Pudding and Christmas Spirit

This past week we have just been doing a lot of hanging out, going swimming at the YMCA, attending multiple baby showers and enjoying the moments we have together as a family. Evelyn loves chocolate pudding and she insisted in feeding herself so we let her have it with the spoon. She was in Heaven.



She just really can't get enough.
Friday night we attended the Silver Bells Parade Downtown. It is fun to hear the Christmas music and see all the lights and get in the mood for the holidays. Now we are just looking forward to the yummy food Thanksgiving has to bring next week.

Michigan vs Purdue

Kyle and I got to go to the "Big House" and see the Michigan vs. Purdue game. It was something we wanted to do before we left Michigan so we were looking forward to it.
There were so many people, over 108,000, to be exact. We could hardly fit on our seats but it was a fun experience.

Purdue's band has the largest drum in the world, it was cool to see it and it was really loud when they would play it.

It was fun to spend the day with each other, and it was a beautiful day to be outside. Michigan ended up losing but we weren't too disappointed since we were kind of cheering for Purdue. Thanks hun for a fun day together.

A Full and Fun Halloween!

So we had a very fun and full Halloween with lots of activities to keep us busy. This Halloween Evelyn was a very cute Cowgirl. With the costume she had a darling dress, cute chaps to wear, a pink cowgirl hat and some oh so cute pink boots to wear that I bought for her. Well as you can see in the following picture she wanted NOTHING to do with the chaps, hat or boots, I mean don't even bring them close to her or she will literally have a meltdown. But I have to say she looked cute anyway. Also forget about getting a cute posed, set up picture. This girl has no time for anybody so if she looks you better click that camera.


Wednesday we headed downtown for the Halloween activity #1. It was a lot of fun. Evelyn loved running around, seeing all the costumes and eating candy. She couldn't quite figure out this tall guy. The free pumpkin donuts and cider were also very delicious and worth eating.

Thursday was activities #2, 3 and 4. Thursday morning was Halloween themed playgroup. It was great to see all the little kids from the ward dressed up. We ate yummy treats, played a fun bingo game, listened to some Halloween stories and ran around in circles in the gym. We headed home for a long nap and then got dressed again and headed to the outdoor mall for some more fun and candy. Evelyn had a great time once again running around, dancing to the music playing and hanging with her friend Bauer. Later we painted one of our pumpkins and Evelyn sure had fun with the paintbrush.


Friday we took a little break from Halloween, but Kyle and I got to get away and go see Michael Jackson. It was awesome, Michael Jackson really is such a genius when it comes to music and performance. I highly recommend all to see it. Saturday night was the best and Halloween activity #5. We headed over to the Boardmans for a fun Halloween party. There was a lot of delicious food and awesome costumes by everyone. My personal favorites were the Boardmans dressed as the Berenstain Bears and the Martins as the Pillsbury dough boy and girl. We played fun games and enjoyed visiting with all our friends. It was a late night but great memories.

Evelyn found some sunglasses she just couldn't resist putting on.

This is the only pose I could get of Evelyn by the finished project of the painted pumpkin.
And here are the infamous boots I really wanted Evelyn to wear, but don't they just look horrifying I mean why would you not have a meltdown to put these things on. Guess they'll be heading back to the store.
Well it was a fun week and now we will just be trying to get off our sugar high for the next few days.
