Wow....

Its been over a week (AGAIN) since I last blogged. But I do have a reason LOL. Friday afternoon Scott, Hayley and I loaded up and drove up to my dad's house for the weekend. Our intentions were to sleep in the tent out towards the fire pit. We encountered a few problems....

• My tent bag was full of water when I pulled it out to pack it
• This resulted in having to go buy a NEW tent (with money that I should not have spent)
• Hayley ended up sleeping in the house ALL weekend, because in her words "Scott snores!"
• All weekend Scott and I were afraid our NEW tent was going to collapse on us. This resulted in my returning our brand new tent. I do not wish to own a tent that does not stay up correctly.
  

So yeah, it didn't really go the way we planned, but we had a blast. We had lots of fun, swimming, BUGS, ice cream, and hot dogs over the fire. My camera is still broken so I did not get many pictures.
On Sunday, my mom and my brother brought my 2 year old nephew up to see my dad...and us. Gosh he is getting soooo big! It seems like just yesterday that he was born! We were gone when they got there so when we got back I was in a rush to get in the house and when I walked in Ellis was like "AUNT SARA!" in his adorable 2 year old voice. It melted my heart.
In other news, Hayley starts 2nd grade today. She is sooo excited (and so is mommy!). The only problem at the moment is I can only find 1 tennis shoe and that's not good. So I hunted up her good sandals, that need to be washed, and I guess she can wear those. Also, next Sunday my baby turns 7. I can NOT believe it. We are having her party on Saturday. This year she wanted Hannah Montana. And I have been searching the net for a picture of the cake I ordered but I can not find one. Bummer, I will try and get some pictures (of course I need a camera to do that!) But even if I don't have a camera someone will and then I will get pics and if all else fails I have my cell phone which takes decent pictures.
Anyways, I need to wrap this up because I have an appointment at Hayley's school at 1 and I have a ton of errands to run before that. Something that could be very good for us has possibly come up and I need to look into it.
I will update again soon (hopefully!)

Summer Fun

Today is the 30th of July. This is significant because 29 days ago Nate was served his divorce papers. That means that as of yesterday he defaulted, which means that he is not contesting the divorce. So tomorrow, we are driving to Grand Haven to file the paper work and schedule the final hearing. I am super excited! I can not wait to be divorced. How many people say that???????
Also when we are in Grand Haven tomorrow we are going to enjoy the nice day, Coast Guard Festival is going on and we are going to check that out. It should be fun.
AND THEN...On Tuesday Scott, Hayley, Stephanie, and I are going to Michigan's Adventure. Everyone is really excited to go and have lots of fun. They open at 11 and we are going to spend the entire day there. Remind me to bring some sunscreen..LOL I doubt I will. I don't mind the sun. They have so many cool rides and we are going to try and go on everything that won't scare the crap out of us. LOL There is some rides that I can not nor will not even attempt to go on. Some of the roller coasters for example. Tho Scott and I are going to go on the cork screw. I haven't been on that ride in YEARS!
So yes, we are going to be having lots of fun in the upcoming days. And my favorite park is that Monday nite Scott is coming to stay the nite so that I don't have to go to Hudsonville on Tuesday morning. I am super excited, I can't wait to spend the nite in his arms. =)

Zoo Pictures

My favorite picture is the ring tailed lemurs. They are soooo cute!!!!! I want one! But the sign on their cage says they bite, so I would guess that means they won't make a very good pet! =(

Owww....

Yes, it hurts very badly. Yes there is a little lighter patch on my left shoulder that you can't see very well, because that is where my tattoo is, and I put special sunblock on my tattoo...
Yes you can see right where my bathing suit straps lay but only in spots because the straps don't stay up well at all....

Scott, Hayley, Stephanie, and I went to Potter Park zoo yesterday with Sylvia. It was awesome! Very busy, and very warm out. But we had a blast. Stephanie & Sylvia took Hayley with them so Scott and I could really enjoy the zoo. There was certainly more animals there than at John Ball Zoo. I took a bunch of pics and will upload some later. After we left the zoo, we were there for 3 hrs, we went to Hawk Island Park for lunch and swimming. That was a lot of fun too. By the time we left at 5:30 I was this red, in pain, and exhausted. At about 5 I dozed off sitting at a table. Then last nite I was in bed really early. Well at least early for me....hehe
