Over & Out Until The New Year

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and have a very Happy New Year!  I am so enjoying being off work for 10 days with Bruce.  We actually did spend yesterday afternoon (after a big breakfast with the boys) watching movies all day long.  We decided after the fact we should have traded off couches so we didn't feel "couch butt" on the same cheek.  If we would have moved around regularly we wouldn't have that.  We know now that if we are fortunate enough to get one of those days again this week we need to do that!  So anyway for the most part our Christmas was awesome.  All our kids and their significant others should feel like we gave them a great Christmas.  And I do know that most of them do for sure!  I know when I was their ages I didn't get anything near what they do.  Our family is both blessed and spoiled.  Most of us know that we are far too fortunate during the holidays!  I probably will not post again until the new year so just wanted to do a post and tell everyone that I hope Santa brought you what you needed and/or wanted and have a very blessed New Year!  I am looking forward to 2012.  Opened Ava's college savings account today and couldn't believe how much money her froggy bank had in it!  Going to have to keep stealing Grandpa's change and putting it in there.  Oh and we all (Bruce, Me, Kyle, Taylor, and Tyler) all stopped by to see Grandpa & Grandma Odneal on our way home from the Caley Christmas as they were heading out today to Texas for the winter.  They were very happy that we all did since they are usually already down there on Christmas and spent the day by themselves.  So glad that we did stop.  We heard from them today and they are on their way and doing good.  I just realized how long this post is so I will just end it and say that I will be posting regular again after the New Year!  Everyone enjoy you holidays with your loved ones.  My Christmas crap is in the totes and ready to go to the attic when I get up there and spend the day cleaning it out tomorrow.  Look out fire ring because there is some crap to burn and get rid of!  Happy Wednesday everyone!

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!

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!
