This summer Garet started really asking for a WII. I said NO, NO and HECK NO! You are crazy! We are NOT spending that kind of money on a game system! My kids do not have everything new that comes out! It takes us awhile to catch up with the electronic world, but we are OK with that! Garet's first Nintendo was bought from a friend! He was 5 or 6 and it was fine for him! He didn't know any better! Two years ago, we bought a Gamecube. This was the worst buy for us because they really don't make new games for Gamecubes anymore! Bad buy for us! Well, this summer Garet saved all of his money and earned enough for a WII. He saved all of his birthday money. He gets up with Auburn on Saturday mornings and mows the yard. He vacumed a lot for Mimi and really is a great helper! So, I let him spend ALL of his money! Every last bit! The money was burning a whole in his pocket! So, we headed to the big city!
First stop....Super WalMart!!!! He was so excited!!! We left with NO WII!!!
We traveled to big city Toys R Us...nada!
We traveled to big city Target....absolutely nothing!
FINALLY.... we get our WII. Right here in our little WalMart in our little town. No folks, we don't have a Super WalMart. We still have the old school WalMart. When I'm looking for something specific, they NEVER have it! When I go to the big city looking for it, it's right under our nose! Go figure! We are just happy we have it! Can you tell?
Does she look like me?
Woo~Hoo!!! Friday night bowling at the Rose Alley! Now all we need are some disco lights!
OK peeps....I know I look like an idiot, but everytime I put my HOP into it ~ STRIKE!!!
Look out! Daddy has got the moves!

How fun! Looks like the Rose family is enjoying their new Wii! I soooo want to come play, I haven't gotten to play on a Wii before!
How fun! Your pictures are hilarious! It's no wonder your children are so fun and animated -- you and Auburn are their parents!!!
I just found out yesterday what a "MII" is -- it looks great!
I played bowling once at my sister's. It was super fun. I can totally see how these kids (and adults) get hooked to these things!
Cute pictures! I love bowling on the Wii- I do much better than real life :)
HOW FUN IS THAT!!! It just goes to show you...sometimes "old school" (as in your Walmart) is the only way to go! oh...and your MII looks great...LOVE it!
Love, Robin
Casey spent his money on a Wii too! We love it! He got Carnival and an Avitar game for his birthday, but my favorite is still bowling! His favorite is Carnival, and Caleb's favorite is boxing. Mike doesn't get a chance to play very much, but we all love it. We need to have a Wii party--did you know you can load your Mii into your remote, and take it with you to play on someone else's Wii?
I guess I am definitely behind the times. Looks like so much fun!!!! Maybe we could do a girls bowl night and pay garet for the use of it. Love ya
I am still laughing over Tyler chasing you with the turtle.
yup...you'll be addicted! WE are.....Hillarious pics.....sprry for the mix up, my "special carrier" didnt work out like I thought..So i'll mail out your gift monday!!!! SORRY
ko
You will have to add the wii fit, that is lots of fun too. I hope no one can see in our window when we are hula hooping!!
WE even want a Wii! and now they have a fitness Wii - and we don't even have any kids up here... but IF they come visit it'd be good to have. oh..Saaaanta?? I love your virtual self..very stylin'! When CG comes we can all have a bowlin' night..(i think i'd be better at tennis though)
