Vegas Baby (and more)

Excalibur! - I'm pretty sure this was the oddest looking hotel on the strip, but it was our hotel none-the-less. Corey and I joined Mark, Sheri, Bekah, Lucy & Kyle in Las Vegas Friday thru Monday and it was a blast. It was my first time in Vegas and I definitely will be back.

Um, we don't exactly have a lot of pictures as there was a lot of drinking and late nights, so the camera wasn't exactly our focus. Our camera wouldn't fit into our pockets. Hopefully Beks or Sheri & Mark may have more. Anyway, here's a shot of us all ready and heading out for dinner. After dinner, the girls hit up the Thunder Down Under - Yum!

We spent our days at the pool drinking buckets of beer, swimming, and watching basketball. It was so relaxing! Again, no pictures at the pool, but this is us either before or after. I did discover that I really could care less about gambling, but there was so much more to Vegas than that. Corey got in a good 10 hour stint of poker though. He played with $100 and ended up winning $50 after 10 hours from 3am to 1pm the next day. Breasts of Hazzard - Volley to Beat Breast Cancer

As many of you know, we had a volleyball tourney to raise money for our DuBar Dolls 3-day team. Here's my team! We played well, but couldn't make it to the finals. At least we look good, right?

Here are the actions shots.

And our little guy. Maddox survived his first time away from both of his parents. It was my first time ever not seeing Maddox for a day or more. Even during the 3-day I would get to see Maddox each day and he was with Corey, so this experience was definitely strange, but Maddox did great and had a pretty terrific time with Grandma & Grandpa - Thanks Mom & Dad!!!! He's said multiple times today that he misses you both and Uncle Scott.

Happy Birthday! This month we celebrated Auntie Jenna's 26th birthday. We went to a drumline show to reminisce and then headed to our house for appetizers and cake. It was a relaxing day.
Maddox slept thru the whole party until the end, but then did get to enjoy a plate full of yummy food.

Chicken Pox? Not sure what we had going on here, but it's gone now.

Dinner gathering - Corey's friend from high school, Peter, and his wife Julie came over for dinner the other night and brought their little 1 1/2 year old Evan. Maddox and Evan had a great time on Maddox's new skateboard. Here they are hugging. Maddox sort of looks like he's giving the choke hold, but it's all with love, right?

Cheese!
