A long overdue visit from my Mom...


"Mom, it has 2 lines. Do you know what that means?"

The proud daddy-to-be talking to his mom and his mom freaking out with new grandma joy.



Happy Birthday Mom! We about charred off Dean's face with your million candles but it was worth it so you could huff and puff to get your wish. We'll pretend that we didn't see you had to try to blow them out twice.


Hi little peanut!!!! You were only the size of a poppy seed in that picture!



I had to take Mom out to the "The World's Largest Truckstop." Hey, you take what you can get out here in Iowa. It was actually pretty fun.

Personally, I think Mom should take up a career in trucking. The freedom of the open road. The cool hats. The fridge in the cab. What more can you really want in this life?


However, trucking is not so much for me. I'll continue being a massage therapist, thank you very much.

We went up to Maquoketa Caves and hiked and played around in some caves.


The Mississippi River decided it wanted to flood the old part of Davenport so we had to go down to the skybridge to check it out. Everywhere you see water in that picture is the flooding of the streets.

A flooded park. And obviously we couldn't be happier about it.


Awesome. I love the one lone car that is stuck in the water next to the skybridge.


A stoplight in water? Preposterous.

I love your mom, she is so sweet. Great memories of her (and you) in my childhood. She hasn't changed a bit!

Oh my gosh, it flooded??? Nobody tells me these things!!! You're pushing me out of your life already, I can feel it. First, you get all new friends and now a new little baby to replace your Jaydizzle. I see....we understand. Blah, blah, blah, wah, wah, wah, we're excited for you guys. Not because it flooded ,that sucks, but because you're going to be MOMMY CHELLE! No more carrots for you. Enough with the healthy crap. Dig in my friend, DIG IN!
