Sloppy Joe's for lunch today,,,,,,woo-hoo!

My Internet connection was down yesterday so I was unable to post. Back in business today!

Weather is good. Rain today but nice the rest of the week. It is actually going to be cool, low 80's.

Both of the kids are done with the ball season. It is a good break for them. Now it is just weight lifting, basketball, volleyball and football practices.....Doesn't seem like much of a break does it?

Jess was selected for All Conference Honorable Mention. It isn't too bad considering the team only won 2 games all year. That makes the year a complete sweep. First team all-conference in Volleyball, Second team all-conference in Basketball, State Champion in Track and now Honorable Mention in Softball. Not a bad year.

The track coach at Iowa State called and wants us to come for a visit Friday. This would be an "unofficial" visit. I found out that the NCAA allows for 5 official visits and the college pays for everything. The ISU coach said they do them in the fall and usually take the recruits to a football game. It should be fun.

We have also heard from the university of Minnesota but he said most coaches won't call until August or the fall because that is when they will schedule the official visits.

Drew is loving the scooter and drives it around all the time. It is licensed with a plate and he has his license so he is legal and loving it.

I bought Jess a new car, well not new but newer than what she had. Her car needed a bunch of work and I found a deal on a 97 Saturn sports Coupe. It is a cute little car and runs well. Not sure what we will do with the other car.

Work is going well. Not a busy as we usually are but there is still a lot to do. I hope it stays that way.

Ok, off to start.
