This is becoming deja vu!!

So here we are at Wendover once again. We came down to pick up my bet winnings and we had a coupon for a free room, so it cost us nothing but gas and dinner. Don't forget the plus side of $450.
Nikki and Jeff came with us, we didn't get there until 8:00pm. After checking in we went to dinner and then to PLAY. Nikki and I played black jack for about 2 hours did ok, won $50. Nikki and Jeff started to play roulette. I was watching the craps table and decided to play. I hadn't played for a long time and usually when I did I would lose. I started with $10, I did pretty good when ever I would win I would put some of it in my pocket. I had a stack and I told myself when it was gone I was walking away. At about 5:00 am The stack was gone, Nathan asked if I lost everything. I said "NOPE" and pointed to the bulge in my pocket. We went to the cashier.... I won $150. Montego bay was pretty nice to me on this trip! On the other hand, not so nice to Nikki. At one point she had about $100 in her pocket, but she couldn't walk away! She lost $80. But that is what Wendover is all about, and having FUN!! Now we are going to Thanksgiving dinner on 2 hours of sleep.

Beginners luck!!

My dad goes out to Wendover every so often and places some sports bets. I was talking to my mom and she was picking some teams for her bet, she told me that I should pick some. So I picked 6 teams, I didn't know anything about the teams I picked. I knew who the Cowboys were and they were playing against the 49ers, but that's it. Well all the Sunday games won! Tonight Saints vs Packers. As I was watching the game I was having an anxiety attack. The first 2 quarters it was close. And then............ the packers got their butt kicked. The Saints only had to win by 3 points but they won by 22!!!! 51 to 29. My $10 bet turned into $450. I'm going to Wendover on Wednesday to get my mula!!!!!!!

Twilight


Tonight Macy, Macy sister Jessi ,Brandy, Brandy's friend Mandi, and I went and seen Twilight. Macy's work rented out a theater and she got 4 extra tickets. We went out to dinner before the movie at Applebee's, they were really busy there was a 30 minute wait then it took an hour just to get our food. Since Macy's work rented out the theater it was not reserve seating, Macy's sister Jessi didn't go to dinner so she was our hero and went and stood in line an hour and 15 minutes before the show started (good thing since Applebee's took so LONG!). It was way good, I loved it! I love Edward! I had an appointment today at the gym with my trainer, I told him I had to come earlier today because I have a date. He looked at me, started laughing and said with who Edward.......YUP!!!

Before We knew about Macy's work Nikki ordered ticket on-line for Sunday,there is about 20 of us going. So Me and Brandy are going again, good thing it was good!
So yes Edward I will go on a second date!!! :)

Oh how I love Wendover!

This weekend we went to wendover for Brandy's uncle Buck's 50th birthday. We didn't do much gambling this year which is a bis surprise we spent most of the time at the bar. I didn't get too many pictures because apparently you can't take pictures in the casino even though we were at the bar?? I got in trouble quite a few times for taking pictures. Of course we didn't go to bed until 4 in the morning. It's better than some of mine and brandy's 6 in the morning adventures, but it wouldn't be a official Wendover trip if we went to bed early!

This is what happens when you try to take a picture in front of the casino and a tour bus shows up................Steph-"wait the flash wasn't on Mike will you take another one?"
Nathan-"no we're not taking a picture, go ahead walk right in front of us!"

Guy- "Oh I sorry you take picture?"
We were laughing so hard after looking at the picture, I almost peed my pants! You got to love good ol' Windover!!!

5. Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
6. Let your tagged peeps know once your entry is UP.

Random #1:


I'll start with this post... I am the biggest procrastinator you'll ever meet! I was tagged from Annie about 3 weeks ago. I wait for the last minute on everything I do. I don't do it on purpose and I have tried to stop (for my kids sake, I don't want them to take on my horrible habits lol). But there is no use, so get used to it.:)

Random # 2:

You'll never catch me without a piece of gum in my mouth. And not just any gum it has to be peppermint. My favorite kind is stride sweet peppermint. If I don't have gum I get a stomach ache, or I just think I do? I know I'm a freak!!

Random #3:

I have to take a shower twice a day, I can't get ready in the morning without one, and I can't go to bed at night feeling dirty. I know.... Sorry I'm not doing my part on conserving water.

Random #4:


I love milk. But I can't drink a glass of milk without eating something with it, and it has to be ice cold.
Random #5:
I don't like fruits and veggies, it's a texture thing. My personal trainer is surprised I have lost as much weight as I have without eating them. But, I have been trying. I can gag down an orange, grapefruit, and carrots. I think I need to be hypnotized to get over this. lol- Random #6:
I love to sing I sing to everything and anything. Whenever someone says something I sing a song to whatever they say ex. If they're talking about an umbrella I'll start singing..."under my umbrella" or if you say stop I would sing... "stop in the name of love". If you ever go camping with us be prepared you feel like your in pre-school.



I'm tagging whoever wants to play!!

A Day at Little Sahara Sand Dunes

This weekend we took our 4-wheelers out and spent the day at Little Sahara sand dunes. It was our family, Brandy's family, Nathan's co-worker Dan and his family and his friends. We all thought it was going to be cold but it turned out to be a really nice day. We played hard on the 4-wheelers, Nathan took me on a ride and I thought I was going to die!!! The kids had a blast riding around. After all the playing we roasted some hot dogs for dinner and sat around the fire. We left to go home around 9:30pm, it was a fun, long day!

All the girls seem to like Nathan. No matter where we
go they seem to follow him. Here they were having
him put them in and out of the tree.

Kodis got excited over the "Big one"

Angie and Kodis had a honeymoon flashback!!!

Kiss ME

Yesterday my sister Nikki was watching Bryson while I was at work. They were watching the movie Adventures in Babysitting, at the end there is a kissing scene. After the show was over Bryson looked at Nikki and said "you can kiss me if you want".

Happy Halloween

This Halloween we stared the morning off with the school parade. I tried my hardest to get some pictures, but the kids were running through the parade. I got there at 8:30 the kindergarten walked before the rest of the school because they are only half day. The rest of the school was supposed to start at 9:00 but they didn't start until 9:30. I felt bad for all the antsy little brothers and sisters that came to watch. I really felt bad for their parents, I remember those days.
Bryson
His teacher Mrs. Atwood
Ryan
His Teacher Mr. Turner
Josh
Like I said they were running through
the parade, so I thought this was Josh's
teacher Mr. Richmond. It wasn't!! It's
Mr.Welker! Oh well I tried.
And then off to trick or treating.......Josh will work for candy.
Ryan............Wuz up!!!!
Bryson.. Mr. funny bones
We headed out early to try to make our rounds because Josh was going to go out with his friends. Well we didn't make it to every one's house we were planing. We did make it to Grandma Bonnie's and Grandpa Gayson's, Becky's, Angie's, Craig and Marci's, and Nana's.

This picture didn't turn out that well, but it's the only one I took
Grandma Bonnie, Grandpa Gayson and the BoysAfter that I took Josh and Eliott to Ian's so they could go trick-or-treating. Brandy, Richard, Easton, Jaedyn,Ryan, Bryson, and I went around Brandy's house. about 10 Minutes into it Bryson said he didn't feel good, he didn't want to get anymore candy so I knew he was sick.

Ryan and all his candy... Oh no I'm in trouble!
My sick little boy



When we got home he was acting OK. He fell asleep in the living room. He woke up crying, I had him come in my room. He told me his tummy hurt. He looked at me and said "I'm going to puke". I grabbed him and tried to run to the bathroom. But I didn't make it, it ended up all over my bedroom floor.
If anyone knows me I have a weak stomach when it comes to puke. I went to get our carpet cleaner, but Nathan's mom has it... GREAT!! I cleaned it up gagging the whole time.
That just made me think of a time when I think I was about 8 or 9. My aunt Becky was at my house babysitting and me and my cousin Annie thought it would be good to eat raw spaghetti noodles dip in peanut butter and hot dogs (we always made up new food inventions). I got sick that night and puked. My aunt Becky couldn't clean it up because it was making her sick. So she took out the vacuum and vacuumed it up. I remember the vacuum stinking forever. (sorry I had to write down that memory while it was on my mind)
