ShannonAlbert.com - June 2009

On Wednesday, we attended the Spencers Magic Show at WSU. Blake loves magic and I've always wanted to take him to a real show (and it's also part of the reason I'd love to take the kids to Vegas for a few days). The Spencers show was just right for him and featured several different types of tricks - cut the girl in half, ESP, Houdini escape as well as some basic scarf/hat tricks. He loved it. Andy knew how one of the tricks was done and has re-created it at home much to Blake's amazement. Kevin Spencer reminded me a lot of Jeff Probst with his cheesy exhuberance but it was a good show for Blake and hopefully we'll make it to one of the big shows in Vegas in the near future.

Mark made this to give them for their wedding. It's a mosaic of family pics and when you put them all together, it shows the Chiefs arrowhead.



More pics of the festivities here.

Drove to Dallas for a wedding and here's a quick rundown....

-attended Lion King musical w/Nicki and our 5 year olds. Expected it to be 10/10 and it was more like 7/10. Very long, some spectacular performances, some slow points. Blake slept the last 45 minutes.
-Rehearsal dinner at Golden Corral.
-Cupcakes w/Amanda on Saturday morning at Sprinkles Bakery. Cupcakes didn't live up to their reputation but they were pretty and good. Best of all, it was good to see Amanda. Finally got to give her birthday gift to her and she loved it. Hope to post pics soon.
-Wedding at 2. Blake ended up outside during the ceremony w/many of his cousins. Catholic ceremonies and little kids aren't a good mix.
-Reception at 6. Nothing better than alcohol from a stroller.
-Drove home Sunday. Kansas got cold.
