Nothing Much

This blog is about our lives and to help us keep in touch. Life is good for me, nothing much exciting happening.

However the one thing I was thinking about it regards to this blog is the Florida family. I would love to hear what is going on down there. How are Ryan and Lillie doing is school? Any class trips coming up? How is Jeff working his crazy hours and the stake presidency? How is Evy and her college classes? Anyway I would love to hear more form everyone!

P.S. Evy I still don’t know my work schedule yet.. I am working on it.

Wing Bowl I

Well, the first annual Wing Bowl was a tremendous success.  We started out with a slow-cooked roast beef dinner with french fries (no pizza and wings). After dinner we drew names for the competition.

Round 1 (Quarterfinals)

Mom played me (Graham) in Skip-Bo. I won.
Andrea played Dad in Uno Attack. Andrea won.
Julia played Nanny in Skip-Bo. Nanny won.
Lisa played Dad (he got to play twice since there was only 7 people) in Uno Attack. Lisa won (Dad isn’t very good at Uno Attack 🙂 )

Round 2 (Semifinals)

Graham played Andrea in Thirty-One for 15 minutes. At the end of the 15 minutes, they were tied and so the winner of that game won. Andrea pulled through to the finals!
Nanny played Lisa in Uno Attack. Apparently Lisa took advantage of the situation (Nanny having never played it before) and won.

Finals

Andrea played Lisa in Skip-Bo. There were 15 cards in their piles to start with, and near the end they both had one card on top with one card remaining in the pile. The first part of the game was very boring. It’s definitely not a spectator sport. But the last couple of rounds were amazing. We couldn’t turn away. During Lisa’s second last turn she managed to pick up 3 or 4 different hands. She was on a roll. Anyway, it came down to Lisa’s last turn, and she went out, just ahead of Andrea. Lisa was the winner!

Lisa won a DVD of the movie Lucas.

We look forward to Wing Bowl II…
