Easter Weekend 09

LSU was playing AL in Tuscaloosa so some of our family decided to all meet in Tuscaloosa for Easter weekend and go to the games (Friday, Saturday, & Sunday). We had some from LA, some from GA and us, from TN. We had a BLAST!!!

The whole Easter Gang!

Mrs. Nell brought "Gummy Rabbit Teeth" for everyone...

Wii party with the Hammonds!

Saturday night Brian and Kim had baby sitters (grandparents) for Parker so they came over for an "Adult Night Out"...and of couse what "adult" thing did we do???? Well, we played video games! :-)

Kim had never played Wii before so we let her try out a couple games...whew - should have seen me and her playing tennis...it was so totally NOT pretty! But it was funny!

Another funny moment was watching her get stuck on Mario Kart trying to make a U-turn to get back in the race!! Luckily, I caught it on video! Kim's in the top half of the screen and Brian is controlling the car in the bottom! Brian finished 3rd in this particular race!! Great job Brian!

The video is just shy of 3 minutes...but if you can watch at least the first minute and a half you'll get the picture of how much fun we had watching the Hammonds play! I'm sure with our Wii and the Ramseys and the Christoffersens Wiis they'll get plenty of practice!!

We had a great time Saturday night with the Hammonds!

New Wii Game...Mario Kart

We recently cashed in some credit card points for a gift card to Best Buy so we could purchase Mario Karts!

Best Buy rarely has it in stock so Stephen's been checking their website everyday and yesterday they got some in so he called immediately and reserved it and went by last night and picked it up!

So we finally have that...I foresee us and the Ramseys racing each other via online on those nights when we can't all meet at one couple's house!! Gotta love that ability to play friends through the internet!!

So we now have plenty of games to choose from...the sports pkg that includes boxing, tennis, bowling, golf and baseball; then we have We Ski, Mario Galaxy and Mario Kart...good to go for now...plenty to keep us busy!

A friend sent me an e-mail and I just got a chance to review it and I think it would be a great website to share; especially for my local friends that may be interested in taking a class...I think all the classes are taught at Fellowship Bible Church, in Brentwood, TN. But she has recipes and freebies that family and friends elsewhere may be able to benefit from as well!

I am going to try to start following this...I've already printed out a coupon for a free Arby's sandwich (just have to purchase a drink - not bad at all).

Please feel free to share with others who might enjoy some help stretching their dollar...my friend said that the lady that runs this program feeds her family of 4 for $160/month!! WOW!! Stephen and I can't do that with just the two of us!!!

Miranda's New Cell Phone!!!

I LOVE new things!!!

Tuesday, I got my new cell phone (It was time for an upgrade and renewal of my contract)!!

LG ENV2

The more I use it the more I like it...I wasn't too sure of the color and the look of the phone at first but I'm really starting to like how it looks very much! Still getting used to some things that are different from the last phone but that should not last more than a month or so...things like the flip part opening on the opposite side of my old phone and the space bar on my QWERTY keypad being in a different location (along with a couple other characters) which slows down my texting right now...but I know that hurdle will only get crossed with more use! Anyway, I just wanted to share pics of my pretty phone!

Carter David Wickwire

Here is a picture Marie sent today...I will probably just add any additional photos I get to this one post instead of creating a new post evertime I get a new picture!
