Vegas Revolution episode!

Hollywood here we come! The "Indulgence" episode of Vegas Revolution aired on the Travel Channel on 12/25 with filler clips of myself, Gordon and his parents (Steve & Jackie). For all the details about how we ended up on an episode of the Travel Channel see our blog entitled "Viva Las Vegas!" posted on 10/21/08.

Gordon and I are trying to figure out how to get a DVD copy of the episode, but in the meantime I videotaped the TV and downloaded the segment to our blog. You can see us in 16 different clips throughout the 5 minute segment. Sorry about the camera movement during the video... I tried my best! Click on the link below to view it on YouTube. Enjoy :)

Holiday Time 2008


Last weekend , Gordon and I hosted a cocktail party for my employees and their spouses at our home. We are very grateful for the success of my team this year and we felt they deserved a party to thank them for all of their contributions. There was a lot of laughter and good times~ we had a great time with a game Gordon came up with... each team member submitted a song that they felt best represented them--no matter from what era or the reason why , which led to a lot of comedy in and of itself. We played them throughout the night and everyone tried to guess which song belonged to each person , and there were prizes for the most correct number of guesses . It was a blast!

Next Saturday we are traveling up to Wisconsin to spend the weekend with Drake and Gordon's parents. On Tuesday we will be flying to Las Vegas for Christmas. I will be sure to take lots of photos to share with everyone!

Drake's 3rd Birthday and Thanksgiving


Gordon and I just got back from spending the Holidays with family in Wisconsin. We had a wonderful time! It was also Drake's 3rd birthday~ he was very excited to get a powerwheels Motorcycle from his Nana and Papa, a Handy Manny tool set from Aunt Megan, Uncle Shawn and the girls, and a Doctor's play set, new puzzle book, and Hot Wheels cars from Daddy & me. We had so much fun with him and the whole family!
It was entertaining to watch Drake interact with his cousin Taylor (they are about 5 months apart in age) they both played very well together, sharing toys and playing pretend. At one point they were "going grocery shopping" which consisted of Taylor listing off all the things they needed to buy while Drake followed her around the house, sometimes even carrying her purse! He was quite the gentlemen, just like his Daddy!
