Wii at the Wickwires' house!

JUST FYI!!!! WE JUST PURCHASED OUR Wii AT AMAZON.COM AND WILL HAVE IT TOMORROW...GUESS WHAT WE'LL BE DOING ALL DAY LONG SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!

THAT'S RIGHT! WE'LL BE PLAYING Wii - SO IF YOU CALL AND WE DON'T ANSWER, YOU'LL KNOW WHY!!!!! :-)

Wii Party at the Ramseys!

So after our Wii party at the Christoffersens last month...the Ramseys and Stephen and I have been itching to buy a Wii also! The Ramseys broke down and bought one a couple weekends ago and Saturday night Stephen and I went over to play! We played from 7:00 p.m. to 12:30 or 1:00 a.m. We had so much fun!!! David and Keli also have the Wii Ski game and between that and Mario Kart we had plenty of entertainment. We got a couple pics and videos of the night!! Now Stephen and I can't wait to get one...I already have it in my cart in my Amazon account but we're just waiting to push the purchase button for when we figure out what budget it's going to come out of!! :-)

For anyone that has played Mario Karts, you know how frustrating it is when that crazy creature sprays oil all over your screen and you're left to try and maneuver the course without being able to see what's ahead and around you! :-)

Stephen and David driving the course! No ink splatter!!

Me and Keli playing Mario Kart.

Miranda and Keli still playing Mario Kart on-line with people from all around the world!

Stephen and David skiing with Wii Ski! Stephen and I will definitely buy Wii Ski when we have a Wii of our own!

These are David and Stephen's Wii "Mii's" on the left and right sides of the TV screen. Can you tell which Mii is David and which is Stephen? Hint: Look at their heads! (if you click the picture it should go to a larger pic so you can see SW better over there on the right side of the screen.)

Oscar isn't so crazy about Wii as it takes away a little bit of the attention he's used to getting...so after guarding my purse for a while, we caught him playing dead!



VIDEOS!!

Three "Pearsons"

I stumbled across this picture while cleaning out my work e-mail account...It's from Christmas night (2008). This is our nephew, Spencer, and our niece, Abby (Miranda's brother's kids).

We are 3 Pearsons with big brown Sullivan eyes looking back at you!

Waiting for Parker to arrive!

One of our closest friend couples (and cruise cohorts), Brian and Kim Hammond, are expecting their first child, a beautiful baby boy!! His name is Parker! They go to the hospital tonight so Kim can be induced!!! So we hope to have a healthy baby, a new "nephew" by lunch tomorrow! Stephen and I can't wait to meet him!!!

Parker is the recipient of my second baby blanket I ever made...here are pics of it...

There are pictures of my first blanket (made for Virginia Prather) if you go to my "2008" posts, then click "September", then click "Virginia's Baby Present". [or click here: http://stephenandmiranda.blogspot.com/2008/09/virginias-baby-present.html]

More pics of Virginia Prather

Saturday night, regardless of the fact that I was completely loopy from my sinus pressure and sinus medicine, Stephen and I met Stephen and Emily Prather for our monthly dinner date. This month we did Kalamatas (www.eatatkalamatas.com) and then to Maggie Moos (www.maggiemoos.com) for ice cream. Poor Emily was so sweet putting up with my loopy conversations; but we LOVED getting to see them again!! We always look sooooo forward to our monthly dinner dates with the Prathers and especially our time with Virginia!

In this first picture, she is smilling at Emily, but I was standing up over her and when she smiled she tilted her head down so I missed a straight on shot of her beautiful smile but this one is still adorable! The second one is her sitting soooo contently in "my Stephen's" arms, which she always is with him!

We already can't wait to see them again!

Ryan Crozier's Visit

Stephen's friend from Owen/Vandy, came into town a couple weekends ago for a visit so we met him and some other friends for a night out on the town! He brought a sweet couple with him from Arkansas that we got to meet and we liked them immediately! Richie and Wendy! Come to find out, Richie played football with one of our best friends here in Nahsville, David Ramsey. SMALL WORLD!! Wendy and I hit it off great and had fun that night!

We went to Bosco's for dinner, then to Cabana for a while and ended the night at Wild Horse Saloon!

We really enjoyed getting to spend some time with Ryan and can't wait to plan a trip to Arkansas to see his home and little doggie (sorry Ryan, I forget his name)!!

Payton Joy Ghaffari

My friend, and co-worker, Christy, had a beautiful baby girl, Payton, back in December. I got to go by and see her back in January! She is soooo sweet!
