Why are we so boring lately?

The question really is not about boring so much as it is about busy! With a few major events in the works (Highland Class of 97 reunion and Young Women in Excellence) I feel like I have been running around crazy, but with not much to show (or blog) for it. I can say that we spent a great weekend in Vegas for Dave's Grandma's funeral, and while that doesn't sound so great, it was not too sad of a weekend, it was a good time for her to go, and it was awesome to have ALL SEVEN of Dave's siblings together for some good eats, Madden football, and a few lengthy Risk tournaments. (we sure know how to live-it-up Vegas style Huh???)
Dave also took this Wed., Thurs.(today), and Friday off, so we have been having fun family outings including but not limited too: the zoo (did you know that a Black Widow's venom is 15 times stronger than that of a Rattle snake? How about that a Flamingo turns pink becuase of the Brine Shrimp that it eats? try visiting the zoo for more useless infomation)the gym, the mall, singing time at the mall with Dooper the prairie dog (more affectionately called "Duker" by Jaxon), a walk around the Riparian Preserve, the library, and much more to come! So while our lives have not been very blog-worthy lately, they have been busy and fun...so I guess that counts for something!

Risk tournaments are ALWAYS noteworthy!! We had a big one on our family vacation in July and even tried out a new set of rules. You know how big of a deal that can be!

ashley, you're still doing more than we are. besides brailyn's weekly music class, we don't get out much, except the 20 minute walk we take after dinner to get the mail and look at the fountains in the front of our complex.
