Svenomenon!

We finally got another guitar controller for Guitar Hero. Needless to say, Jay and I were rocking out tonight! Our band is named Svenomenon and we were called out for two encores. We are pretty fantastic.

You may be wondering where the name "Svenomenon" came from. We love Sven from the Kare 11 Weather Team. We have been making jokes about him and including him in conversation for at least a year. He is always a strange shade of orange and looks like he is 12 years old and very small. Jay actually saw him at a 5K last summer and made a point to get close to him to see how tall he really is. The result is that Sven is not tall at all; Sven is quite small. Was that a bit of poetry? Anyway....that is how our band came to be named Svenomenon!

Took the kiddies to the zoo today. Ended up buying a membership for $85 instead of paying $28 for just today. I have to go 2 more times this year to make it worthwhile. So if anyone wants to join me, let me know! Ethan ran like a crazy person the whole time. In fact, I spent most of my time trying to find him--he kept running FAR ahead. Disney will be interesting this year, folks. How do we feel about child leashes?

i just hope svenomenon stays away from the drug scene and isn't torn apart by internal strife and jealousy!

the zoo might be a little over Gooey's head this year...maybe next summer. Hey, we do need to pick a pool we're going to get a season pass to...holla!

What up, girl?!?!? We also have a blog site Keith's sister started for us, but it's not personalized yet- google "Elk River Weatherbys" and you'll find it!

We still have a yearly pass for zoo-rific fun! it's GREAT!!! Also, we have discovered the como zoo- the amusement park there is AMAZING!!! all these little toddler-sized rides and stuff- Kaden LOVED it last year!!! :)
Anyways, I'm usually free Fridays until Summer!! :)
