I forgot one of the funniest ones!!! Kimberly and Olivia came over one night to visit. While the Mommies were enjoying their Chinese take-out, we let the babies play with the MCC. For some reason, Olivia started crying, which startled MJ and they both started screaming!! We couldn't help but laugh at how cute their trauma was!!

GO MICHIGAN beat Notre Dame today!!!!! =)

What can I get into next??

Too sweet! =)

Always on the move!! He likes to take his toys and push or throw them and then chase after them.

Trying to catch the football that Daddy just threw at him!

We took Ethan, Ayden, & Mackinley outside on one of these last few warm afternoons. They had a good time!! (Ethan is a new little boy I've started watching for a little while because his normal babysitter broke her hip!)

Ayden is Mr. Independant. He kept running off to a section of the yard by himself! Jason even had to chase him out of the neighbor's yard at one point! LOL!!

Ethan's getting ready to blow some bubbles and MJ is smiling at...I don't know what! LOL! Just smiling!

Ayden giggling at MJ

Ayden is getting ready to slide down...while Mackinley beats on the slide! LOL

Look, Mom! No hands!!

Peek-a-Boo!!!!

Ayden liked it when Jason blew the bubbles at him!!!

Another bubble shot

I think he's staring at the lilac bush in this one! LOL

Ok, Jason and I find this one hilarious. Maybe none of you will...but it makes us laugh a lot whenever we look at it. This is Mackinley's sock after he stepped on it with his other foot, removing the sock but keeping it intact just like it was still on his little foot!!!! It's standing up on the floor!!

I love a baby in just a diaper!!! So cute!

Mackinley and I were goofing around one night and I was trying to get a cute picture of us together...not easy to do with one hand while he's squirming out of the other hand!! Got some pretty funny pictures out of it, though!

Caught us both laughing in this one!!

This one CRACKS ME UP!!! The look on his face looks like he's getting smashed...but he wasn't, I promise!!!

Hanging out with Daddy during Daddy's supper break

Just having some fun!

Mackinley got to wear a new sweatshirt for the first time last week. He looked so cozy!!!

He started to cough right when the camera took this one!!!

Here's another bath picture....this smile was way too cute and contagious not to share! =)

Our little angel!!!! MJ is learning how to clap...and it's the most adorable thing ever!!!

Sorry for the delay in updating the blog...just been busy!!! There are LOTS of new pictures, now, though so enjoy!!! =)

Happy play time before bed!!! (Aren't his new jammies the cutest??)

Mommy needs to paint her toenails!!!

Daddy, Kaeleigh, and MJ (and Ayden in the background!!) horsing around on the floor!

What a beautiful smile!!!

Another pretty smile!!! (Mom..she's wearing the onesie you brought home from Hayward for her LAST year!!! Thought you'd be happy to know it still fits!)

Daddy had to make sure MJ had his football out and ready to play with on Football Sunday (yes, of course I capitalized that on PURPOSE).

Mackinley was happy to oblige!!

Took a few pictures one evening while Jason was home for his supper break. MJ gets SOOOO excited when Daddy comes home for break. He lights up and immediately crawls over and climbs up Daddy's leg.

Looks at Daddy...

...and then at Mommy

Daddy that is NOT a nice thing to do to Mommy!!!

Peek-a-Boo is Mackinley's favorite game right now!! He'll even hold the towel up in front of his face then pull it down so you can say "PEEK-A-BOO"!!! Or...."where's Mackinley?? where did he go??" then he brings it down..."THERE HE IS!!!!" He laughs and laughs

This one I love because of the look of concentration on his little face!

Bath time for the Mackinley man!!!

Don't worry....we're well within arms' reach!! =)

If you click on this one and look closely...you can see his two teeth!!

It's one of his favorite things!!!

On Saturday, September 9, Jason played 3 softball games. The teams were the cops and firemen (cutely named "Guns & Hoses"....notice their t-shirts) VS the city utility workers. The Guns & Hoses lost, but everyone had a great time. The games were to benefit the little girl in front who is helping Chris Broderick "hold up" the HUGE trophy they won for second place! (Blow up the picture and MAYBE you can see it!!)

Mackinley on the slide with Shaylee Turmail (her parents, Scott & Shelley, are friends of ours), Abby Broderick (see the next photo), and some boy I don't know! LOL

This is Abby Broderick. Her daddy works on the BPD with Jason. She's a sweetie and quite a HOOT!!!! She has 12 children....just ask her, she'll tell you all about them!

Abby is quite the cute little ham for the camera!!

Mackinley had fun playing in the little rocks! Surprisingly, none went in his mouth!!!

He always prefers to be standing!!!

Mommy what are these things you continue to put on my feet??? (those are MJ's first real shoes and he doesn't always know what to think of them!)
