Marvel Scene It!

Our friends the Schwabs came over on Monday night for a little get together. A little food, a little chatting, and a flat out WAR! Kelly has taught their oldest son Tyler until he graduated last spring. Now, Tyler is a big nerd like Kelly - big comic book nerd that is!! In class a couple of times, Tyler talked Kelly into playing Marvel Scene It with him - and they have been trash talking like pros ever since. Kelly has won once, and Tyler has won once. Now, in exactly one week Tyler is headed to the Dominican Republic on a mission, and he wanted one more chance to try and take down Fullmer.
Here is the scene of the battle. Much trash talking - much dramatic dice rolling - much beating of the chests!
They ended up with quite an audience as well. All the kids had to witness the final brawl. Bran wanted in on the action too - but as you can see he was shut out. Tried to throw the cards and dice one too many times! No worries - he had many friends to entertain him and play with him throughout the night. Vance is the best babysitter around - well, along with Seth, oh yea and Shay - she is just awesome with him - and don't forget Kalin - Bran thinks he's pretty great too. So there was no shortage of hugs and entertainment from Bran's Schwab friends.
Well, this was an epic battle for sure! The game lasted quite a while - Kelly waaaaay ahead for most of it. Then in a last, great, heroic effort, Ty evens it up - and we hear the yelling from upstairs. Kenna and I ran up in time to see the tie breaker. The missionary takes it! Beats Fullmer - who was a little shocked - I have to say. Kelly still thinks he was robbed! But Ty was victorious - and thrilled to no end. I think the blessings of being a missionary have already begun! I'm thinking that Tyler will have a lot of success on his mission if he can just get all of his investigators in this head lock!
The night was really fun though - everyone enjoyed watching them play. We sure do wish Ty the best. He is an awesome guy and will be an awesome missionary! He has lots of little eyes around here that think he is pretty cool - and have watched him for a long time.
Way to go Ty!
