Father son trip!

2011-04-04T19:23:00.000-07:00

Spring break a came and went and Trey and Rob took what has become an annual trip to Arizona for spring break. Their flight landed in Phoenix on Monday, and they arrived to rain. They had plans for a baseball game that night, and thought it would be rained out! The show went on. It was very cold, so cold Rob almost bought a jacket. The next day, they went to another game and were lucky enough to see Felix H pitch for the Mariners. The next day they had planned to spend the day with Rob friend Dave, but his family got sick, so they went shopping. That evening, they took in a Suns game. (Golfer Martin Kaymer sat in front of them) The next morning they flew back. Flew back of course to snowy Idaho! But, it was fun. We are planning our next trip and love to travel with friends, so let us know if you want to go. We are flexible! Alaska, San Fransisco, and of course Vegas are possible destinations. Give us a call!

Christmas

2010-12-25T11:27:00.000-08:00

We had a great Christmas! Back from Vegas just in time. We all got everything we wanted. It is the first time we have been home for Christmas in a long time. Pictures of Trey, and one of what Jodi thinks of Christmas pictures! She is just mad she hasn't got her box of cereal yet from her mom.

Dinner with Friends!

2010-12-25T08:08:00.000-08:00

While in Vegas, we went to dinner with our friends the Reich's. Dean has been Rob's friend since High School, but we haven't got together in about four or five years. The kids have grown so much! It was great to see them!

Vegas again, thanks BSU!

2010-12-25T08:00:00.001-08:00

Trey had a game on Tuesday night, and we left for Vegas right after the game. We stayed in Wells and then on to Vegas on Wednesday. We went to the game that night. We stayed at the Luxor, and for the first time in awhile, we stayed in the pyramid, not the towers. The next day we stopped by to see Kim's family. In honor of the Goon's kids love of the all day buffet, we took a picture of the signs!

Mother Nature Smiles on Bronco's

2010-12-25T07:50:00.000-08:00

After raining and snowing all day long, the rain let up just before the kick-off of the Vegas Bowl. The traffic and parking was a disaster, Jodi had to walk across a mud puddle in high heels, but eventually, we found our seats and watched a good game.

Ugh!!!!

2010-11-20T19:55:00.001-08:00

Find your beach, my friends!

Fall in Vegas!

2010-10-11T20:22:00.000-07:00

Jodi and Rob spent the weekend in Vegas. You might call us this our annual fall sneak. Trey spent the night alone for the first time, and then Krissy and Brian came and picked him up for the BSU football game. Thanks to them, plus Grandpa too for giving him a ride back. I know you are all dying for a rundown. Our plane landed on Thursday night, and we went to dinner and a little gambling. Started real slow on the roulette table. Friday, Jodi and Rob went to the mall together and went to lunch with Kim, Tanner and Cynjin. It was great fun seeing them. That night, a bunch of us went to a comedian, Vinny Favorito. He was an insult comic, no joke, he spent on hour going around the room asking people what there name was and then insulting them! Sounds wierd, but he was actually good. Saturday, Rob went golfing during the day, and got back to the hotel in time to go see Frank Caliendo. He was ok, but Vinnie was better and cheaper. Sunday, we went to our favorite Japanese restaurant and flew home. We stayed at the Mandalay Bay this time. The pictures are sparse, but are of the view from our room on the 30th floor and Jodi. Sorry, too busy having fun to take pictures. I know most of our relatives are reluctant to go with us, but an open invitation to any readers of the blog: if you want to go to Vegas, count us in! Remember, it really not a vacation, just a weekend! Look us up and lets go!

For Trey!

2010-09-12T07:33:00.000-07:00

Its been a long time since we posted, and we don't have many pictures. Those we have, we are having trouble uploading. We will work on it. Trey wanted to report he played in his first varsity football game! He played in two JV games and dressed for one of the two previous varsity games. He is mad because we did not take pictures of his big debut, but in our defense, we had no idea he would play! (Frankly niether did he, it was a surprise to everyone) He said we missed pictures of his "pancake" blocks he allegedly made. We did not see them, but he swears coach will see them when he looks at the tape. For now, we will have to take his word for it. You can read about the 3-0 Shoshone Indians and their spunky freshman offensive and defensive lineman here: http://magicvalley.com/sports/high-school/article_e486e38d-b277-5c51-ad06-974cb37f6d77.html Sadly, the paper did not notice the "pancake" blocks either :(

Story time

2010-07-11T18:45:00.000-07:00

About 20 years ago, Rob and his friend Clint woke up one morning and decided to drive to Seattle. They were poor college students with spare time in the summer. They were at Clints apartment in Portland. He had lived there for months and it had literally no furniture, not even a bed. They saw Nolan Ryan was pitching against the Mariners and decided to drive on up to see him. Here is the approximate budget for the trip. Bleacher seats in the top level of the Kingdome looking down on home plate, $2 a piece. Kingdog $2. (Ok, maybe two kingdogs) Gas, maybe $10. They drove back after the game and solved lifes problems. Of course, life was much simplier when everything you own goes in the back of your car. The whole trip was less than $20. This weekend, our family kind of at the last moment decided to do the same thing. We got up and said lets go to a game. It was great, and with all due repect to Clint, we had fun as just a family. The parking alone cost $25. We sat in the "club" seats behind home plate next to the press box. The food choices are much better and they have waiters come to your seat. If you get tired of your seats, you can go sit at tables to eat, or in big comfy chairs. Its much better than Kingdome. We forgot camera, but have a phone picture. Jodi kept asking how far we were from where the "vampires" are from, but eventually got into the game.

2010-06-30T16:07:00.000-07:00

We have been doing some neat things lately, just keep forgetting the camera. Trey has started and finished basketball in Shoshone. He also went to football camp at Idaho St. with his new team. He did not want to go, but had fun. We have been looking for a house, and have found one we like, we just need to negoiate on it. We spend a weekend in Sun Valley, with Trey playing basketball literally all weekend. We did learn about our new area. Jodi and Rob went to Wallowa Lake for a day trip with Ron and Gwen. Gwen took some pictures, she will need to post them. It rained, so we just drove up and came back. We kind of have a month off with basketball over. Don't know what we will do, but we will try to remember the camera. We are getting pretty excited to move and get settled. These are the only pictures we have. So, enjoy.

Movin on....

2010-05-21T11:56:00.000-07:00

Are family is moving to Shoshone, Id. Rob and Trey are going in August and I am going in September. We are really going to miss our friends and family in Eastern Oregon. But, we are really, really excited to start a new life and meet some new friends. We have included some links to our new city and links regarding how our current cities feel about us leaving! Enjoy!

More Arizona Details

2010-03-31T20:26:00.000-07:00

When you go to Arizona, and you should, to watch baseball games each park has a different atmosphere. Some are like a bar, no one watches the game and its really just a party. Some are more family orientated. This time, we went to the Angels and the Mariners. The Angels is more of the party atmosphere and the traffic was terrible. The Mariners were a great family night. I would also recommend going at night. The Arizona nights this time of year are great, 80 degrees. Spring training you are so close, we sat three rows in and right by the field all for less than $20 a ticket. Already planning for next year!

Arizona!

2010-03-31T20:18:00.000-07:00

Rob and Trey went on a father son trip to Arizona. They left on Wednesday and returned on Sunday. They did spend a couple of nights at Dave's house to watch the NCAA tourney, Trey is in love with his High Def TV. They went to two baseball games and one basketball game; the Suns vs. Knicks. They also went shopping one day. Dave tried to convince them to try his local burger joint and its butter fried burger, but they held out. I think they had fun, but I am glad they are back!

Long time

2010-03-23T09:42:00.000-07:00

We know it has been a long time since a post. We have been busy with basketball every weekend! We might have some time to post this week. Rob and Trey are off to Arizona this week, so might have to catch up so we can post some pictures from the trip. Here are some pictures of our last basketball tourney. It was in Spokane, WA. So, we have action shots, plus some pictures from a visit to Gonzaga. Those catholics sure know how to build buildings! I love the old churches on campus.

Good times!

2010-01-26T20:59:00.000-08:00

One of the new years resolutions we have is to attempt to connect more with family and friends. We have already tried to invite more people on trips and call old friends. We know it is hard with people busy, but its a goal. So if anyone wants to do something, don't be shy, look us up! Here are some pictures of good times!

Busy with Basketball

2010-01-18T16:20:00.000-08:00

We are right in the middle of our busy basketball season. Trey plays school basketball which is during November and December. They play teams similar size to Echo. They won all of the games they played during the regular season and almost all of them were not close. After a couple of weeks off, they start AAU. During AAU they play bigger schools and they travel more. We are at tourneys most everyweekend. Its a lot of time spent on the road, but we will probably miss it when its over. This past weekend it started with a tourney in Pendleton. They went 2-2 but made the winners bracket. They beat Clarkston and Hermiston, but lost to Pendleton and EKU (all star team) Pretty good for our small town kids.

More Phoenix

2010-01-08T22:26:00.000-08:00

One day we went to visit Arizona St. University campus. It is a huge campus and has many shops and restaurants. We, of course, visited the sports facilities. We ate lunch, did some shopping, and Jodi, Trey and Brian hiked up to the "A" above campus.

Fiesta Bowl

2010-01-08T20:46:00.000-08:00

We are back from Phoenix:( Our activities included a Suns game, a day spent shopping at a mall or two, the Fiesta Bowl of course, and on the day we flew out a movie. In addition to that, we spent some time hiking. One day, we spent the day with Rob's friend from HS, Dave and his family. They live in Phoenix. The boys played Pinocle and the girls went for a hike. We also had dinner and snacks and upon night fall moved out to the patio for cards and visiting. It was great fun. Wayne, Brian and Ron went with us. We hope they had fun. It was great to spend time with friends and family in a wonderful area. The friends and family were great. We need to travel more with them, if they are willing. And of course, Boise won! We will be back!

Christmas!

2009-12-25T13:33:00.000-08:00

More holiday blogging. Everything is closed, so we blog as a family and for family. We began the day with Christmas gifts. A few pictures! After gifts, we had the traditional breakfast of eggs, hash browns, sausage and bacon. To spice things up this year, we used english muffins instead of toast! Risky huh? After gifts, we cleaned up breakfast, did a quick look at tv options and quickly went to the movies. Up in the Air, George Clooney! Two thumbs up. Now, we relax, most likely another movie later! Merry Christmas to all!

Christmas Eve!

2009-12-24T18:29:00.000-08:00

I know both our regular readers are very interested in our Christmas, so we blog here on Christmas Eve. Our evening begin with a family walk! We went for about an hour around the neighborhood! After our walk, we went looking to take our own advice and rent The Hangover, or our second choice Role Models, but after three places sold out, we gave up. Then, we settled in for our traditional eve activities. We set out our family feast of little smokies, a meat/cheese tray with crackers, chips, salsa, cheese, and cream puffs. Yet, before we ate, we did our gift game, with two gifts each. Jodi got a bra and a candle, (quite a combo) Trey got some Jordan sandles and I pod gift card, and Rob got a new 3 wood, as well as two hats. With no movie, we now lumber over to the coach and decide on VH1 100 best songs of the 90's! (Jewell is prettier now, and how can Man in the Box be behind Markie Mark!!!) Can't wait for more! We will try to keep you both updated on Christmas! Stay tuned.

Look away, it hideous!

2009-12-20T09:59:00.000-08:00

Here are some pictures of Rob's shingles. Its hard to capture the grossness of them in pictures, but I am sure Rob appreciates me posting these pictures. He is starting to feel better. The drugs have kicked in!

Illness strikes!

2009-12-18T07:28:00.000-08:00

Rob is going to have some time to watch movies, he has shingles. It is on his head, and is very painful. So, previously we recommended some serious movies, now in honor of him being sick and needing something to cheer him up, we recommend the comedy movies of the year. Our favorite was "The Hangover" We saw this with friends, which made it even better! Not for kids, but wonderfully adult. This may be the movie of the year! See it with friends. Two other very funny movies, both surprisingly with Paul Rudd in them, were "Role Models" and "I Love You Man!" All of these movies are sure to pick you up when you are feeling down! Again, go with friends and be in a mood to laugh. (I don't like this disturbing trend of male nudity in movies though, who ever thought that was a good idea?)

Phoenix Bound!

2009-12-13T17:01:00.000-08:00

Well, BSU made the Fiesta bowl! Again! We had so much fun last time, we are going again. This time, believe it or not, not only is Ron going with us, but Wayne and Brian T. (Krissy's husband) are joining the fun! We have 5 wonderful, warm days planned in lovely Arizona! It better be warm! We plan on basketball, golf, NFL football, and of course, the Fiesta Bowl! It should be fun, and yes, WARM! For those of you thinking of Vegas in the spring, don't worry, we will still go. Did I mention it should be WARM!

Movies we are thankful for!

2009-12-01T18:49:00.000-08:00

Everyone knows we love movies! Two movies of similar messages we recommend are The Wrestler and Funny People. The Wrestler is a movie we looked forward to for months. Finally, it came out and we were not disappointed! The basic plot is one about relationships and the basically shallow nature of them. Mickey Rourke is outstanding as a Wrestler who only seems to have "friends" when he is performing. Everyone seems to like him and it appears he has lots of friends, until he gets sick, then he wakes up alone in the hospital with no one there to help him. His only real friend is Marissa Tomei, who is an aging stripper (and another outstanding performance) who has similar problems with relationships. It is outstanding, and now on HBO, so you can watch it 50 times. Funny people is the same type of movie, and I am shocked it was not more popular. It is exactly the same. My favorite scene is when Adam Sandler, who thinks he is dying, finds out he is not and has no one to tell. So, he tells his housekeeper, who responds by telling him she has good news also, she just found his shirt she thought was lost. Outstanding performances throughout!

The Thanksgiving season

2009-11-22T19:36:00.000-08:00

With it being the Thanksgiving season, we are thankful for our long time involvement in Boise St. football. Boise St. football in our life has really not been about football, rather it has been about family. It is why we originally got interested in Boise St. football. We like spending time with our family, yet for whatever reason, we rarely get the chance to do it. When we first started going to Boise games, it was a time in Rob's life when he spent a lot of time with his dad. It was always interesting when they first started going, you had Rob and his college buddies, and his Dad. Whenever, Rob sees his friends now as adults they are always interested in talking about Ron and how he is doing. Rob has great memories of going to games with his dad and brother when they were younger. He often talks about how much fun it was to spend time with his dad, and I know he misses those trips. As grandpa stopped going to the games, Rob spent more time with his brother and has fond memories of spending time with him, too. We also go as a family, Rob, Jodi and Trey together, or sometimes just Rob and Trey, with Trampis and Randy. Boise St. football is a family affair. As the team has got more national exposure, it is kind of like a nice little story that now everyone knows about. But, we don't mind if people jump on the bandwagon, cause to us, it is about family!

Elk stand

2009-11-02T19:40:00.000-08:00

Ok, I guess it is a bit of a tradition now to climb the elk stand when the family is gathering cows at Starkey. In the spring, Brian climbed it to test it out. This time, it became a bit of a challenge, and Jodi became the first and only female known to have climbed the tree stand. Isn't she cute???

Football Final

2009-10-24T21:34:00.000-07:00

Trey had 10 guys on his 8 man football team. While they only had 10 people, they dominated like few teams have. They did not give up a point until the 5th game, and went one whole game without allowing the other team a first down. The season went really well, until a kid quit and another got in trouble, so the had to cancel the last game. Trey played all over, with only 10 kids everyone had to play lots of positions, he had fun, made some tackles, passed for some touchdowns, and made some blocks. Rob coached, and with Trey in high school next year, his jr. high coaching days are probably over for now.

Vegas part 3

2009-10-12T19:56:00.000-07:00

Saturday, we all went shopping at the mall. In the afternoon, Wayne and Penny went to the Lion King alone, since Rob and Jodi had just seen it. Rob took at nap, while Jodi went to go get us tickets to Ka! at MGM grand. Ka, is a Cirque. It is hard to describe, but its a story told via acrobatics and visual art. It was good, and we can't even begin to describe it. It is like no other show we have seen. It was the first Cirque show we have seen, and will probably see another one next time. The theater and stage itself was worth it. After the show, we went to ice cream, gambled a little, then went to bed. Sunday, we gambled again, ate breakfast and then went to the airport. A short delay, but we got back home around 8:30. It was great fun, and good to see family. We are already planning our next trip! We invite all readers of this blog to join us next time we go. It is always more fun with friends and family!

Vegas Random thoughts!

2009-10-12T19:47:00.000-07:00

I think the economy has really changed Vegas. In the past, we really enjoyed sitting in the casino, where they used to have lots of free bands, karioke, etc... and play the game "daughter or girlfriend?" Every other couple that walked by was a great candidate for this game, however, this summer and fall, not only have all the free bands and stuff gone away, we literally saw almost no couples to play the game on! I guess the economy has really changed the dating scene! Also, every casino now has dancing girls. Dancing on tables, on stages, in cages, its really wierd. Jodi and Rob kind of enjoy watching the dancing girls, its kind of interesting. But in honor of what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, we thought of taking pictures of the girls, but decided on spongebob instead!

Vegas! Again!

2009-10-12T19:38:00.000-07:00

Ok, we loved our trip to vegas during the summer so much, we decided to go again! With it only a short 2 hour flight, why not? This time, we went with Wayne and Penny! I can't speak for them, but we felt they were really good travel partners. We flew into Vegas on Thursday night around 8:30. That evening, we went to dinner and provided Wayne and Penny with our visitor orientation of the area. On Friday morning, Penny and Jodi went shopping, while Rob and Wayne went with Bill (Rob's friend) golfing. They seemed to have fun, since everyone was in a good mood upon return. We then met Kim and Garry for dinner at the Claim Jumper. (Wayne paid!) Then it was off to the Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian. Last time we sat in the third row, this time we were in the balcony, which may have been better seats! It was great again. I hope Kim and Garry had fun, it was fun seeing them! So, two thumbs up for Friday!

Pearl Jam review

2009-09-28T18:47:00.000-07:00

Since I promised a Pearl Jam review, and I know regular readers of the blog (both of ya) are on the edge of your seat, a Pearl Jam review it is. Saturday night, Jodi and Rob attended the previously mentioned Pearl Jam concert. Trey stayed at the motel. He was invited, but did not want to go. The first hour of the concert was almost exclusively new songs, some good, some not so good. Its hard to sell angst when you are a multi millionaire I guess. Pearl Jam is anti -pop, no light show, no curtain, they started the show by walking on stage and saying "good evening" then right into the music. The last hour was gold, solid gold. While they did not play at least 5 songs they should have, the last hour was one hit after another from the "old days." The place was completely sold out, and everyone was signing along. Everyone should see them at least once in life! The observation I would make, not to get all philosophical on ya, but Eddie Vedder looked old. A little gray in his beard and hair, a few wrinkles on his face. So, by extension if Eddie is old, we all are old. There is my philosophical thought of the day. (by the way, he really did wear boots and flannel, they haven't changed wardrobe in years)

Pearl Jam! Yes, Pearl Jam.

2009-09-24T21:09:00.000-07:00

We plan on breaking out the flannel and the timerland boots this weekend. It is off to Pearl Jam on Saturday night. We are looking forward to this walk down memory lane. Most who know us know we like concerts and have for years, but somehow have missed Pearl Jam. Full report to follow.....

Football update

2009-09-19T08:55:00.000-07:00

An update for Trey's football team. Since our last update, they have won two more games. In three games this year, they have not allowed the other team to score in any of them. They have scored at least 40 points in each game. Pretty good for a team with only 10 players. They play 8 man football.

Week that was

2009-09-07T19:10:00.000-07:00

No new pictures, just old ones. On Thursday night, Wayne was nice enough to go with Rob, Trey and Trampis to the Boise St. Oregon game. It was fun and Boise won. Friday morning, Rob and Trey had to get up early and head to Imbler for Trey's first football game of the season. He played well and the team played well, they won 40-0! That evening, Jodi met them in LaGrande and they drove back to Boise for the weekend. Saturday was for shopping, we went to the Nike store, the Mall, Costco, and other stores. We were thinking of a movie, but couldn't find one, so we watched a football game and went to bed. Sunday was more of the same, back to the Nike store, then we went and checked out the new mall in Nampa near the car store. It really isn't done yet, all it has so far is JC Pennys and Sports Authority. Jodi and Rob went to a movie, Extract, only average. The whole family went to Outback for dinner. It was good but they really raised the prices. It cost $80 for the three of us to eat dinner. Then we went home and watched another football game. Monday, we basically just got ready and drove home. Pretty boring, huh!

Happy Birthday Trey!

2009-08-23T19:24:00.000-07:00

Trey is 14. We celebrated his birthday Saturday. He wanted to do some shopping, so we took him to Best buy to buy some stuff for his I pod he got for his birthday. We then went to the movies, Post Grad. It was ok. We then went to a few more stores, then home to test out some of his new stuff. We got a birthday cake at Dairy Queen. Jodi planned on stopping at a few stores, then we were going to go to dinner and another movie. Well Jodi got a flat tire. The only place open was Sears to fix the tire, so Jodi went there. Trey was hungry and tired of waiting, so Rob and Trey ordered Pizza from Pizza Hut and that was the birthday dinner! She did get home in time to go to another movie Trey wanted to see, District 9, which he really liked. Then, off to bed. Happy birthday Trey!

Wildlife

2009-08-22T23:16:00.001-07:00

Last weekend, we went to Boise via Sumpter. This is a fun trip to take in the summer and you often see wildlife. Jodi had her camera ready in case we saw another cougar, but no cougar. We did see this herd of deer and elk, mingling together on the lawn of a house in Sumpter. A herd of elk was there also, but this is the only picture that turned out.

High Lakes hike

2009-08-09T22:29:00.001-07:00

This last weekend, we went for our annual hike in the high lakes. We planned on hiking to Chimney lake. We left the house with the plan to be at the trailhead at12:00 noon. We had two problems. The first problem was we went to the wrong trailhead. We turned around and then went to what we thought was the right spot. As we went about a mile, we realized we were on the trail to Maxwell lake, not Chimney lake. So, we turned around. We left at 3:00. That gave us about 5 hours to hike up the hill four miles then down the hill four miles. We made it to the lake at 5:45 stopped for about 15 minutes then turned around. We had to skip our planned jump in the lake, for two reasons: it was cold and we wanted to get back before dark! We made it back to the truck at 8:30, just after dark. When we left the trailhead, we figured it was too late for our annual dinner at the little drive in at Wallowa. However, much to our suprise, as we got there at 9:30, we were pleasantly suprised it was open! So, a nice way to top off the hike.

Starkey

2009-08-07T20:24:00.000-07:00

We also really like going to Starkey. We try to go often, sometimes just a ride up there in the evening during the summer time. Sometimes we take the four wheeler, or sometimes we hike around. Sometimes we look for a place to put a cabin! It is more fun when we have others to go with though. These pictures show how much fun it can be!

Hiking

2009-08-07T19:47:00.000-07:00

We do like to hike. Here are some pictures from our hike last year. We went to Red's Horse Ranch and back in one day. We had planned on camping at the trailhead in the back of the truck, but after hiking for 18 miles, we decided we did not want to sleep in the back of the truck. So, we went to Ron and Gwens house, took a shower, got pizza and headed for home (then sit in the hot tub). We were all very sore the next day, so we are glad we went home.

Ode to Trey

2009-08-04T17:16:00.000-07:00

Trey is a great kid and an important part of our family! Being an only child has benefits and disadvantages, but it is not easy. He handles it well! As a child, he grew up with a lot of adult things, since he was surrounded by adults. So far, he still seems to like spending time with his parents, which we appreciate. He is generous with the other children Jodi has in her day care. He is helpful around the house. He is very intelligent, and can discuss most any subject with you in a mature fashion. He is not perfect, but he is a good kid. We love you Trey!

The unknown!

2009-07-31T18:09:00.000-07:00

Everything we own is for sale! We are trying to simplify life. We love our house, it is wonderful. It has the perfect layout we all love and if we built a house we would only change a few things. But, after close to 15 years in one town, we are ready for a change. Many have asked why we are moving, and where to? Just because it is time, and we don't know. We told ourselves to not even worry about anything until we sell the house, but it still is a worry because of the unknown. But, its kind of fun, when we sell, we have some options and choices to make. Hopefully, it will work out better for our family!

Catch up

Since we just started blogging, we are doing some catch up on our pictures and stories. Here are some pictures from Rob and Trey, who went with Randy and Trampis to Arizona for Spring break. They had great fun and hope to do it again. Few things are as nice as Arizona in springtime. Its 80 degrees each day, lots to do, great food. Part of the visit was a trip to Arizona St. After about two minutes on campus, Trey and Trampis decided they wanted to go there and Rob and Randy wish they did go there!

Las Vegas Part II

Ok, the last post covered the day time. While I don't like golf, (over shopping) I do like Rob (sometimes). So in the evening, we went out to lots of fun stuff. We went to Phantom of the Opera one night, and Lion King another night. We tried to make another show the third night, but after running down the strip in 115 degree heat, we just missed the show. So, we had to walk back. Rob's secretary Beth and her friend Brandi went with us. We went shopping, pooling and went to the spa for massages why Rob was doing man things with Bill. So, it was fun for me to have some friends along. Here we are right before Phantom, which I highly recommend by the way. Not as good as the massage, but a fun night out!

Las Vegas Part 1

2009-07-30T22:32:00.000-07:00

Jodi and Rob recently went on a "adult" vacation to Las Vegas. "Adult" means only adults went! Not "R" rated stuff, strictly "PG-13" for inquiring minds! One of the fun parts of Las Vegas is seeing Bill Beauchamp and his wife Gerri. Bill is Rob's best friend. Bill used to teach with Rob, but retired to Las Vegas. On the one hand, it is pretty sad his best friend is 65 years old. But, he is a "young" 65 and Rob is an "old" 40 so they fit. They get along so well its fun to see Rob so happy. He spent most of the day with him playing golf or whatever?, which allowed me to go shopping, to the pool, and with the girls to a spa day none of which Rob likes to do. Here is a picture of Bill and Gerri and Rob and Bill in the Mandalay Bay!

We will try this!

Ok, we are going to try a blog. Everyone else seems to be doing one, so why not. Just don't get your expectations too high. We may not post too many times. From these pictures you can see why we won't be posting too much, we are busy! But, with the three of us all posting, we might be able to keep up.
