This trip, Vince made some friends (imagine that!) with some Air Force kids that were playing. Somehow, it ended up that Dad and Kent....with help from everyone else...ended up playing in the next round of PONG. The point is, there are plastic cups filled with beer at each end of a table. You try to throw a ping pong ball into the cups on the other side of the table. If you do, your opponent has to drink what was in the cup. Now this being Dad & Kent's first time, they didn't make many balls in the cups...so enlisted the help of Mom, Tammy, and Vince. Basically, they lost and drank all the beer. Dirty PONG ball & all. They had a BLAST though and it was so fun (and funny) to watch! These were the only pics I took during the trip this time. This was by far the best part of the trip anyways! (Especially since none of us hit the jackpot!!)

02.21.2009: Weekend in Vegas
This weekend we headed up to Vegas to meet with Mom, Dad, Brian Greene, Kent and Tammy. We started the trip off right on Friday night by doing what you do in Vegas....drink and gamble! There was no shortage of either that night....by anyone! The fun really kicked up when we hit O'Sheas. It is a small little casino in the middle of the strip. There is a little history with us all and O'Sheas. For me personally, it was the first time I sat at a Roulette table for 8 hours...and walked out of the casino as the sun was coming up with $800 I had won throughout the night. For Dad, it is that every time we go there, he is fascinated by this game that all the drunk college-age kids play called BEER PONG. Now, most of us that went thru college or at least attended the parties, know a little about BEER PONG. However, Dad missed out on that....or they didn't have it way back then...so he has always been eager to figure it out.

02.14.2009: Brianna's 3rd Birthday Party
Brianna celebrated her 3rd Birthday with a Minnie Mouse theme....to include a really cute Minnie Mouse dress! We were lucky to have Ray and Lois in town for the month, so they were able to come to party. It was great visiting with them again! Shelly and Jimmy were also in town watching Cole and Chance for the weekend....so they were able to come out for the party as well. It was nice to have the cousins together to play! Too many boys though! Need some more girls in that mix :)
Nana got tons of cute presents, clothes, toys, dolls, books, etc. Her Minnie Mouse cake was soooooo cute and just as yummy to eat too! They had a pinata for the kids....although this was a very 21st century Pinata! Not like the old school ones that you whack with a bat. This one you just pull strings. One string pulls the plug and all the candy comes out! A little less exciting that the traditional ones....but much more safe! Kids didn't seem to really care....all they wanted was the candy!
Happy Birthday Nana!!!!
