Check out my new boat!

Can't wait for the grandkids to learn to waterski!!!! I'm so excited! I am sure they are too! m

Kiecker Gene Pool Rocks!!!

I've been so busy with family and friends the last few weeks that I haven't had time to write....but have great news to announce!!!!

Team Theresa Wins Again!!!! The Kiecker family and a few Schoeneckers gathered again at the Family Reunion and with the help of William the MVP who scored the winning run... won the tournament for the 4th time. Over the last 14 years we have won every softball tournament. My kids were in their prime 14 years ago....and now the grandkids have come into their prime.
Nick is playing on the Coon Rapids National All Star Little League Team which won districts this weekend and Nick scored the winning run in the top of the last inning....as well as making some great defensive plays in the bottom of that inning.
Katie's team won their region soccer tournament last nite and will be playing in state this weekend.
Emily was chosen by her peers and coaches to play on their All Star Softball Team and will play under the lights on Thursday.
Allie's softball team won the honor of going to state as well, but the parents decided they didn't want to participate.
I will be busy watching grandkids all weekend.

I have been at the cabin almost everyday since the first of the month. Tom and Karen came on the 2nd and all the rest of the family followed....we had a wonderful 4th joined by friends of the family and then on the 5th celebrated Kennedy's 8th birthday with more friends and family. By Monday everyone left me alone....but that was short lived as on Tuesday my sister and her husband joined me at the cabin and on Thursday Kathleen and I went to the airport and picked up Aunt Loretta from California and Cousin Joe from Athens Goergia. Had my brother Bill and his kids and grandkids join us at the cabin on Friday and then Friday evening the family reunion started with dinner in Monticello and Saturday we moved to Becker to David and Jenny's Sod Farm. On Sunday Kathleen, Gary, Joe and Loretta all returned to the cabin. Then Tina and the young Jim Spence's surprised us by showing up on her speed boat at our dock. They then joined us for dinner. After they left we were playing cards when Jimbo's friend Johnny Bret showed up at the door and a few minutes later Judy and Frank appeared. Monday Kathleen and Gary departed for Wisconsin....and Loretta and I took Joe to the airport. Loretta and I stayed in town till Thursday when I took her back to the airport too. Then I returned to the cabin and on Friday a.m. Jack and four friends came to the cabin for the day and nite and they left on Saturday afternoon. Then I drove back to the city as well and watched Nick win on Sunday morning and then returned to the cabin and Annie and Doug and their friends the Hannula's spent the day with me. I think I will be here alone till Thursday....and then I will be home for a whole week. I may even beable to get some yard work done there... which is much needed. So now you see why I haven't updated this blog since July 1. Love ya all, m
