One Last Hurrah!

Cooper was able to spend one last day with his pal Riley who moved to Virginia two days after our fun day at Bunker Beach(I knew I should have bought a pass this year!)a few moms and their kids from school came to hang out with Riley and his mom and siblings. A beautiful day, lots of kids, and some fun memories.

Up in the Northwoods

We spent a few days up north on Gull Lake. The weather was perfect..we put some hours on the jet ski(finally) and did lots of swimming.....and lots of golfing.

Fourth of July Fun

Great time spent with friends..fireworks(Wisconsin style-way more fun!)fishing, kneeboarding, kayaking,swimming,and fresh air..no Nintendo or TV for 48 hours.....kids and dog exhausted but in the best possible way.

Swim and Sleepover

Friday we met my friend and her kids to swim and then the girls came to my house and the boys went to her house for sleepovers. a fun way to spend a sunny day.

Brace Face

Bye bye messed up teeth.....the orthodontist told me he might need them on the bottom teeth too and might have to have them put back on when he's older too. sorry bud! Cooper wanted lunch at Jimmy John's and then he had his last Laffy Taffy for awhile. He did great and had a choice of 8 different colors for his bands and of course he picked all 8 colors...

Summer Academy Year 2

Cooper just completed his second year of a summer program. This year he wrote and illustrated his own book.The kids were able to meet an author and an illustrator of published works and learned all about the writing process. His book was "The Adventures of the Transparent Cow" and it is a hard bound book that he is able to keep.The drive to and fro was crazy (thank goodness we carpooled) and it was early(8 am!!) but seeing all the cool work he did made it all completely worth it...I am not going to lie though, today we slept in and I actually got to enjoy my coffee..

The Life Aquatic

Boy, are we loving the sunshine and hot weather. We went to the lake, finally got the jet ski out, met up with a bunch of friends at our gym pool, Quinn spent the day at a beach with her good friend KK while Coop got his braces on...it has been a great week so far..This is what summer is all about!
