Spring Update 2014

It has been over 2 months since I made a post so it is time to get up to date.  During the time that dad was in the hospital Michelle and I determined we would have to raise the rent on my house.  We were notified almost immediately that our renters would be moving out.  We decided that it was time to sell the house and move on.  Fortunately for financial reasons on our end the renters are still there.  There was a lot of work to do and the house went on the market June 9, 2014.  Still a few things to do there, just no rush.  Praying for a quick sale.

Three holidays have passed now also.  Just not the same without dad.  Father's Day was happy and sad.  Comfort came in know that dad was celebrating with his Heavenly Father!

Mom is doing better.  She is starting to get here appetite back and sleeping better.  She is still staying at her house.   We go out there at least once a week to help her out.  I know she wants to stay in her house, but I would feel better if she were here with us.

The kids got out of school on Friday.  They are happy summer is here.  It seems like we went from winter right to summer.  We already are into extreme heat and no rain.

Next week is church camp.  So we are now preparing for that.  We are also doing some cooking for Tyler and Kayla's graduation party this Saturday.

Started to train for Ore to Shore.  Started my weightlifting back up and got back on the bike.  The hard work have kept my weight and strength down.  Kind of like I never stopped training.  Hoping to do the XC race at Midland City Forest on July 13 to test my fitness.  I am planning on riding the fat bike at Ore to Shore.  So City Forest will be a good test for the bike set up also.

I have sold a lot of parts, etc. since the new year.  I will update on the latest bike change soon.

That pretty much gets things up to date.  Stay tuned.

Summer Vacation: Day 10, Heading Home.

Sunday would be a long day of travel as we would make the trek home in one day.  Still shorter than driving from Marquette. We had breakfast and started to pack up.  I had put the bikes on the van Saturday evening while the grill was heating up and loaded a few things up.  We managed to get on the around just a few minutes after 12:00pm.   Michelle would take the first leg of the drive at the wheel of the van and I would rest.  We made a stop at a rest area in Manistique and I took a few photos. A lighthouse for Michelle.  A mouse in a tuxedo! We got back on the road and stopped at another rest area.   Very cool! Brendan made a friend. The were not to bad. Our next stop would be St. Ignace.  We wanted to eat at Clyde's Drive In.  However, after arriving the place was packed.  So we went to B.C. Pizza again.  After lunch we made our way to Castle Rock as we were not able to climb it on o...

Brendan's Last Birthday Party

So today we had another party for Brendan's Birthday.  We also celebrated MacKenzie's birthday today (hers was yesterday).  We had Michelle's parents here also.  This was about the 6th birthday celebration for Brendan.  Michelle made some really cool cakes for the two of them.   Brendan's Turtle Cake     Mackenzie's Owl Cake   Everyone arrived and we had a great meal and watched the Michigan/Michigan State game.  Very close game with Michigan pulling out the win in the last seconds.  There was cake and ice cream and the traditional Happy Birthday song.
