Then the fight started...con't.

Here are a few more little liners about how fast fights start between husband and wife...I will have to say my husband should and most of the time "does" know better than some of these husbands..


I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first. "I'll have the strip steak, medium rare, please." He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?"" Nah, she can order for herself." And then the fight started...


A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror.She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's near perfect.' And then the fight started.....


My wife asked me if a certain dress made her butt look big. I told her not as much as the dress she wore yesterday and then the fight started.....

Wii for Everyone

On Sunday night we hosted Brent's parents Derald and Debbie over for supper and a night of partying!...not really they stopped by after chores and stayed for my sorry supper of egg casserole..I don't cook on Sundays, especially Sunday night! The kids have been dying to show them how everything works w/the wii. So they did wii fit-snow skiing, ski jumping, head soccer game-which I am TERRIBLE at, and a rousing 10 frames of bowling..

Garrett and Maddie bowling. Maddison really gets into it. I swear she is going to tear her rotator cuff or pull her shoulder of out socket. Watch out in baseball and tennis!

Debbie bowling..

Brent skiing- Owen cheesingDerald ski jumping..0 meters..he was a snowball 2 times in a row. Granted arthritis and first time on board doesn't really help you any.. Can't extend legs to jump...but he still thought it was fun.

Then the Fight Started

I know the title of this sounds like it could be a real doozy (sp?), but its not about Brent and I. My sister in law sent me this quick email about how easily fights between a husband and wife can start and over stupid things. I thought they were pretty funny. There was a list of them, so every now and then I will post them. Sorry if you have seen these before. I will say that Brent and I have had some of these arguments. I will leave you to decide which ones.

1. My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' And then the fight started..

2. My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.' I bought her a scale. And then the fight started...

3. When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive... so, I took her to a gas station. And then the fight started...


Until next time...

Wii Fit

Owen loves to do the step aerobics with us. But he is usually in the way. He wants to use the board as well and I can't tell you how many times he has been stepped on or knocked over because he is trying to get to the board. So I let him use the board this morning all by himself. He gave 6 demos but this is the best one.

Cool Dude!

For Christmas this year Maddison earned "money" at school for different things. Good grades, quietly working, etc. On the Monday before the Christmas Break parents and staff donated gently used items. Candles, happy meal toys, home decor. It honestly looked like a pretty nice garage sale! She bought things for everyone in the family. Owen got sunglasses.. I tried to get him to smile w/them on, but he was about ready to fall over from being tired. I am hoping to get some more shots of him soon. He wore them for a long time during present time! Pretty cute huh.

Challenge Gift

The last couple of years my mom has done a "challenge" gift for the kids. She wraps a small gift up. But not just with wrapping paper. I think last year she used rubber bands..hundreds around a box. This year both kids had gifts wrapped in yarn and duct tape. It took them a good 10 minutes to open and another ten minutes to wind up all the yarn again. Maddison got a bottle of Bath and Body -body spray and Garrett got adult sauve shampoo-why? Garrett is "too old for kid shampoo and plus this shampoo just makes his hair feel sooo much softer and smoother". Think he watches too many commercials?

Christmas Eve before the Longford Church Program!

Our family present from Santa this year was a Wii, so this is Garrett and Maddie showing their remotes off. We got the Wii Fit too and really enjoying that. We are now officially owners of an electronic game. Other than our computer we have no playstations, no xboxs, no psp's, no nitendo's or nintend ds's. There might be more out there, but we have no idea. Kids were pretty excited! As well as this mom!
