Wii Are Family

Ah yes, the Nintendo Wii. Something I have wanted for two years, something I have bugged Ty about consistently over that time frame (he seems to have no recollection), and something I thought would be fun for our entire family to enjoy together on weekends when everyone is home. The kids had decided during Christmas when they received money from Grandma Wadel and Great-Grandma Jean (this is a big shout out to Barb and Jean) that they wanted to add that in to help us get a Wii. After all it was for the entire family and they wanted to help. I wasn't going to argue with that considering the cost of everything.

After a much romantic Valentine's Day, we decided to venture out today and go shopping for the Wii, all its accessories and games that we wanted and just have some fun, come home and surprise the kids and that's just what we did. I was so excited leaving Game Stop that I was busting out with random dance moves in the middle of the mall and the parking lot. Why do people look at me weird when I do that? Do people not express joy when they feel it?
Meet the Wii Hepfer Family. From your left to your right is Ty, me, Drey, Sage, Zoe, and Rylee.

After Ty got most of it set up, the boys decided they would play each other a game of baseball. This is Drey throwing the ball when he was the pitcher.

Sage's look of astonishment because Drey got him out, and after all Sage is "the" baseball player in the family. You can only imagine what kind of Mopey George fit he flew into when Drey won the game. Oy.

Once the boys were done and we filled them up with pizza and ice cream and brownies, the girls got to play the Petz Sports game. Ty had to help the girls get the hang of adopting and caring for their puppies and racing them.

Zoe caught on pretty quickly and had a blast.
This would be her Siberian Husky named "Bo". Notice Bo is wearing a crown. I wasn't surprised.

And poor little Rylee waited ever so patiently for her turn.

She was able to get the hang of it too with Daddy's arms guiding her just a bit.

This is her Rottweiler puppy who is cleverly named "Puppy".
After we put the kids to bed, Ty and I decided to break out the Outdoor Challenge and have some fun ourselves. It's not too often I see Ty jumping in the air, let alone get a picture of him in midair. I still can't get him off of it as I sit here blogging. After 45 minutes of running, jumping, kayaking, skateboarding, etc., he is still playing tennis and bowling.

I saved this glorious picture of me last because I knew my hotness would be just too much for you to handle.

So, you can imagine where wii will be on wiikends in the future. I'm pretty sure wii will be entertaining ourselves a lot with this new system and hopefully for a long time to come. After all, wii are family.
