Halloween

A little late, I know. Here are a few of the things I made for dinner when we had a few friends over in October, I decided to go with a Halloween theme. Everything turned out really good! We had witches, ghosts, a pumpkin cheese ball, leg bones, spiderweb dip and goulish fingers! Yum!

Summer Pictures

Since I've been such a slacker with updating our blog...here's a little bit of our summer. Mike had his Nascar experience, which he LOVED and is STILL talking about. We did a lot of canning with fresh vegies from our garden. We did spagetti sauce, pickles, salsa, tomatoes, pickled yellow peppers and jalapenos! And in September went to Traverse City and Mackinac Island for our anniversary. We definately kept busy this summer, hence the lack of postings! I'll try to do better!

NASCAR RACE

As part of Mike's birthday surprise I got tickets to the Nascar Race 2 weeks ago at MIS. Mike didn't know where we were going, or even that we were going anywhere that weekend until we got it the car. He was SLIGHTLY upset that he didn't know what was going on, but got over that pretty quickly when he found out where we were going!! Saturday we went to the Truck Race and then Sunday we went to the Nascar race. Both were SOOO loud, i was glad I had ear plugs! We had a lot of fun, Mike LOVED it! He seems to think that I've started a great tradition! Just a few more weeks until he gets to drive a car as part of his Nascar experience I got for his birthday, he's even more excited now after he saw the race!!

BABY KITTENS!

Well we FINALLY found 2 of the baby kittens!! I'm pretty sure there's more yet. They're 5 weeks old, These 2 are pure white, except they have tan ears and tan and white striped tails, and big blue eyes. I named them Baily and Leo. As you can see Leo's missing a foot. I'm not sure what happened, if he was born that way or if there was an injury! I'll admit they're not the CUTEST kittens I've ever seen, but they're still cute because they're little furballs! I was hoping for some more color on them, but oh well!

A few updates:
- my cat did have kittens, about 3 weeks ago, but we haven't been able to find them =( Either she didn't take care of them, or she's hidden them too well! If they are around hopefully she'll bring them around soon!
- the garden looks great!! I have pictures, I'll post later.
-Mike turned 30 yesterday!! I had a surprise party on may 9th, I will post pictures soon, for now just look at Kelly's blog (she's way better at updating than I am!) I got him a Nascar experience where he gets to drive a car around Michigan International Speedway - so he's SOO excited for that- it won't be until July 25th though, so he has a LONG wait!
-We're leaving today for Silver lake for the Holiday weekend, I will post all my picutres when we get back, have a great weekend!

Spring is here!

Week #1 of our Garden! We've moved it and made it bigger and better! We still need to finish the rest of the fence around it, but I've got my snap peas planted (a little late) and can't wait to get the rest of it started!





Some more exciting Spring news: we're expecting.....!!!









KITTENS!!! Yep, Macie my cute little cat is pregnant!! I'm pretty excited, and as you can imagine, Mike is THRILLED! =) I think she's probably due in May sometime. Here's a few pictures of my Big Fat Cat! I'm hopeing that she has them in her little house that you see in the picture rather than in the woods where they'll probably get eaten by some crazy animals. Don't worry I'll post pictures of the kittens when they're born!

MEXICO!
















Here's some pictures from our trip to Mexico! We had a great time, it was beautiful sunny and warm everyday, no rain. We didn't do a lot except relax. I read 4 books and I think Mike read about 4 magazines (easy ones with lots of pictures) =) The beach was great, we walked about an hour each morning, we took bike rides around the area and went to go see the dolfins one morning. We went into town one day to go shopping and out for dinner to PiPi's, they had awesome food, great margaitas and even better guacamole, mmm so yummy! You can see what Mike did most of the week - one picture he's in line at the bar, and the other he's sleeping on the beach! As you can see from the picture of us at PiPi's, I did burn a little bit (it was actually quite a bit worse the first day), so I had to spend a couple days in the shade after that - oh well!

Your Husband might be a Hillbilly if....

#1.) This is the truck he drives to plow your drive way....
2.) This is what happens while he's plowing... (don't forget to imagine a huge strip of OIL all the way up the drive way....)
3.) He gets BOTH trucks stuck in the drive way at the same time while trying to plow the driveway....=) Here's video to prove it!
