Last night Carol and Rudy rode into town with Ragbrai. We had a fun evening visiting with them. Tyler especially loved the Droid and Texas football talk with Rudy. My favorite was Carol's bedtime story "The cream can catastrophe." You should have her tell it to you sometime. Grandpa also knows the story;)
Before leaving Tyler gets a pic with team "Los Vagos."

Last night while Tyler started his first day of detasseling mom and I went to a dinner and speaker in Alta. Her name is Staci Besch and she brought alot of humor to what it's like being a woman. When Tyler got home he was hungry and tired. He's counting the dollar signs that will add up in the next few weeks and that will make it all worth it.
This past weekend the Smith's came to Storm Lake for a wedding. Its so fun to see them all on a regular basis. Chloe is really starting to say "Brigett" and "Tyler" clear now.

After Tyler had a fun day with friends at KP and Mom and I had a fun day together, we all met at the Regatta Grille for "wing night." They are bone in and really messy but really good! We may just make it a weekly date;)

Today Tyler caught all innings of both games. The first game, SL 17 Emmetsburg 7 after 4 innings. Tyler got a walk and the E'Hawks weren't paying attention so Tyler stole second. He is such a smart base runner. Since Tyler was catching and needed to rest and hydrate he had a courteousy runner for the rest of the game. The second game, SL 1 E'burg 11 after 2 innings, was played in the rain. This was the teams last game of the season.

Last night Tyler attended Tanner's overnight birthday party extravaganza. He's a friend that won the 9th grade president campaign. Tanner is a HUGE Notre Dame fan. Tyler got him a Notre Dame t shirt but wrapped it in the box our tv came in. Tanner thought it was cool he did that and loved the shirt. He wore it around all night. Tyler had a great time roasting hot dogs, tubing, and playing flashlight tag. This morning when Tonya was taking the boys home she asked if anyone wanted to drive. They have a 2008 red GT convertible Mustang. While all the other boys were too scared, Tyler, being a veteran driver of nice cars said, "Sure, I'll drive." Tyler got to drive all the kids home with the top down. He was pretty excited. And, no Tyler that's not going to be your school car either;)
