I have been slacking on my blog posts but things have really gotten busy now after the holidays. I know stuff is suppose to slow down but work has been really busy. Also my precious baby will be 6 months old on Feb. 2 so you can imagine she is off doing so many new things that keep me busy too. She eats food now and sits up. She takes a bath every night because she gets super messy eating her biter biscuits (for all you moms who know what those are) they are no dog treats, just have the name of a dog treat. Samantha loves all the veggies. Just recently she had the Gerber Mac'N Cheese and that was a huge hit.
We are planning a vacation to Florida so I am trying to wrap my mind around taking our entire family room on a plane. I guess they charge you per item to check so we will have to condense somehow.
With all of Samantha's new discoveries she recently discovered "The Jumperoo". We were over at the VandenHouts last Saturday and she tried it out and loved it. Meghan and Jason were nice enough to let us take it home. We figured by the time Macy is ready for it Samantha will be on to other things, but for now...she is a champion jumerooer. Just see for yourself.

It snows???

2008-12-22T12:38:00.003-05:00

This is my favorite picture for sure. She is like what in the world is going on now. I'm hot, I'm cold so much to deal with out of the womb. My sweet Samantha loves being outside so she will take it anyway she can get it even in the piles of snow we have been getting. We love you Samantha!

Sophie turns 1

2008-12-22T12:32:00.002-05:00

We always have so much fun at our friend's house for birthday parties. We used to all get together to PART-TAY, now we get together to....well...teach the kids how to party. That is funny and always so much fun. In my opinion things have changed for the better and truthfully these kids can teach us a thing or two.

happy birthday to Sophie! You are a beautiful one year old!

I posted lots of stuff!!!

2008-12-01T13:59:00.003-05:00

I seem to post two or three posts at a time. It bugs me because the last one that I post usually should be the first one I post. Get it? I mean the order it shows up on the blog. Anyway, I posted some Santa pictures and other stuff below so make sure to check them out.

I took this video while I was feeding Samantha her cereal the other night. Sometimes she gets so excited she just wants to go and go and you will see go, go, go! This is super funny and I am so proud of how talented she is. I think this takes talent, Ha!!

Damn the Baby Gap!!!

2008-12-01T13:54:00.002-05:00

My baby does not need any more clothes. She probably won't wear all the ones she has before she grow out of them, but...I cannot stay away from the Baby Gap. The person that designs their baby clothes needs to be shot because they are soooo super cute I cannot help but buy them.
Samantha wanted to have a cool cap just like her daddy. They are so cute together.

Here Comes Santa Clause

2008-12-01T13:40:00.002-05:00

Samantha met Santa!
Thank goodness Samantha's friend Ryder was there to make Santa seem nice. I think this Santa out front of Macy's looks pretty authentic.

More new stuff For Sam

2008-11-22T14:15:00.002-05:00

At first she wasn't sure what the whole spoon thing was all about but then she got the hang of it. She is my big girl!

Along the same lines of trying to get my sweet baby to sleep through the night we thought it was time for cereal. The theory is that if she is nice and full she will not get up for a feeding in the middle of the night. So far the cereal has not made a bit of difference. I will keep you posted on operation Sam sleep all night. I will post a picture of myself once the bags go away from under my eyes, Ha!!

Rolling Over!!

2008-11-20T13:23:00.009-05:00

OMG, my sweet baby has been up to so much since my last post. I have been busy but it really is not excuse. Samantha is about 15 weeks old now ans she is so much fun everyday.

First of all she is rolling over like it is her job! She goes from front to back and back to front. She loves to do it all the time. Her neck is so strong.

Just ask her to do her rolls and she is off. She pulls her legs up and throws them over and away she goes. So cute!

Now she has been rolling over for 3 weeks, brilliant!

I almost jumped the gun. The same week that she started rolling over she slept through the night twice! I couldn't wait to post that news, but that did not last. I know there is many tid bits of advice on how to get her to sleep through the night and I am currently trying them all. Truthfully, she is good through the night. I put her to bed at 8pm and usually don't here from her until 2am. Now she has been pushing it back to 3am and 3:30am. I know we are on the right track. She will be sleeping through the night by the time she is 4 months...hopefully!

Pumpkin Carving

2008-10-28T13:07:00.004-04:00

To end the busy weekend my whole family came over and carved pumpkins. We get pretty competitive and my dad usually wins but he was distracted by a little baby bear...
Steve carved "big eye little eye" my mom's is next to his and we call him "special" I think the angry one in front is Lisa's, Angela's pumpkin always has props so hers has the googly eyes, Rob's is beside hers and my dad's pumpkin is below. The tower in the back is the Lundberg family tower. dave's in the middle...his is blind, mine on the bottom...naturally holding up the family, ha, and Samantha's is painted on the top.
Look at these two crazy kids. My sister Lisa and her husband Steve...a couple of goof balls. Steve is that your impression of Lisa? LOL!!

Busy weekend

2008-10-28T12:55:00.006-04:00

Samantha and I went to Dee Morrisen's baby shower on Friday. That was Samantha's 3rd shower and we have another one to go to this Saturday. I always take her because she is so good. She just listens to all the ladies talking and then falls asleep. Here she is sleeping on my friend and producer at the station Christine Kelso. Next to Rachael and her little baby bump.

On Saturday we went to the Rinehart's to watch the big Michigan vs. Michigan State game. Dave found some time to let the Rinehart boys and Jackson show him their wrestling moves. I think they are winning for sure.
These kids are like professionals. I can't believe everyone let me take their picture...even Tommy!

Baby Ryder Schrotenboer

2008-10-21T09:41:00.005-04:00

Congratulations to Jud and Lindsey the new parents to Ryder James. Ryder was born around 11:30am on Sunday Oct. 19th. He was a healthy 9lbs. 4 oz. and 22 inches long. Samantha was impressed by his size and thought he was the coolest.
He has lots of black hair like his mommy and a sweet cry like a little mouse. Good job mom and dad Schrotenboer...welcome to the club!
I think they look cute together, don't you?

Blessed Baby

2008-10-21T09:22:00.003-04:00

I am a little late on this post but things move so quickly with a little one. Samantha was baptized on Oct. 4th at St. Jude Catholic Church. She was so good sleeping all the way through church and then she was baptized after the mass. She was woke up and and then had to get some water dumped on her head. Needless to say she was not happy.

Samantha looked so cute in her baptism dress. Our friends Jud and Lindsey let us borrow it. It was a family dress in Lindsey's family. It was so precious. Thanks Guys!

Lisa and Steve Barr are Samantha's godparents. I know they will do a great job guiding her in the light of Christ. We love you guys! "Godparents in the house!" (hee, hee, I'm quoting Steve)

Sad Day

2008-10-16T14:09:00.003-04:00

Mommy had to go back to work on Monday and I swear it ripped my heart out. I was not prepared for how hard it was going to be to leave my sweet baby. I still wonder what she is thinking. I wonder if she is wondering where did mommy go? These feeling plus running on no sleep has made for an emotional week. I have been sucking it up pretty good at work because I am thankful for my job, but I sort of feel like the only important job is being a mom...

2 months Old!!

2008-10-06T13:02:00.004-04:00

Samantha was officially two months old on Oct. 2nd. She went to the doctor for her 2 month check up on Friday. She had to get those horrible shots. She did well but mom cried....for real I cried. I have decided that no harm can ever come to my child:) I mean ever. I hated watching her little face realize that those darn shots hurt like hell. She stopped crying after like 10 seconds and the nurse handed me the Kleenex many minutes after the shots were over. I was slightly embarrassed but what can I say. This little one has a hold on me.
Anyway, Samantha is very healthy. She holds her head up really well. I would say that is where she is above average...maybe even gifted, hee, hee:) She is 10 lbs and 21 and a half inches long. That makes her in the 10th percentile for weight and 25th percentile for height. We love how the wild hair is coming in. We love, love, love her.

2008-09-29T15:58:00.002-04:00

We had our 10 year class reunion on Saturday night. For some reason I only have one picture from the night. I thought I would have taken more. Good Times!!

Happy birthday Tommy

2008-09-29T15:48:00.004-04:00

My sweet baby had a busy weekend. She had her first trip to Chucky Cheese on Friday to wish her friend Tommy happy 2nd birthday. It was like sensory over load for a 2 month old. She just looked all around and soaked it all in. We might have stayed longer but it was 100 degrees in there and mommy was having a serious hot flash. Thanks for inviting us to your birthday Tommy!
Watch out ladies Jayce likes to give the love. Here he is giving Samantha a hug and he loves all over Sophie Rinehart too. He has all the moves!!
Big sis helping with the loot. Nice work Ruby. I hear you do dishes too, hee, hee!!
Meghan getting her little girl practice!

2008-09-16T14:37:00.001-04:00

Thats My Daughter!!!!

2008-09-12T09:34:00.004-04:00

Samantha loves floor time. She will hang out on the floor either on her play gym or just in her room on a blanket for like a half hour. That is precious time for mommy to catch up on blogging and folding clothes. Thanks Sammi for being such a great baby for mommy!!!

Samantha hung out in the baby bjorn over Labor Day. Here she is practicing.
Samantha is really checking out grandpa. She was so good while we celebrated Mikey's birthday at the farm.
Just hanging out. This baby does not sleep unless she is really tired,
My three favorites!!
Another cute outfit
I was suppose to send a picture of the family for my ten year class reunion. I did not have one so I asked Trevor to take one when they stopped over. In the picture, I just woke up Dave is making a funny face and the baby looks crazy. Needless to say I did not send this picture for people who have not seen me in ten years to see.
This is the third bath tub I bought and I think I have a winner. Samantha likes to get her bath in the sink by the window. It is a lot easier giving an infant a bath if they are not crying. Now I look forward to giving her a bath because I know she likes it.

A Day in the life of Samantha

2008-09-12T09:21:00.004-04:00

I have some great pictures of what me and Samantha have been doing with our days together. We actually have been very busy. We try to get out of the house at least once a day. Plus, we get a lot of visitors. Thank you to everyone who comes to visit us.
Samantha is growing and changing so much.
First I eat!!
Then I sleep!!
Then I wake up and stretch!!

1 month old

2008-09-05T14:00:00.002-04:00

Here is 1 month old Samantha with her sassy socks. She is doing really well. She loves to eat and is such a good baby. She still seems to be sort of a peanut because her 0-3 month clothes do not fit yet but hopefully they will soon because the weather is getting cold and all her fall clothes are 0-3. The way she eats she might pass by 0-3 and go straight to 3-6, hee, hee. Dave and I are holding up well and learning everyday. This blind expedition called parenting has me reading every book and magazine to help know what my next move is. I love focusing on being a mom but I worry about what it will be like going back to work. I will save the worrying because I still have the whole month of September to completely focus on Samantha.

2 week old Samantha

2008-08-18T13:08:00.005-04:00

Happy baby!!

Samantha is 2 weeks old and I can tell already that she loves life. Mommy is getting used to being home during the week and I must say that the moments I get to spend with her are awesome. She is very alert in the morning and the afternoon. We walk around the neighborhood every day and she stays awake for the entire walk. She loves looking at shadows.
Grandma got her a play gym for the floor and she kicks and exercises on it for like 30 minutes. I can't believe she moves around so much at 2 weeks old. I love every day with her. Here are some pictures of what we have been doing for the past two weeks.
Daddy is still getting used to me getting up early.
Thanks grandma and grandpa for my new play gym.
Hurry up mom pick out an outfit.

Beautiful Samantha Jade!!

2008-08-05T19:50:00.001-04:00

Samantha Jade Lundberg is here!!!!

2008-08-03T16:51:00.006-04:00

Well after a big Mexican meal on Friday night, Steph's water broke at 2:00am and away we went. Samantha was born at 2:50pm, 7.3 lbs and 20 inches long with a full head of hair. Below are some pictures, I'll let Stephanie explain more about the labor and such, I'm just here to post some pics for inquiring viewers (from start to finish with pushing it was 15 minutes max before she was out).

One of the first pictures when Sammie was out
Picture with cousin Owen

more to come...

Jodi's Dirty Thirty

2008-07-29T09:07:00.005-04:00

Well, they are dropping like flies. Dave, Shane, and now Jodi has entered their thirties. I think 30 is the new 20 so we should all watch out. Fun times as usual.

Steve's Triathlon

2008-07-29T08:58:00.005-04:00

Lisa's husband Steve entered the triathlon in Grand Haven the other weekend and he did really well. I made him a sign so he knew we were cheering for him. We are proud of you iron man!

Happy 30th Birthday Shane!!!

2008-07-08T12:08:00.002-04:00

This is the video of Shane when we surprised him in Ludington for his birthday on Saturday.

4th of July

2008-07-08T09:21:00.005-04:00

Dave and I went to Manistee for the 4th. The whole family was there. Some were camping but nit me at 35 weeks pregnant I stayed in a nice hotel. We also took a drive one night to Ludington to hang with some friends and celebrate (and surprise) Shane for his 30th birthday. We got some good pictures because the weather was so beautiful.
I told Dave to get my good side instead of the belly taking up the whole picture. meghan thought it was her good side too!! You go girl...Nice!!

Meghan wanted one nice picture or her and her husband. It took three tries because Jason likes his "come and get me" pose.

Random Update

2008-07-08T09:13:00.005-04:00

I have been slacking again on putting some posts up. My sister added a new member to her family. Lisa got another Pug and named it CC. She is so cute. Noodle likes to push her down. We tried to get all the dogs to sit still for like a second to get a picture. I realize we are going to need a camera with a faster shutter if we ever plan on getting any good pictures when the baby comes.

I also wanted to post my favorite picture from start of summer. I did not get very many pictures but I know a good one when I see one. This one is of the ever so photogenic Jayce Cooper Vandenhout. He is attempting to climb up the bag toss game, and stopped for a minute to give me one of his famous happy boy smiles. What a sweetheart!!

Thank You, Thank You

2008-06-04T17:02:00.006-04:00

I had my baby shower on Sunday and I must say I am so blessed and lucky to have family and friends like all of you. My sisters and my mom went above and beyond with the cake, the center pieces, the tent outside, the food and still got me some wonderful presents. Baby Lundberg is going to be spoiled for sure.

Also I am so lucky to have friends that have had children and know exactly what a new mom needs. I feel so much more prepared now that I have a crib, traveler, high chair, onesies, and of course a sassy diaper bag. thank you to all that came and made my baby shower one that I will always remember. Only 9 weeks to go. I don't know where the time went. Dave and I can not wait to be parents!

Congratulations Lindsay and Jason Smithers

2008-05-18T20:35:00.004-04:00

This past weekend we went to Jason Smithers wedding in Holland. The reception was right on Lake Michigan and made for some great pictures.
There also was an unexpected guest that made for some good pictures. Dave took advantage of his chance to tell Sparty that he was number 1!

Mac would love to see mom dancing the night away with Sparty.

Future Fan

2008-05-18T20:18:00.004-04:00

While I get ready to watch the season finale of Desperate Housewives, which I am so excited for, I decided it is about time I update my blog. I have been slacking which is a good thing and a bad thing. Slcking on the blog usually means I have been busy, but the good thing is that makes for good pictures and good blog material. Smellin what I am steppin in:)
So a few weekends ago Dave and I went to Detroit to visit our friends, Joel and Sam Kolodsick. We went to the Tigers game on Saturday and had really good seats and really nice weather.

Joel couldn't resist the big Tiger statue out front. He had Dave boost him up for the fun picture of him hanging from the Tiger's tooth. You can see all the kids around watching his influence. I'm sure many dads had to boost their kids up there after we left.

Both of my sisters were there too. Lisa went with her friends and her husband Steve and Angela went with her boyfriend Rob and his cousin. The whole gang was there, good thing the Tigers won. It was a good game and sll round a good time.

By the way my shirt has a little baseball on the tummy that says "future fan". I saw it in the mall in Detroit and I could not resist!!

Happy Dirty Thirty David!

2008-04-06T20:55:00.006-04:00

The biggest birthday boy is my hubby David. He turned 30 on Friday 4/4 and we partied in true fashion. We had a great turn out and I don't know about everyone else, but we sure had a good time. Great friends, great family, great drinks, great times! Here are the pictures to prove it.

Birthdays, Birthdays!!

2008-04-06T20:37:00.004-04:00

I am behind on posts. I am so behind that I don't know what to post first. I guess I will start with the birthday boys and girl. We have been bust going to birthday parties the last three weeks. Jayce had his first birthday and I forgot my camera. I was so bummed because I really wanted to get a good picture of Mac and Jayce together. After going to the party it was clear it would have been hard to get them both in the same place long enough to take a picture. That party was packed full on kids and excitement. Great party mom, it looked like everyone had a good time.

So the next weekend we went to Reagan's birthday party and I tried to get a picture of the kids at the Gymboree. They were having a blast. Dave and I had never been to the place and I must say the kids loved it there. Reagan is such a character she cheesed it up for me so I could get a picture. Again, great party. Dave and I get so many great tips from all our friends who are parents. We look forward to throwing little people parties for you all to come to.

In the mean time we will throw adult parties and that brings me to my next birthday boy, David.

A Note From Baby Lundberg:

2008-03-13T16:33:00.002-04:00

What's up world!! I am just fine in here. Mom and Dad had a blast checking me out on the screen today. I gave them a good show, waving, kicking my feet and maxin and relaxin with my arm behind my head.

The big news is I'm a GIRL! I knew that but mom and dad where excited to find out. Well, it has been a busy day for me. Time for me to take a rest...screen off!

ZZZZZZZZZZ

Fun Girls Weekend

2008-03-02T20:17:00.007-05:00

This past Saturday Meghan and I drove to Ashley's cabin at Caberfae and joined Ashley and her sister Haley for some cross country skiing. We were not sure what we were getting ourselves into. Ashley was the pro but the rest of us had not cross country skied since gym glass in 7th grade if ever!

Meghan and I really enjoyed the workout. It was nice to actually enjoy the snow instead of just have it stuck on my driveway and under my car. All the people in that community were snow enthusiasts and had all sorts of fun with the white stuff that has covered the ground for about 3 months now. As for Haley...
We all had a good laugh at Haley's expense. She decided that cross country skiing was not for her. Ashley kept encouraging her and telling her she was getting better but the fact that she spent more time on her butt then her feet was still apparent and I think Haley replied with a hand gesture, LOL!!!
Ashley brought along a bottle of wine (Vernors for me!) and some crackers for a mid-trail snack. Ashley...always the hostess with the mostess. Thanks Ashley for thinking of us and inviting us to your lovely home away from home. It was fun for all of us to get together, hope we can do it again soon!

Breaking News!

2008-02-19T12:26:00.001-05:00

As some of you may already know Dave and I have been blessed and are expecting our first child. On Saturday I will be 4 months along already! I have been having the easiest pregnancy and I feel great everyday. Dave and I are over the moon and it has been hard not spilling the beans. I have been waiting to tell my work so that is why I waited to blog about this. My next Dr. appointment is March 13th and I get to find out what we are having. That's right all you haters we are finding out whether you like it or not. I figure everything about this experience has been a surprise and I have many, many more surprises to come, so this one detail I am ruining the surprise for. I guess I am just a planner and I want to have a pink room or a blue room. Anyway, all of our friends have shown us the way and it looks pretty good. We are excited to be having a child of our own. Thank you to all you parents for the advice and believe me we are taking advice!

1 Year Anniversary

2008-02-07T11:05:00.000-05:00

In the mist of all our vacationing Dave and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary Feb. 3rd. I must say we were far from being in a blizzard. We are so very happy and the year has gone by fast. We are looking forward to our new adventure this year and the changes to come. Now, how do you top fun in the sun for our first anniversary with Valentine's Day coming up?
Some how word spread on the boat that we were celebrating our anniversary the next day, so they staff gave us a cake and sang. It was funny and unexpected...I think my family had something to do with that.
One more anniversary funny...Dave got me diamond earings for our anniversary while we were in the islands. Then, he saw this sign and thought it was funny and true!

Finally an Update!

2008-02-07T10:43:00.001-05:00

Ok, so I have become one of those who do not update their blog forever. I suck!! After Christmas and New Years Dave and I were getting ready for a great vacation.
We just got back from an 8 day cruise in the Caribbean with the whole family. It was really fun and here are some pictures to prove it!
Here is all of us girls the first day pulling out of Ft. Lauderdale. Dave and I got on the boat at 1:00pm that afternoon and the rest were suppose to be right behind us. They did not arrive until after 4:00pm and I thought they were going to miss the boat! I was glad to see them when they finally got there.

The pool on the boat was chilly but that did not stop these two love birds...aren't they cute.
All of us played in the waves both on Orient beach in St. Maartin and Can Bay beach in Tortolla. The beaches were beautiful and the waves were super fun.
This is Dave and his coconut friend. This guy was amazing with a machete. He had fresh coconuts and then added rum. For $5 it was a fun native cuisine.
In San Juan the group split up a bit because this lady was not walking a mile to see an old castle. Me, Dave my mom and dad shopped around the streets of San Juan and then needed a break and a refreshment...water for me please!!

Christmas Party

2007-12-09T22:26:00.000-05:00

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!

2007-12-09T22:20:00.001-05:00

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!

2007-12-09T22:05:00.001-05:00

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

2007-12-09T21:45:00.000-05:00

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!

2007-12-09T21:36:00.000-05:00

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!

2007-12-09T21:30:00.000-05:00

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!

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

We Love you Owen!

2007-10-14T21:49:00.001-04:00

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

2007-10-14T21:20:00.000-04:00

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

2007-10-14T21:00:00.000-04:00

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!!!

2007-09-01T22:28:00.000-04:00

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

2007-09-01T22:15:00.000-04:00

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!

Congrats to Adam and Meghan Senica

2007-09-01T22:03:00.000-04:00

Adam Senica and his wife Meghan got married on the most popular wedding date of this year...7/7/07! The ceremony was in a little chapel in Belding and the reception was at the Amway. Dave stood up for Adam and again we had a great time. All these weddings make Dave I feel like we got married 7 times over.

All the ladies in the house!!! Good times!

Oh ya, this is the wedding that the infamous Denny Mooney got out his lasso and roped some poor kid on his mo-ped riding down Pearl Street. After the police told him he cannot do that he moved the rodeo inside and roped unsuspecting guests. Crazy Mooney! I'm pretty sure we all got Mooneyed that night.

Super Bride

2007-09-01T21:38:00.000-04:00

I have been slacking on my posts. I am just getting to pictures of Lisa's wedding on July 21st. It was a beautiful day and Lisa was "Super Bride" and we had a ton of fun. Lisa is now "Lisa Barr". She married Steve Barr her high school sweetheart on July 21st, 2007. The two of them are truly a special pair. I was so honored to be a part of the day and everything went so smoothly it was an awesome wedding.
I love this picture. Are we sisters or what?!?! We are getting ready at the salon early in the morning. After we got all pretty we were off to St. Anthony's Catholic Church to get dressed.

The church had unique archways that the photographer used to get some great shots. I only have shots of the girls tat Dave took, but I have seen the ones of the guys too and they looked great.

I love the flowers. Gerber daisies were a great call.

Lisa had three little flower girls that were so cute. One little flower girl int he front is Steve's sister Amy's daughter and the other two are Steve's brother Chris's little girls.

I love, love, loved the trolley ride through Grand Rapids. I also like this shot of Dave and I.

Owen and Uncle Dave

2007-07-07T12:40:00.000-04:00

How cute is Owen! Thanks Dave and Marissa for taking pictures. I missed your visit but I was so glad to see the pictures. This picture of Dave and Owen is my favorite.

Dirty Thirty

2007-07-07T12:26:00.000-04:00

Andrea turned 30 and of course I was there to help her celebrate. Happy birthday girl. I'm looking forward to our tubing trip!

Countdown to Lisa's wedding

2007-07-07T11:41:00.000-04:00

Lisa is so lucky to have such fun friends. this group for sure knows how to party!

She got all kinds of surprises at her bachelorette party!

We had this crazy cabana boy come to the house to serve drinks and embarrass Lisa. It was super funny. All the guest came to my house first and we did a luau. We had plenty of drinks and shots and food to get the party started right!

Of course, I had to get Lisa a pimp cup just like I got Andrea. Lisa's pimp cup had pink trim said "shorty". You have to listen to enough hip hop music to know "shorty" means lady, girl, or female. "Shorty were you at?" "Go shorty, its you birthday"

Even Noodle got in the spirit. We all love love Lisa so much it was a group effort. Next is the big day. We can't wait. Lisa and Steve will become husband and wife on July 21st.

Lisa had her shower and her bachelorette party. Lisa got her awesome bedding and pillows at her shower along with these stylish bride and groom hats...You know those hats are from Joany!

More Summer Fun!

2007-07-07T11:23:00.000-04:00

The Anderson wedding reception was a fun family affair. Farmer Dave, Ma Lundberg, and the boys were all there. With everyone's busy schedule it was nice to all sit around and catch up. Also my handsome nephew was at the reception. I love seeing how big he is getting. He also is getting cuter by the day. I just want to squeeze him.

So Much Summer Fun!!

2007-07-07T10:39:00.000-04:00

Wow, I have been slacking with the blog postings. Our summer has been busy so far. We have been having a ton of fun. Here are some pictures of all the things the Lundbergs have been up to.

Of course, my girl Andrea got married! It was a beautiful day to take pictures downtown. That party bus was super fun. We love you Zimmers, you have been married for a little over 2 months and we have been having such a great time with you guys. Thank you for having us be a part of your special day!

Ho Fo Sho

2007-05-06T16:24:00.000-04:00

Andrea had her bachelorette party two weekends ago now but I have been slacking on my posting. Plus, it took like three days to recuperate from that bad #@s party. It started at 4:00pm at Kelly's house where all the bridesmaids got together first for "a drink". Before we knew it we had Andrea decked out in the boa and flashing penis pin and vail and it was 6:00pm and we had to go and meet all the party people at Our Tavern, for the party to get started.

In case you were wondering who got Andrea that awesome cup, it was me. She loved that things and it held ALOT of beer. The Ho Fo SHo slogan became the favorite phrase of the night. Nice pimp cup, Pimp. Or tavern was really fun and Andrea met up with all her gal pals. We did the usual...we ate, we drank, opened presents and blind folded Andrea?
That's right girls Andrea got a stripper! Kelly hand picked him and he did a great job. I posted the only picture I could, wink, wink.
He made his way around the room and the drinks kept on flowing. Andrea fell down a little later in the evening and we decided we needed a change of scenery. Andrea wanted to dance so Monte's here we come and the party kept going on. Girl you are going to be hurting the next day and not just from the cherry on your shoulder from falling.

Happy Easter

2007-04-05T21:54:00.000-04:00

Happy Easter Everyone! We ate brunch at BLI with the Lundbergs and then had to eat again at my parents house. Eating twice is fun! Easter bunny Owen was so cute.

Happy Birthday Big D!

2007-04-05T21:46:00.000-04:00

Dave celebrated his 29th birthday on Wednesday (4/4/78). Happy Birthday!

My Baby Noodle Poodle!

2007-04-01T23:06:00.000-04:00

I thought I should have a picture of my baby since I have so many
pictures of other babies. Noodle looks so cute relaxing on the couch.

Here is a picture of her stuck between the couch cushions. That is my favorite picture.

Awesome Couples Shower

2007-04-01T22:48:00.000-04:00

My good friend Andrea had a couples shower this weekend and it was a ton of fun. It was a bar stocking party and they got some great gifts. Everyone at the party is really excited for Andrea and Dave. They are two great people who have found each other and I know the will be very happily married.

This party got wild and it was so fun. I can't wait for the bachelorett party. Less then 30 days you two! Hee hah!

Andrea's fiance (Dave) did not know what to do with this gift. I think that was Andrea's top he thought was an eye patch. Also Dave took all the presents out of the boxes. He had to sample some of the booze and the fun dispenser he got that looked like a gas pump. It was funny to see and now I know why guys don't have showers.

Welcome to the World baby Jayce

2007-04-01T22:04:00.000-04:00

I was able to see Jayce when he was only 1 day old. He is so cute and tiny. When I was there he hadn't even gone his first poo-poo yet. Luckily I have that effect on babies and I heard some action down below while I was there. Meghan said when she saw him he looked like Jason and she knew his name should be Jayce. The longer I hung out with the little guy the tanner he got. He definitely looks (and tans) like his daddy. Don't worry Meghan I am pretty sure he will have your big brown eyes!

I could be a mommy, right?

2007-03-18T22:23:00.000-04:00

So what do you think? Does a little one look good on me or what. I babysat for Jason and Marissa on Thursday, so Mommy could go out for some birthday dinner. Happy 25th Marissa! Watching Owen was a blessing. I definitely will take any practice I can get. I realized there's a lot to learn about having a little one. I think Dave got a good does of Owen too. Owen is a super good baby we enjoy practicing with our nephew.

St. Patty's Day

2007-03-18T19:26:00.000-04:00

St. Patty's Day is always a blast. This year we had some bowling fun. That's right it was rock 'n bowl time. It all started with me insisting that Dave put together our new fire pit. Lets face it even when the weather is warm in Michigan you can still use a fire.

I'm sorry I had to do it girls. This is the only picture of the whole group. I think it's cute. Meghan at nine months carried our bowling team with the high score. Jason was afraid they were going to get stopped on the way out for stealing a bowling ball. Great time team.

Andrea's Turn

2007-03-18T18:57:00.000-04:00

Andrea's soon to be sister-in-laws gave her a great shower. She had a ton of gifts and it was great to see Jenny. I am looking forward to all of the festivities coming up. Expecially, the big Zimmer wedding!

Honeymoon Here We Come

2007-02-25T10:04:00.000-05:00

After all that snow Dave and I could not wait for our honeymoon. Los Cabos San Lucas, Mexico was our destination that Monday morning and we left the "blizzard of '07" behind.
Dave made sure we golfed along the Sea of Cortez and we also went ATV riding. The activities were so fun and exciting, I jumped the ATV off a sand dune.

First day at our resort Dave won a poolside contest. I knew he had it in the bag. Dozer...Number one beer drinker!!! I was so proud and knew our life together was going to be super fun and full of surprises.

There were four restaurants in our resort. This is the Mexican restaurant we went to the last night we were there.

Where the Sea meets the Pacific Ocean, the famous Arch is the most photographed landmark in Cabo. Not a bad sunset either, this was at the end of our ATV tour...Pedro let us ride along the Pacific for a 40 min joyride and enjoy the beautiful landscape.

Thank You!!

2007-02-21T14:03:00.000-05:00

We will keep this blog going with all the new adventures Dave and I will have together as husband and wife. We have some very special weddings coming up that we cannot wait for and I am sure there will be plenty of pictures.
Dave and I want to thank all our guests again for coming to our wedding and reception. The weather was the worst but family and friends made our wedding day the very best. We love you all!

THE RECEPTION!!!!

2007-02-21T13:47:00.000-05:00

Yes, we made it! We are husband and wife, so where is that garter?

Everyone had a great time even though their cars were becoming covered in snow in what has been coined "Biggest Blizzard in a decade"!

I guess the moms had fun getting to know each other better...On the dance floor? We cannot forget about the awesome last dance.

Feb. 3rd, 2007 "Our Wedding Day"

2007-02-21T13:29:00.000-05:00

Dave and I would like to thank everyone who braved the storm to come and be with us on our special day. It will always be memorable.
I wore a huge princess dress and I think at the reception people were actually hiding under it without me knowing! LOL!
My mom and sisters looked beautiful also. I was lucky to have a sister who could do hair so we would not have to go out in the morning blizzard.
Off in the snow we go!

Our limo driver was not sure were he was going to take us with the horrible road conditions, but we made a party out of it anyway!

Rehersal Dinner

2007-02-21T13:17:00.000-05:00

Rehearsal dinner was so special. The speeches the food and especially the company was top notch. Meghan is so cute when she is with child and Sarah lookin sassy in the new hair cut.

Lisa and Steve are getting married July 21st and I am so excited to have a new little bro! He has been around long enough I already feel and know he fits right in.

Of course, my girls were looking sassy in their white shorties. I had to give them something to cover up in the cold temperatures. (little did we know it was going to be more than cold temps. ...try a blizzard!)

Bachlorette Party Time!!

2007-02-21T13:06:00.001-05:00

Look at me I'm a blogger!! I figure I better get this blog in place so I can share some of the awesome pictures my friend Tara took leading up to and including me and Dave's wedding! Everyone had a great time at the bachlorette party, and who can forget that wacky singing telegram!
