Loosing teeth

My Damian has lost TWO TEETH!! I can hardly believe it! The first tooth he lost, he actually LOST it in the grass! Never found it, but the tooth fairy must have because he got a whole doallar!!!! The second one he lost, he was showing it to Uncle Brendan and lost that one in the grass! But I guess they found that one!!! So wow good for you Damian!! Getting those big boy teeth in!!!!

Holy weekend!!!!

(Hope thats how you spell baptism anyways)

Ah anyways, quite the eventful weekend. I had my neighbor Nicki Arens turn 30!!!! Congratulations Nicki... her family and friends had a surprise party for her at her house I believe she was surprised!!! From there off to My cousin Mark Owen and his new wife, Renee (deuce) had their wedding reception.-They got married two weeks ago in New York, they were nice enough to have a reception for the people that were unable to attend their wedding. Very fun thank you Mark and Renee and congratulations!!!!

Sunday though man that was the best! Miss Raina Sue and Lauren Christine were baptised at St. Patricks Church. My sister Katie and Brittas brother Rex are Lauren's godparents. My brother Ryan and Britta's friend Andrea are Raina's godparents. While the girls were getting baptised, I took the boys (Louie, Barrett, Damian and Cayden) outside to play because asking four boys to sit in an empty church is almost impossible so outside we went while the girls did their thing! After baptism a bunch of us headed over to Britta and Ben's house for food, cake, and fun!! Ben got these tackling bags from MSU and the boys had a RIOT!!! Gwen, Britta's neice, even got into the fun!!! The boys ran into those for hours and wrestled with eachother!! From there it was fishing time!!!! Louie caught some big fish!!! and if you notice Damian cought a tiny one!! He caught som big ones though too!! In fact, my man caught the first one!!! :) I don't have any pictures of it, but BEn did get out the Kit Kat snowmobile that he got for Barrett out and teh boys rode that around the yard. Barrett-fearless as he is, jsut took off!!! Ben, Ryan and Toph had to SPRINT to catch him before he went into the pond. Sorry, no pictures of that my camera died!!!

All in all a good weekend, however I did catch a cold so poop!!! Back to work blues with a head cold so not fun! :(

YEEEEEHAAWWWWWW!!!!

Yeah it was Eagle Days last weekend!!! But before we get to that...My lovely friend Katie Thelen (who is getting maried on Dec. 6th) had a Bridal shower this weekend. Tara Hengesbach, Lindsey Wirth, Sarah Thelen and myself put on a shower for her. A big thanks goes out to Tara for allowing us to use her home and for Lindsey and Sarah for providing food for us to eat!!!

It was a nice group of people there. Katie got lots og great stuff that she registered for- bet her and Derek can't wait to use it! Congratulations Katie can't wait for the big day!!!

Off to Eagle Days... Jenny, Katie (my sister) and I left the shower and headed off to Eagle Days-to the beer tent. Well believe it or not, that was my FIRST time ever going to the beer tent @ Eagle. And to my surprise its not a beer tent at all but a beer BARN!!! WOW! We met up with Louie (Jenny's boyfriend) and Roger (Louie's roommate). We had a good time and ran into more people as the night went on. When the beer BARN shut down, Katie and I headed over to the Eagle Inn for one beer and had mom come pick us up-THANKS SO MUCH MOM!!!

Saturday morning Katie and I woke up and headed of to MSU for tailgating. It was a noon game so it was an early tailgate! Aunt Sam and Uncle Bob had my quilt out that I made them for Christmas last year and MAN!!! I got a ton of compliments-I think people really liked it! :)
We left around 11:30am because the farm was chopping corn and we had hungry men to feed. So we made them some lunch and Katie and I took off to pick up my sewing machine from Julie (with whom I work :) ) THANKS JULIE! From there over to Heather's -my cousin now!! and helped pack up some garage sale stuff-Oh and I found my Halloween costume-yeah I can't wait until Halloween now!!! :) Packed up some garage sale things and off to Ben and Britta's for Barrett's birthday party- he turned TWO Monday Sept. 8th. He's such a big boy! The party was nice and chill. Louie, Jenny and left there and went BACK to Eagle-just couldn't get enough of it I guess!! Not a bad time, nice night and great people watching!

Sunday morning Jenny and I got home only to find that the chopping is all done and it was time to cover the pile. The family had half of it covered up by the time we got out there but by God we helped cover it with plastic and threw tires on it to keep the plastic from blowing away. Monday I woke up and thought I was having severe chest pains-come to find out it was just my chest muscles!!! They were so sore from throwing tires!!! Yeah what a farm girl huh?? :)

All in all, it was a great weekend. The only downfall of the WHOLE weekend was that Chris was home and I was home. So we didn't get to see eachother, we talked on the phone at least!! Miss you hunnie!! So until next time people, don't for get to click on the web address above to view the slideshoe of the pics from the shower, tailgating and Barrett's birthday party.

Damian's FIRST day of School

Quite a monumental day in history!!! My little guy went off to Developmental Kindergarten(DK) today, the bus picked him up at 7:30 this morning and he did great-Cayden was a little sad but I'm sure he did great! Alissa did surprisingly well, I didn't see her cry-but I was close to it when I was telling the ladies at work about it and showing them the pictures!!! :( He looked so grown up I jsut can't believe that Damian is already off to school!!! Congrats Alissa and Ryan!!! Your first child off to school! I have a call into him tonight to see how his first day went-he hasn't called back yet though!

Labor Day Weekend

My Labor Day weekend was spent in the thumb. Friday we celebrated Chris's birthday. Saturday mom, dad, Jenny, Louie and I spent the day over to Sherry and Phil's house-they live on the water of Huron bay it was beautiful!! Sunday was a day of adventrue though!! Cody, Chris and I took off on the jet skis adn headed to Charity Island, about 10 minutes from shore by jet ski-I think! we were able to get right up to the shore and walk around a bit. I took pictures of the light hosue that has been there for many years plus the hosue that its attached to. The house was recently updated and people can stay on the island in the newly renovated house!! Wouldn't that be fun??? After that we headed back to home. Our friends, Tim and Shannon Stafford came over with their son Gavon-7 months-such a chunk!!! :) We chatted with them, but the weather was tooo perfect, the water was so calm so Cody, Tim Simecki, Chris and I made our way to the boat and headed off to Tawas-across Huron bay- it took us about an hour to get there! Not a bad ride either! While over there we went to a couple of bars, looked around and ate at G's pizza-that was my favorite part!! It was the best pizza ever!!! We got back to the house around 9:00pm, we watched the sun set over the water, it was really pretty. Chris and I got back to his house, cleaned up, did some laundry then watched Nanny McPhee-funny! Then to bed. Long days on the water sure do make you tired! As for Monday, back to Sherry's we went. I laid out all from noon til 4:30pm. It was windier but still nice-had to be out there though b/c it was the last hurrah it you will for summer so live it up!!! :) I got some nice sun, we had dinner, adn around 7:00pm I took off for home-made good time too!! i had to get home for Damian's first day of school :)

Cody and Phil brought over Chris's grill that hsi parents got him-absolutely awesome!!! and Also picnic tables for us to sit on. Phil and I finished up preparing food around 5:30pm. We loaded up the 'burb and headed to Chris's house. He was golfing with Brian Simecki. My parents, Jenny and Louie were there when Brian and Chris pulled into the house by 6:10pm!!!! OH NO he was early!!! Oh well, he really didn't know what was going on until he walked to the back of the house and saw all the tables and chairs set up. I told him surprise!!!
