Mardi Gras

What a night! What a night! Feb 1, 2008 we went to a Mardi Gras celebration held to generate money for Stevie's school. We had so much fun. There was a silent auction, a live auction, wine, mixed drinks, dancing, and to top it all off, no kids! We had a ball. Even my parents had a good time.

They are a handsome couple... if I do say so myself. Mom bid on two kind of odd plaques made of corks from wine bottles. Now, one of them is hanging in the kitchen and the other went to a garage sale. You really only need one odd cork thingy. And Dad didn't really want to go and I think he didn't want to go becuase he knew that he would bid on something. There is a picture of that something toward the end of this post.



The last time we took a pic like this was my wedding. We all looked damn good that night!


This is a picture of my girlfriends. Colleen is in the middle and Staci is on the end. We have become such good friends sense the beginning of the school year. And the awesome thing is that our kids play so well together too!

The fablous green wigged girl is Irinel and she is a freind too. She is the bell of the ball and also a ton of fun.


This shot took me back to the good ol' college days...we are taking a clevage shot and the only thing we acomplished to so look like weight lifter wanabees! Mom was in the shot to begin with and when she figured out what we were doing, she quickly removed herself. Too funny!

Dad won a sage fly rod this night and was very proud of it! And rightly so! This is rod is over $1000 dollar value and Dad got if for $500. They don't call him Lucky Lynn for nothing....but the bidding was really low that night over all and Dad thought he would just help the dollar amount go up by bidding just a little. I can't say he was disapointed when he won just a little surprised it sold for so small amount. Oh well, you can never have too many fly rods....right Dad?!?!

A little picture of me!
