Yet Another Jay and Deb Production.Have you hopped on Jay and Deb's Tuesday Tribute bandwagon yet?It's a day totally devoted to all things non-egocentric. For me, it's a day to give thanks.But some how, I always seem to make it about me.....in a round about way. You see, so many of the things I'm grateful for, I'm thankful for because of they way they benefit/effect me.Like, birthdays.I love celebrating birthdays. Especially my children's birthdays.......even though it means they are getting a year nearer to leaving the nest.January is an especially joyful month for me because 3 of my children celebrate the day of their birth. And so do my sisters.
I'm thankful for our Wii and the hours of fun it has brought our family.
I'm thankful for tennis.....because even though we all pretty much suck, it's a sport we can enjoy as a family.
And, I'm thankful for living near family. Lot's and lots of family.
*NOTE: This week only, I'm not posting my Wordful Wednesday post until 12 am Wednesday morning.

WII made my shoulder hurt :-) You'll get better at tennis though.
Your January sounds like May for us.
Thats the most fantastic Birthday cake Ive ever seen...I may make one for myself tonight just for the heck of it!!
3 birthdays this month? One of them wouldnt be the...28th would it? Selfishly, that day might be special to me... ;-)
Great post, Angie, I always love checking in on you.
Jay
ice cream cone cupcakes I forgot about those, how awesome! He is so dang cute! How fun to be back near family.
I love living near all of my family as well. My in-laws retired and moved away and I just don't get it. My family IS what makes me happy!
Birthdays are so much fun. I love all the photos.
And most of all, I love the fact that Wordful Wednesday is going to be on a Wednesday. Yeah!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you.

Having family nearby is truly a gift...
Happy Birthday to your adorable boy! We are absolutely loving our Wii too! What are your favorite games?

So many reasons to be thankful!! Great post.
Oh, I so love the Wii. We just got one too and I love that the whole family can play it. I am also very jealous of you! We just moved away from tons and tons of family. Yep...all alone that's me!

That child is to-die-for adorable! I love his face in the first photo. Happy birthday Garrett!
Happy Happy Birthday to Sweet little Garrett! He is so grown up now! How fun that you do tennis together as a family! What a great thing! It's great to have family to celebrate special days together! I am very happy for you Angie.
Happy Birthday Garret! I am also thankful for the wii. We have had ours for 2 years and have LOVED it!
Birthdays are sooo much fun :) I have family close and I think God for it daily!
Happy Birthday to the little man! Love the ice cream cone w/candles!
I am thankful for my wii too :)
Birthdays are the best!!!
So handsome, too!
It is great to have family nearby!!
More the merrier.
Gorgeous photos and family. It must be nice to live near family.
We love our Wii too! And, having twins myself, family and fun go together like the Wii and laughter!
Oh I like this idea - I had never thought about being thankful for our wii but you are right - it has provided hours of family togetherness and fun for not only our immediate family but for family and friends who come to visit and we all end up laughing and being exhausted.
I love the pic of your son with the huge birthday candles sticking out of the ice cream cone cake - too cute
I'm really enjoying your blog - I'm going to add you to my favorites
Happy Birthday to your cute little man!! ;) We love our Wii and Santa brought the Wii Fit for christmas the kids LOVE IT!!
;)Rachel
Birthdays are the best because they don't have to be shared with anybody else and we can focus on the one child completely and without guilt. It's so fun!
And, I'm glad you live near family. Is that one of the reasons you moved?
That's funny - I'm thankful for tennis for the same reason - and we all pretty much suck too! At least it's exercise!
agree...and my problem is that hubs is a college tennis divisional champ. see, that's not fair! but i can beat him on Wii...so i'll stick with that!
Wonderful photos! I love tennis and can't wait to teach our 2 yr old to play. He already has a racket. (I suck too but hubs is pretty good, although he's no Roger Federer :) ).
i love living close to family too! makes life even more amazing:)
He is adorable....I am really happy for you that the move has turned out so well.
Awesome things to be thankful for! I have heard soo much about the wiis...we may break down at some point. Love the family shot. cherry
Just bought a Wii for my Christmas for my kids (and me)... we have loved playing it over and over again!Great post as always.
What an awesome birthday picture!!! I recognize him as the easy going, fun loving kid with the incredible smile!!
Oh!!!!! Happy Birthday to your little guy!!!!!!!!! Love the pics!!!!
Birthdays are so much fun.
Great photos.
Happy Birthdays! How nice that you have some fun events to brighten up January for you. :o)

Aaaah! That is a really nice post! Living near family is really great, especially for the little ones!
Sooooooo sweet. I love that you said you all suck at tennis. LOL!!
And really - 12am...that means I have to stay up until like, um, 3am. Not. :-) I'll be partaking, just in my time-zone. Hehe.
Angie, You amaze me. I love to read your blog. It always inspires me. I feel like I see and know whats going on with you, even though I really don't. Its fun to keep up with the family!!!
Doesnt he look happy? I LOVE our Wii and so do my kids! Both my daughter and son seem to be naturals at the sports games Tennis and bowling seem to be there best and favorite games to play. I so love me some Guitar Hero very addictive.
What a handsome, handsome guy!!!! Great cupcake with lots of candles :)

You are so lucky to live near family!! Our family lives 500-3000 miles away :(
Oh, and I soooooo want to try playing a Wii!! But first I think I need to win one :(
*{Happiest Birthdays}* all around!
You have a beautiful family!
xoxo
I tried tennis once....
I'm envious of your sunshine! We're expecting a blizzard tomorrow!!!!!
Happy birthday Garrett. He is such a doll.
Wow January is s busy month in your family. Lots of fun!!
No better way to give a tribute...your family! Happy Birthday to them all!!...busy...
Angie, he is so stinking cute. Just wait until the girls start calling to talk to him! Does he know what a cutie pie he is?
Happy Birthday Garrett!!!
As a tennis coach, I love to see kids start playing the game. Good luck and just think 'sucking' in tennis all relative. Fun is the important thing, in addition, if your kids play at the age it looks like their starting, they'll have really good hand eye coordination anyways.
Just the Lane Public Service Announcement....love your blog and thanks for stopping by mine.
Love those birthdays! Looks like a great party!
Happy Late Birthday!
I love our Wii Fit, cause it is one game we will all compete on and get healthier.
Oh, I love our wii and all the fun our family has had with it as well. We all play tennis too. Carl is on a whole leval higher than Cora and I am about 4 levels below her, so we have fun, but it is not even there either. I love having family near by! I am so glad you are near your family too. I can't not comment so I think I am going to have to do the Delurking thing!
A little off topic, Guys... I have a question. A week ago I played around this site:
[url=http://www.rivalspot.com]Rivalspot.com - Play Ps3 tournaments for cash[/url]
They say you can play online EA sports game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea...
Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?
