Halloween

Mia had a wonderful time with the Halloween tradition. Now that Halloween is over, whenever she comes up to a door she says, "Trick or Treat". She also discovered that you get candy when you say "Trick or Treat".

Here are a few pictures from Petsmart's yearly Halloween event and Halloween night when she visited our neighbors. Yes, she has two costumes...Debbie couldn't decided on one so Mia had to go through a few wardrobe change.

Mia missing her grandparents!

Trip to SD in August

Here are a few pictures from our trip to San Diego a week ago. We had a great time visiting with Lisa and her kids, Vic and Rosie. We even squeezed in a trip to the SD zoo.

And Mia had her first visit to the button bin at Rosie's shop, and she liked it!

Mia's getting so big

I sit here getting ready to head to Michigan in the morning and realized how big Mia is getting. WOW! This picture of her makes her look like a big girl.

Brad and Sean's Visit

Brad and Sean visited us all the way from Michigan, and they brought the hot weather from Michigan. I think the we reached 113 a few days while they were here. We didn't let the heat bother us though, we had a great time getting chauffeured by Brad (passed his drivers training test), turning some woodworking projects, swimming, mountain biking (Sean almost made it the whole way), rock climbing (Debbie and I think Brad is half monkey) and just visiting as a family.

It was a great time and Mia bond with her cousins Brad and Sean, and Mia officially designated them as "her boys". When she woke up, she would say, "where are the boys". Even a week later, she keeps asking for the boys.

It was fun to have them visit and we were sad to see them leave. Here are a few pictures from the fun week.

Michigan Trip - Holland / Lake Michigan

I am a bit tardy on getting this pictures posted. Debbie, Mia and I went to Michigan for a week where we rented a house in Holland and had a awesome time with our family and friends. Lots of time in the water, riding bikes, playing with cousins and visiting with friends. It was a great week.

Here's some of the highlights of the trip.
