Happy Monday




Here are a few pictures of the first flowers to pop up in the yard around the house this spring. Crocus and the daffodils ready to bloom. I spent Saturday out in the yard (after cleaning was done inside of course-yep my OCD)raking the whole lawn and burning the sticks and grass. Bruce helped me finish when he got home in the afternoon as I was about "spent". Or just on a mission and determined to get it done! I am glad that I had my gloves on because I'm pretty sure my hands would be covered in blisters if not. But the yard looked great and Bruce woke up this morning and thought our friend had come and thatched it. But nope. It was just that I did that great of a job raking. Yay me! And today I started cleaning out the garage after we got back from shopping and in a couple hours I had Ty and Bruce joining in. It is amazing how much can get done when everyone pitches in. And we all know that when Momma is happy everyone is happier! Thank you to my guys for their help. May everyone have a great week ahead. Still hoping for very little moisture north of here as we continue to watch the river levels for all of our houseboats. And in general we don't want to see anyone deal with flooding so praying for dry weather. Have a good week!

**Once again not sure why the pictures showed up when I did this post last night on the laptop but when I checked it just now from my office computer the picture doesn't show up. Must be a problem with the poor old laptop! I will fix when I get home tonight. The flowers are very pretty I promise!

**Fixed Finally! Sorry it took me so long to sit down and upload again.

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!
