Happy Wii!

Saturday night we had Lori, Brian and my dad over for dinner and Wii. Unfortunately Ryan had to work so he was only able to eat with us. I cooked tacos and bought special "stand up" taco shells for the occasion. They were really cool and worked very well to stand up to get stuffed.

Ryan bought me two Wii party games - Tetris Party and Midnight Bowling. Brian ended up beating everyone in a "best 2 out of 3" run on Tetris and continued to kick everyone's butts on Midnight Bowling. We purchased Mini Golf right before everyone showed up and it's really cool but there is a bit of a learning curve.

Evan and Kennedy - if you buy Tetris Party on Wii Ware (it's only 8 or 12 bucks, I forget which), we can hook up with Lori and Brian and have a long distance Wii party! Any takers?

Happy Birthday to me!

Another year older.  I was thinking about this last night as I fell asleep.  Exactly one year ago we had just found out I was pregnant an now we have a beautiful, almost 5 month old baby boy.  Ryan was sweet enough to whisper "Happy Birthday baby" to me after 1:00 a.m. this morning.  Life is good.

Happy Valentine's Day

This is in honor of my friend Jenn (Fincham) Erickson. Happy Valentine's Day. Hope your house is feeling better than mine!

Sick Family

I came home from work early yesterday to finish the day working from home. Ryan was sick and wasn't fully able to take care of Kaden. Like the loving family we are, he ended up passing his bug to me. 3 a.m. rolls around and I'm spending at least an hour in the bathroom throwing up. Did I mention that Kaden seems to be coming down with something too? This is not the type of quality family time that I had in mind.

Kaden Videos!

This took a couple of tries, but I finally got them up! Here are a couple videos that Ryan took of Kaden recently.

I love Jesus, but I drink a little.

I couldn't resist posting this.  One of my friends had this on their Facebook account.

Happy Groundhog Day!

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow today. Today's holiday got me thinking. Who in their right mind decided to pull a rat out of a hole to see if it casts a shadow to determine if winter will continue? When you break it down to simple terms like that, it just sounds weird.
