Back Home

We have been gone on vacation for 9 days and just got back last night for anyone that didn't know.  I didn't post anything while on vacation (obviously), and actually for the most part not being on the computer or watching any TV (except for a DVD one night) was awesome.  Guess if Bruce can live without TV for 9 days I certainly could.  Although it was the first thing he did when he walked in the house.  Turned it on and started flipping channels.  I definitely have pictures of Colorado family here over the 4th, and new ones of grand baby Ava both on her first nights stay on the houseboat and from tonight her 1 month old date the 11th.  Will try and get some posts together very soon.  We took today off to get caught up after being gone and I still feel like I didn't get everything accomplished.  But I am glad to be back home and see the kids and Ava.  Everything will get back to normal soon.  It will take me forever to catch up and read all the blogs I follow.  Hopefully back to work morning will be quiet as it was when I left.  There were some elevators hit by the bad weather and wondering if any of our customers were affected.  Guess I will find out tomorrow morning bright and early!  Everyone have a good week and I promise to get something up this week at least!  I have to admit I was being a slacker some before vacation so I will try and do better!

***And no those are not Bruce's toes!  They are my friend Kris' (and hers are much prettier than Bruce's!), when we took their runabout to La Crosse for a day as they were on vacation the same week as us.  We had a blast with them just like last year!

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
