Cottage Weekend!

We headed up north for 3 days this past Memorial Day weekend. It was so nice to get away, hang out, and enjoy the beautiful weather! Last summer we weren't able to be up there that much between all the weddings, bachelor/bachlorette parties, etc... so we are hoping to spend more time up there this summer.
I was wondering how Macie would do up there, because last summer she was only up there once or twice, and she was only a few weeks old then. Last summer her little legs would fall through the cracks in the dock, she didn't sleep well at night, and she couldn't swim! Last year, Jake and I took off on the SeaDoo and she jumped in after up and sunk right to the bottom! Brad had jumped in after her and got her, but she couldn't figure out how to swim...so i was anxious to see if she picked up that skill yet ;)
Even though the water was freezing....Kylee and I put her and and she swam to shore ;) what a good puppy :) She loved playing with the big dogs next door, she loved the boat rides, and she loves having so much attention from everyone! Hopefully it will be a good summer!
Here are some pictures of our baby :)

Hanging out on the beach...

Not quite sure what to think about the water/little waves...

YEAH...I can swim!!!

New Job!!!

Next year I will be teaching preschool three mornings a week at Zeeland Christian! This is a job that I wanted last year, but didn't get. Then, last week Friday I got a call from their preschool director asking if i was still interested in the job. Of course i was!! So, I went in for an interview, and then got asked to come back and meet with the principal as well. When she called me back to see if I'd like the job, i could believe it!
I am really looking forward to the school year...after summer of course! :)

She thinks she SO tough!

About a week ago we were over at Jake's parents house, and he decided to go get one of his deer head from their basement and take it over to our house. (Those of you who know me, know that i was less than thrilled with this...i thought they looked lovely over there at Mom and Dad W's house!) Anywho, so he comes up the stairs and starts running after the dogs with it. Macie is having a fit just barking away. Since then, Jake has taken yet another deer head back to our house. For some reason, every time we go down stairs to take Macie outside, she runs as fast as she can and tried to get the deer hanging on the wall. She thinks she pretty tough! :)Barking away....She is quite the jumper ;)
