ALS Walk in Las Vegas

Thank you to everyone that walked "in memory of" my father, Craig Mackey on September 13th. We were back in our home town of Las Vegas, Nevada. We really had a nice turn out. I am not exactly sure how much money our team actually raised but I do know that every penny helps.
I really wished that things were different, and that we would have been walking "in honor of" my daddy, but life has a way of changing in an instant. He has always and will always mean the world to me!
Daddy...I love you and I wouldn't be the woman I am today if it weren't for you in my life.

Tuck N Roll

"We always walk home"

Some of you may have heard of "Tuck N Roll"...for those of you that have not, it is a bowling that consists of my boyfriend Keith and his best friends Tyson, Spam (Ryan) and Hair (David). They have been "Tuck N Roll" for the last 5 years running. I believe that this is the first year making it to the finals. So congratulations boys!!! Go get um!!!

Their victory Jeger shot!

This is my favorite time of the year!

I love Thanksgiving. It is by far my favorite holiday in the whole world! I love it because this is the one holiday that my family gets together. We don't have small children in the family anymore. So there really isn't a need to have the great big Santa Claus surprises like we used to. I guess when you are a little older cooking and eating all day long is a lot more fun!

Usually in the Mackey/Betty households my Nane and I are in the kitchen cooking and preparing all day. Mom will squeeze in after the Turkey is in the oven and help with all the fixens. Then there is the crucial nap time for everyone. Soon after our nap, Alex will begin making the cocktails. By the time we are ready for dinner and wine we are all a little sauced. It really is a great tradition! With football in the background and snacks all day long...I just don't know why this only happens one time a year!

Unfortunately, this year, and every other for that matter, we will be missing one very important ingredient.
