Homecoming 2011

These are pictures from the game last Friday night at Bellevue (WV 41 Bellevue 14). Yes it seemed like a long trip but next Friday we will leave around 3:30 to head to NE Gooselake which is almost 3 hours away. Yippee! Already planning on packing a picnic like supper so we don't have to stop and just eat sandwiches and stuff on the way. The good thing is we are staying home that weekend instead of heading to the houseboat after the game. The bad news is that still means another 3 hour trip back to our house afterwards! Anyway this Friday night is WV's Homecoming and tonight is the pep rally and jersey auction. It is always an annual event that raises funds for the booster club. This year rumor has it that it is a silent auction which I personally believe is a good thing. Too many years I see people bidding stupid amounts that really no one should or want to have to pay just to donate to the booster club. So if the rumor is true I am one to believe this is a great change. When there is so much unemployment and hard times in the US we should focus on the important things. Not spending money foolishly on unnecessary things. I heard they made so much money on the auction last year that they knew this year they needed to change it. Good for them! And for everyone that spent way more than they planned on last year, well it sucks to be you but sounds like maybe from here on out it has changed to a positive thing. Good luck WV Friday night and may all of our football players stay healthy! Have fun and enjoy your Homecoming celebration! And have fun out on the field. That is what it is all about right?

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
