Family Game Night
Easter Monday brought the first family game night in a long time...years really.
Wii Sports turned out to be a lot of fun. Bob, Lorie, Grandma, Papa, Dad, Mom, Sue, Christine, Jacqui and Myself all had lots of fun playing bowling, golf, boxing, tennis and baseball.
Here is Bob playing Bowling. I think he got a strike.
And we got Grandma bowling. Easy enough for her to play too. Strike!
Well Family game night was fun and Bob says he have to bring it over something and play on his big 60 inch tv.

Busy Days
It has been a busy week. Something has been going on every day. Lets see how it looks when it is all written out.
Monday April 2nd
Jacqui was sick at home in bed and I took care of her. We got our Wii set up and discovered that the living room needed to be moved around. So that is what I did. A picture to follow on how the room changed.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday went by in a blur of work and cleaning the house and playing the Wii. We rented some games and played those for a bit. Lots of fun but I wouldn't buy SSX Blur or Super Monkey Ball after playing them.
Good Friday had Zack and Lindsay over for a visit where we got to catch up and play on the Wii. ( have you noticed a theme this week?)
Saturday we took a Easter basket to Saint Peter and Pauls Chruch to get the food blessed for Easter Breakfast. It wasn't as enjoyable as last year as it was only 10 minutes long and there was no good singing like before. I'll have to wait another year before I can try to sing that.
Saturday Night saw a phone call from Mark. We were quite surprised. Zack, Lindsay, Mark and Myself went out Bowling (Jacqui Watched) and we had a good time just doing a little catching up. Mark has himself a girlfriend of a week (let's hope it works out)
Easter Sunday was a morning of blessed Breakfast with Jacqui's dad and sister and then we played the Wii for a while. I think we got about 5 hours in on that system though the day. Easter Super was nice and relaxing and by 8 PM We were very tired.
So that was this Past week between Passion Sunday and Easter Sunday. Hey I actually remembered something form church. Amazing!

We have a Wii
We stood in line at Toys R Us at 8 Am on Saturday Morning. The flyer on Friday said that they would have 20 Nintendo Wii's in and we really wanted one...so we were standing there. In front of us was a strange teenager, not really sure what is up with him but he was strange. Behind us was a youngish mom with a 5 year old boy who wanted a Wii. he was bored and the mom said that she should have brought his Nintendo DS but he said he lost it. She asked if he looked near his Gamecube. Jacqui couldn't believe that a 5 year old needed a Wii since he had a DS and a Gamecube. Spoiled Kid!
Well when the store opened at 9:30, we got into the store but we had to re-line ourselves up again to get into the electronic area of the store. I think they should have a ticket system so they don't have that kind of mad rush. A worker said that we were number 12 so the people behind us were happy, until he miscounted. We got the Last Wii system..Jacqui is happy that he bratty 5 year old didn't get one.
It is kinda cool what they do there. They put it in a bag then they heat seal it so you can't put anything else in there. I missed that as I had to work at 10 and I left Jacqui to finish up at Toys R Us.
Well I got off work at 6 and we ordered Chinese Food and came home...Time to set up the Wii and give it a shot.
All I can say is that it is better then I would have expected. Very cool features including the Internet with Opera web browser, Mii's to create and other channels like the Weather and News for your City. We're still playing with the games we have ( Wii Sports and Wii Play) so we'll improve with time. (I still suck at tennis but my bowling game is getting better)
Here is Jacqui playing Golf ( Mind the living room as we pushed stuff around for an area to play)

A New Blog...For Two
Hi, it's James.
Well I was doing some thinking the other day and thought that it has been getting hard to find things to post about on my blog. The problem is Jacqui and I do a lot of things together as a couple but as soon as one of us posts it on our own blog then the other person doesn't really need to post it again. Why waste the time right? So I was thinking that we needed a blog for the two of us.
A blog for the 2 of us hmm? Well it seems like a good idea. I know that I'm not going to write on my own blog anymore but together we'll post what is going on in our lives here. I can't speak for Jacqui as her blog is so cool she might not want to leave it. (Jacqui is cool, it says so on her blog so it MUST be true!)
So expect posts from the two of us on here. Now instead of checking two blogs and seeing that we're not updating it, you only have to check one...what a deal!
