NOT A Good Sports Week!!!

This week was a bad sports week for us in the Rogers' household. As you all know, the Cowboys started off the week with a loss to the NY Giants. I think I have finally (not really, nor ever will) gotten over that heartbreak, at least I have stopped crying!!! The Superbowl is set. The New England Patriots Vs. New York Giants. I really have no interest in this game (I know, I know, it's sad, but true). I hate the Pats (the current NFL dynasty, Superbowl every other year about, Can't stand the coach) and hate the Giants (Same division as Cowboys, Beat Cowboys in Playoffs) If I had to pick one team and only one team to cheer for, it would be the Patriots. They will be going for perfection by winning the Superbowl and going 19-0 in a season (which has never happened). The closest to 19-0 was the 1972 Miami Dolphins who went 17-0 and the 1985 Chicago Bears who went 19-1. I guess if I have so subject myself with something, it might as well be history!!!

Then Braydon and I ended going to the BYU vs. UNLV basketball game. BYU got KILLED!!! It was not even close. They ended up losing by 29 points, I guess the bright lights of Vegas BLINDED the Cougars as they drove in!!! Thy did end up beating the Utes on Saturday in SLC. I was working and not able to see any of the game.

Braydon got a X-mas gift card from the Weights. I didn't want to pick it out and wanted to be surprised. I went shopping to Target hoping to find a Post X-mas clearance sale (in which I did) and found him a cool Firefighter Boat Lego set that actually floats in water. He loved it and has been begging for us to fill the tub up again so he can "REALLY play it the RIGHT way in the WATER!!" We informed him that it was to be played with in the water ONLY with parental supervision.

We had a date night (Adults ONLY) with two other couples on Friday Night. We ended up eating at the Seasons Buffet at the Silverton Casino. It was actually quite good. It was Seafood Night with shrimp and Crab legs that you can have cold or warmed up. We then when to the Movies to see 27 Dresses. It was a typical "Chick-Flick" but all had an enjoyable evening without children!!

Other then that, it has been the same old stuff. I'm working, Katie's cleaning, and Braydon's going to school. We will be in Utah this weekend. I have Friday off and Braydon has no school so we will leave Thursday night after work and then drive back home Sunday afternoon.

We have updated our Photo Album with 5 new Albums (Lanier's in Vegas, Guest Bathroom, New Lego's, Braydon's Projects, and BYU @ UNLV) so take some time and check them out.

Woof woof! You're a Bernese!

No bones about it, you're a good-hearted, people-loving Bernese Mountain Dog. Down-to-earth and loyal, no one works or plays harder than you do. You put your nose to the grindstone when it really counts, but you never neglect your social calendar. Simultaneously strong and sweet, you're very tuned-in to the feelings and needs of the other dogs you run with. Without having to be asked, you always have a helping paw to lend and a sympathetic shoulder to lean on. "Communication" is your middle name, and when that's paired with your unswerving devotion, you get a breed that everyone respects and trusts. Woof!

Katie and I got this link to find out what type of dog we were from Katie's sister. It was pretty interesting to find out that Katie and I are both Bernese. We have never heard of that breed but we both have some similarities. Find out for yourself what breed you would be!!!

P.S. Thanks for all the condolences that have been offered to me considering MY Cowboys lost yesterday. I will be taking donations for the "Are You SURE the Cowboys Lost" fund. All proceeds will benefit those in need at this time (Braydon and I). Please contact us on this website with your donation information!!!!

P.S.S Look two post in two days, I'm good!!!!

Happy New Year's!!! (OK, only 2 weeks late)

We have been extremely busy the last two weeks. During the end of December and beginning of January we hosted Katie's family. We had Katie's parents, all of her sisters, two brother-in-laws, a baby niece, and an uncle and aunt. All rooms (even all air mats and couches) were full. We spent most of our time playing games, eating, shopping, going out to eat, home poker games, plenty trips to a few of our local casinos, eating, watching movies, going to movie theater, and more games. It was good to have everyone here and I felt that all had a good time with no complaints. With that many people, its just hard to do one thing that everyone "wants" to do but I believe we did a pretty good job.

After Katie's family left, we had a day to pick up, clean for our next guess to arrive. My sister and her family came down for their wedding anniversary and a nephew's birthday. Angela and Jon went to the Las Vegas Temple Friday night while we watched the kids. The next day we went to the Strip to the MGM Casino to see the lions, M & M world, Coca-Cola World, Bellagio Casino to see the water show (that didn't happen after we walked 20 minutes with kids due to high winds), and Slots of Fun to have a one of their famous Half Pound, Foot long hot dogs for $.99. Katie and I like ours with nacho cheese, Jon got his with chili, and the kid got theirs with the regular ketchup and mustard. We then drove down the strip see the pirates ship at Treasure Island. We all went to church on Sunday and had Alex's birthday party that night. Braydon's friends Ryan and Sierra also came to the party.

Other then that, I've been working, Braydon is back is school, and Katie is managing the house. Check out my sisters website to look at some picture since we forgot our camera and she hasn't emailed them to me yet.

Sports Update: The NFL playoff are here (that's why I changed my background). I will be attending the UNLV vs BYU basketball game this week with Braydon, Mike, and Ryan so pictures will be coming of that. Jazz have been struggling and hopefully they will turn it around.
