Fall Trip

We turned Dayton around before our trip since he will be one next week and so he could see what we see when riding. For the most part he really likes it, but he gets tired of being "stuck" anywhere for too long, he'd much rather be up and on the move!
Checking to see if Kylah is looking at him.
"Look, I can see out!!"
Lighthouse in Holland, MI
We all had our pictures made in the giant wooden shoes in Holland, MI.
We went to the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids, MI. It would have been a bit better a few weeks ago when all the animals were there. Most of them had gone south for the winter...
Kylah with her favorite animal, the flamingo!
Kylah and Derek at the pool.
Dayton kept himself entertained part of the time playing peek-a-boo!

9-11

Playing of the bagpipes.
Getting ready to go!
The first trip up...they went up 3 1/2 times to equal the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. There were also 343 guys who participated that equaled the number of fire fighters that lost their lives 9 years ago today.
Right after finishing.
Group 4 (minus one guy)
The Pinnacle Building has a panoramic view of downtown Nashville on the 22nd floor. The guys ended the 110 stories on this floor.

A Day at the Lake

Yesterday we went to the lake with Grandma and Pop Pop. It ended up being a very nice day - cloudy and a bit cool!
Dayton on his first boat ride...
Dayton driving the boat - he was really excited about this part of the trip!
Playing peek-a-boo with his hat. I guess if you won't wear your hat, that is the next best thing to do with it!
Fish #1
Looking at the fish in the live well.
Kylah driving the boat.
Reeling in another one!
Kylah with the second fish that was caught - a crappie that was too small. She was sad that we couldn't keep it in the live well with her other fish.
Dayton sleeping after a "hard" day fishing...lol

11 Months, Tomorrow

I can hardly believe that my little man will be 1 year old in one month!! This year has gone by way too quickly! Here are a few recent pictures of the almost birthday boy!
I know he has his eyes closed, but I love that I can see all 4 of those top teeth (which, by the way, he got all at one time - that was a hard week or so!) Kylah changed Dayton's diaper for me one day last week, she did good except for the one side that wasn't really attached very well...lol.
Coming out of Kylah's Rose Petal Cottage. That is one of his favorite places to play! (One day he will not like this picture!)
Splashing around at the water park.
Visiting daddy at the fire station last week.
Eating pizza for supper last night, he had it in his hair, his eyes and his ears!
