Rook Tournament

Saturday night the Lambert's hosted a Rook Tournament at their house in Helena. Matt and Jen had a great set-up - 3 card tables, a big screen TV, pizza, wings, and plenty of desserts. I encourage them to host more Rook tournaments. Amy and I finished a grueling game with the Horton's, during which both teams battled to very large negative scores early on. We managed to come out on top about an hour later, about the time everyone else was finishing their second game. We played Jon and Danya next. They edged us by a mere 10 points, which was a moral victory for us. This didn't appear to be their first Rook tournament.
Kevin and Rachel Horton in good spirits after taking it on the chin from the Prickett's. I think they enjoyed a little time away from sweet Shelby, even though she is beautiful. Playing with Shelby at the Seahorn's a few weeks ago got me even more excited about becoming a Dad.








Courtney Whisenant and David Couch. David is holding up pretty well after his Bulldogs suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Tulane Green Wave. Courtney has been very supportive during this tough time, being very careful not to gloat as her Alma Mater took care of the Bayou Bengals earlier in the day. What pass interference?






Curt and Anna Atkinson. Another MSU grad, Curt looks pretty exhausted after taking his frustrations out on a few dove earlier in the day, Anna, thanks for keeping your eyes open for this picture. I think we took 3 or 4! Evidently this is pretty rare. Curt says she's asleep 20 minutes in to their drive up from Lake Charles, La.







Jon and Danya Wright, worthy adversaries. We shall meet again. We will take down the card shark and his wife, who by the way, like Jen, is also a great hostess.


Thanks again to Matt and Jen for having us all over!

Cute pics! I'm excited because I just figured out how to leave a comment on here - I thought I had to have a password!! Anyway, just FYI Danya and Jon were finally beaten by me and Curt! Winning at least once was a good thing!! Very cute pic of Emily by the way, I love the way she's waving.

Blog looks great! Jon and I were defeated in our last game of the night by Anna and Curt, but we really enjoyed it anyway. We are loving the time together with our friends. I hope we all continue to see as much of each other. We look forward to Emily sharing this time with us as well.
