We had a great visit this last week with Grandma & Grandpa B! They brought some awesome California weather with them so we had a little break from the cold and rain. Here are a few pictures of some of the things we did - whew, were we busy!
I think the grands had more fun playing with "Bear's" toys than he does!
Storytime with Grandpa (that's the new BYU book he brought them)
a trip to the "Big House"
tickets are hard to come by, especially for the big UMICH/Michigan State game, but we were able to find one kind soul willing to give up their ticket without charging an arm, leg & 2 kidneys!
We took the bus to campus
for a tour of the University of Michigan
and a checkup from Dr. Daddy!
This is what a classroom looks like when you're in Ortho school?
We took a drive to Dexter, MI
to the Dexter Cider Mill, rumored to have the best cider in Washtenaw county!
the mill overlooks the Huron River - the colors were so vibrant, these pictures don't do it justice
then we went down the way to Jenny's Farm Stand where the doughnuts are supposed to be the best (I actually liked Dexter's better but these were great too!)
Next was a trip to the Ann Arbor Hands-on Museum, just for the kids!
Kody's favorite spot was the water table - he was soaked, of course!
Mollie's fave was the "18months and under" room
Lastly, how could I forget all the countless hours watching football on TV!
I'm exhausted just remembering all the fun things we did!
We stayed busy the whole time, and the week went by way too fast. It was sad to say good-bye, but it was a great visit - we hope they come again soon!
It's Super Kody!
"I really don't feel like cheering today"
"Okay Mom, we're standing together - now what?"
"I know I would feel much better without this silly bow!"
"I'll save you!"
coloring a Halloween picture with Daddy
bowling with gourds
and don't forget the "knock over the cans" game!
Our friends from San Francisco - let's call them Mr. Ohio and the Canadian - came to stay with is while they interview for the Ortho program at Michigan! Of course we are hoping they both get in, it would be so much fun to have old friends move into our neighborhood!

That's right, our family has been visited by the hand, foot and mouth virus again. This time it's our little Mollie. Our poor baby has been so miserable these past few days - I hope she feels better soon! We had our home teacher come over tonight to help give her a blessing, so that will help. I just hope she sleeps tonight!
how sweet!
mommy's lipstick can be so much fun!
a new hiding place
my little boy
all grown up!
working on those teeth
just cute
the most beautiful sight in the whole world!
went to our favorite lake, where we played in the water and 
rented a boat! The kiddies had a great time getting to know their aunt a little better, and I was happy to have more help for a few days! Our neighbors had a Labor Day BBQ so of course we had to 
break out the old bounce house, Mollie was co cute on it! She sat for the longest time just being bounced up and down by the big kids (she was on the outside of course)! I think we need to get her a water bed, maybe then she would sleep. It was sad to say good-bye, but we're hoping to get Auntie B out here again for Turkey Day!
