Hoppy Gnu Ear!


I am posting so Rachel will stop bugging me! And I suppose it is time to make resolutions and keeping in touch is as good as any resolution. I do enjoy reading others blogs, I guess I just think I am a little more boring than the rest of y'all.


Christmas was lovely, simple, and peaceful. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee got a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii which made my kiddoes very happy. Yes, the first game I bought was "The Price is Right". Save your money folks. I couldn't bear to get any other game because none of them looked educational. Well.................if I'm going to spend Ryan's hard earned money...................


So, the people are creepy looking and acting on the game, so we have nicknamed them creepy, crazy, etc. And no, my kids still haven't let me play plinko yet, the boogers.


This weekend I told the kids, hey, if you put your money together, you can buy a game. Brilliant. They came home with Super Mario Smash Brothers 2, the final battlefield, or something like that. I watched for about 2 seconds and said, "Is this game only about beating each other up?" Harumph. I don't like video games.


And yes, it was me who forked out a few of my own precious dollars to get DDR 2, dance your pants off revolution. It has a workout mode, you know. I have been sick the last few days, very dizzy, but that didn't stop me from trying it out today. Let's just say my cool dancing days are over, and leave it at that. I invariably end up just running around on the mat (and off the mat apparently), trying to stamp all those darn arrows before I am judged A for Atrocious, B for Bodacious, you are not, or C for Come on, get a life.


My kids are quite clever. I want you to check out their present to us, if you haven't already.




I thought it was pretty funny, and impressive for their first foray into movie making.


Well, there you have it. 2:00 am ramblings such as they are. Are ya happy now Rachel?? Love you girl!

Melissa, you are a wonderful writer/blogger, and I'm glad Rachel was on your case to make another post. I was hoping for one, too!

So nice to see a new picture of your family. We miss you guys, and I hope that 2009 is going to be a great one for all of you. Please tell Summer we think of her often in YW.

I agree with video games, but have to admit we have several systems. Tim and the kids are addicts. Glad to see you are all doing well. The kids are getting so big!
