Best Picture EVER

So my pictures didn't turn out very good but this is a paint on canvas that Sharon (SIL photographer-the BEST photographer ever) painted of Ava at 1 month and Bruce brought it home today. This is exceptional and I am proud to have it on our wall. Much better investment than all of the prints hanging! You are so talented Sharon and I feel so happy and grateful that we ended up with this. Sending a check in the mail tomorrow. This is just so precious. And look at her little biceps! She is unbelievable and I never would have believed that the love for grandchildren could be so out of this world! Thank you Sharon for all that you do. Ava will be watching over us this Thanksgiving in the dining room. I am up for Turkey Day, right? Thank you for doing this paint. It is certainly one of our most precious posessions and she is gorgeous! She makes a great addition to our decor!

**Reading this now the sentence about Ava "watching over us" doesn't sound quite right.  I just meant that she will be right there with us when we are all together eating dinner.  Hopefully she herself will be sitting with us and getting some mashed potatoes and gravy!!!  And Sharon informed me it isn't a paint just a photo on canvas.  Whatever!  It is still gorgeous.  Had me fooled for sure!

Seriously I thought it was one of your paints. Anyways it is awesome and we love it! And as Bruce said it was time to get rid of our Vegas caricature (sp?) drawing picture that was in that spot! This looks much better there.

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
