About Me
Cool kid Cayton....

Going out on the town with Smit
A Day of Snowboarding
We decided to brave the weather and go out for a family outing and not only watch Cayton on the snowboard, but try it ourselves. How CRAZY were we? I of course had to make sure that Cayton could actually preform the stunts as he will be heading off to the Aspen Alps in about two weeks with the church youth group. While at the park watching, I didn't know if we would be make a trip to the hospital.... Heart attache for me or broken something for Cayton. Anyway we made it thru the day with no accidents!!
About Us:
Lynn/Smitty/Mr. Smit and I decided after MUCH debate to try it one more time. With living in Iowa life has been really GREAT!! Finally we feel like a family. Our family moto is: TOGETHER IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO BE...
Lynn started a tile company and subcontracts out his work. We debated on a name for the business and after much deliberation decided on "TLC Tile". Of course he didn't see my humor in the initials (though luck chum or tiny little c.......) so we settled on Tami, Lynn & Cayton Tile to keep it in the family so to say. I still like my names better, but I'm not the one out there dealing with customers.....
Lynn of course still does his fishing. Come Spring until Fall you can find him either on the local lakes or up on the Mississippi doing what he loves best. We were all proud of him this year as he came in 10th in the BASS association for the year and almost qualified to go to the big state Bass touranments. What a guy, now he just needs to bring home the bacon so to speak instead of spending it all on the tournaments.
My/our son Cayton is a sophmore at Marion High School. He is extremely active in football, some wrestling and enjoys track. This year he has taken up snowboarding and already has got the hang of it. I was doing the mom thing while watching him thinking "here goes another trip to the ER", but he fooled me and I couldn't believe that I was watching my own son. Kids can really shock and amaze you sometimes! Cayton has decided to put off getting his drivers license until he is 18, thanks to mom.... I let him drive me up to the store during an ice storm and well..... he hasn't asked to drive since. Thank god, because if it hadn't of been for the pain medication I was on I think I would have had a heart-attack! I have to say he has great friends and a WONDERFUL girlfriend who we hope sticks around for awhile.
Now to me.... I am working for a Marina at Lake Delhi and loving every minute of it. Smit loves it too as he wants me to buy him a boat at cost.... Go figure. I have great hours and I get to have the winters off to be at home. Got to love those 5 month vacations paid by unemployment. The perks with the job are outstanding! Smit and I got to travel to Mississippi this past October for a dealers conference. Five days at a Casino, all expenses paid... who wouldn't love it. Now my duties incude cooking, cleaning and of course....... SNOW SHOVELING.... Got to love Iowa.
