Here I am....

Well, I kept putting off updates until I had new pictures to add (they are my favorite party of reading others blogs) but I can never seem to find time to do both- So I am adding an update to my "friends" will stop giving me crap about never updating.
So, summer is half-way done so the stores tell me I should be getting ready for back to school. I do not agree - Can I get a hell yah, Amy? Summer should just go on and on. I love sleeping in a little and doing all of the fun summer stuff we do.
We took a mini-vacay to a cabin in Richard Bong State Park (no clever commentary here). I made my own FIRE several times. This was a lot different from the cabin in Buckhorn as we were on a prairie. Yes, I did stap on my bonnet and run through the field like Laura. Although, Stro did not call me half-pint he did offer me one! Good times! Looking for fishing holes we traveled through most of southeastern Wisconsin. The kids had fun swimming in the lakes (thank goodness they are not afraid of lake water). I made the best of my time laying on the beaches and reading.
The kids are in a day camp through Boys and Girls Club so they are busy Monday through Friday. Shaylin is whooping tail in T-Ball- she scored 5 home runs last week (although every hit is a home run and they don't keep score but in Amy's honor we DO keep score). I was just mentally preparing for a break from activities when Myles friend invited him to join a football team - so last week he started tackle football.
Other than that I am getting ready for a rummage sale- which means sitting in my basement for hours on end getting items sorted and priced. I will be glad to get rid of all of the things we have accumulated over the years and make money for more summer fun!
We still have state fair and a trip to Eau Claire for some Northern Wisconsin fun- Mom and Dads Cabin (and FIRE), Valley Fair (I know that is in Minnesota), the drive in and just relaxing!
Well, now I have blogged on and on!
