Summer So Far

I must say I thoroughly enjoy being a teacher with the summer off. Last summer I taught summer school but a break was much needed.
The first week of summer I participated in a 5 Day Autism Training. It was a great training and I learned so many good ideas that I actually can't wait to get back in my classroom and implement!

One day last week we took a few friends to see AJ's grandparents at Lake Delhi. That was when it was in the upper 90s so boating felt amazing!

We decided it was time again to shave Roy- this time not quite as short. He gets very hot in the summer. He was a good boy and waited very patiently!!

Sturgis Falls was a fun but busy weekend. It was our 5 year reunion so that meant our good friend Ben who lives in Texas was going to be in town. We picked him up Saturday morning at the CR airport and took him back Sunday evening. And we had our first open house that day!!

These are good friends that go back from elementary: Annie and Lyssa!!

And here is Ben!

Ok last thing! We had a birthday party grill out last night for my birthday, Abby's #1 birthday, and Aj's parents dog Charlie's #4 birthday!! We also have had my brother's dog over so it was a little bit of a zoo :)

While I was Gone

This is kind of a late post, but I love the pictures too much that I needed to put it up :)

AJ seemed to have way too much fun Memorial Day weekend spending most of the time having parties/hanging out at his parents house. I was in Nebraska with my parents meeting my brother at a half way point- he lives in Colorado.

Aj and Jacob decided it would be fun and rather amusing to switch clothes.

You will have to look at Jacob's feet- Aj made him keep his pinky toe outside the sandal since that is how it is officially worn by Aj.

He is lookin pretty good to me ;) Maybe they will do this more often!?

Wow I can't believe we have been married for 3 years. I think it was this past year that seriously flew by.

I have loved our busy life together. We always have some kind of project instore for us.

The next one I believe is putting our house up for sale and building?!

I told Aj, "I thought we were just going to relax next." But then I thought, duh I am married to AJ- we just don't do that :)

Here's some pictures down memory lane....

Painting the House

The house color needed a change. We didn't want to put new siding on, so we painted. Luckily and thankfully we had some help from our wonderful friends and family.

Here are some before pictures.

Here are a few pictures of some of the hard workers!

Here's AJ taking down our beautiful basketball hoop that was never used until that day when Joe played some one on one with our dogs.

Joe and Wil had some relaxing time together.

Kelli did great on the white trim!

Here's Nikki riding Abby :)

Now here's some pictures of the mostly finished product. We still need to paint the white trim up top on the house everywhere and a few touch ups. Then of course get new gutters. There is always something to do!
