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.

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!
