Wii, Playstation 3, Game Cube, DS.......

We have way too many video game systems at our house. We have a PS3 which is mostly Patrick's for his games, but we also use it for Rockband and the car racing games I like. The boys have a gamecube, Tyler saved up his money and bought himself a Nintendo DS, and then we got a Wii for Christmas. You would think with all those systems we would never be able to play them all, but somehow we manage to find enough time to use them. I have really been wanting to get the Wii Fit, but Patrick didn't think we would use it or like it. That was until he saw someone hula hooping and snow boarding on it and he thought it looked pretty cool. So yesterday we went and bought one. We were in luck that the game store just got a shipment in that morning and we were able to get one. I guess they're sold out within minutes. Needless to say he has been playing on it since we got it. Hopefully I'll get to try it sometime soon. He does have to go to work eventually!

Rockband

Rockband is one of the favorite video games at our house. We got it for PS3 when it first came out and still love playing it. We love getting togethr with our friends and having Rockband parties and jamming out!! Tyler and Riley love playing the drums, and they are both pretty good. Especially Tyler, he is better at the drums than I am. Who know we might have a future drummer in the house! Here's a video of Tyler playing.

School Started

It's that time of year again when the kids go back to school! Yeah for the parents, but I'm not sure how excited the kids are. This year Tyler is in 1st Grade and Riley is in preschool. Tyler goes all day ofcourse and Riley goes 3 days a week. Patrick and I can't believe we will have 3 days a week all to ourselves. What will we do??? The boys were very excited and anxious for school to start. Tyler couldn't wait to see all his friends, and Riley was excited to be at Grandma's school and be with his cousin Tuff who was going there too. We were excited for them and also for ourselves!

Taking the Rhinos to the Cinders

This past week we went on a Riedlinger family vacation to Flagstaff. We all took our Rhinos and trailers and camped out for a few days. Tyler has outgrown his quad and we haven't got him a new one yet, so his cousins were nice enough to share theirs with him. We even let Riley get on one and ride it around, and he didn't want to get off. They have so much fun being with their cousins. The Arizona Cardinals were up there for football camp so one night we and saw them practicing. It was cool for the kids to see them up close. The last day we were there we even saw 2 great big Elk. We had a lot of fun and can't wait to go again.

Girl's Camp

Being in the YW Presidency I get the priviledge of going to girls camp each year. This year was ward camp so my loving husband went with us this year. We went up to someone's cabin and went swimming, hiking and hung out and had a great time. Patrick brought his computer for one of our devotionals and even used it to teach the girls some line dances!
