Rowey powey

She built a fort in the living room and even found someone to enjoy it with her. 

Then we were off to the MD for her 11 year well check...and all is well!! She is growing, slowly but Shirley. She didn't want any pictures in her gown.

 And she survived a few shots too!!

office woes

Our 3M strips are failing us this last week. First my painting fell down...now today my 3 wire bin has crashed down too. 

Doesn't seem to be bothering my work buddy though.

oh kids

Gizmo is hanging out with me working today...

When the kids brought Gizmo in after being outside, they thought they would help him cool off with an ice pack so his breathing doesn't go downhill. So silly.

Cute all around

And here we are...last baseball game. Make-up game in Mukwonago.

 Eddie had a hard time on the mound tonight thanks to errors on defense for his teammates. So he struggled and his coach was concerned. But he got himself out of it. So proud. Couldn't pull of a win, but that is ok. Can't with them all.

summer lives on

 Lazy morning after a tranquilizer two days in a row. 

This kid and his man bun...I told him his forehead isn't getting tan so he finally took my recommendation. Dad and Grandpa aren't a fan.

Everyone is concerned about our pup after needing help the last two nights. But so far so good tonight. He is keeping Rowan company tonight. 

sad days filled with sunshine

Gizmo had a rough night last night. He has had a 'floppy' airway for a couple years now. But last night, he just couldn't catch his breathe. So for the first time ever we had to give him the tranquilizer medication they gave us a couple months ago. It definitely helped his breathing, eventually. But knocked him out. He was like a drunk dog that could barely walk. We gave it at like 9pm last night, it took a bit to kick in, but then all was good. He is still feeling the effects of it this morning. We had Nana and Papa over for some cribbage, and Twiggy came too...so thought it was the over excitement possibly. So no more dog visits from here on out for this old man.

The whole situation has us all scared. Not sure if this is a sign of what is to come.

Since Gizmo is doing okay this morning, we headed out on the lake again today. Nice and sunny out.

After some fun in the sun, we headed to Mazatlan for dinner. We got to eat outside and enjoy some margaritas. Ed decided to let the waitress surprise him and she came through with a mango/raspberry. Delish!! And I'm not a big frozen margarita lover. 

Kids living the high life!

Gizmo was good all day long...but for some reason tonight, something triggered his wheezing and bad breathing yet again. So after trying to let him figure it out for a bit, we medicated again. This time it took what seemed like forever for the medication to kick in. But once again, once it did. He was good to go. Relaxed for the night now and breathing fine. 

week recap...

bugs...all.over.the.outside.of.the.house

...to baseball games...check out this line up of fans! Game got moved last minute to the park we practice at; so seating was limited.

Game 2 of the week...back at Delafield sports commons. 

And then some reading for Rowan outside. 

hockey squared with some lake time

Started off this morning with the Squirt/Pee Wee open hockey at Nag...

Then took advantage of the sun, and headed out on the lake...

 Nana and Papa are in the process of buying/closing on this lake house...so we did a drive by to check it out. So excited for them!!

 There was a sailboat race that we had to scoot around on the lake today.

 Another picture of the house...

Then we headed to our favorite tie up spot and settled in. 

 This pad was so worth the money!!

Then we had to head home to get Eddie off to Squirt Fall warm up at Eble.

   

We thought we couldn't be this close to Kopp's and not enjoy a little dinner and dessert. 

Peanut butter roll for the win. 

upgrades...

Baseball pictures are in... 

 Nana and Papa are moving...they bought a home on Nagawicka Lake. So they are downsizing their mower, which means we are buying their John Deere riding lawnmower and selling the Simplicity. Yay us!

Kids doing their reading after school...Gizmo didn't want to be left out
