i am sure that there are many of my blog readers who will agree that guitar hero is fun! tons of fun!

but, what if i told you that there is something way more fun than guitar hero?

“say WHAT?!!”…. you may ask.

yup! you heard me right! TONS more fun than guitar hero!

nintendo wii rockband! get it! you won’t regret it!

rock on!

you get to spend it with one of your best friends!

the kids and i ran some errands today in victoria. when we finished up, we headed over to spend the rest of the afternoon with michelle and the boys.

michelle is one of my oldest and dearest friends. she is one of the first friends that i made when i first moved here from the east coast. and i love her like a sister!

the kids had a great time and it was so nice for us to sit and talk. and let me tell you, when michelle and i talk, we talk about anything and everything from getting facials, getting botox, house building, pokemon cards, upcoming birthday parties, what to have for lunch, and much much more! i also stopped along the way to pick up some “goodies”. i never show up without some “goodies” and today i brought along some chocolate chip cookies! yummm! i think know i ate way more than my share! they were so delicious!

which leads me to state here, publicly on my blog, that i am now officially eating healthier! i put on a few extra pounds while my mom was visiting and now it’s time to shed them! and i want you to hold me accountable. OK? ok!

thanks for a great afternoon mitch! we need to do it more often!

love these kids!

but i think he really needs to work on the facial expressions, don’t you think? this is the look i got when i told him to “hold it right there”. i’m NOT complaining. oh no! he’s letting me take his picture so it’s ALL good. no matter what the facial expression is!

i tried a few different things on this and added some texture. not my usual post processing but i think it’s kinda cool.

have a great weekend!
