Hands On Art Class:

As a WI teacher we are required to take credits to keep our license.  I took a class this summer for a week called Hand's on Art.  The next couple posts are some of the work we had to do.

We celebrated Father's Day, my brother's b-day, my aunt's b-day and Dad's b-day at my parents with all of our relatives. We had great weather and yummy food!  
Even Dakota loved the day out in the sun by the pool!

Summer in Milwaukee equals festivals and fireworks.  Today we went to 3 festivals!  First we headed to the Summer Solstice Festival on North Ave to see our friends band perform, then we headed to St. Roman's Church festival, and ended the night with Hartfest at Hart Park near our house.  

I'm Not A Pilot- our friend's band, THEY ROCK!

The Brewer's Racing Brat was at Hartfest dancing the night away

While babysitting, look what started to peek out!  

This made me laugh so hard every time I saw it!   
Such a cutie!

One thing I love about summer/warm weather is drying my clothes on the clothesline in the backyard!

In other baby news.... We have a baby robin living in our backyard!  How cute is he!  He doesn't know how to fly very well.  His mom left while I was outside, and I was nervous she wouldn't come back.  In my head I kept hearing him say "are you my mother?"

He kept looking up to the sky for his mom!

I had the pleasure of babysitting my friends 4 month old for two days!  We had a blast together!
I had to take a few pics!

Our flowers are in full bloom!

I have a little crafting space down in the basement, but it has since become a dumping ground!  As I said in previous posts my parents are moving and have now made the kids take all the "childhood possessions" with them.  So I have been going through boxes and boxes of memories and deciding on what should stay and what should go.  I hope to have my crafting space back soon!  
Summer also = time to organize parts of the house that have gone haywire!

My parents have been building a new house to grow old in for the past year.  Here is a picture of them in front of their front door.  (We call it the Shrek door because its sooo tall)
How cute are my parents!  They are ageless!

Whenever summer comes I like to set a goal of books to read.  I have shelves of books at home that I have read, but I also have A LOT of books that I would like to read and haven't made time for it.  I am currently in a bookclub that reads a book a month, so I will be trying more intentionally to read books in between my "required" reading.  Any other good recommendations out there?

Brewer/Cubs game with the teachers from my school.  We had a blast kicking off the summer!

Cheering on the racing sausages!

Today I tried a new recipe before I went tailgating at the Brewers game.  Its brownies with cookie dough in them!  They were tasty, but to be honest I don't know that I tasted the cookie dough....Super easy

Alright...... this doesn't happen EVER, but Kyle and I ate Sonic in bed the other night!  I am embarrassed as I write this!  It was my first trip to Sonic and it happened to be late at night.  This was a one time occurrence, but it sure was yummy!

Each winter and spring season we need to change out the storms and screens on the first floor windows of our house.  We have gotten pretty speedy at doing it, but we needed to go back and replace some hooks to make sure the windows aren't flapping in the wind.  Here is Kyle in all his handy work.  Sorry for the poor quality! 

Ta Da!

At the end of the school year I had the staff over for a cookout.  It happened to be our administrative assistant's birthday as well!  We had a blast giving her "white elephant" gifts and celebrating with cake!

Moved some rocks from the front yard and made them more useful around my plants in the back
