Birthday Girls + Last Winnings!

These celebrated their birthdays together! Happy Birthday Mom, (cousin) Livi and Grams! Love these ladies! They had the best time and it was so cool to be together celebrating! I must also mention that it was Grandpa Wade's Birthday too. Happy Birthday, Grandpa Wade!




Hot August Nights!


This event is bananas! So many cars from all over come to teeny tiny Reno to show it off!

I have a video...on my laptop that I'm having technical difficulty with but stay tuned.

They did a car parade and it was pretty awesome ::vroom vroom:: I was impressed and I'm not easily impressed by cars.




And, the final night of Circus Circus. I could really do no more than 3 nights...neither could our wallets. The kids loved the games and even we got a bit carried away...



on this EVIL GAME! SMURFS. Look at those cute smurfs. Don't you just want to cuddle them and take them home? Because WE DID! I never want anything - the kids know they can have 3 then the rest go to friends or Goodwill. I'm not a fan of dust collectors BUT Smurfs? I wanted one...for the children of course.



$0.25 just hit it 4x on any part of the red dot. $7.00 later Papa Smurf was ours. Daddy looked at me "should we try for the big guy?" HECK NO!





Dev was SO happy. Elated really. Maybe even more joyous. Good work, Daddy!




"I'm winning for my friends." - Madi

She had the hardest time giving up her "winnings" but we all knew the rules when we started playing. And, now they are like faded memories for Madi (instead of on my floor collecting dust but with a friend who probably adores that Madi won it for her).




My little hoarder was happy to win and be on her own with her cousin, Livi. She's growing up way too fast! I miss her powowing around with us. She's crossed over to the big girl side. Sad.





I really wanted Tyler to get a hat like that and he surprised me when he actually won it! That was a WHOLE lot of tickets at the arcade. Good work, Tyler! And, Isa...oh Isa, she won a HUGE banana like that at the Puyallup Fair that is loooonnnngggg gone to Goodwill. I could barely stand that thing it was an obstacle in her room. It had a rip in it...then off to the Goodwill graveyard it went. So, what does she do? She wins another one. Mini size at least, right?





Have you ever seen a happier boy? The girls won mini sized Smurfs too except for Madi. Grandpa Eddie took them to see it before we left so they were in Smurf Love through our trip to Reno.
