We wanted to meet with the Neimeyer’s before the girls both headed off to college. We decided to meet for bowling. At the first bowling alley we tried, there was a tournament going on. I also noticed a screw in my tire while we were figuring out what to do next. We found an alley … Continue reading “Bowling – 7/20/2024”
We’ve been celebrating New Years with the Neimeyer’s for 24 years! It started as a simple visit to an apartment in Lawrence, KS in 1999. From there to multiple cities in the Midwest until we both settled in St. Louis. Complacency can get the best of anybody and we started mixing it up with trips … Continue reading “A New Years Tradition – 12/13/2023”
The last month of the calendar year always seems to go by in a rush. You might cheer for a white Christmas, but you enjoy having the windows open and nice weather outside. One last warm motorcycle ride. A dinner with friends. Or seeing Maggie at her first job! We have lots of memories and … Continue reading “December 2021”
We decided to paddle a second day in a row. With 3 boats loaded on the trailer and a 10×10 pop up, we were ready to weather the sun and hang out for the morning. Corvin and I hung out in the shade while Danelle and Maggie paddled in the canoe. Sonora followed next in … Continue reading “Paddling at Creve Coeur Lake – 6/6/2020”
Paddling is something that I mostly do and the rest of the family puts up with. We don’t do it enough together even though we have enough boats. Since we got a trailer earlier this year, there is no excuse not to get the family out together and paddle! So here we go! You can … Continue reading “Family Paddle at Simpson Lake – 6/5/2020”
The scariest thing at the office this Halloween was Eric’s desk. He had been out for a week and we wanted to celebrate him coming back with a prank. I had collected lots of sweetener packs from the River des Peres trash bash and brought them into the office. I got Brad and Maggie’s help … Continue reading “Halloween at the Office – 10/24/2019”
We celebrated New Years at Kelly and Jeff’s house this year. Jake looks stumped. Somehow I convinced Kelly that the mess wouldn’t be too bad for this party toy… Sonora got Maggie to spend the night, so when we went home, we took Maggie with us. Then Maggie and Sonora went ice skating. Seems like … Continue reading “New Years – 1/1/2019”
My employer was kind enough to sponsor part of the DevUp conference this year. Additionally, they sent the whole development staff for professional development. It didn’t take long for us to get seats and get comfortable for the opening Keynote about the future of technology. Maggie on my right. Jeff on my left. They went … Continue reading “Dev Up Conference 10/9/2018”
Maggie has never had her hair dyed before. So she came over to do it with Sonora. Here are a few photos of the mess! Of course I didn’t capture the finished product. Maggie was swimming every day that summer training for races, so the dye didn’t last very long in her hair. But it … Continue reading “Dying Maggie’s Hair – 6/1/2018”
The kids participated in their last orchestra together until Sonora gets into high school. It was in the Webster Groves high school gym. The Niemeyer’s came out to listen to the kids. Forgot to record the concert, but had fun with friends! Hogan Haake
