Tyler's Track Meet

Went to Ty's track meet last Thursday at Fredericksburg. Our 8th grade boys kicked butt. I don't think they lost a relay. And the 7th grade boys did very good, too. Tyler is pretty new to hurdles but got 2nd in his heat so he did just fine. The only thing that totally sucked about the meet was the fact that our coach (freshman in college) did not know that in Jr. High the kids can only be in 3 running events. Well, most of our boys were in 4 running events and had been doing it all year without knowing they were doing anything wrong. So to make a long story short, our boys should have won the meet and the trophy but got disqualified because they didn't know any better and someone turned them in. I felt so bad for Cody (coach) and the boys. But they know they totally kicked butt and would have even if they hadn't been in 4 running events. We'll just have to get em' the next time. Great job Wapsie Valley Jr. High Boys!!!

Iowa Blizzard 2009

Here are a few pictures I took at my work the morning after our lovely Iowa blizzard last week. The snow was 27 inches in front of our office door and the snow was unbelievable all around the building. It was so tall it almost completely covered up the gas pumps. Maybe that will be the last big snow storm of the year. Think we could get that lucky?????? We can hope but I think we are doomed since this is Iowa and that was our first of the year! Everyone stay warm!

Ty Football 2010

So finally remembered to take the camera to Ty's game Friday night and snap some pictures. We won 45-0 and Ty had 3 TD's but one was called back. I don't know what his class will think when/if they ever lose. They haven't lost a game since grade school. Wouldn't that be awesome if they never did lose one? I think our varsity team will be a force to be reckoned with when they are juniors and seniors. Not saying that the varsity team currently isn't. They haven't lost this year either. Love football season but sad to see summer almost over! Go Wapsie Valley Warriors!

Congratulations Kyle & Taylor

 Friday night after the game Kyle proposed to Taylor and she said yes!  We have a new engagement in the family and couldn't be happier for them both.  I even got to be in on the secret and play an important role for Kyle.  Since he was coaching he of course couldn't just leave the game, so he enlisted Mom to go to his car unnoticed right before the end and grab the ring case out of the glove box and the long stem rose out of a cooler in the trunk.  I was pretty sneaky apparently because Taylor didn't even notice that I left.  Of course I stayed away from her somewhat on purpose so I wouldn't open my mouth and let something slip to give it away.  Kyle looked over to me right after the game ended and I shook my head "yes" to let him know I didn't let him down.  He grabbed Tyler and Taylor's brother off the field and said "follow me".  Then he just dropped to a knee and proposed.  I didn't have time to recruit a friend to take some pictures
