hi from vegas

hi all-
well, we've made it to Vegas! Ryan and Billy (his WRS partner) are off to their conference and i'm enjoying the quietness of our room here at NEW YORK.NEW YORK! yesterday, i sat out by the pool for about 2 hours...READING!!! something i never find time to do anymore. last night, the 3 of us walked around the MGM hotel, watching people (interesting, very interesting) and looking for a place to eat. we finally decided on the rainforest cafe. had a nice dinner and then up to our room to watch American Idol. what's up with Kristy Lee Cook still being on????? anyway, that's a whole other blog entry! rye and i then went and got Ben and Jerry's at 11. (wheres the gym?) this morning i slept in! something i also haven't done since our cruise!
not much else to write about. tomorrow, joann, billys wife will be here so i'll have a 'partner in crime' to shop with! :) billy and rye will be off to drive a NASCAR!!! i'll make him take lots of pictures. thanks for checking in. hopefully, tomorrow will have some exciting news........

we could say "NO", no more..........

'movie night' is usually on Friday nights over at the likkels, but since the boys were all gone last night, tonight is the night. BUT this is no ordinary movie night....it's the introduction to STAR WARS!!!! ever since Disneyland, the boys have been 'living and breathing' star wars! it must have been all the 'jedi training'!! rye and i 'caved' and finally decided to let them watch it. my husband is a HUGE star wars fan so he was thrilled to be able to introduce this to his boys, i ,on the other hand, don't care AT ALL but it's ALL we've heard about this week!! so, as i speak, the movie is blaring (for some reason, the movie is BETTER when it's LOUD! i don't get it) , the popcorn is popping and all the lights are off! perfect movie conditions! so, i snapped a few pictures of them 'hunkering down'. :)
