Mom & Dad Visit

My mom & dad visited us last weekend. As a birthday present for both Tommie & I, they took us out to a fancy-schmancy dinner. We had a great time! After dinner, we stopped at the riverboat casino to take a look around. I've never been to a casino, but I can say that it was disappointing compared to all of the Oceans movies! I didn't realize that they allow smoking on the casino floor, so we were all ready to get out of there after about 20 minutes. We did play one nickel slot machine just for fun & put one dollar into it. It lasted us about 10 minutes or so - we took turns pushing the button. Then, we went home to play cards! When we play cards, we usually pair up - men vs. women. Too bad we weren't betting on the cards at home - my mom & I would have been able to do some serious shopping with all of our good luck!! ha, ha
I love when my mom & dad visit. They take time to spend with each of the boys and help us with any projects we need help with. My dad is a pretty good handy-man and my mom is an expert on all things fabric, sewing & quilting.

Mom - helping me with my curtain sewing project!
Dad - playing cards with Franklin!

Aren't you glad you moved? I love that you already have family memories. Yeah! I am surprised they let you take the pictures in the casino. I tried once and got in trouble.
