MS (we will protect her/his identity) is completely, totally and utterly addicted to Wii Guitar Hero III. I thought my kids were bad. MS has raised the bar with the level of addiction one can attain while playing the Wii. I bet MS has Wii dreams. MS even has asked for a system for her/his birthday! I tried to ask MS a question during a Guitar Hero session and MS completely tuned me out and ignored me! Advice to MS's spouse - if you know what is good for your marriage you should probably stick with your original gift for MS's bday and steer clear of the Wii!
Zach loves loves loves loves Guitar Hero III. He played it for hours. The other boys have not even had a chance because Zach is a guitar hog. Between MS and Zach no one has a fighting chance!
It is official. Gary has a new room. It is bigger and better and I will tell all of you about it after I see it tomorrow. He sounded pretty excited and asked me to come after church to help him get the room organized! I love this new Type A side of Gary. He is so clean and neat!
We had a good visit today both alone and with the boys. We talked to the kids about lots of things like cancer and sickness and pain and we asked the kids questions and really had some great heart to heart conversations. Gary I think was in a little less pain today and a little more coherent. He had his first day of physical therapy and was able to walk a short distance. When I mean short I mean short. To give you an idea of how weak he is it took him roughly 30-40 minutes to get out of bed and walk 40 feet and back. He stopped to rest several times and an 80 year old man even lapped him!
His spirits seem to be holding up fine and they should get even better with this new room! More space, less clutter and it has a couch in it!
The baseball friends came over tonight and Matt picked up Pick Up Stix for the adults and pizza was deivered for the boys and Hailey! We had a great time just sitting and talking and I ended my evening in the hot tub with Matt and Jen and a few junior high giddie and loud girls!
I hope tomorrow is a better day as well. I will once again keep you in the know!
I hope everyone goes to church tomorrow and has a great Super Bowl Sunday!
Love, Lisa

A Look inside our family......
If any of you have not had the chance to walk the grounds of the Montage in Laguna Beach you are really missing something amazing!!!
I am at the Montage with Zach and my Dad and I am standing on the beautiful rock that jets out from the middle of the cove and it is the most amazing morning! The air is so warm and the breeze is gently blowing.
I look down to see the reef and the beautiful colors of the seaweed garden that sway with the tide. In such a small place there are so many amazing things about creation that just make me stop to remember to thank God for all he has entrusted to us!
This very moment makes me feel so blessed to have so many blessings! So many family members and friends who surround us and love us and are ready to go on this new journey with us.
As I am thinking my pride gets a hold of me for a moment and I tell myself that I can do this on my own. My thought is that I don't want to have to have help and put people in this position!
Then, as quickly as that thought fills my pride-filled head another one enters. This time, I begin to realize that there is no way we can do this on our own. First and foremost, our same Father who has created this amazing place that I get to spend so much time at is the same one who has blessed us with amazing family and friends who want to care for us.
There are simply no words to express my gratitude and love to everyone who surrounds us and is a part of our life - big or small!
Please take some time and get down to the Montage. Go with your spouse, a friend, your kids! When you are there take in the beauty that surrounds you and take a deep breath and thank God for everything you have and the fact that HIS spirit lives in all of us! What a privilege it is that we are all on this journey together!
I am not ready to leave my rock because the morning is the best part of my day and this day is looking amazing and I want to stay right here feeling exactly how I do right now! Zach is coming out of the water and he really wants to head down to Strands to walk on beach! Who am I to argue? What a day the Lord has made! I am certainly going to be glad and rejoice in it!!

I was luck enough to go hang out with Gary for a couple of hours last night. He looked great, but was obviously in a lot of pain. Although he did woof back a grilled cheese sandwich, a salad and some coffee(later I smuggled him so Diet Coke, hope thats o.k Lisa) We watched two episodes of Two and a Half Men and had a few laughs. I was lucky enough to be there when they Moved Gary to his new room. Wow what a difference, sure is nice. Anyway, we all continue to miss you Gary and we all pray that you Kick this thing in the Butt and get better very soon.
