Someone tagged Moosey's carpet with gang symbols in black crayon last night....Hmm, the suspect list for this crime is very short... And oddly enough, so are the actual suspects :)

DHTC, First Days

Here's a little something fun...

Chris' First Day, June 2005     

X's first day, October 2010

Who knew five years could fly by so quickly?!



Home Office

Saturday morning in the Hummer Household....

This one awoke early, set himself up with his own home office and went straight to work.

 An old soul I tell you...He can't even wait to be 40!

I do have to give him props for making sure to get an office with a window! I also like that he has accessorized his desk with a little truck trinket!

Little Hummer Trucker

Our Little Mr. Big Stuff has been begging his daddy to take him to work for the last few months. There has been a little "work" outfit and laptop bag laid out on the floor of our little boy's room for weeks and weeks and weeks now. Ha!

So yesterday was the big day! Xavier finally got to have his first official work day at the DHTC. Of course, X made a quick change in his wardrobe plans when he learned he would be taking a truck trip to Wisconsin with his Papa. He was so excited! He was telling people that he is the luckiest boy in the world!

Xavier submitted a uniform request for new work boots around 10:45 p.m. two evenings prior to the big day...Yes, way past his bed time, but he was too excited and did not want to show up ill-equipped to do his job. Little does this kid know... he was born equipped to do this job, it's in his genetic make up.

Hi ho hi ho....it's off to work they go!
Bright and early, with a coffee cup filled with chocolate milk :) 

The customary morning goodbyes...Xavier was thrilled to be on the other side of these goodbyes for the day.

 

Rolling Out and Truckin'

Working on the log book. On Duty Not Driving

Six-Year-Old Navigation System

Made it to Wisconsin! Xavier said he had to go to the bathroom on the trip, but he waited to ask Papa until he.. "Saw lots of buildings, you know like a city," because he didn't want to be wasting time. They had a long way to go and a short time to get there. Ha! See what I mean about being genetically programed for this stuff. A chip off the old block, right?!

Sleeper Berth

Coffee break, well and ice cream too, of course :)  Off Duty

Back at the office working with Daddy.

Loads covered, calling it a night...time to go home!

First day on the job and they have my baby working half days (12 hours)! Somehow, I think he would have loved to stay longer. Daddy reports he had to ask X several times to shut down for the night. Ha!

What a super day in the life of our Little Hummer Trucker...a big THANKS to the Daddy and the Papa for making it so great!



If you don't love it, leave it, USA #1

It was a beautiful weekend to be a Hawkeye!

Friday night, the boys and I traveled to campus to hit up the homecoming parade. Fun, fun! We even got to see Xavier's 1st grade teacher march in the alumni band.

Saturday was, of course, game day Iowa!

Iowa vs. Penn State

Time for a little tailgating with the hubby and fam. Then for a night game at historic Kinnick stadium! Who doesn't love a night game?! Look how cool the striped stadium looked! 

We were glad to be in the black section. Gold winter apparel is hard to work into an outfit :) Although, somehow I think my adorable, SIL could pull it off. Ha!

Hawkeye football is always a good time. In fact, I am pretty sure I have just as much fun now at Kinnick, as I did in college. Ha! Here is a little YouTube from Saturday's game...so you can get a feel for what it is like inside the stadium.

Pretty wild, right!

 Here in Iowa we love our Hawkeyes! And us Iowa alumni, we love any game that ends with the victory polka! Way to go Hawks 24-3!
