time together. Just about every Friday they spend together doing something fun and memorable!

Erwin Orchard

This is my favorite time of year! I love the smell of burning leaves, bon fires and yummy pumpkin spice sented candles. I especially love to decorate my house with Halloween decor. My house was decorated 2 weeks ago. I think this might be Lilly's favorite time of the year too because she absolutely LOVES trick or treating. I think she's been asking to go since last year. We decided to go to Erwin Orchards this past Saturday. We figured it would be busy, but when are they not? My sister, Ryan, Lilly and I were in one car and our friends Andrea, Dave, Grant and Avery were in the other. When we got there, we jumped right into line and waited to ride on the wagon, to the apple orchard. It was my families first time. Funny... I didn't realize that my sister and Ryan had never been and me either! It was fun. We were all eating apples and picking them at the same time. After, we had cider, doughnuts and the kids played and saw the goats. It was a perfect day to be outside doing fun, Fall activities! I can't wait for more!!

Just Being Herself

Lilly always finds a way to have fun... no matter where and what she's doing. Some of these pictures are from the summer, but thought I'd share them. I just saw them for the first time since they were on Ryan's phone. I look at these and think my gosh, Lilly is getting so big!!

Labor Day Weekend

Daddy made popcorn over the campfire! It was delicious!

Labor Day Weekend

We went to Harrisville,Michigan for Labor Day weekend. We rented a house with my parents on Lake Huron. My sister and Saylor were also up there walking distance from our house. They stayed at his grandparents. Lilly couldn't wait to play in the water.

The first day was beautiful. Perfect for hanging out at the beach. The next day, was rainy. But we still had fun!!
