Most of the male side of our family balks at the mere thought of having a portrait taken. I'm going to have to photoshop the pictures together so I actually get one good one with everyone looking at the camera, no eyes closed, and nice smiles. That's the way it goes, I guess. :-)

Family Portraits!!
We had family portraits taken this past weekend. I seem to have a hard time getting actual copies sent out so here are some of the photos!

Wii did it!!!
After searching and searching and searching with no luck for many, many months, I finally found one!!!! I was too lazy to go on Ebay and didn't want to pay for shipping, etc, either. I was in Wal-Mart looking for something totally different when the lower shelf caught my eye. They had them in!!!!!!!!! A quick phone call to Brian to okay the expenditure and it was mine! I hid it under the seat of the van to escape prying eyes and sped home as quickly as possible. Alas, the children were already home. I had to wait one more night. Oh, the torture!!!!!
Next morning, as soon as the boys were off to school, I retrieved the beloved box from the car and whisked it downstairs. I read the quick set up instructions and was up and running in less than 10 minutes (and it only took that long because I had to figure out where to put the wires into the big tuner thing we have. It can be confusing!).
Ahhhhhh, pure joy as I bowled a few games, lost horribly in tennis, had a few good eagles in golf and sent the ball soaring in baseball. I counted it as my workout for today. :-)
Skip ahead to the afternoon. The boys came home. I was working in my room when one of them spied the controllers on my bed. "Why do you have Wii controllers?" he asked. No reply. "Do we have a Wii?!!!". No reply. Then another child comes in. They both bolted down the stairs to discover to their utter amazement that Mom has entered the 21st century and has indeed bought a Wii.
Now the next question is- what game shall we get next?????
