Summer or Fall ?

I am still surprised how cool this summer has been. Last weekend we were at the lake with rain Friday and Saturday. We went home Saturday night and it was sunny but cool Sunday. We are staying in Sandusky Ohio tonight and tomorrow we are going to Cedar Point. We will try the lake again Thursday for the weekend. I will post some pics of the trailer next week it was too rainy to take any last weekend.

Blackout

A little frend came to our door and begged to stay. Blackout is his name and he has become a house cat due the fight that sent him to the vet. The free cat who adopted us has become a regular member of the family. He likes to hide all the time and jump out and attack us.

Colten Joel Kleinjans

There is a new addition to the Kleinjans family. Colten Joel Kleinjans arrived a little early to make sure he could see the new year in with mom and dad. He was very sleepy tonight but didn't yell to much with all the new people around today. Colten we are glad you came to welcome in the new year with all your family. Happy New Year everyone!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Have a Merry Crhistmas and a Happy New Year. The snow keeps falling but it is supposed to rain this weekend. The tree is finally up and there are many presents underneath. Shaun and I hope everyone has a great holiday season!

Where did our summer go?

I can't believe it is almost December. We got a nice batch of snow yesterday and it all melted today. Mud is fun. Here are a couple pics from the warm summer weather.

Memorial Day Parade and Golf in Traverse City

Memorial Day we were in Zeeland for the parade. Shaun marched and I followed the parade and took some photos.
Today we went to Traverse City to play golf Saturday and Sunday. We got lost and did not get to the resort until 9:30pm. We did see a great sunset on bay before we got to the hotel. Will post more soon. Only a couple days left before Lisa and the boys get here. Not much time to get the house in order and we are gone for the weekend.

Tip Toe Through the Tulips

It has been a while since I posted and with the snow finally gone I thought I would post a couple pics and update our friends around the world. Shaun and I went to Traverse City for spring break. Our plan was to hang out at the Grand Traverse Resort and golf a little. Long story short there was still snow in the woods and very cool and windy conditions so no golf happened. Shaun liked the pool and water slide and it was nice to get away for a couple days. Because they screwed up and let me make tee times for golf when the course was not open yet they extended our gift certificates and we have two more free nights coming up. We are planning to go June 13-15 and hope to have some better golf weather. Shaun will be marching in Tulip time this week and the school year is quickly coming to an end. My flowers are blooming but as always my tulip tree was frozen and the blossoms are dead. We got a heavy frost last week Tuesday. We will be busy with work school and getting the yards in shape. Will post again soon. John & Shaun

Spring coming ?

The snow is is melting. According to the weather channel we can expect a little blast Friday 1 to 3 inches. South will get around 7 or 8. The temps are warming and spring is coming? We are going to Traverse City for 3 days of spring break. We are staying at the Grand Travese Resort and Spa. I don't know if we will be able to golf or not but it will be good to get away.

Snow Snow and More Snow

The snow keeps on falling. Last night and today the winds and snow made it impossible to go anywhere. Roads were closed and many people in the ditch and pile ups on the highways. I could not see much going next door to blow snow today. I am sure it is all drifted back for me to blow Monday. If you are some where warm be happy you are not here.

Happy Birthday Lisa

Happy birthday Lisa! Getting close to the top of the hill. It has snowed here because of you. There always seem to be a storm on the night you were born.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

This is the photo that I wanted on my Christmas cards this year. Due to printer problems we were not able to get that done. I will post the rest of our summer west trip and other stuff soon. I have been slacking on the posting lately. Shaun and I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Soccer 2007 a fun season

Soccer season 2007 has come to an end. Shaun had a great time playing and making new friends. We won one game against Grand Haven and I enjoyed watching the kids improve their skills and teamwork. A small break in the western trip to post pictures from soccer. I will try to finish our western saga soon. See Soccer 2007 for more pictures of all the fun.
