Moon Rising On The Mississippi

Friday night our houseboat was the only one that stayed overnight on the beach so we of course had a fire so that we could have s'mores with our Colorado family that were visiting for the holiday weekend, and just because of course we always have a bonfire when we stay out on the sandbar. When the moon started rising behind the trees and bluff it was just an awesome sight. I took many pictures to try to catch it before, during, and after all while the barge was coming up river. These are the ones that came out the best. It was a much more beautiful sight than my photography skills could capture, but I just had to share. We enjoy sights like these regularly when at the river. I guess that is why we look forward to summers so much and spending relaxing weekends on the sandbar with family and friends. Hope everyone had a very enjoyable Memorial Day weekend. And glad that we got to share campfires with our family members from Colorado that we do not see often enough. Emily & Vicente can come to our bonfire for s'mores and stay on our houseboat anytime!

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!

Happy Birthday Hildegard

Today is my sister in law Helen's birthday. I love this gal. We have been friends for a very long time, and we truly have a blast with each other. Thank goodness we can spend a lot of time together because we spend literally EVERY weekend together April through October at the river on our houseboats. We do crazy stuff, we cook awesome food, and we just hang out and talk. And in the off months or when we don't see each other, my car just seems to turn down her road when I am heading home from shopping. Even when Bruce has just waxed it and done the wheels. Right Helen? Oh well he washed it again quick when I got home. He knew I had to have my fix of "Hellie"! I love you Helen Hildegard like a sister and I know that we are having an awesome day moving and winterizing our boats for the season on your birthday! May we have many more river summers to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries with our friends and family. Oh, and this winter when you are having th...

Most Of Us

Okay I just had to post this picture even though I did post it with all the college move in slideshow pictures. This is the emotional morning that we left to move Kyle into his dorm. I think this is a really good picture of all of us except obviously Cole is missing. But he always tries too hard and "sometimes" messes up pictures, so I think it is safe to say this is a pretty good picture of Bruce and I with 2 of 3 favorite children in the world! See.....I said you are ALL FAVORITE CHILDREN!!!!!!! Just wait until there are grandchildren.....none of you will make the blog very often!
