Lunch Cruise on the Mississippi River

On Wednesday, August 24th, we went on a lunch cruise on the Mississippi River with Sonja's work........MindWare. It was so fun! :) Below are some pictures we took while on the Paradise Lady.

Our Great Nephew.........William James Tiberius Jodeit

Yesterday, our niece, Tiffany, had her baby boy. She & Harrison named him William James Tiberius Jodeit...............J.T. Tiffany posted these pictures on her Facebook page & my sister pulled them off & e-mailed them to us.

Camping 2011

Todd & I took 8 of the nieces & nephews camping this year at the end of July. It was a very hot weekend, but we all had a great time.

Luke & Justin in Justin's tent. Luke just came with Angela & Eric when they helped set up & take down the campsite.

Centerville had fireworks on Friday night. We went down to the lake to watch them & it was really cool. :)
