Fall Fun '13

We had a pretty busy autumn that was filled with family, friends, and a whole lotta fun!  Here's a look at this past fall as seen through my camera...  :)

Enjoying a night out at Ashley's with John and Meredith... :)

Ashley's has an outdoor beer garden that we spent quite a bit of time at this fall. 

We took in a local high school football game...

I got into the fall spirit by baking lots of pumpkin flavored goodies... YUM! :)

We visited a pumpkin patch. :)

Corn mazes = So. much. fun. :)

We met up with Kory one Friday night to take in a local corn maze...

Trying to find our way out! :)

Vander provided us of hours upon hours of adorable poses! ;)

We headed to Northville to experience the delicious cider and famous spiced donuts from Parmenter's  Cider Mill... YUM! :)

We spent a day exploring the Heidelberg Project in downtown Detroit. :)

Pre-birthday drinks at Na-Tah-Ka with my sister!
More on celebrating my birthday with my sister in another post! :)

Halloween shopping with my dad and Kaden...
Love their new look! :)

Enjoying the fall colors from the coziness of our living room. :)

And, yet, another adorable pose from Vander. :) 

We spent an afternoon enjoying the fall colors at Maybury park...  

... so pretty! :)

Family photo time! :)

So cute! :)

Vander loved to chase all the colorful leaves! :)

I celebrated my birthday up north with my family... So fun! :)

Jason and Brian were comparing their beards... Dorks! :)

A few of my favorite guys. ;)

Enjoying some fun times and lots of laughs with our gym buddies! :)

Dave didn't want to be outdone! :)

Let's Go, Tigers!!

We scored some pretty sweet tickets to watch the Tigers play back in September!  Brian's company purchases season tickets every year, and the employees are allowed to put their names into a drawing for the tickets throughout the season.  Brian put his name into the lottery at the beginning of the season, not really expecting to gain anything from it, but we thought we'd give it a shot.  And, it's a good thing we did, because one day in September, Brian received a phone call from his HR department telling him that he'd won the tickets of the following day's game... Hooray! :)

We were both quite excited by the news, considering that these aren't just your average Tigers tickets.... Nope, these are box seat tickets with an excellent view of the game!!  And, let me tell you, they did not disappoint!!  I'd have to say that it was, by far, the best game I've ever been too! :)  Unfortunately, the Tigers couldn't pull off a win that night, but considering how awesome our seats were, we didn't even mind! :)

Look at that view!

Why, hello, nice comfy chairs! :)
Upon our arrival in our section, we were ushered down to our seats, and the usher literally wiped them off for us before we sat down... Needless to say, we felt pretty special! :)

Brian and Haiko enjoying the game!

Our German friends, Haiko and Yvonne, enjoying their first American baseball game! :)

Livin' the life! ;)

The whole gang!
