Damn Vehicles!!!

So yesterday we were on our way to Mike's moms house for a great day filled with lots of fun! Then the van started to act up on the way over there and we knew it was the transmission again. When we first bought the van 3 1/2 years ago we had some transmission work done to it at mikes work. A few months back it acted up to but then it just went away so we went on our way too! So we hung out at Mike's moms for a few hours then he took the van for a drive and said now its fine. So we headed home around 10:30 last night going good then all of a sudden it acted up again. So now we knew it had to be fixed. Mike drove it took work this morning and it drove fine but the check engine light was still on so as soon as he got to work his mechanic hooked it up to the scanner and sure enough transmisson. So mike called me at his morning break to let me know and i said it had to be fixed he gave me and estimate and I said good thing we didnt go buy tires like we were going to. Then I talked to mike on his lunch break and he said well the mechanic said now its going to cost a few hundred more then what they said the first time, Crap!! With the Holiday coming up who knows when it will be done. So mike will have a loner car tonight hopefully then we are renting one Wednesday to Friday or Saturday. We were suppossed to take the van to Detroit and we dont want to take the truck, way to much gas, so we will have a nice car to bring, the only bad thing is there are no Convertables left :( So that is how my lovely week has begun, hopefully it cant get any worse.

It's the Weekend

So the week is over and I cannot believe that June is almost done! Tonight we may be going over to the Hudsonville Fairgrounds for the offroad derby! Tomorrow is a Big Day, we are having a good bye or good luck or whatever you want to call it party for Jeremy and Cathy and their family. They are leaving on July 10 to move to Texas :( Jeremy has taken a Job transfer there and we are sad to se them leave. Good Luck and God Bless your Family!!

Happy Fathers Day!

So we had a great weekend. Yesterday was mikes bday and we went to the tigers game! they won 12-7! we hit the oulet mall on the way home and then went out for dinner. Today we woke up and got the seadoos running then went out to gun lake to see mikes dad and go riding. The rain held off for us and it ended up being nice out. we all rode until we got tired and then headed home! I will post tigers picture later. Happy Fathers Day Everyone!

Check out my Slide Show!

bella's new dew!

well today was the day that bella had to go in for grooming, she was so matted and tangley that there was no choice but to shave her, i felt horrible. I almost cried when i went to pick her up today. I felt so bad. They say it was probably because we made her wear a shirt for like 3 or 4 days to cover her stitches and the hair all rubbed and got matted. I felt bad so she will never where a shirt again. She looks so small and skinny now. I felt like everyone was laughing at her so i carried her out of petsmart so people couldnt see her. Sorry Bella.

New Pictures

hey everyone, hope all are doing well and survived the huge storms we had. We didn't do a whole lot this weekend. Mike was in Potterville playing softball and it got canceled as they were playing for their postions first through fourth. Aj had a game and lost to a team they should not have lost to. Then Aj and I spent the afternoon at the mall. Sunday we had to help get the water out of mikes grandma's basement then at lunch at mikes moms house. we took their mower and roller home to roll our hard then the rain came again. It didnt rain long and we got the yard rolled. I have a Picture of the moth we let go. It is called a Cecropia Moth, north america's largest moth which it was. It took awhile before it flew away then went to the neighbors and sat in their tree. I went online to read about it again and it said they fly at night so they would explain why it didnt fly right away and then sat in their tree for hours. How could I forget to tell all, Aj got his haircut now that he has been waiting all year for. He has a mohawk, and a blue one(only colored gel stuff, washes out). Hope everyone has a great week!

Hope Everyone Had A Great Weekend

hello all, the weekend is coming to an end. We have accomplished many things. From our to do list we installed new lights in hallway, breezeway, doorways, we also finished the sink plumbing downstairs and hung the mirror up down there, we hung aj's pictures on his wall finally, we finished the railing on the deck, picked up the seadoos and a few other odd and ends. Saturday Aj won his baseball game! In the evening, jeremy(mikes brother) and his wife Cathy and their daughter Mackenzie cam over. We grilled out and just hung out, I can also say I think the guys had a little to much to drink(mike...). Sunday we finished more of our list and went out to lucnh at Fridays, yummy! And Aj's caterpillar that we caught last year just emereged from the cacoon today. It is north america's largest moth its like 5 or 6 inches. I will post those later, right now I have a picture of what it looked like when we got it as a caterpillar. Well I need to get to bed so Have a Great Week everyone!!
