There's a First Time for Everything!

Like this entry... Steph's first (shockingly!) on the Mario Party blog! Much like Jesse did the night before in terms of taking it to Todd Moore, Steph let the boys (Jace & Trey & Todd) try to battle it out with her Sunday morning... and she walloped us all! Congrats, Steph. And welcome to the Mario Party Blog!

Look What We Started!

 

What with Jace's latest victory and the photo spoils to go with it, there was nothing that was going to stop us from a Mario Party 10 donnybrook this past weekend in Seattle! Seasoned MP10 vets Jesse & Stephanie showed Todd how it's done and Jesse took the first win of the new legacy! I'm sure it may have been different had Jace & Trey had their go, but the Paulsons waited until they boys went to bed to take it out on the newbie. That said, well done, JesseP!

A New Legacy!

I got the best surprise ever this week -- Mario Party LIVES ON! One Jace John Paulson is the next generation of Mario Party SuperStars!! Here he is celebrating his dominant performance over -- likely -- his parents who just might be a wee bit rusty. Regardless, we have a new Champion and the Legacy is alive! Well done, JaceMan!!

(Not So) Happy New Year!

Well, the good news is that 2010 is now behind us... and it marks the last time EVER we will let the computer beat us at Mario Party!

Yes, it happened last night as we celebrated New Year's Eve with a start at St.Andrews, complete with three rounds of Barnyard, and ended with Mario Party at Salon Moore!

In the spirit of new beginnings and closure to all things past, well done computer. 2011 won't be your year!

Bringin' (Mario) Party Back! YEAH!

The Party's Back! And so too is Todd Moore as SuperStar!

Amy, John, Jesse, Todd and The Captain enjoyed an impromptu Mario Party after Salon Moore closed last night and Todd emerged victorious with a whopping 11 stars (out of 20 on the board)! Granted, he got two bonus stars (awarded to everyone, in truth), but 13 > 10 (Jesse) so Todd won!

Not going to lie, the best part of the entire party was the amazing 'Picture This' finale where Amy raced to a 2-0-0-0 lead, but the boys stormed back to force sudden death at 2-2-2-2. It was frantic and dramatic and loud and Copper was confused and Jesse found the pink car passing the blue car to take the final Mini Game -- as well as the Mini Game Champion title altogether. Well done, JP!

After a Long Break...

We returned to Mario Party action on fine Saturday evening. Not hurt by the break, John whipped up on Jesse and I (and the computer) to take the first championship in some time! Well done, JW!

Vacation Champion!

We enjoyed a rousing 34,000' adventure on our way to Orlando for our DisneyWorld Christmas/New Year extravaganza. In our one and only, winner-take-all, tete-a-tete-a-tete Mario Party, Amy Weaver emerged as the MP Champ! Congrats Amy!
