Vegas

Rob & I went to Vegas with his dad and his dad's wife for a weekend last month. It was the first time Rob & I had been away together since we got married. It was a pretty fun weekend. We stayed at the Rivera Hotel, which was pretty nice. The tower we stayed in was just recently remodeled. This was my 1st time to Vegas. I enjoyed some of the slot machines and all the free Crown's & Coke. But I hated the cigarette smoke! Really hated all the cigarette smoke! My favorite place was Slots-O-Fun because it paid out in really coins! Yeah its not the nicest place there but its cheap & seemed to pay out better than the bigger hotels. We were able to catch a Vegas show & wedding! It just so happened that our buddy from work got married in Vegas the same weekend of our trip. Having some buddies down there made it even more fun! The bummer of the trip was that I never made it to ESPN Zone & I came home sick. When I got off the airplane I told Rob that I wasn't feeling great. Neither one of us knew that I was going to get the worst sinus infection of my life & be down & out for 2 weeks! It totally sucked but I have an amazing husband who helped make sure I was as comfortable as possible.

Well, soccer for Ky & I finished the 1st week of October. The season ended on a very good note...they beat Sandpoint HS, which was a very good team. The team played extremely well & it just amazed me & them that they were able to pull a win together (since they lost every game during the month of September). The team was a typical "young" team...sometimes they showed up to play and sometimes they didn't. I can remember my sophomore year of basketball in high school Coach Holden said, "Winning tonight depends on which team shows up to play." That year we were young and this last soccer season was the same way. We ended the season with a special "Starburst" practice. Each girl was to dress up in the color of a Starburst and come to practice. They had tons of fun & I enjoyed watching them. They really loved my all pink outfit! :)

The rest of October has been all about watching Chris play football. Rob & I really love watching the Friday Night Football games! Its something that we all love for different reasons. Below is a picture of Rob & I after one of the games pretending to be "Kenny" (Southpark).
The Homecoming Game was in October and that night was an extremely busy night for me. Kylie & her boyfriend Montana were Homecoming King and Queen, which was announced at halftime of the football game. Before that there was a parade through town which both Kylie and Chris were in. Rob & I rushed downtown to see them & get some pictures before going to the pre-game tailgating. After tailgating I had to work the concessions stands for the 1st half of the game. I got to leave for a couple of minutes before the game started to go out onto the field with Chris. I had to wear his white football jersey and he, along with all the football players, gave all the mom's flowers. It was pretty special. At halftime I had to be down on the field again for the announcement of the King and Queen. I got some good pictures but not much on video b/c of course my battery died right before the guy said Kylie's name! :( Below are a couple pictures from that night. Chris has been so busy with football & now the playoffs that he's not in any pictures. But don't worry, he's still around!
