Duddley's Draft Party

Fantasy football is almost a religion in our house. Duane plays in several fantasy leagues, and football takes over our televisions during the NFL's season. Drafting the players is quite the event; cheers & jeers (mostly from Duane) are thrown around as each player is selected.

Jace lays out the rules...

Comparing notes & checking on the other leagues...

The commish, hard at work...

Decisions, Decisions...

Research...Research...Research...

Must. Draft. Well.

Having a bit of fun with the "extra" stickers...

Duane is confident in his team, The Cream, and he surely hopes it will rise to the top!

Summer Dart Banquet

Dart Banquet is a time for celebrating the season and spending time with good friends. This summer's banquet was no exception! The team had a pretty good haul, and Duane won a flash light (which he promptly traded for a fry daddy).

2nd place (again)...

Duane got a special award from Gail because he was able to sub for himself while we were in Las Vegas on vacation!

What a great afternoon!

Wanna Bet?!?!?!

Duane's family is very involved in Autism care & support, and we participate whenever we can.  We recently attended the FACES Casino Night in Cypress.  OMG---So. Much. Fun!!!!  Dinner was great; the gambling was good, but the company and the cause were FANTASTIC!!!

Standing in line to get dinner...

Enjoying dinner with the family...

LOTS of people were there!

Playing blackjack with Margaret...

This is my brain on math! 

 World Series of Poker, right here in Houston, Texas!

Or, that is how those Kersten men played it anyway!

Uncle Duane was the big winner at the table!!!

Aunt Patsy, working the room...

...and the winner is: NOT Denise or Duane!

oh well... 

 Great pic of Duane's cousin, Kim,  and her husband, Drew! They won one of the trips!

Uncle Larry 

 A big Thanks from the board to all of the supporters and participants! 

A few words from Aunt Patsy... 

We had a great time and are looking forward to next year!!!

Bombers Baseball

Ashley Furniture reserved the party patio for a Bombers baseball game! Duane & I had lots of fun!!! GO BOMBERS!

Cowboy Up!

We attended a charity event in Houston for an Autism foundation, and the theme was country & western, so Duane had to have a hat. Looks pretty good on him!
