Our new summer home!

Finally, we have a new camper!!

Camping with a microwave and a stove??

I don't know if I'll be able to get used to that.

And a refrigerator, not having to buy 5 bags of ice everyday to keep the food cold.

The kids bunkbeds. Most importantly their shelf to put their stuff!!

Sarah is excited to sleep on the big bed on the bottom with Mya.

The master bedroom, ha.

We have our first reservations in May. I don't think I can wait.

The camper is still in Saginaw since our pop up is still in our driveway.

I can't wait to get it home and start putting "stuff" in it!!

Jacob

I can't believe this boy is 11. He's doing wonderful in school. He seems to enjoy school. He loves to read. He STILL loves legos. And he has decided to try to play the saxophone next year in 6th grade band.

He's come so far this year. I couldn't be more proud of him.

I can't wait to see what this next year has in store for him.

Daddy/Daughter Dance 2011

Sarah and Jeremy went to the daddy/daughter dance hosted by the Lakeview High School.

Sarah wore a new dress, shoes, and head band.

We had fun picking her outfit.

I'm kinda bummed because we also left for our big trip this night also so taking pictures was rushed.

I didn't get one that I loved.

They both looked very nice.

Jeremy said they both had alot of fun.

While they were there Jacob and I ran around the house and got ready to leave for FL.

Sarah thought it was pretty cool that Jeremy bought her a corsage to wear.

They both said that they can't wait to go next year.

Officially a Boy Scout

While we were in Disney Jacobs group officially "crossed over" and became Boy Scouts.

I think Jeremy and I were more bummed that he missed the ceremony then he was since he was looking forward to the Disney trip.

At another awards assembly on Sunday he was presented with the stuff he missed out on.

He thinks he's pretty cool now. It was nice to see so many older boys that have become Eagle scouts and stuck with it this long. Its a wonderful organization to belong to and teaches the boys some skills they'll have all their life.

When we were called up I asked Sarah to take pictures.

Maybe why they're not that great.....

Plus I found these on the camera when we got home.

She was so worried about pictures of herself she couldn't worry if the important ones were blurry, what a brat!
LOL

little less of me

Happy to report another loss this week.

Only -1.2 but I'll take it...

next week I'd like to see a -2

but considering Jeremy bought

mozzerella sticks, chicken wings,

and potato skins from the schwan man

for super bowl Sunday that might be

impossible, we shall see!

Blizzard? 2011

I've been waiting for awhile to see a "blizzard"

From what my blizzard sources say, I don't think what I saw last night and early this morning qualifies.

Oh well fun was had by all...I got some much needed exercise and the kids built a snow cave.

It's pretty impressive if I do say so myself...

Thank you Jesus for sending the two red necks with the four wheeler and plow that plowed our whole drive way for $10.00!
My arms were killing me!

Averie Morales

I forgot my "good" camera so these are from my phone..but obviously you can still tell how absolutely beautiful this little one is.

I think she enjoyed her first birthday party at the Couch home!
Sarah was really excited to finally meet her and get to hold her.
I think we would've sat there all day holding her but there was a birthday party
going on and social Sarah had to be in the middle of it all.


Little bro Mason loved the kitty. He and Sarah chased Max till the poor thing hid for the rest of the party, much to Masons dismay.

I'd have to say that Mesha got the most "hold" time. But that could be cause she also got the poopy diaper, haha.

I'm ok with that.
