Our Rock Band

So this game goes so far as to let you design your own charchter, and dress it up. So Lindsey, Jason, Todd and I created out band. We're called "Out of Thin Air" and I think we're pretty awesome. It really helps to be musically inclined in this game.

Anyways, heres a picture of the people we created in the game.

Lindsey's the tiger, Jason is Mister Cool, Todd's the skeleton, and I'm the one all the way to the right (Normal). We had a lot of fun dressing up our people, as you can see.

Anyways, that's it for now.

Great Birthday

So yesterday was my Birthday. Jason and I were going to go see Phantom of the Opera in San Francisco. Well, we didn't go. Bad timing along with various aliments kept us from the show, but we had a good birthday anyways. Our family got an X-box for Christmas, and for our birthday Jason bought the "Rock Band" game set. It's a four player game, where one person is on a guitar, one's on a Bass, one plays drums, and one sings. You just need to match up the right colored button as the song goes on, and the singer needs to match pitch, and words. It's so much fun. Anyways, since we weren't going to the city we played rock Band for a while. I like singing, and playing the Bass. Lindsey likes the drums and Singing, and of course, Jason likes it all (he's good at it all too!). After playing for a while, My wonderful Brother-in-law (Todd) and my Mother-in-law watched the kids, while Jason and I went out to Mexican food. (which is my favorite). Todd made the kids quesedillas with my new quesedilla maker (Thanks Mom. BEST PRESENT EVER!) When we got back from dinner, we played a little more x-box, and then came home to sleep. It was a really great Birthday. Thanks to all of you who called, and even if you didn't, I know you thought of me!
Now lets start on those resolutions!
Happy New Year ALL!

Skating

In case you haven't read Lindsey's Blog. She and some of her friends went Roller Skating with there teacher, Mr. Whitman. They had a lot of fun, and the skating rink is so close. I can't wait to go back and skate for myself.

Here's a video of Lindsey Skating.

I went out tonight to do Kareoke, and I sang Santa Baby. Everyone really liked it.

That's it for now. it's late, and I gotta get the kids in bed.

New Design

So my sister-in-law is like super woman or somthing. She's going to school (taking more classes then me no doubt), Has three boys to take care of, keeps her house in shipshape, has time to change her blog design, AND she's about to have a baby girl!

Anways, trying to follow her wonderful example, I decided to spruce up my blog for the holidays. Tell me what you think. Most of the stuff is from Cutest Blog on the Block, but I hope to eventually make my own stuff.

And just because my mom couldn't do it, here are some pictures ;-)

Here is Lindsey before my concert. (She's so proud of her mom!)

And here is Westley playing with Uncle Greg (one of Jason's cousins)

Story of the Belated Brithday

I'm taking an English class at the local JC. We are doing a research paper, and we were supposed to have our first rough draft at class last night. I spent all week working hard on that paper, finding books on the subject, and putting it all together. I was pretty proud of my paper, ready to have it critiqued by the other students. I went to class last night, and as always there was a warm-up question to write about. It happened to believe about the Declaration of Independence. I put my name on my paper, and asked the person sitting next to me if they knew the date. "It's December 4th". OMG it's my brother's Birthday, and I totally didn't find out if I could call him or anything. I'm such a horrible sister. I thought maybe Jared would understand, seeing as his wife is also taking classes, so he would kinda know how it is when you're focusing on a paper. I refocused on class, even mentioning "my brother in Iraq" in my writing, when talking about "the people have the right to ...abolish [the government]"
After the warm up writing, the professor gave us our next essay assignment, and sent us on our way. No peer review. GAH! how am I going to know if my paper is any good? So not only am I a horrible sister for forgetting my [older] brothers birthday, but now I have to stress out even more about my paper, because I have no feed back. In the words of one Charlie Brown "GOOD GRIEF!"

So Anyways, I hope you read this Jared, because I do wish you a happy (belated) birthday. We love and miss you, and know you are doing good over there, and you are protected.
And maybe you'll forgive me one day for being a horrible sister.
