Brittany' Shower

Andy and Brittany are getting married soon! We got to have a shower for her this past weekend at the Klenke's house!

Abby got some cuddle time with Andy....

She is kind of rocking a mullet these days...

Gift Table.

Party favors...Tea bags for the guests to think of Brittany when they get home.

PRIZES! (No one got a bingo in the bridal shower bingo game...Has that ever happened? Thankfully we had plenty of gifts and everyone got a gift even though no one won :))

Centerpieces made by my mom.

Andy got some presents too for the Honeymoon....Some swim shorts and a shirt that "flicks" away sweat!

The food was delicious thanks to Midge and Rachel (Rachel must have been running around working because I got NO pictures of her!) The party was a success, thank you Midge for having a great party!

Fishing

Just some of the catches from last week....

A great way to start the summer!

This summer has been pretty awesome...I won't lie. And it is only June 11. Steve's job this summer is to do research at the university. Basically, that means building cool stuff in the lab and then testing it buy breaking it to see how much stress it can handle (you know so our bridges and roads don't give out under us....)

I am sure his work is much more complex than I am saying, but here are some pictures for those engineers out there.

This is Antonio a PhD student from Italy. He will be here till August and has been a huge help to Steve's research.

We are pretty thankful for this opportunity and thankful to spend a summer together here in Michigan. Thank you AF for the chance to go to grad school!

Turtles...

I wrote a post a while back about a turtle that could "eat your hand off" I wasn't joking. And, when my dad comes into town, he will catch it!

He did. It took some will power, we had to switch on and off holding the pole...But we got him, late at night. Bubba was in the water (I know, scares me to death that man does), Steve was holding the pole, and I was holding the light. Steve kept the head above water while bubba stuck his hand in the water and grabbed this monster by the tail! Turtle man, step aside, Captain Big Fish is on his way.
