No Better for Michigan??

Michigan didn't get any better this week. Kris is loving it - he won't admit it, but is having a hard time controlling his smile! We have tickets for the game in two weeks. I sure hope they kick Notre Dame's butt this week.

As for us here, we're having a fun week as well as last week. Last Friday, we had Max over to make cookies with us. The boys did a great job pouring things in, but they likes mashing the brown sugar around and had trouble keeping their fingers out of it. Ryan didn't want to wait for the cookies to be baked, he sat in the kitchen until I finally gave him one 20 minutes later! Then his face was covered in chocolate, as you can see.

Saturday, Ryan had his first soccer day. Him and Daddy played in the class we signed him up for. They both had a ball - literally. They played a lot of games like follow the leader and red light-green light. They kicked the ball into pylons and the net. Ryan is great at dribbling the ball, but he's working on his kicking. Daddy went out and bought him a real soccer ball to play with at home. Here are some pictures from this fun day!

Saturday night, we had a library group dinner at Rachel and Matt's house. The kids had a great time as well as the parents. Everyone commented how Ryan never stops eating - which was so true! He ate pizza, watermelon, chips (off everyone else's plates), pretzels, 2 cupcakes, 2 cookies, and some of my cake. Definately going through a growth spurt!

Kris worked outside all weekend cutting down the vine and brush in the backyard. It now looks great. Our yard is so much bigger. I finished getting pictures ready to put up and now am just waiting for the hercules hooks I ordered and Kris to put them up! Kris is now in CA again and will be back Thursday for our Toby Keith concert - my birthday present from him. I hired a babysitter for Ryan - our first of someone we don't know. I'm hoping everything works out well. Maybe we'll be able to go out more often.

Yesterday, we had a playdate here with 3 of Ryan's friends. The boys all played well together - although Ryan is still learning to share his toys - which has been difficult for him. He doesn't have a problem sharing other people's toys, just his. So inviting people over has been good for him. Ok. Better go put him down for a nap.
