After the first week of first grade,


Micah was really anxious


for some weekend screen time....


Happy Wiikend!

U Draw, Wii Draw

Gabi is loving the Wii drawing game she got for her birthday.

Wii

Side note: Micah got a haircut. He doesn't appreciate how I like to rub my hand across the fresh buzz cut.


Gabi got a last minute invite to sleepover w/ her cousin, and Micah could only be consoled at being left behind by a Wii date with Dad.


I expect them to be in these positions for a couple of hours. :) they look very serious, but are having a blast helping Lego Indiana jones through the temple of doom. Or something.

Park Weather

Thanks to a lovely warm & sunny day, we added the park to our to-do list.

Happy Valentines Day

Weekend Away

Last weekend Blake went to a conference in Florida, the kids visited Gramzy & PaPa Jack, and I had the house to myself. So, we all had a weekend off. Gramzy sent some pics of their adventures:

Micah found someone to Wii with him.

The kids each got a one-eared bear (long story there)- I thought Micah's reaction to the missing ears here was funny.

And Gabi went fishing.

Wii Sing

I got a second microphone for my birthday so Gabi and I can do duets on the High School Musical karaoke Wii game. We're going to bop to the top because it's the start of something new and you've gotta get your head in the game. Fabulous!

Wii Had a Merry Christmas

Now let me tell you what- we had a great Christmas. There were candies, a boat for Barbies, Transformers, Legos, glitter chapstick, costumes, books, DVDs, Webkinz, clothes.... all sorts of awesome things. But if you would have walked into our house at pretty much any time today, this what you would have seen: people in pajamas playing Wii. Wii got Wii Fit, High School Musical sing-along (which I totally rock), Lego Batman, Lego Indiana Jones, Mario Kart, Mater's Race, Wall-E Wii and a Wii Skiing game, plus all kinds of Wii accessories. Wii really are having a Merry Christmas!

Christmas Eve Gift!

MiMi, Poppy, and Aunt Pet came to visit us on Christmas Eve, and came carrying a Santa-worthy load of goodies to go around. We had an Italian feast of lasagna (hooray for Stouffers) and some of MiMi's delish chocolate pie. Among the highlights were a new camera that I'm learning how to use, lots of wii games (more on that to come) , legos, another Indian girl dress, a piano keyboard for Gabi, a pile of Webkinz, and a Star Wars ship that I am not male enough to identify.




After some great family time together, we went to church together. Our family always does the lighting of the Christ candle on Christmas Eve (the perk of being the pastor's family)-- a special added bonus came this year with Gabi being old enough to read part of the meditation. She read it loud and clear.

Wii've Been Playing

We like Wii! Gabi and Blake enjoy boxing with each other a lot:

Blake gloats a little when he wins.

But hardly anybody beats Gabi at bowling!
She got a turkey (3 strikes in a row!!) and scored 196 on her last game.

Oui, We Wii

We just bought a Wii. Just thought you'd like to know that.
