I've been tagged
So I have been tagged to tell 6 random things about myself that most people don't know.

1. Most people have a problem with touching their eyes, however I can stick my finger into my eye, under my eye lid. I am told that it is disgusting.
2. I use to walk on my toes. Meaning that my toes were curled under. I can do it for a brief time now but I am not young anymore.
3. I am obsessed with sports. I coach basketball at ZEHS and softball at ZWHS, then in the summer I played 3 nights a week, fall ball I am down to two, and then two volleyball teams in the winter, as much as I am able to do.
4. I love cream style corn. Some nights when Nick is at work I will make a can of cream corn for my dinner, however he doesn't like it.
5. My husband races out at Berlin and most girls sit back and watch the guys do all the work. I however am able to carry two tires, one under each arm like every other guy out there. I help out at much as I can because that is something that we enjoy together.
6. Last but not least, I love being dirty. I love working outside in the dirt with my flowers, or on the race car. I wipe my hands on my clothes because it doesn't bother me. I love to know and prove that I worked hard:)

Well I am done now and time to tag someone else therefore I am tagging Briana since she hasn't posted in forever:)

Silver Lake

We went up camping at Silver Lake this weekend with Joel and some of his friends. Nick wanted to take Joel up a few hills and of course got stuck:) But we all had a good time.


We also made a stop down at the sand drags!

Happy Anniversary to Us:) Yesterday was our 3 year anniversary, which doesn't even seem realistic. We spent our anniversary just like any other day. Nick worked on the car since there were some "things" that needed to be figured out. Of course I was off to play softball in Allendale. Honestly we wouldn't have it any other way. Our love has grown so much and we couldn't ask for anything more. We are going camping this weekend so that will be our time spent together. The weeks are just way too busy.

Family Party (sorry no pictures)

Yesterday would have been my grandfather's 95th Birthday however he passed away March 1 of this year. Since there are so many of us Headleys and we usually have a celebration we decided to head the park. We ended up going to Huizenga Park and I got to fish with Caleb, Madison, Jason, and Keaton. Keaton and I also had some time to talk to the ducks:) The memories of my grandpa will never be forgotten and he is the foundation that made our family of many so strong!

Controversy at the Track



There are days at the track when things go perfect. Then there are days like Saturday. The last few weeks we have been experimenting with a few things to see what works and what doesn't for the car. Things week things were going better but we were still trying to perfect the car to the best of our ability. With a lucky draw we started 2nd for the feature. Things were going great running second until about 2 laps to go. A car passing Nick hit the car in front of Nick. He then got tapped from behind and did what he could to avoid what was in front of him as well as another car behind him. Berlin officials then sent two cars that weren't involved to the back. There are still many questions unanswered and hopefully they can figure this out.

Friday Adventure













Nick decided Friday that he was going to buy a bike and we were going to ride out to the beach. He thought this was the best idea ever but I warned him that he butt was going to hurt. 5 minutes into the ride he agreed with me but we still made it out to the beach, walked the Pier, and then back. We were laughing most of the time.

Dad and Mom Schipper took all us kids out for dinner to celebrate our Anniversaries. Rob and Tammie had their anniversary August 11 (1995), Jason and Shelly May 7 (2004), and Nick and I August 19 (2005). We went out to Clover Bar for Pizza and Grand Haven.

Madison got some funny kazoo lips out of the machine and of course gave them to Keaton. There was drool everywhere:)

No one wanted to get their picture taken however at least Dad and Tammie are looking.This is Keaton's mean faceRob and Mom
Caleb got his braces put on yesterday so he had to show them off!
Keaton was cracking up at Uncle Nick with his new toy.
Madison and Dad (Grandpa)
Of course the Happy Family with one on the way:)

I know there is a member of my family that I have yet to have pictures of on here:) Well this is Lucky for all to see. He stays outside during the day but as you can tell he wishes he was in the house with his paws and nose pressed up against the door. Anytime he hears any movement he is up and thinks he is coming in!

Another Day at the Track. The boys discussing some factors to make the car faster after a practice.
Making some changes

Wasn't a day as planned. We tried a new set-up on the car and it didn't worked out as well as we hoped however we learned from it and know how to adjust for next week:)

Happy Birthday Joel:)

Friday night we went out to celebrate Joel's 24th birthday. He got to pick where we were going to eat and of course like any other kid we went to Chucky Cheese. Here are some pictures of our eventful evening!






As you can see some of the games were quite intense!

Another busy weekend!

Saturday started out with breakfast then we headed out to the race track. It hot outside and with a slight breeze it ended up being a comfortable day. The car was running consistently and qualified 4th. With the inversion Nick started 9th and after barley missing a wreck he finished up 7th in the feature. The car was a bit tight for the race so improvements will need to come for next week:)



Dave Hull got a new sticker for his car! (as a joke)

On Sunday we had parties to attend which made for an eventful yet tiring day. We started at Grandpa and Grandma Meeuwsens' house for a fish fry with family and friends. (Hopefully I will get pictures soon!) After playing some yard games and talking with everyone we left there around 4 pm and headed to the birthday party at 5 pm. Caleb is 10 today (Aug 4) and Keaton will be 2 (Aug 8). I can't believe they are growing up so quick. We had an ice cream cake and opened presents and then played a fun game of wiffle ball. Of course it was boys against the girls and of course the girls won!

Caleb and Keaton had to blow out their candles and Keaton then clapped.

Here are the all star pitchers for the teams.

After we were done playing ball it was a competition of doing flips on the gym set. Even my dad did one!
