More Summer Fun

You always hear about "party coves" around lakes and everywhere. Well, we have our own "party cove" in Lansing. When the water is up runabouts and houseboats can drive right into it and park. This weekend we parked on the corner to the cove both days that we took the houseboat out. It was perfect! And what beautiful weather. We had a great time with great people and friends as usual. So for all of you Prairie people that line up that "party volleyball sandbar" (the one that quite possibly might have been the end to many a marriage over the years!), we have a good time in Lansing too and have many more sandbars than you will ever have. Check us out. On second thought don't! We kind of like not having to fight for a spot every weekend. Happy Hump Day!

Whatcha reading? looks like a western like your brothers read. And looks like you need a new 'kyle' bookmark.
We are coming to the Caley weekend with Rick and Pam - consider this your rsvp.
Guess we're getting a hotel room. Pam says!

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

 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
