The Month of October

Hey everyone, October is almost over so I thought I would post some stuff since is has been a while.
Feel free to leave comments!
This month so far:

We visited out at the Blaauw Family farm and took some pictures. Me with the cows and David with the soy beans. We spent they day out there with Grandpa Blaauw, which was nice, and he especially enjoyed it because he was able to drive his golf cart and he was able to walk down the hallway at his house after his nap. For those of you how dont know, Grandpa was paralyzed on his left side after having a biopsy done in his brain. After lots of PT he is now walking!

This is my cousin Justines baby boy. Tyler Robert Martin. He is a little cutie pie!

This is Jess Crisp our music pastors wife and Katie at the church baby shower for Katie. Aren't they cute? Jess did a great job throwing Katie a shower.

This is a painting I did for Katies baby room. It matches her bedding set. I also made a couple of wall pegs to hang bags or coats on. The bedding set is called MOO MOO BABY by Lambs and Ivy. Its so cute.


the Next few pictures are from our annual girl trip. This year we went to Frankenmuth and Birch Run for some major shopping. I got almost all of mine done in one day! I think I spent around 240 dollars but I had about 420 in savings! wow thats a great deal. Any ways, it was a fun day. Grandma Smith, Aunt Pen, Justing, Brie, Tyler, Mom, Katie, Jenni, Nyla and I all went.Jen and Nyla

Our first anniversay

David and I celebrated our first anniversary this past weekend. On saturday we went to Beards and picked Blueberries with Davids Grandpa Tanner, Aunt Judy who is up from Texas and Joe and Jen who were up from Indianapolis. Then David and I went on to Cranes orchard to pick a bunch of peaches and they smelled sooo good. After that we went to Boatworks for dinner in Holland. On Sunday our actual anniversary we went to church, then came home and had roast and some pink lemonade and we ate our cake from our wedding... yum.. then we played rummycube and went and got some icecream.

Getting ready for Our First Anniversary!

Hey everyone! I cant believe this weekend will be mine and Davids first anniversary. Wow time sure does fly by! We are still trying to decide what we are going to do but we have a couple of ideas in mind. There is a new restaurant in Holland called Boatworks, its located right on Lake Macatawa so you can watch all the boats go by and stuff. Its sounds like a nice place then we were thinking about going down to St. Joe for the Venician Festival Fireworks and stuff but we still haven't decided on anything yet... we really should make up our minds... oh well. Here are a bunch of pictures of us over the past year to celebrate our first anniversary!
