Summer Floodin'

Tuesday evening we had a wonderful time celebrating Brads birthday, filled with fun gifts, fun decorations and a delicious dessert! Who would want a boring old cake if you could have this, right? Well, that is what I told myself, but it was a hit!

Even though my hard working husband worked a full day with out getting off early, he was able to have a day off today! Not for the best of reasons though. We had a 'little' flooding last night/this morning. There was literately no way in or out of town for there was flooding on all sides of us. The news has said we were like a little "island". And as of 2pm, the water plant has been closed. There is a break in the water line, and with the flooding they cannot find where the break is, so no tap water. Boiling order in effect, and just about all the stores out of bottled water. We were able to get a bunch before the ciaos began! Praise the Lord! Here are some pix for my far away family and friends. Will keep you updated. I do have a post on face book with excellent aerial pictures of the whole town. (look for des moines register) It's really awesome to see.

Our home wasn't affected at all though. We are so very thankful!

This is Hilton Coliseum, where our basketball games are held, as well as concerts and such. They are calling it a "water hole" for all of the water inside. It's really unfortunate.

Oh yes, this would be the parking lot to our brand new aquatic center (to the right). No-one will be swimming today!

I also have two little videos for your entertainment.
