CMU Football 2008

Thursday night was our first home football game of the season. It was nice and warm outside, which was great for doing Chip Crew :) We won too!!! The score was 31-12. It was a great game!

Painting up...I am the designated painter for the season, but Alescia helped a little this time too
The 3 girls doing Chip Crew at the first game
We had 15 people show up for Chip Crew...it was awesome!!! We spelled "Fire (up arrow) Chippewas"
The stadium was pretty full too

Here's the team...Go CMU Chippewas!!!

One of the guys on the other team got hurt and had to get taken off the field on a stretcher in an ambulance. I hope he is ok!

In case you haven't heard yet...

I'm engaged...again :) To who you ask? Matt, of course!!

Since the engagement was broken off, we've continued to pray about what God wants us to do. During the summer, God changed my heart. I realized that God DOES want me with Matt over in Europe, so I am now ready to follow. We will be getting married next summer and then we will be moving to Belgium. We are both very excited to see what God has planned for us over there.

The wedding is still the date that was originally planned: June 14, 2009. So keep that date open!

And don't worry, the wedding is still in Michigan, not Europe, so most of you don't have to travel too far.

That about sums everything up. If you have any questions, feel free to call or e-mail.

Cullen's Birthday

Who's birthday is August 17....

CULLEN'S!!!!

That's right, Cullen turns 1 today! But yesterday we had a big birthday party for him...

Here we are prepping Cullen for the many pictures taken by the paparazi later in the day, and who better to train him than the little model herself, Madison.

More prep before the party...lunch time!!!

Cullen and Kelly
"Hey mom, what's this funny pointy thing on your head?"

Time for cake!!!!


A video of everyone singing "happy birthday" to Cullen

Cousins observing the cake eating process

Then the parents wanted in on the fun...


Starting to dig in...

"Yum! This cake is great! I can't believe mom and dad never let me have this before!"


Here is a video of Cullen thoroughly enjoying his cake

Cullen enjoyed the cake so much that he ate almost half of it! It had to be taken away before he got a tummy ache...

But Cullen didn't like that very much

He was very upset when his cake was taken away

But then it was time for presents! Taylor and I bought Cullen a High School Musical towel because he was born on the day that High School Musical 2 premiered :)

Overall, it was a great birthday party...even though Cullen got very tired towards the end. At least he stayed awake to eat some cake :)

Happy 1st Birthday Cullen!!!!

"Crush"

David Archuleta's first single aired on the radio today!!!! It is called "Crush". It is not quite what I was expecting from him, but it's really cute! Here is the link so you can listen to it yourself and form your own opinions. I'm excited for the full CD to come out :)

Way to go little Archie!
