Bob Brown Invitational Cross Country Meet

2009-09-06T10:45:00.006-05:00

Regina hosted the Bob Brown Invite, held in honor of Coach Brown, on 9/3/09 at the beautiful (hilly!) UI cross country course. Coach Brown started XC at Regina and over the years developed it into a program of dedicated athletes, coaches, families and friends. The symbol on the back of the Regina teams' jerseys is made up of his initials (BB) and a cross. Last year, the first year of the meet, it was overcast and rainy, and just as the runners lined up at the starting line, the clouds parted and sun shone right down on the runners. This year, we had a beautiful night for a meet. Regina boys' and girls' teams both took first place. And after the awards ceremony, a beautiful, bright full moon was coming up in the sky above the Regina tent. We are reminded often that Coach Brown is still with us and cheering everyone on.

Team Pixx - Extras

2009-08-23T10:02:00.011-05:00

When we get together for a team photo shoot, we like to let the kids put together some fun extra shots with their teammates/friends/siblings. Even the coaches go along with it - some even loan their vehicle for a group shot or allow themselves to be a human prop (Thanks, Coach Swope!). Here are a few from this last week's photo sessions. The rest of the pixx will be posted to their respective team galleries so please check our main site for them: www.icpixx.com.

RHS XC Half-Marathon 2009

2009-08-21T06:32:00.006-05:00

An annual tradition to kick off XC season -

XC team members (current and past), parents, coaches, and friends come together and run the route that's the distance of half a marathon. Fans man water stations throughout the course. Those recovering from an injury ride bikes. Those of us who aren't as athletic as we once were watch our family and friends with pride - happy to be a part of the XC family and inspired to get moving a little more ourselves...

Coach Swope, armed with his heavy-duty squirt gun, patrols the course, giving support and encouragement to all, just as his mentor, our beloved and dearly missed Coach Brown always did.

All are welcome - come join the fun next year!

(For more photos, see gallery under "Sports" on our site: www.icpixx.smugmug.com)

Amanda, you are a true beauty. Your light showed through many dark hours. Rest in peace and know you are loved.

The energy and enthusiasm that filled the IMU during the 2009 Dance Marathon to raise funds for the Children's Miracle Network and UI Children's Hospital was amazing! Here are some pixx that give a little glimpse of this incredible event.

Print prices reduced on most* 2006 - 2008 galleries!

2009-06-13T13:23:00.009-05:00

We've been editing, uploading and ordering prints for summer sports teams' pixx, dance recital pixx, and baseball & softball action shots. We realized we are running out of room on the site and can't put off clearing out some photos to make room for the new ones.

Soooooo - we are drastically reducing prices of standard size prints in most 2006-2008 galleries (*excluded: "Seniors" and "Families, Kids, Couples & Pets") before we take them offline. We'll be sending an email out notifying everyone of this, so people have time to get on and order prints they need. These galleries through 2008 will not be available online after July 31, 2009. There will be a $25 fee to have a gallery brought back online once it's been removed.

In backing up files I came across some photos I hadn't uploaded yet, so am going to include some here in the next blog entries.

Debut Dance Studio Recital 6/6/2009

Back to Emmetsburg, Iowa, and my old high school, for my niece's graduation last weekend.

One of the nicest ones I can remember - great speeches (including one by Katelyn, Class Prez!) - amazing choir performances (can't get "He Aint Heavy..." out of my head!) - and the coolest graduation slide show ever!

Riverfest 2009

2009-04-25T15:08:00.000-05:00

Friday was a beautiful night - perfect for local band "Girl Repellant" to perform in the Iowa City ped mall to kick off this spring's RiverFest weekend. Hanging out and enjoying these guys play while college kids, families, and Smiley wandered around, and some people danced a little, reminded me of why I love this town. The atmosphere was the same for me as it was 28 years ago, when I first visited Iowa City. It's a great mix of energy, calm, and creativity. I don't how better to explain it. Although some of my favorite businesses from the '80's have moved on (Buc's, Bushnell's Turtle, Things...), others have moved in, helping keep downtown Iowa City unique and special.
