T2 day 2008

It was a beautiful Saturday this weekend and after we had mowed the lawn, winterize the Searay and took The "TOM Tune" and Swifts "Party Craft" out for the year :-( we decided to go tree hunting/ two tracking. We met Swifts, Vandeburgs + Lenea, Neiboers a about 4 pm with koolers and snacks in tow to scout out dead trees in the Manistee National Forest in anticipation of our Wood Cutting weekend in October. The trees are just starting to turn color and the trails were a bit dusty but really not bad. Two tracking is not a clean "sport". We had a great time and stopped at a overlook of a swamp for a quick break. Great day and we found lots of trees. Now if we can just find them back in a few weeks!

Heres Davey making a plan for the gang, He rode sidekick with Austin Driving and Spencer in the back.

Happy Birthday to Tammy

Last Saturday night we met Tammy and Jeff Jalving in Charlevoix to celebrate Tammys birthday. We had a beautiful night and walked out on the pier to watch the sun sets with our husbands. Afterwards we walked downtown to Mainstreet pub for some cocktails and grub. We all finished the night up at the Hotel Hot tub with champange!. Awesome night with some of our awesome freinds. Maybe we should do this for everyones birthday..... I love champange!

Ten years......then and now

This past Friday, Scott and I were married 10 years.

I was looking back at the photos and couldn't believe how young the kids look. Andrea and Kate were also in the wedding and they look like teenagers!It was a beautiful day in 1998 and again in 2008.

Guess i picked a good date.! We celebrated our anniversery with a trip to the Porcupine Moutains, Munising Miners Castle and Charlevoix Pier.

We had great weather and saw some awesome color in the trees already

The last homecoming....

Hard to believe that Spencer is a senior this year! Gradution of the Class of 2009 will come sooner that we think! Zeeland East had a really early home coming this year and between the down pours of rain, we took a few pictures of Spencer and his date Chelsea. The rain stopped long enough for them to get to dinner and the dance for a great evening.

Scott and I also headed out for dinner with some friends we only see when we are home for the weekend. Next week, vacation for the week in Wisconsin and the UP. Photos to follow....

Great endings for summer......

It's hard to believe that Summer 2008 is coming to an end. We had a great weekend in Walhalla, Kate and Gary came to stay and we had so much fun I have a partial voice today. Too much laughing and singing I think at the "Vouz" The weather could not have been better and even though Scott and Kate beat the crap out of Gary and I in Euchre three games in a row ( kate was on FIRE with the cards) we totaly enjoyed hosting them for the holiday weekend. Cameo got some extra loving, Mackinaw had more people to investigate, Scott had someone to golf with and I had someone who I love dearly to hang with!! The sunning on the pontoon boats during the day and the Kareoke and dancing Saturday night was an added bonus.
