The Big Game & Skate Park 3-28-2010




The  Game UNI in the sweet 16.  The boys enjoyed the time with Grandpa.
Even Grandma was into the game.  We were sad with the end result of 52-59!!
The Skate Park.  The boys enjoyed their time and Dad & I with the girls were able to get in some exercise.



Poor Max really tired out today with the hour walk.  So exhausted she couldn't get enough energy to get in the car.  What a beautiful day.  Just wish there was not that cold wind.
The girls loved the Lagoon go for a little swim and a big drink.

Picking on the Elderly is not nice!

I believe it a shame a couple weeks ago a neighbor on Cottonwood Lane in Cedar Falls chose to call in a 77 year old man for chopping ice in front of his home.  Funny when he fell on the ice in front of his mailbox, no one came to his aid.  But when he was clearing a path at 7:30 at night he gets called in for disturbing the peace.  Really I was sitting in his home at the time I could barely hear it.  It's funny how many neighbors know of my parents ailments, yet no one steps forward to help them during this long winter. I realize that's my job as their child.  However my Dad still enjoys doing things for himself.  And sometimes I have to sit back and observe, jump in if he pushes himself to far.  The Cedar Falls Police Department handled the call with respect for my Dad which I appreciate.  It's just sad that people chose to waste an officer's time in this manner.  According to one neighbor it bothered the whole neighborhood.  What a way to reciprocate for all the help my Dad did for neighbors over the years at no cost to them.  I have an Elderly neighbor and I would never treat her in this manner, in fact I look for ways to help her.  Again Shame on you.

I wrote this due to the fact a couple Wednesdays ago Ardeth chose to call in Dad for chipping ice at 7:30 at night. And told him the next day if people are making money they can be noisy it doesn't bother her.  But apparently chipping ice does.   So I hope she has no rotting wood in her house, as it would seem that maybe an unbearable noise.  I know she to is elderly, however she would best be served taking anal behavior out on someone else.  He again was not noisy, he just had a manual ice chipper.  And I had to keep checking on him because he was being so quiet.

This and That


Dan in his new hat from Kris & Kelly.  It is so cool, it matches his leather.

My new indian necklace from Kris & Kelly,  I love mine too.

The boys all were given these cool bullet chains.  Which they love.  Although Eddie Ray can't wear his to school.  Thanks Kris & Kelly.

Big Dan enjoying his hobbies

He loves photography and building model cars.  Then in right perspectives making model cars look like a regular car on the street.
