Happy Birthday Dad Odneal

So we took Mom & Dad O's pontoon out for a ride Saturday and literally the "darned old motor fell off" as Bruce put it! We were pulling into the sandbar at the cove and he was pretending to be the Flinstones and pushing the throttle up and all of a sudden the motor fell off the back of the pontoon. Luckily friends were there to help and they saved the motor and roped it up so we could get towed in. Bruce and Louie of course had it pretty much fixed completely a couple hours after we got back in to the dock. They are awesome. This is a great picture of Mom & Dad enjoying the pontoon ride even though Bruce is being a total dork and not wanting his picture taken. Happy Birthday Dad Odneal. I hope you enjoyed your day with family and friends as much as I enjoyed the weekend with you!

This IS a great picture! Mom told me about the pontoon 'ride' - too bad you didn't have a video!

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!
