Totally Rock'n Weekend

This weekend we had a big life lesson for Zachary.

He made his first major purchase with the money he's been saving for the past 6 months. So what did he buy...of course it was something very practical...Rock Band for the Wii. John and I were initially against the purchase...mainly because it was just too expensive. But what could we say when Zach had worked so hard saving up all the money on his own. He got such a kick out of watching the balance go up on his monthly savings account statements and he loved that his account drew interest or what he prefers to call his free money.

John and I are so proud of how responsible Zach is and we're actually quite happy with his purchase...because this thing is soooo much fun. Our whole family is enjoying being in the Band (our band name is Wii Rock)...so much so that we might even chip in and pay Zach back a little of his investment.

After many hours playing Guitar Hero, Zach is by far our best guitarist beating all the song on Hard, with Cameron and Ashley doing very well on Easy and a few Mediums. Courtney is our top drummer with John getting better and better after every song. I do fairly well on easy level guitar but prefer singing (that is if I can get the mic away from Courtney). I usually do the high songs and he sings the low ones...we both do pretty well and actually really enjoy it...although I'm sure the poor souls who have to listen to us would highly disagree.

Here are a few pics of us enjoying the game over the weekend...
