The NEW cottage on Crooked Lake!!

I probably made the quickest trip to and from the cottage of my entire life. My mom and dad asked me to meet them at the cottage on Saturday afternoon for a tour. The new cottage is INCREDIBLE!! It is HUGE and takes up quite a bit of the lake lot. I love the floor plan and look forward to moving them in this spring(or before). I think the family will definitely enjoy going to the cottage to kick back on the large front deck. I know I can picture myself sitting in the lounge chair with a frozen drink in my hand (Weight Watchers, of course!) The view is AWESOME!! Congrats on the great looking house.

Just the boys!

Kirk2 and Kirk3 just happened to dress alike Saturday morning. I thought it was kind of funny. They thought I was just wierd. What's new right. K3 had a scrimmage in coldwater for most of the day. I stayed home and cleaned, did laundry, and grocery shopped. I also made a Thanksgiving dinner. Yummy!!

Lordy, Lordy Look who's 40!!

Ok, so that really doesn't mean much coming from someone who is almost 41! It still seemed like an appropriate title. Per Kirk's request, there was no big surprise party, just a dinner with the English's at Saucy Dog on Wednesday night. We spent Thanksgiving with his family so that was the biggest the birthday party got. Unfortunately the only good picture I got has Steven giving him moose ears. How nice?!

Football Banquet 2007

For the sake of nothing really earth shattering to report....i thought I would post the weekend wrap-up.

*K2 took Thursday and Friday off to hunt. Only saw 3 deer total and obviously none were freezer worthy so he was kind of bummed.

*He also spent Saturday morning in the Dentist with an infection in his jaw above his root canal/crown. Extremely painful....he spent the rest of the weekend on the couch hopped up on Tylenol 3 with Codiene.

*Saturday I cleaned (really, really cleaned) and did laundry. Seemed like I was more busy than that but I can't think of anything right now.

*Sunday I did the grocery shopping....went to Bunco at Misty's in Jackson (her last Bunco with the group...makes me very sad :(

*Sunday night was spent at the Football Banquet. It was kind of a bummer ending to our season so things weren't all that cheery. Hooey was there which was nice to see him back on his feet (or foot and crutches) again.

I think that I was a bear (hibernation) in my former life because I sure haven't felt like being very productive. Probably doesn't help that the back is still a little sore and seems to ache after doing too much activity. I hope that goes away soon. This week is short but busy. Kraig has a home game tonight, an away game tomorrow night, and K2 turns 40 on Thursday so we are going out to dinner on Wednesday. Good thing that Thanksgiving dinner is at Mrs. Putnam's so I don't really have to worry about getting anything else done. Hope everyone has a great relaxing holiday.

Friday night date!

Kayla was home this last weekend and she took konnor to the meet and greet the Hillsdale Chargers basketball team. Konnor thought that was really cool.....got a free t-shirt to boot. I will have to admit it was nice to have a little break from the boy too. His non-stop energy level can be draining! Thanks for giving me a break.

I've been a blogger pooper!

HOW EXCITING!!! Girls look at this new scrapbooking resort we have now!



So I haven't posted for over a week now and I need to get back on track. During K3' s and Kevin's b-day party last Sunday, I put my back out. I'm not talking about ouch....I got a booboo. But OMG it HURTS!! Can't stand up straight....can't sit on both cheeks....can't stand for more than 2 minutes....OUCH! I spent Monday on the couch with ice in my pants (yeah, Konnor decided to pick that day to stay home from school with a fever, sore throat, etc) and 2 trips to the chiropractor. Tuesday I had a sub, gave up my sub to a class that didn't have a sub, and then spent the rest of the day in sooo much pain I hated myself for giving the sub up. Tuesday after work, I had a short massage....couldn't stand to be in the lay down position too long and by Wednesday I could get almost straight. I wore my back brace and ice pack all week to work. I am still sore....but not even close to the amount of pain I was in. I did too much today and am paying now, but oh well, tomorrow is a new week.

SURPRISE!!

We had the best Surprise 16th birthday party for Kirk Friday night. He was truly surprised! I can't believe that all of those teenagers could keep a secret that well. Grandma Linda made a yummy chocolate cake and a cool banner. The kids hung out for a while....tried to stay warm around the bonfire....at watched Channel 19 (local station that replays the varsity football games). I think that a fun time was had by all. Happy 16th (November 5th)
