Christmas Party

That brings us up to this weekend. Saturday Dave and I enjoyed ourselves at Noto's for my annual work holiday party. It is always a good time and the food is excellent. Dancing around and getting crazy with co-workers has never really been my thing and I know it is not Dave's thing so we stay for a while and then usually move on to another holiday party. This year the Mayweather Hatton fight was on both of our minds so we ended up at the Hagers new house. we are so excited to have them in Grand Rapids instead of over in Lowell. The house is lovely and it sounds like everything ended up working out with selling their place and stuff like that. We all know how stressful selling in Michigan is right now. So happy to have seen you again on Saturday, Hagers, and Thank you for letting us watch the fight!
Dave and I have Monday off this week, so we have a big day planned....little Home Depot, maybe Bed Bath and Beyond we'll see if we have time, LOL!!!

Happy Birthday Nate!

I did not get any grat pictures of the night but here is Dave and Jud crouched down waiting to spring up and say, "Surprise!" It was for Nate Armstrong's surprise 30th birthday party. His dad also turned 60 so it was an extra special year for those guys!





Good job honey on telling your story about Nate. I thought it was
really funny!

Time for my Baby!

OK I haven't posted any pictures of Noodle on this blog in a while. That doesn't mean I don't have a whole camera full of pictures of this diva dog. I have been posting her pictures at posted@woodtv.com. She has been on the news three times! I'm not sure if the producers have figured it out yet but I love it when I am doing a show and she pops up right before we go to break. This is santa poodle and we walked in the Grand Rapids Santa parade together and gave out t-shirts. We loved it.
This is me and Sue at the Grand Rapids parade.












A few of us from work decorated the skylink truck for the Holland parade. It was cold on top of that truck!







The truck looked good when we were done. I shouls say that is dedication to your job. I think I need a promotion, LOL!

Owen's Baptism

Our nephew Owen got baptised and he was so good. He did not even cry. Actually he tried to play in the water bowl as the priest was blessing him. He is such a happy baby and Marissa told me the other day that he took his first steps. It is hard to believe that he is going to be one in just a short time. I believe he was born about a week before my wedding. Well, here are a few cute pictures.

Marissa and Owen stopped over the other day and Dave took these pictures because I was not home from work yet. I get bummed when I miss Owen's visits so i am so glad when Dave has a few pictures for me when I get home.

We love you Owen! Come over anytime.

I"m Sorry Mrs. Jackson, we are for real!

Tom's sister Jackie got married on Nov. 2 and the sweetest flower girl let me take this awesome picture...thanks Ruby I love this picture!




The wedding really kicked into gear when the dancing started. Everyone was having a great time. Congratulations to the Jacksons!

Chicago Baby!

Sorry I have been slacking in my posts. Late October the girls and I went to Chicago to do a little "shopping". We did not get very much shopping done. More partying and having fun. Thanks for the great time, Andrea, Kelly and Jessica, we should do it every year!

Class of '97

David's 10 year class reunion was on Saturday. It was at the B.O.B. and we all had fun.

Pumpkin Dog

Noodle is going to be a pumpkin for Halloween. She'll get used to the costume...right?!?!

We Love you Owen!

Owen came over and Dave and I got some great aunt Steph and Uncle Dave time. He is the best baby.








Owen wanted to do work just like Uncle Dave so we gave him his own computer to play on.



















The three sweetest ever!!! Come back and visit us soon Owen!!

Congratulations Jud and Lindsey

The following weekend after Nate and Amanda's wedding we were on the road to Mackinac Island because Dave was in Jud and Lindsey's wedding. This was our 8th and final wedding of the summer. It was a beautiful day up there and we celebrated another beautiful wedding. Rehearsal dinner was a dinner cruise.

Check out this picture. Not bad. Colorful sky, water and the bridge.








The guys were having a great time. The oyster bar appetizers were my favorite.









Aaron, we loved hangin out for the weekend. With Aaron there are always some fun surprises.







We were very impressed with Adam's wheely skills.

Congratulations Nate & Amanda

This post is late but I have not forgotten how much fun this wedding was. Amanda was a gorgeous bride and she had every detail covered. The programs doubled as fans and everyone's names were written in frosting on the cake. All those personal touches made the whole day special.

Lots of friends and lots of fun. The dance party was on and we did not stop dancing until the DJ stopped playing music. What a great time!

Good Work Girls, See You Friday!!!

Oh ya, it is bachlorette time again. Party, Party, Party. Amanda and Nate are getting married on Friday August 31st but the Saturday before that we up to no good...but in a good way.

Kristen was not drinking due to the fact that the little one in her tummy is not of age, but I still wanted her to partake in the shots. Those pudding shots were on the money!!!





Boogie Nights!!









We all wore little tiaras out to the bar. I think we were suppose to keep track of one another by spotting the tiara from across the room.





Cute Sarah.

Lundberg Family Vacation

The whole fam damily went to Manistee and went out on the lake all day. We fished and ate lunch and had a really good time. Thank you Ma and Pa Lundberg for organizing a great family vacation. Of course, Owen was a perfect angel, we love you Owen!
