Wii are family!

Well, its finally happened. Thanks to big cousin Collin, Carter has discovered the magic of video games.

No, we haven't deprived him from electronics for the first 5 years of his life, but we stuck with strictly educational, pre-school aged systems. Jason's niece Jocelyn, and her sons Collin & Delsin spent a few days with Grandma Jackie & Grandpa Jim this week. Collin brought his Nintendo Wii & his Playstation Portable (or PSP) with him this week. The graphics are awesome, they are easy to use and the games have fun filled activities like "crashing cops" and burping contests! Whats not to love!?!


Carter (and even Hunter) took to it like pros. Collin waited on the boys to get out of school all day and as soon as my boys walked in the door, they headed straight for the games. We couldn't even get them to eat dinner. Carter completely ignored me when I told him we had to go. I can see now what I have to look forward to!

Carter had recently saved up for his first real purchase, a Lionel Train Crossing Bank. After playing the games, we headed home in the car. Carter informed me he was going to keep saving his money, he wants to buy a Wii! The boys had so much fun with the games, I have to admit, I think I'll add to his funds.

Ahhh, the Wii. I must admit. That is a win- win. Establish ground rules though-before you ever get it. Like laundry must be done, plates clean from dinner...etc. etc... that is what I have had to do with my HUSBAND!!!!!

I have to say WE LOVE THE WII!!!

The boxing made me sore for DAYS.

You can do online gaming- so maybe we will see you online???

When you do get it try out www.gamefly.com

I do agree in keeping it from a kid for a while though- let them be as normal as they can. Playing outside, etc. You have done a great job with them so far, and they are normal!!! ;)

Easter 2009

The Easter Bunny was good to the boys this year...even though we dyed the eggs at 8PM the night before. All the "egg hunts" were with plastic eggs this year, which the kids prefer, due to the candy/prizes inside. We went to our new church on Easter morning and the kids made it through the "grown-up" service, so it has been a great day so far. Now, on to lunch at Grandma Jackie's house for Easter dinner!

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...

Our special visitor....

Do I have a story to tell you! Last night Hunter ask if he could go out to the van and look for his Nintendo DS. I let him go and then made sure he locked the door as he came in. This morning, as I stepped outside to take some things to the car before we left for school/work, I noticed the sliding door on the van was wide open. I started griping to the boys "Good grief, now the battery is going to be dead....AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" They came running out the door to find an "American Bulldog" curled up in Carter's seat. After I got my wits about me, I sent them back in and tried to talk the dog out of the car. Then I tried to entice him out with a hot dog. He just stared at me. Then I got a stick, opened up all the doors and yelled at him to try to scare him out. He just ran behind the seat and hid in the back. When I got really agressive he started quivering his lip like he was going to growl at me. He was scared of me and I of him. All the while, I was documenting th...
