DUKE

Here are some recent pictures of our spoiled puppy, we wouldn't have it anyother way..he loves to be crazy - loving - cuddly - kissing - dukie

I'm so tired... it's hard being a puppy!


Posing for mom, even though dad's giving me bunny ears...


Duke think he needs to lay inbetween us, make sure we know he's their.


Duke watching outside, he likes to let us know if anyone is passing by, or if he can see another doggie outside, we think he has little dog syndrome :)


Am I cute or what?

SILVER LAKE

This past weekend we went up to Silver Lake, the best riding we have had! The dunes had all of the favorites! Their were large hills to climb, test hill was a triumph to get up, water holes, straight aways for speed, tree limbs to ride over, and breath taking views! On Saturday the dunes were crazy busy, so we went to Lake Michigan, the water was freezing, but it was beautiful to look at! We decided after this weekend we really need to get me my own 4 wheeler, we borrowed our friend Jeff's. They won't let you ride 2 people in the dunes, even though ours is made for 2 people.


View up the beach .. very beautiful

The light house, one of many on Lake Michigan

Looking out over Lake Michigan, it was freezing! We couldn't believe people were crazy enough to get in the water!

A view of the light house/beach/dunes it was so beautiful!A wave got the best of Brad, it was so cold!Us at Lake Michigan, I am getting better at taking the pictures of us together...Building a fire .. it got cold fast up their, it got down to about 60 degrees that night, good thing we packed extra blankets!Testing the waters ... I didn't have my camera out yet, but shortly after this Brad tried to go through and the 4 wheeler was up to his feet and sinking nose first!Where to now, I loved the views from the top of all of the hills!Brad loves to run logs/trees over for some reason....Brad going up test hill, test hill is the steepest hill in the dunes, it tests your ride, their are a lot of people who try to get up and roll back down, get stuck, we seen a lot of trucks who thought they could make it and ended up rolling back down the hill ....Sara going to the top of test hill ... this was on about try #10, it's much steeper than it even looks in the pictures!Brad checking out Lake Michigan on the other side of the dunes

BACK TO COLLEGE

As you may or may not know I started back to college this past Monday ... is it going ok ... with my current status of not working (hopefully that will change very soon) I decided this would be a good time for be to go back and finish my criminal justice degree. I will hopefully be working with juveniles as a probation officer, or something along those lines. It will take me about a year and a half to finish. All of my classes are on line, so I have no excuses to not go to class like I use to do. The professor puts the lectures, slide shows, homework, and quizzes on line with the date that they are all due. It's very nice! I will keep everyone posted on how classes are going.
