Wii love bowling!

So, for those of you who hadn't heard, we gave Bryan a Wii system for Father's Day. The kids really like playing the Wii Sports (probably because it's still the only game we have!). We're all fond of the bowling because it's easy and you can score high. The kids, especially Tyler, wanted to try their luck at real bowling, so I took them today. After a few frames I started to here the kids say "this is a lot harder then Wii bowling". But they stuck it out.

Ellie (with the help of some bumpers) was the big winner with a score of 80. She scored the only strike of the game and was also pretty good at making the ball bounce down the lane.


Tyler came in second with the help of bumpers and a ramp to roll the ball down. He scored a 60. He tried bowling without the help of the ramp a few time. The ball went so slow we didn't know if it would make it to the pins.
And then there's my sweet Anna. She didn't have anything to help her. I guess the age limit for the bumpers is 9 and she didn't want to use the ramp. She came in last with a score of 52. She must get it from me because I stink at bowling too!

Over all I think they still had a good time. I hope they don't give up on "real" bowling even though they like "Wii" bowling better!
Oh, and just so Kate doesn't feel left out (and because I know how much my mom likes to see pictures of all the kids) her is a picture of her cheering on her big sisters and brother, since she's not into bowling so much yet.

9th Anniversary

So last week we celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. I will admit that it was pretty lame because Bryan was in TX for work all week. Well, he totally redeemed himself when he sent me this jib jab. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Welcome to our blog

So we've started a blog... Yippie! My sisters will be so happy. Maybe this way we can remember and share some of the funny (and not so funny) things that happen in our home. It might take a little while for us to really get this going, so be patient because it will come.
