Wii IIIIIssssssssss Bad!!!

Ok, so I know its not funny but it really kinda is. My Pops came out for thanksgiving and since he will be a Bessie's for X-mas, so he got the family a Wii for Christmas. So we had it all but maybe 45 minutes when Mia and Angela decided to bowl. well Mia was playing about 5 minutes and decided to try and do trurling while bowling. Right on her ankle, had to rush her to the hospital she was having an asthma attack, then throwing up it was a mess, When she did it I picked her up and put her on the recliner. It was kinda funny when she fell and welll hell, ok I was laughing my Ass off!!!!! I put her on the recliner and inbetween blood curling scream and dry heaves she yelled, tttthhhhhhhheeeeeeeee the Wii is BBBAAAADDDDD!!!! Me and Will just looked at eachother and busted out laughing. She got really upset so we quickly apoligized and held back our smiles, she was really hurt though. We rushed her to the hospital. Angela and Will were great, they got Hunter put him into the car, got his bag packed, and they were in the car, offering as much help as they could. When I pulled up before I put the car in park Angela already had the back door open and helping Mia out, William had Hunter out of the seat and carrying him in, I ran over to the other side of the car and picked Mia up. Got a wheel chair, I looked down, and relized Will forgot to put shoes on :) It was so funny. So four days later, and she has a nice big cast that will stay there for about two months. So beware of the Wii....bowling that is :)

Philly

So we got up today and headed to Philadelphia and we saw where the constitution of the United States was not only written but signed. We saw the courts, the liberty bell, Ben Franklin's grave and we toured the Building were George Washington and the great fathers of America once walked. I looked and stared at the actual seat that George Washington sat when he heard the countries cries for independence from England. I think every American Citizen should have to take a tour of the area; it gives you a sense of pride. If you watch the people come out of the tour, and their heads are held a little higher. I don't think history is put into the schools enough, my kids walked out with their father and not only did he feel like the last 12 years of his life were for the greater good, but his kids understood just a little bit more of the reasons he joined the United States Navy. My Pop is a Marine, once a marine, always a marine. And I watched him as he gazed upon the Liberty Bell. He took a deep breath, almost as if he was trying to breath in the freedom. He smiled the way only he can - the kind of smile that makes you know there is good in the world. That day I saw a Marine and a Sailor Proud of their Country and it’s an honor to be in their presence. I am a Proud American!

Thanksgiving

ok, so its been awhile since I actually got on so lets see what I can get before I go to bed. Thursday was Thanksgiving, and we have so much to be thankfull for. We have a beautiful house, everyone is healthy, Steve has his new job during a hard economic time and we are still doing good, we haven't yet felt anything from him getting out of the military but I will say that procrastination is not something I am thankful for. I am thankful for our early planning. My Pops flew in, its been a year since I saw him, and Steve's Mom came too. I cooked all day and everything came out perfect!!! The girls helped me cook for almost 4 hours, then they hid in their room and asked Dad if they had to cook...........:) It was fun, and they didn't get too crazy out of hand so all is good. We ate so much, and now we are all fatter!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so thankful for everything we have, most of all I am thankful that Barbra is alive and very healthy and that I not only do I have a Wonderful Father but a wonderful FAMILY here in my home and I couldn't as for more!!!!!!!!!!!

We have seen where george washington sat while in term and we stood where the declaration was signed

We are in philly and i t i s so cool!

Blah....blah.....blah.......

So I'm blah today, went and got our ID's at the base, William got an ID and its his first one so he was really excited. Got the turkey, made Chocolate no bake cookies. So the kids are in bed now and the boys are hanging out downstairs. My Pops is coming on Thursday. Can't wait to see him

William

Tommorow William will start wrestling. Its his first class, he is really excited. And I'm excited for him, we were practicing wrestling moves in the front room. I was showing him and instead of the smart ass comments he has been making lately he smiled and was really intrested. I hope this will help center him. I don't know what has got into him lately, well I mean I know that the move is hard on the kids, all of them are having issues in their own ways you know..... but I think its just cause I am so close with him. I just wish there was some way I could help him, lets hope that this will give him the outlet he needs. And I really think he would be good at it too. He has put Chase in a couple moves and not even relized it. So we will see how he does. :)
