House of Rock!

We are totally hooked on Rock Band (Wii). So hooked that we even dress up, or rather dress down, for our weekly band night. Above is Mark, my brother Chris & myself with Sasha & Yogi looking on - our groupies.

One night my brother Chris & his family said that they would be stopping by, so Mark & I decided to have a little fun. We wore our 'weekend clean the yard jeans' (lots of holes) then I used some of my hot pink hair gel (the one I used when we took Danny to Sea World) and pretty much plastered my hair with it (it didn't budge for days ;) I found some old eye shadow (I don't wear make-up) and gave myself a rock girl look. I must admit that was kind of fun. They were a bit surprised when I opened the front door.

Both of my boys play a couple musical instruments every since junior high. Jeremy lives in Portland, otherwise he'd be playing right along with us on our scheduled Thursday Rock Band night with Jason (pictured above with Mark). We named our threesome "House of Rock" and we pretty much rock the house on those nights! When it's just Mark & I, it is "Rock n Bull" (his nickname is Bullwinkle, go figure ;)

My nephew Ian is a born rocker! Mark likes playing the guitar the most. I like playing the guitar & bass too, but love the drums the most. Now I have the wireless drum set plus my own throne to sit on instead of the couch.


Ever since the night they came over, Chris has been on the lookout for a Rock Band set (Wii) and finally got one just a couple weeks ago. They are totally hooked as well. It's great family fun!


So, if you happen to hear music, LOUD music, coming from the southwest and catch a shimmer of glowing pink against the moonlight, it's just the House of Rock!

Have a rockn' week!
