Anniversary #7






Well, our 7th Anniversary is actually on Monday, but we celebrated it today. We golfed together and went out for dinner. Then we came home and Ryan gave me his gift. It was a creative card that he had made out of posterboard and candy bars. Look carefully and you can see what it says. This was pretty good for Ryan. He doesn't do many creative things like this, so I was proud and loved the thought that went into it.

3 Weeks with Grandma and Grandpa Fortner













Where to begin...we have been very busy over the past 3 weeks. My parents arrived and we got busy. We celebrated Kadens 2nd Birthday party, went to a family reunion in Inidana for a weekend, went to a Detroit Tigers and Chicago Cubs baseball game in Detroit, went to the Detroit Zoo, went to Great Wolf Lodge and other fun stuff around the house. Our favorite part was Great Wolf Lodge. For those who don't know about it, it is a great family place. It is an indoor water park/hotel with all kinds of activities located in Traverse City, Michigan. They have arcade games, the water park, craft room, story time, magic quest scavenger hunt game, etc. The rooms are decorated really neat too. The kids had their own bunk bed room inside our room with their own T.V. To top it all off, we happened to be there while the National Cherry Festival was going on. This was located along the beach downtown. They had dog shows, carnival rides, train rides, etc. We had an absolute blast. We hope to go again next year. Here are some pictures from some of our fun activities. Oh, and one more thing. During these 3 weeks, we made 3 trips to the E.R. I went first for stomach pains, which ended up being female stuff. Then I went the second time for shortness of breath, which was from a panic attack, then Jordan went to the E.R. for the third visit. She fell off the monkey bars and broke her arm. Crazy huh!
