My wonderful BFF Jennifer, sent me to Milwaukee to play for my birthday. They bought me tickets to the Toby Keith and Eric Church concert at Summerfest, we played around, it was just so much fun!!!!
Rob took us to 'The Safe House" it was a hoot! It was a "confidential" place in the center of town and we each spent a bunch of the time running around finding little hide-outs. It was so much fun!
The secret entrance is somewhere in here...
Rob playing hide and go seek... looks a little like Jack Nicholson I think!
After playing and finding our way around we headed out the secret exit. (We just COULDN'T go out the regular exit could we?)
Booooorrrrinnnnng!!!!! These guys literally took the easy way out!
The old buildings were amazing!
Restaurant on the river...
Miller Park... They weren't in town... :-(

Fountain Fun!
We love to go down to the fountains on a hot summer's day for a few minutes to cool off.
He looks like a dinosaur here, but he's really laughing at the fact that he's squirting Michael as Michael is trying to dry off and get warm... What are little brother's for?
Yep, that's snow! Three weeks ago Donner Summit was closed due to snow! Now, it's 90 degrees!
They look like beached seals.

Happy Birthday Jared!
It's hard to believe that my little firecracker Jared is now double digits!!!!! Seriously WHERE does the time go? In the morning Jared opened a few things from us before trotting off to summer day-camp with "Doughboy's Donuts" in tow and 3 dozen donut holes to share.
In the evening after I picked them up and I got off work, we had a little family get together. I made cake and ordered pizza. MMMMMMM
Make a wish....
Did it come true?
Weirdo!
Yummy!
Happy Birthday Jared!!!!!

Our New Puppy!
Last week we officially added a new someone into our home. Since we knew we were moving into a house, I began looking for a good Collie breeder. This is my third collie. I had one when I was little, and one as an adult. I just LOVE the breed! I spoke to many breeders and finally decided on a woman in Texas and bought our little "Duncan" at 5 days old. (The first time I spoke with her he wasn't born yet. ;-) ) Soooooo after many phone conversations, emails, pictures, etc he finally arrived at our airport. A good friend went with me and we were there an hour early and anxiously awaited his arrival.
Here he comes!!!!
He's FINALLY HERE!!!!!
Duncan and Ruby finally meet
I picked up the kids and they were SOOOO excited to finally see him in person. We had narrowed it down to three names and finally after meeting him we decided on "Duncan".
It's so funny how much he has changed in just a week's time! his ears no longer look like this.
Gotcha!!!!!
I just love this little face!

Cai Lynn's Anthology
All year long the kids work on their anthologies. The book is bound and they have a party for all of the available families to attend. both boys did one in both 2nd and 3rd grade. They still all look at each other's books. They are so cute!
She's reading her dedication....
Her amazing 2nd grade teacher.
I just can't believe my youngest in now in 3rd grade!!!!!
Squirrel!
When we moved in, my mom's 2 big dogs moved out and the squirrel family quickly moved in. Ruby is a terrible watch dog and frankly the squirrels don't even care when she's in the yard. :-/
To the average on-looker they're cute with their chubby little cheeks completely full with our bird seed, but look closely at the stick next to the fence. It used to be a really cute little fruit tree. It is now stripped and the blossoms were pretty yummy I suppose.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO when I knew I was finally moving into a house I began looking for another collie to patrol the yard one day. I have had two collies in the past and wanted a third. They are wonderful with children and have an amazing demeanor.
One day I will finally have my yard back! :-)
