Rook...a family tradition!


Rook is a family tradition in Dan's family, and we love to play. Rook goes back four generations of Ulrichs until now...Londyn is the fifth generation Rook player! She had a BLAST!!! :) What a little cutie. On a more personal connection with the game, I can honestly say that playing Rook has created some of the greatest memories of mine in the Ulrich family. Winning streaks, losing streaks, Dad's fun naming of the teams, laughing, learning a million lessons (the hard way), re-deals, Dad getting all 4 tens in the widow (at Max's baby blessing), and just plain, good, hard F...U...N!!!! Thanks for playing with us guys!
P.S. Mike and Jess....you have GOT to LEARN...just let it happen. :)
Ty and Whit...start preparing now.

I love Rook, too...but I haven't played in YEARS!! I remember playing Rook with Grandma M. DO you??

Those pictures of Londyn are SO STINKIN' CUTE!!! I can't get over how much she looks like YOU!!

PS...what kind of Colgate toothpaste do you have to get at Walgreens?? I have to go to Walgreens already today so I want to get some...is it ALL Colgate Toothpaste? What kind would you recommend (I'm a Crest girl, so I don't know what kind of Colgate is good!) But, if it's free it's definitely worth a try! Thanks for always sharing your deals! =D

I love the bottom middle one of her 'deep thought' look. How fun to have a family game that everyone can enjoy!

What cute pictures of Londyn...that was fun watching them unfold as we played ROOK! It is fun to make memories at the ROOK table!!! We have great memories of playing with Grandpa Ulrich so it is fun to be making MORE memories with all of you! Get the cards ready...we'll be down the end of the month!!!
Love Grandma Julie

I'm so glad I found your blog, hope you don't mind that I put you on my blog and then I can see what's going on with your cute family. Again, I love your pictures!

I love your photoshop skills--you're amazing! I have elements, but I'm just barely figuring out how to use it. maybe someday I'll be able to make my pictures look that good...hard to believe, though! :-)
