Wii, wii...

I'm really liking our Wii. Especially, bowling, Chicken Shoot (just got it yesterday) and Big Brain Academy. I really recommend purchasing it if you are thinking about it. It's great for large gatherings and also B and I like to play. I'm thinking we'll bring to Gulf Shores when we go next week.

Sick baby, new truck and busy, busy

My little one has another ear infection. He's still incredibly good even with an earache. Other than the fever and yellow stuff coming out of his nose and couching it up, we'd never know he is sick. The doctor said one more infection and he'll send us to an ENT to discuss tubes. I say let's go now...

Well, we had to get another new vehicle... not what I really wanted to do, but... B hit a pot hole the other day and the air bags exploded in our old Honda Accord. It was going to cost around $1500-2000 to repair not to mention determining if any damage was done to the underside of the vehicle. We had 160,000 miles on the vehicle so we just couldn't see spending more money when it may die anyway... So he got a new truck. It's very nice. I think he's excited!

Other than that, we've been super busy... Next week we are going to Gulf Shores. Yeah! A much needed break!

Oh, my... not a good night of sleep

I don't know what's going on with my child, but he hasn't been sleeping all night for about three weeks now. He wakes up once a night and wants a bottle. How do I break this habit? Do you think he's really hungry or just waking up to wake up? He drinks the bottle and then goes back to sleep, so he must be hungry?? The last two nights when he woke up to eat he would fall back to sleep but when I'd lay him in his bed he's start crying. He seems to have a stuffy nose now too. Maybe that's the problem. Who knows??

Tonight's the big night. If I'm still awake at 12:00 I might go get a Harry Potter book. If not, then I'll just go tomorrow. I'm sure most of you will be finished reading before me. It's hard for me to read fast right now because of child...

Oh Wii!!

I have been debating buying a Wii for a few months. I wasn't sure if I'd use and B said he wasn't sure if he'd play it as my as his Playstation so I kept saying no, it's not worth spending the money. Well, Sunday I decided I wanted to get one. It would be fun to play with B. I go to the store to buy one and no one has them. I couldn't believe it. Well, a national chain store that I don't really like had them online, but you had to buy it as a bundle. That was fine because I would have bought most of the things anyway. It's been shipped and hopefully we have it for the weekend. I'm really excited about it! They are coming out with a dance dance game that uses the wireless remote too. Should be interesting.

This is definitely true!!

"FRIENDS" VS. "SOUTHERN" FRIENDS



FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Always bring the food. And lots of it.



FRIENDS: Will say "hello".
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will give you a big hug and a kiss. More than one.



FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Call your parents Mom and Dad, and often.



FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Cry with you. And for you.



FRIENDS: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will spend hours there, talking, laughing, and just being together. Then do the dishes before leaving.



FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you. And most of the time know you better than you do yourself.



FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds' back-ends that left you. Then walk beside you in the front of the crowd.



FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, "I'm home!" If you are not home they will wait.



FRIENDS: Are for a while.
SOUTHREN FRIENDS: Are for life. And then some.



FRIENDS: Might ignore this.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will forward this to all their Southern Friends!

Old friends and new ones...

Friday night we had dinner with Kristy, Alan, Un and her husband. Oh, and I forgot the most important ones, Ander, Jeremy and Zachary. We had a great time just hanging out, talking and eating. Burnell and I have get togethers like that almost every weekend, but this was so special because it was with people I've been friends with for so long. We definitely don't get to see enough of each other.

I love my new friends too but something about seeing old friends really touches my heart!
