Basketball playoffs...

We did some road tripping this weekend with the kids to watch the Zeeland Chix Mens basketball team play at the MSU's Breslin Center for the Regional Championship ( Won Friday night! -YEAH). Friday Spencer, Scott and I had seats in the upper level mid court, but then Saturday night Abbey, Rob, Spencer , Scott and I had seats on the floor to watch the state finals. Spencer scored a seat in the student section to watch the game with his pals.

Zeeland 's Cory Van Dussen played excellant both nights and it was so much fun to watch the team beat Bridgeport but then heartbreaking to see them Loose on Saturday night to Power from Flint..

Happy Dog Days!

The Reverse Oreo Team! Gage, Dakota and Cameo at Uncle DJ and Aunt Suzzanes house. Big fun!

Cameo had a great weekend, Walk in the woods with Neighbor guy Bill on Friday, Hang with Mom Friday night, Running with her Cousins at Uncle DJ's house ( see video) and then a bath at the Chow Hound doggie Bath- on Sunday. What a deal that is , Any of you dog Lovers need to take advantage of that whole set up! Much better than using your own tub and towels!

Kick back at the cottage...

Abbey and her dad at the cottage, We're so glad she enjoys it there and knows she is welcome with her freinds any time. That's one of the big reasons we built our own , to enjoy it with the kids!

We took a quick trip to the cottage this weekend to check on things and retrieve some summer apparrel for our upcomming spring break trip. YEAH! Abbey & Rob and their friends Curtis and Kate came up and crashed at our place after winning at the Casino. Sunday AM was a lazy morning for all Including Cameo! We watched the movie Hitch while Scott and Abbey made breakfast and then all headed home late afternoon. I think we all wanted to stay for a few more days and just kick back but alas, back to the reality of Work and College.. Hopefully next weekend we can bring the tweeked out Geo Tracker up and have some more fun!

Summer can' t come soon enough for all of us!

Valentines in the Woods

We headed north this weekend to kick back with the gang. It was a much needed goof off day for all of us. We did our ususal thing on Friday night at the Oasis, celebrating Londi's birthday with cupcake "shots" provided by Tammy. It was great fun to stuff them in our mouths in one bite! ( and they were yummy too, I can remember that last time I ate a cupcake, as they are on my no no list for allergies!) Saturday afternoon we yanked all the four wheel drives out of the snow banks or unloaded them off the trailers and headed out on the trails two tracking. It was a Great day to be outside! Since our Tracker has not been "Tweaked" yet, Scott and I were continually being pulled out by Tom or JJ. The day just added to our spring fevers!!

Pouting Pup

It not very common to have a traveling Cat but to have a traveling Cat with a dog is always interesting... Cameo always sits in the back and typically Mac sits on her "Kitten Car Seat" but some time she decides to roam around.

You can tell by this photo, Cameo does not like to share her space in the truck. What a spoiled girl she is! Guess this is our answer about getting another dog any time soon!! NOT!

Mackinaw in her " kitten car seat"

Rev it up!!!

It was another wonderful weekend at the cottage, a bit cold and snowy but fun. Since one of our snowmobiles is " acting Up" we decided to upgrade and purchased a 2005 Ski Do Rev!. ( red one in photo) Scott was really excited and picked it up on the way up north on Wednesday night. Saturday through the snow and the cold we rode most of the day with 10 sleds and had a great time. The Gang all stopped at Twin Creek for lunch and we were back about dark......

Mackinaw seem to be really enjoying the snow fall out side and the woodstove this weekend. By choice she spent most of the weekend in and out of this box that we use to bring fire wood in from out back. It sits right in front of the woodstove so it is always toasty warm. This is on spoiled cat.....

Good thing she is a good road Tripper! She only cries on the way home on occasion as she doensn't want to leave the cottage! ( us too, but we don't cry).

Winter Wonderland ( aka Walhalla)

It was a beautiful weekend up north( is there such a thing as a bad weekend up north?) Scott, Cameo, Mackinaw and I were up Friday night and as usual had dinner at the "O" with all the locals. It was a bit cold in the cottage but thanks to our trusty wood stove and furnace it was toasty in no time! Saturday am Scott worked at a cottage on Big Star Lake , while I sorted through DVL Tax stuff. By mid afternoon we were out riding the trails and they were awesome! As we were riding home from Nataka Tavern, a full moon was on one side of us and the sun setting on another. I couldn't help think... well in 11 weeks I'll be watch this same moon and sun sitting on a beach at Ft Myers with with Swifts! Yahoo!

Sunday the snow started up north and I took Cameo out to play in the snow. She turns in to a pup again with all the snow drifts and fluff!. Can't wait to ride with the gang next weekend!
