Wii REPORT

We have our Wii set up. The "Wii fit" is pretty cool. It weighs you and tests your balance & strength then keeps track of your exercise, lets you set goals, etc. My favorites so far are slalom skiing, ski jump, and hula hoop. You should see your mom do hula hoop. 'nuf said. It even takes your Mii character and expands/contracts the body depending on your height/weight ratio. We've also played some Mario Olympics. Heck, I get more of a workout doing that then on Wii fit! I always run out of air swimming! I'm a pretty good javalin thrower though. It's set in Beijing 2008 with the Birds Nest arena etc. Pretty cool. Wii is the first video game console I've rally liked a lot.

Sounds cool. Fun exercise is the best kind. It'll be fun to see the next time we get there. Benjamin will love the Olympics since he was so into the real deal.

Yes, this is the first time I have liked doing a video game/exercise. And while it isn't what I would call consistant heavy duty workout (yet), you are burning more calories than if you are sitting being a couch potatoe in the evenings.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
