A DAY WITH EMILY

Do any of you have a cute little sister who just seems to get all the attention sometimes? I did growing up (she's one of my best friends now...love you Julie) and Emily has one right now. Boy, I can relate to this sweety! We decided it was "Spoil Emily" day.

Here is Emily before our "Chick Day" out. We went out to breakfast, then to get a manicure, then to the store to pick up items for a day of fun and spoiling!

Ahhhhhh! Nothing feels better than a pedicure with a wonderful foot massage!

Wrap them puppies up with saran and towels and let them feet tingle!

While the feet were tingling, we pampered Emily with a strawberry facial. Yummy!

Emily couldn't help but show off her newly polished nails. Aren't they just lovely?

Now, for the warm towel to wash the facial off with. So relaxing!

Gotta have the toes match the finger!

Now on to the hair. This is a full-service kitchen beautician salon!

WOW! Is that Shirley Temple in my house?????

Nope...I was wrong! It's a beautiful Hollywood movie star!!!! What a glamour girl!

A SUNDAY AFTERNOON OF BOATING

This summer has been so incredibly busy that this is the first week we have had a chance to all get out on the boat together! Aye Carumba! I must say, we all had an incredibly fun time! Lake Michigan was a bit too choppy today, so we decided to head out to Paw Paw Lake.

The Captain and his first mate.

The three beauties: Jazzy, Jessica and Linnea

Sean and Inessa. Interesting story behind these two. They have been married just 7 short months. Sean met Inessa when he was visiting in Kiev, Ukraine. They go to our church and we wanted to get to know them better, so shortly after they were married, we went out to dinner with them. After some chit-chat, Sean and I figured out that we both went to the same high school and graduated the same year! Small world, isn't it?

Phill and Chad
Andrew, Inessa's son, and Sean

Jessica and Phill. Aren't they just the cutest couple? They even have matching bathing suits.

Phill and Chad hot dogging it while Andrew holds on for dear life!

Pete and I....we still got some goofiness left in us (but we'll pay for it tomorrow morning).

We're not too old to still have a great time out on the tube!

Jazzy, Jessica, Linnea and Inessa, ready for the ride of their lives!

Even with the wind in their hair, they are still beautiful young ladies!
