Fall Fun!

WOW! I can't believe its October already!

Dirk and I have been keeping busy and doing some fun fall things back in Michigan!

Two weekends ago Dirk and I were back in Michigan for our traditional Apple Picking Saturday. We have been going apple picking for 5 years now and we love it!

Our first stop in our apple picking adventure is ALWAYS the Dutch Famers Market in Pullman! Its a cute little building with Apples and gourds and cider and donuts and so much stuff! We bought some gourds and went on our way to our next stop CRANES!

Dirk at Cranes!

YUM! They still had honeycrisp so we HAD to get some!
Dirk loves Apple picking

All of our yummy apples!

After apple picking we went to a few more little markets and got some mini gourds and some doughnuts and apple cider for Dirks family and mine! Yum!

Saturday night we headed to Artprize in Grand Rapids! It was so fun!


This is Nessie, He's in the Grand River, He was really cool!
This is class tidal wave, they were adding glass to it, and on the last days they are taking out the supports so the wave will crash over itself

Random Update!

So i haven't updated in forever so i thought now would be a good time since i don't work today!

Things here have been going great! Dirk has officially started his schooling at Notre Dame and is on his way to getting his PHD! He's keeping very busy with homework and being a TA for a class but is doing really well!

I am working at Notre Dame as well, i work in the North Dining Hall. Basically a lunch lady minus the hair net and serving the students food (there old enough to get there own!) Its been fun and hopefully i will be able to work my way into the kitchen there and start cooking instead of serving.

Since i haven't updated in a while here are some pictures of whats been going on since the last time i have updated!

Logan Had his 4th Birthday at our apartment! It was fun to have the whole family (well almost the whole family, ANNIE & JIMMY WE MISS YOU) there!
Logan got some neat batman toys this year!
OH! Dirk and i FINALLY got a bed at we love it!
Last time we went home we decided to go to Pronto Pup!
Kenzee, Logan and Dirk in the boat!

My Rings were found!

So, Dirk and I ended up going back to Holland AGAIN this weekend, but this time for a really GOOD reason! A friend of my dads found my rings in the lake! He was out in the Lake for 4 days looking for them and he found them! Dirk and I were so excited (okay mostly me) that we went home just a couple hours after we found out!

Here is a link to his post in a forum!

The Fair, The Beach and Game Night!

So last weekend Dirk and I headed back to Holland again (you would think we still live there.) The Fair was going on and we decided to go with Eric and Sara and the Kids and have some fun! Kenzee and Logan were chickens when it came to some rides, but other rides they loved. Logan loved the big slide and Mackenzee was a big fan of the Bumper cars!

This is Sara and Logan on the big slide. Logan was to little to go down on his own so either Sara or I had to take him!
Kenzee and I in the bumper cars, again i had to be with her because she is to little to be alone, but we had fun!
Isn't she the cutest!

So we had game night at my parents house Saturday night and played a four hour game of Phase 10, it was a long night of Cards and Snacks and Margaritas... This was Logan by the end of the night.
Awww tired boy!

Went to the Beach on Sunday! Had tons of fun until i ended up losing my wedding ring and engagement ring in the lake, they still haven't been found so we are going to have to replace them but here are some fun pics!

Dirk just hanging out at the beach
Awww Brother and Sister Love!
