Wiiiiii!

After reading cousin Katie's blog about how EVERY post must include pictures, even if they are not related to the subject at hand, I decided she was right, and wondered if maybe readers are BORED with my pictureless posts! So I have prepared several pictures for this post and despite the formatting that I CANNOT figure out, I hope it makes it more enjoyable.


Speaking of enjoyable... here is the mountainous laundry I spoke of in the last post that we had to take care of.


Well... big news! We got a Wii! Zach and I have been wanting a Wii for months now and decided it took a backburner to, I don't know, food. But thanks to our good friend Katherine we found out that RCWilley sells Wiis, AND you can actually finance your purchases if you qualify. So thanks to Zach we qualified, bought a Wii, and now I can actually build a little credit. It's a win/win situation! We also purchased 4 controllers, 3 nunchucks (an odd number on accident... we didn't realize one was already coming with it) and WiiPlay and MarioParty 8. We looked for MarioKart at RCWilley and Walmart and both were out, so we'll keep looking. We have already had tons of fun with it and we are excited to get some more games. Recommendations are welcome.


First thing, we had to invite Matt and Katherine over to share in our Wii glee.

Additionally, our TV has been on the floor since we've lived here, and since the Wii sensor on top of the TV needs to be a little more elevated we got this little entertainment center, thanks to brother-in-law Tom. It was still in the box so Zach had to put it together. I am pretty sure he felt manly afterward... he loves fixing things with his hands.

This is the entertainment center that Zach built. And yes, Jon & Kate Plus 8 is on. Love.

This weekend we headed up to see cousin Katie and Corey's new house in Herriman for the Superbowl. Their new house is gorgeous, and only made us more excited (envious) to get our own. (We have big plans for after this summer!) We had great food, great fun, and even played Guitar Hero during halftime. Oh, and we had to stick around to watch The Office afterwards.


Mmmm... food.



Mmmm... Max.






How 'bout a smile?! Or am I cheesin' enough for the both of us?





Awww. The cuddly Christensens





I made Zach get a picture of me winning.





We think he's happy!

Mark and I just had our friends show us (before mark left) how to look for the wii id numbers, so maybe I should get yours and we can play!! we don't have any fun games, though. I have the wii fit - but since feeling so yucky I have been a-slackin. I want mario kart!! with the shaking steering wheel - I haven't played it yet, but I heard about it!! FUN.
