Polasek's Visit 2009...

The last weekend in August the Polasek's came to visit!

Friday during the day it was nice enough for the kids to go to the beach. Emily, Macy and Nolan loved playing in the sand & water.

Uncle Brian taking a walk down the beach with Nolan...

After I got off work the clouds rolled in..we decided to go put-put golfing anyway! Brian, Macy, Emily & Jason all got holes in one on the same hole!

The I got one!

And Brian & Christy got one..

After, we came home..grilled out and then the rain made us "grill" our smores rather than over the fire as planned...

still happy campers....

Then on Saturday it rained all day...I thought for sure we would be going 2 by 2 to Noah's Ark..instead we headed to the mall to ride the carousal!

The kids where so excited...

We also went to the local children's museum...Nolan trying to eat the pretend food :) hehe...

Emily in front of the USS Emily!

At the water table..all the kids loved this!

Then my parents came over to babysit for the night...the girls getting ready for a wagon ride to McDonald's for happy meals!

Nolan's ready too...

And there off....

And Christy, Jason, Brian and I headed to Beer Fest!

Cedarville 2009...

This past weekend Brian, I and our friends went up to Cedarville in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This trip has turned into an annual event & we were fortunate enough to participate once again!

The weekend includes boating, fishing, sunbathing, bbqing, drinking, campfires and just hanging out relaxing with friends! It is a GREAT time.

The piled in 3 boats and made our way to the Islander bar..Laura & I.

A beautiful group of girlfriends! I am blessed!

The next day we went boating and we made a pit stop at a friends boat house to do a little jumping!

Jenna and I climbed to the top of the boathouse & jumped off! 30 Feet!

The guys at the beach...

The girls at the beach...

This year Brian was determined not to loose his suit boating, tubing and wake surfing!! He brought suspenders just in case!! Funny!

This year Macare & I planned the 1st annual beer Olympics! And it was a riot! The events included: beer pong, flip club, blind folder lemon drop hunt, orange & banana pass and a slip & slide replay!

A group pictures of all the Olympians!

Brian & his green team: Ben, Kate & Macare!

And my blue team: Mike, Jessica, Jason, Lindsay and I!

Even thought the competition was stiff-my team lost and Brian's won in a tie- we still came out in love!
It was an awesome weekend! Made even more special by celebrating my birthday with 20 of our friends! We are so blessed!!
