GO BLUE!!

Most of us know that U of M football hasn't exactly been fun to watch this year since they are rebuilding their team, but all of our friends make it a point to get together for the annual rival game between U of M and Ohio State.  Well, that game is today.  We don't have much room to rub anything in Shaun's face about how much Ohio State sucks, but we can still hope and pray that Michigan will upset Ohio.  Soon again, Michigan will return to #1!

Good Luck Uncle Troy!

Most of us know that November 15th is always a day that Troy looks forward to. This year, he'll be up in Cadillac for opening day of hunting season. On a recent shopping trip, he found the cutest camouflage hoodie for Morgan and a few little "hunting" animals (for her to put in her mouth of course!). So, although she is a little young to go hunting with Uncle Troy this year, she'll proudly wear her hoodie as good luck -- and who knows, maybe when she gets older she'll want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city to join him!

My Apologies

Well, after a discussion with my mom last night, I realized I made a mistake when I said Nicole only got 5 questions right. We were talking about the trips we had been on and when we were talking about dates that we went on all those trips, I came to realize that Nicole was right about the first trip we'd be on and the order of our trips. So, I added to some of the answers, and now need to correct myself and say that Nicole got "7" correct!

I guess teachers make mistakes too when they make their quizzes. I always tell my students that if they find a mistake and correct me, they get extra credit...so here is some extra credit to you mom!

Some results are in...

Okay, so maybe some of the questions were too hard. I am going to post the ones that people suggested which were correct answers and leave the others up a bit longer to see if some of you want to re-guess or if others want to try their luck with it. Good job Nicole for getting 5 of them right!

Oh, and by the way..."So Fresh and So Clean" was actually before we "burned CD's"...thats a whole new story! =)

This is for you Shaun...

I gotta love it...Shaun just had to bring up a joke from our Central days that some of you might know about. One that of course, I didn't know anyone knew about until a year after it actually happened. Since this is a family-oriented blog, I want to see who can explain this one the best, without using vulgar language (hint, hint Shaun...our parents look at this blog too!). Don't worry parents, its nothing too bad, but you know that when Shaun brings it up, he could make it juicy! Okay, here goes -- what is the story behind "burning CD's"?

Our past...

I've realized how boring this blog has been because as I mentioned before, we don't have a ton of planning to do.
