7 Ate 9

I tried out another new game with Kerby and Nancy and I liked it a lot. It was really challenging for me to do, you have to think a lot and I like that! It's from the company Out of the Box just like this other fun game Run Wild. I love how Out of the Box has nice plastic or metal boxes for their games, paper boxes do not last well in my house so I really like their boxes! In this game 7 Ate 9 you don't take turns just like in Run Wild and you have to constantly be thinking, don't worry though the game goes fast. That's what Kerby likes about these games. In this one you have to add and subtract numbers that are on certain cards. It's fast paced, short and exciting! It's a lot of fun, I even got the hang of it and won a few times. It makes me realize how much I need to touch up on my math skills. Actually I probably should go to school again and retake math. Haha! NO WAY! Well, if anyone wants to have a game night I'm soooo in. I LOVE games!

 

Fishin' Opoly

 Jared and Mandee gave us Fishin' Opoly for Christmas, we played it for the first time. Kadin and Levi really liked it a lot. By the time we read through the rules (because we haven't played Monopoly for years) and got started Fisher had fallen asleep.

 Levi thinks he needs to stand on the chair to read everything.

 I think I'm going to lose! I've got $35 left!!!

 Levi's killin' it!

Guess what? I WON! I went from rock bottom to winning! Wahoo! Fun game and now the kids want to play it again! I do too, of course!

Here it is on Amazon for you gamers or collectors of Monopoly games.

Going away party for Kylee and new game

My youngest sister Kylee left to move to North Carolina today so last night I had a going away party for her. We had lots of yummy food and played tons of fun games like on of my new favorites "Run Wild". I'm glad we could all get together one last time and have such a fun time before she left, wish Maren was there though. I love you Kylee and I'll miss you so much! Thanks for being the awesome, generous, kind, helpful sister that you are! Drive safe and come home soon. 
Nate and Angela gave us a fun new game for Christmas and we decided to play it.  It's one of the funnest games I've played or watched being played.You've got to try it!! Who's up for a game night? They renamed the game Dodgehead which is more fitting, the main game you play with it is throwing the balls at the head of the person wearing the velcro hat. We played a version that's in the instructions and then made up our own which was super fun!
I've found it on Amazon if you want to check it out.

Here are some pics of the kids playing the version the game came with. You blindfold the player and put the velcro hat on their head then you time them while their team shouts directions of where to go to find the balls the other team hid on the floor.

Ben

 Kendyl (who just got her tonsils out yesterday, she didn't play much at all)

 Jonah

 Cameron, he was the winner with 43 seconds.

 Levi

 Gage

 Kadin

 Easton

We made up our own version where 2 of us are blindfolded and try to race to get the most amount of balls, this is the first race, it's between Carrie and Kylee! Maybe you had to be there to think these are funny, maybe not. I'm still laughing!!! Oh and before I'm disowned as a sister, let me remind all my sisters before you say you're disowning me that you knew I was recording for my blog. :D

Here is a movie I made from all of it, after this video are the individual videos if you want to watch them. Sorry they're so dark.

This next video is Tina and I racing each other. That is so hard to hear, there's so much noise going on. Notice my hair got stuck all over the Velcro? That hurt a little.

Kylee and Tina and a lot of that wasn't fair! Even though grandma was blocking Kylee's way with her leg at the end.

Tina and Kylee again, they had to have a rematch!

Carrie and I, and for the record I did not! Oh and I kept slapping her butt because I didn't think I had hit it the first time, I thought I was slapping her leg. Man, I'm not good at this, I can't hear anything. I lost every time! My hair doesn't want to stay out of the velcro either.

Kylee and Carrie, with "Rocky" playing in the background. Definitely some MORE cheating going on!

Carrie and Kylee rematch. Someone, I think my mom was yelling "over there, over there", mom they can't see!

Kylee and Carrie again, best out of 3. Kylee won! Kylee pretty much rocked! I was a little scared for my piano and piano bench though. Man they're all fast, I felt so slow, I'll have to practice with my kids before I play with them again. Then again I never cheated!

Kylee and I and I soooo had that one! Even though I suck I didn't want to stop playing this game but people had to leave so we wanted to play another game. It was a fun night!

Happy New Years Eve everyone!

Run Wild

We tried a new game called "Run Wild" by Out of the Box. I got it at Deseret Book for $10 before we went to Nevada for Thanksgiving. I wanted to play it with lots of people so I could get some different reviews for you all to read. Personally I really enjoy the game! It's for 2 to 4 players. It's more fun with 4 players. I'm thinking about buying another set so that we can have 4 to 8 players. This is a game where you need to think and move quickly, especially with more players. With the right group it can be really fun and exciting. You all go at the same time instead of taking turns which makes it fun. It's easy to understand and catch on quickly. It's quick and simple, yet fun!

Levi's review- "After I understood how to do it and what runs and sets were it was fun can we play it again every night?"

 

 Kadin's review- "well it was hard at first but now I really like it and want to play it again."

Kerby's review- "It was ok, do I have to play it again?" (He doesn't like games but humors me sometimes) NOW a day after I post it he texts me and says "I really like that game because everyone goes at once, no waiting around for your turn. I wonder if there are other games that could be done that way."

 Just having a little break at work!

Audrey's review- "I think that it was a way fun game and perfect for the holidays and family time."

 Amanda's review- "The game is more fun than I thought it would be. It really gets you thinking but at the same time isn't too difficult. I give 'Run Wild' 2 thumbs up!"

 Julie's review- "I loved Run Wild...everyone can play at the same time...no waitin for turns...it goes fast...there is no getting bored...it is easy to learn...easy to take places...fun for all ages."

 NOOOOOOOOO I'm using that card!

Jared's review- "Super intense and lots of fun." (I think Kerby would enjoy it if he played with Jared!)

Mandee's review- "I thought you were too slow and could never have beaten me :-). So it was too easy for me. Okay, I thought it was fun. It was rummy except everyone plays at once. Kind of crazy but I liked it!"

Nancy's review- "Easy to learn, fun to play. I like games that don't take a long time to learn or have lots of complicated rules. This game wasn't like that. You can basically sit down and start playing, but it's still fun.
