Missouri over it's banks.

Missouri River over it banks.  We took a drive today and this is what we found.  We went to DeSoto Bend last weekend and the river was high then but I never thought it would get this high.  A lot of it is under water.  This picture was taken where you can park and watch the river.  We might of been able to drive through it but I didn't want to take a chance.
This one is looking the other direction where they had  
just put in a new bike run last year.  And most of it is
under water.


This one is by the Burtrand where it sunk.  You used to be like a beach like and you could have a picnic there.  If you look close enough you can see the picnic table in the water.

In this one you can tell where the river begins or ends.

Now we are going to where Little Sioux Camp ground is and show you the river from there.  These pictures were taken north of DeSoto Bend.

The one picture is of Eric going after a stick so he can start building the Ark.  LOL

Sorry I have been really bad about posting things but I guess things have been pretty boring around here.  These will be my pictures 30-36.

The SHAKE!!

Oh it's almost like heaven!  I just so love these shakes, the Shamrock shake that is.  Eric and I went for another drive yesterday afternoon and stopped in Dennison and I seen that they had my ultimate most favorite shake in the world.  So after we ate a hamburger and a few fries we got us a shake and shared it.  Well Eric had most of it but that is okay, I still got some!!!!!  Did I make you hungry for one?  They are out in your nearest Mc Donald's.  Picture number 24 of 365.

Well Travis this is the closest look you are going to get to the wedding dress.  As you can see the dress bag grew legs and hands.  Thanks to Mom # 2 (Jackie)  I just love this picture it shows what fun we had today and the tears that came from mom (ME).  I think it just hit me like a tone of bricks that my baby is really getting married.  I don't think it would of bothered me as much but I helped her put her dress on this time.  Which was very special!  :0)  Eric's mom and my mom both got to see her try on her dress.  She looked soooooo pretty in that dress today and I know she will knock Travis's socks off when he see's her.  Eric hasn't see the dress yet but when peanut comes home again for a weekend I am sure we will show him the dress.  He wants to wait for her to show him the dress how sweet is that.  

Thanks for stopping buy!  Have a great Friday!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Well here it is Valentines day and also the start of race season!!!  As normal we tried to watch the whole race with out falling asleep.  We didn't make it,  We both fell asleep at different times during the race.  Kinda a funny if you think about it, we have been so excited about race season starting and we fall asleep.  What kinda fans are we?  Must not be very good ones or just tired old folks.  LOL!  


Here are my pictures of the day.  #17 - #21

We had a very nice quite Valentines day together.  Here is a picture of us after church.  Eric looks like I scared him to death!!


Here is what my Valentine gave me for Valentines day.  I just love them all.  The roses smell wonderful!!  I have the sweetest guy in the world.  He is so good to me!

Okay I saved the best for last.  This is a picture of the cookie that I made for Eric for Valentines day, as you see it has been eaten already before I gave it to him.  Word to the wise if you make your husband/loved one something don't leave it on the counter so they can get to it.  LOL!!  Have a Great Valentines day everyone!!!!

This picture was taken on my way to go and look at wedding dresses (Jan. 19, 2010) I really thought the drive that day was so pretty. I really hope you enjoy my pictures. Have a great Saturday!!

Went to Hobby Lobby today and was looking at flowers for Stephanie's weeding and found some beautiful flowers, so I took some pictures and this one is my favorite one that I took. I think it looks like an old fashioned card. What do you think?

#11 0f 365

Well not to bad I have done three days in a row now think that is a record? LOL Today I am not doing food, I took a picture of my Zune, that my family had gotten me a year ago for Christmas. It holds all and I do mean all of my CD's that I own 3,184 songs are on it right now, and I think four of my favorite movies. Wild Hogs is one of them. I just love my toy. The song rang from 1950 to present time with a lot of country and a little of rock and roll. Of course Elvis and George Strait in my Zune is a must. hehehehe

Picture 9 of 365

Today's picture was brought to you cause my mom got these CD's in the mail today. I tried to order them from QVC a few weeks ago while I was house sitting but I couldn't get logged into their computer. She let me down load them on to my Zune I am so excited. Thanks mom for letting me do that. Your the best!!! I love his Christian and Gospel music.

I am sure you will get tired of seeing frost pictures, but I just think it is so beautiful out when it frosts. Here is today picture. #5 of 365!
Have a happy picture taken day!!!

Beautiful, foggy, frosty morning!

What a beautiful morning it is. God has been working over night and this is what we woke up to. These pictures was taken over at our neighbors pine tree. Just love the colors in these pictures. Everything is just soo pretty this morning. The fog is even pretty, if that can be possible?

This last picture is #4 of 365 pictures of the year.

I hope others take this challenge it is a lot of fun. I will be posting more pictures that I took this morning later in the day. Happy shooting every one!!!! :0)

Blast from the past

Here is # 3 for the year! This is my loving hubby looking through some of his OLD albums that we left at his sisters house and she brought them to the birthday party to give to us or Jordan Eric's little brother. We had more than 250 albums between the two of us when we moved to Iowa. (Most were Eric's) We had given Jordan a bunch of them years ago but never gave him the rest. We are entrusting him with our treasures..... We also have a picture of Stephanie when she was little in front of all the albums...maybe if I find it I just might post it some day. :0) Thanks for stopping by!

One way?

Picture # 2 here for today's post. Here at the end of our street is the city park so I thought I would walk down and see if I could walk in the park cause it has frosted and it is really pretty in the park and I came across this sign that one shows me that it is closed in but I found it funny you can't really even go one way. I know I have a funny sense of humor but I could help my self. This picture taken every day I thought would be a challenge but I think it might be easy!!!
