Summertime Fun

I got some shots yesterday of the kids playing with the neighbor kids on our swingset.

The weather has been beautiful here, in the 70's this weekend, though we could use some rain!

The little girl with Chase wants to marry him:)

Invisible fence-gotta love it!

I love our invisible fence! The dogs don't run away anymore and I don't have to worry when we open the door that they will run out. We can have fun in the yard and play fetch and Lacey is so much happier not having to be chained up. They picked it up really well and only got zapped a few times.

What a fun night

Last night we had such an enjoyable evening. Our neighbor's invited us to her parents house which is on a lake and we sat outside and grilled brats and I brought some Strawberry Blush wine which was really good. After that we started playing on the jet skis and that was the first time I had ever been on a jet ski, what fun! Mike took the kids for ride's on them and they loved it! Then we took a tractor ride down to see there horses at the stable her parents co-own with there friends. Then we got back to the house and made a bonfire and sat around that while Mike took them fishing off the dock and Alayna caught a fish! Then we were able to see the fireworks from where we were(Here the different towns have there own fireworks on saturday instead of on the 4th, I guess so people can see the big one's in Milwaukee on the 4th. )The only thing missing from this great night was Smores!

As I sat outside in front of the bonfire, watching the fireworks I reflected on my life and how much happier we are to be living here. I have only been here five months and we've made great friends with our great neighbors and my kids are making lifetime friends. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect night(wish it had been a little warmer)barbecue,jetskiing,fishing,horses,fireworks all in one night! This truely is.. the life!

Alayna's room

We painted Alayna's room yesterday and today we put her room all together. I think it looks really pretty now! Her room before was white on top and pink on the bottom. We just painted the white part purple and left the pink bottom as per Alayna.

Lacey the runaway dog

My dog Lacey came out of her collar last night while she was outside and got away. We went driving around the neighborhood looking for her and there was not a hair of her to be found. I was worried all night about her being outside.So this morning I get a call from the vet that the strays come in to and they had her! I had her microchipped so they were able to scan her and get my number. The irritaiting thing about it is the police had picked her up and taken her there and the police report said she was picked up on the corner of Harrison and Coventry. My house is on the corner of Harrison and Coventry so she was probably still on my property! I guess he didn't want to be bothered to come to my door and ask if it was my dog since she didn't have a collar on. But I'm glad we got her back! Today I called to schedule the installation of invisible fence so this doesn't happen again, hopefully!

I wish

that I had something interesting to blog about..I go to work everyday, I guess I could bitch about that and the drama that goes on there, how one girl that I work with changes moods like the wind, she's nice one minute and is up the biff tree the next, thank god I only work with her one time a week. She even cocks an attitude with the Dr. I work with. He asks for another cotton roll and she says why? Why? because he said so you stupid bitch, don't question just do.
The town I work in is a small redneck town and I've been in the east coast long enough to where I don't feel like I fit in anymore. After 5 yrs, the east coast has stayed with me I think.

I'm going back to MI for Memorial Day weekend. We are having a huge garage sale at my mom's this weekend and my sister and I are running it. I am selling the baby clothes I have and the high chair. I can't bring myself to sell the crib yet. I have a feeling I will have alot to do when I get there. My mom has kinda left everything up to my sister to do and I'm not tbere so I can't help her. We shall see I guess....

Brewers Game

Today I went to my first baseball game. One of Colin's vendors invited us to Milwaukee's hometown team the Brewers at Miller Park. We were in a booth with free food and our own bathroom. It was a pretty sweet way to see a game. There were a few other Golf Superintendents and there families there too and another little boy named Chase. It was fun and the kids had fun but Alayna wanted to leave early so we didn't see the whole game.
