Happy Birthday Dykstra's

March was the Big 30 for both Tom and Tracy. We all went out to help them celebrate by starting out at Buffalo Wild Wings with the feather bowling room. After that we headed over to the Wiskey River Saloon for some live country music and some great people watching. Welcome to the 30 club Dykstra's we love you both.

Florida

We had a wonderful vacation to Florida. Our Condo was great and very spacious and the Pool was amazing. The first day at the Pool we had the entire pool to ourselves and the other days we had a few people there but didn't have to fight for a chair.

Thursday night we went to the Dog Track. As you can see below we are still smiling. I won $51 on the 1st race we saw and none of us ever won again. We broke even by the time we left with the other 7 races we bet on and the beer Corey drank. Could of been worse I guess.

Saturday we spent the day at Disney World. I had not been to Disney since I was 10 years old so I was very excited to go back. And yes if you do the Math it was 20 years ago.

I didn't exactly follow all of the rules on the warning signs. This one was for the Safari and as I was told by Corey "your everyday driving is worse than going on the Safari ride"

Was very glad I went on this, it was great to see all of the animals so close up.

Magic Kingdom was also a ton of fun I remembered some things from when I was little.

The Castle was awesome to see of course.

We went on a few rides here too. I didn't think I went through the haunted castle when I was little but once we went inside it all came back to me.

I have to say it was much scarier when I was 10.

Sunday we went to a Tigers spring training game.

Verlander Pitched the first few innings not that it helped. Tigers loss 0-2 and had NO hits. I have never been to a no hitter game but was hoping if I saw a no hitter it would be with the Tigers pitching not hitting.

Monday was a cloudy day so we headed over to Universal Studios city walk. This place was very cool. It was free to get in (expect parking of course) and it had all kinds of shops and resturants.

We had dinner at Margaritaville of course.

This was one of Jimmy's real plane's

Overall it was a great trip. We had tons of fun and did LOTS of things. I have million photo's and could keep posting them for hours, but this gave you the highlights of our trip.

My new office.

Check out my new office. Ha! My computer took a dump this week or at least I blew up the wireless card and my computer science major of a husband claims his "hours are 8-5" Our modem is in the spare bedroom since we have cable run there and it is next to our actual office but with out a wireless card here is where I sit. I will say it is not so much fun to Facebook stalk when you can't lounge on the couch in front of the TV. According to Corey I may just need a new NIC card and I will be good as gold to sit on the couch again but if it is attached to the mother board I am screwed and need a new computer. As these terms mean nothing to me I am hoping Corey will be willing to work some overtime and take care of this problem soon so I can be back to relaxin' and checkin out what everyone else is up to via the web again soon.

1st Doctor Appt.

So today I had my first doctors appointment. I was lucky enough to need my yearly exam as well today. YEAH! I always hate that appointment but I have to say being pregnant and needing it didn't make things any better. She checked my uterus and all is looking good, It has not flipped yet (who new it needed to, these are just things my girlfriend forgot to mention) After chatting a bit with the Doc and mentioning some SERIOUS pain I had Sunday morning while rolling over in bed she laughed and said oh that was your uterus trying to flip not to worry it is normal and the pain is much much worse when it finally does flip. All I could think was GREAT can't wait for my uterus to start doing this crazy crap. But after all of this talk about my body parts while wearing a paper gown my doctor said my reward for needed the not so fun stuff today was going to be my first ultra sound! So here baby Kragt is.....

Pink or Blue?????

As many of you know by now Corey and I are PREGNANT! Our due date is October 7th. We have lots to look forward to in the months to come and can't wait for all of the help and advice from those of you who all ready have children. So far I have been very blessed by feeling good. No morning sickness or nausea yet. We are crossing our fingers I am going to skip this all together. I have been extremely tired and have been sleeping a ton, even more than normal for me and as many of you know I LOVE my sleep. This has been a wonderful process for us to go through so far. We can even joke about my pregnant alter ego that Corey has so nicely named "Helly". Helly has not made many appearance yet but I am sure as the days and months go by and my belly grows she will. I can't wait to keep you updated on how the next few months go. My first Doctors appointment is next week!!!!!

Lazy Sunday

We had a very lazy day over here at the Kragt home. The dogs even layed around ALL day long . As the days go on and the older Bailey and Sadi get the more they can't live with out each other. They seem to alway be as close as possible to each other. We are very blessed with these old pups and are very thankful they do love each other so much.

What a Weekend!

We had quite a weekend! Sorry I have no photo's. We started the weekend on Friday with some bowling and to Logan's for our friend Austin's (aka:Fish) Birthday then ended the night with a cocktail at Finnegan's and home to bed. Great night of fun was had. Saturday was a night out for Andrea's Birthday. We met at Logan's for some dinner and got some silly balloon hats made for Ange and then it was off to the bowling alley for a few games. We ended the night in good ole Sawbucks for some karaoke. I am still laughing over all of the nights events. Then came Super Bowl Sunday. We headed over to the Brinks to watch the game and pig out. We all had a late night Sat so it was very calm for a change, usually when we all get together it can tend to get a little crazy. After the game was done we were cleaning up and getting ready to leave when Ange noticed her purse was missing. Wallet minus cash and contents of her purse were all over the front seat of her car. We looked inside and outside for it and it was no where to be found. So the rest of us decided to check out our cars. Yup we got robbed. My entire purse was gone, Katy's purse was gone, Brandon's wallet was gone and his smelly gym pants. What seemed strange was they left GPS, IPODS, and Ange's laptop. They also stole Kevin's beer that was sitting right next to the door to get into the house. CREEPY! We called the police and as we waited for them to arrive we had our very own CSI Brandon do some investigating. We found a beer can that was dropped in the driveway to give to the officer for finger prints but I guess CSI Brandon should of used some gloves and not throw it in the trash. Then he headed across the street to the church that was having a super bowl party with the youth group and found out 2 kids left early.......so we thought oh must of been some teenagers. Now it was getting late, we filed our police report and headed home, I came to the conclusion my purse was gone forever along with all on the contents of it. Next morning I woke up early and got a email from Corey(I didn't have a phone it was in my purse) saying Ange got a call around 2am and they recovered our stuff and I could go to the Sheriffs Dept. to claim it. Still not being very optimistic I went to see what was left. I got my purse, wallet, cell phone, camera, and planner back. I lost, all of my cash, a Best Buy Gift Card, a granola bar (they must have been hungry after all the hard work it was to steal so much) my glove's, and all of the other junk that end's up in the bottom of a girls purse. At this point in the day I am feeling very lucky and mad thinking it was some stupid punk kids. THEN Ange gives me a call after she went and claimed what was left of her purse and informs me they found all of our stuff (minus Brandon's wallet and smelly pants) in a stolen car that was abandoned and that they don't have anyone in custody yet but think it may be a repeat offender that just got out of jail and normally hits up the Jenison area. What the heck! So lesson learned by me for sure. Always lock your car, never leave you purse in you car, and don't think you are safe even in your garage. Hope this never happens again and never happens to any of you........ Hudsonville is now the new Detroit, not sure what that makes Ghetto Holland Heights but I can tell you Bailey and Sadi aren't going to protect me they are both going deaf. Maybe I will have to get some big black and orange signs that say BEWARE OF DOGS!
