"I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you have lived at all"    Leo Rosten

    A Wiitackular Easter Weekend

    Puns on the wii are soo much fun. So this post is a wii bit late (I crack myself up)

    So two weekends ago was Easter. I headed down to Portland to my Auntie Sherrie's place. Joining us was my grandparents and also Dyrk and Kathy.

    It was just a nice weekend with family, I haven't seen G&G for...I guess it would have been Mechanical Engineering grad...(was it really that long...hmmm)

    We had a nice big Easter dinner on Sunday, my first home cooked meal since....last time I was in Portland. And we did the whole Easter egg painting on Saturday. Stephy and I got in a 'color on each other with crayons' fight.

    I also brought my wii down, figuring I would simply show them the cool stuff you could do with it. Had no idea the hit it would be! We logged over 13hrs of wii playing time over the weekend. And not just us kiddies, literally everyone played it and equally playing time. Stephy was the tennis queen, Samantha was the boxer, Grandpa is one of the best wii bowlers i've ever seen, Joe had the great chip in in golf, Sherrie had a lot of granny bowling moments, even Grandma and Grandpa went head to head riding cows. It definitely was the hit of the weekend.

    I added some Easter pictures to the photo gallery

    Some random notes:

    • I have definitely inherited the sauce gene from my Dad. I love sauces. Yesterday I was at Fred Meyer (grocery store) and they had some marinades, regularly $3 each...they had 10 for $10!!! And wouldn't you know it they had 10 different kinds!! So now i have 10 different kind of marinades :-D

    • Another personal accomplishment note. I went to Costco and DIDN'T spend $100! Really! I bought lunch stuff like muffins and granola bars and yogurt. Still came out to $83 but I was proud of myself.
    • This weekend if my first Cowboy Action Shoot. My new Cowboy name is Kavalier Kody! So I'll have some pics to share of how that went. And more information on what Cowboy Action shooting is.
    Cheers,

    Logan
