River Weekend Opening Up Good Friday 2010

So I know there are a lot of pictures in this collage, but just click anywhere on it and it will make everything bigger. Probably larger than you want! These are the very first pictures that I took when we got up to our houseboat, and then the pictures of the cleaning and work that we did on Good Friday before we headed back home. The Nuk N Futz fared very well once again, and we are looking forward to moving it to our slip just as soon as we have power for the season. And check out our new table and chairs for the patio. We got them online through a link Louie sent us this winter delivered to our door for around $200. Very early this spring when we were at Home Depot they already had this same set on display for $399. We saved a ton of money! Remember that when shopping for outside furniture. Clearance and closeout stuff can save you a bunch. We cannot wait to get back to the boat, and finish getting her ready to go for the summer. Maybe this weekend? We will know soon. Checking the forecast and rather Helen & Louie are still planning on going! Happy Hump Day!

Iowa Blizzard 2009

Image
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

Image
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

Image
 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
