A Wii for Me!

So, Rob surprised me with a Wii for our anniversary. Ever since we first played one at his Dad's house, I have been saying how much fun it was and how I would like to have one some day (especially since Wii fit came out). As a thank you to my sweet husband who spoils me whenever he gets the chance, I knocked him cold in the boxing game :). I have been paying for my competitiveness for the last two days with arms so sore I barely made it through exercise class this morning...serves me right. Not that anyone reading this cares, but yesterday was a big Wii moment for me (as opposed to a wee Wii moment. hahaha). Anyway, I am the new ski jump record holder. I beat our buddy Aaron's record by 50 meters, and I must say, I am planning to rub it in for as long as possible.

My Mom and our family friend Alex visited this weekend and we got them in on the action too. We decided that Alex is a Wii savant. Alex recently moved here from India. He's never even seen snow, but he tore it up on the slalom course and pretty much schooled us in just about every other game. We had so much fun.

So, next time you visit the Cobb house, be prepared to face off in the sport of your choice Wii style.

UPDATE:
Ok, Ok...my record didn't last long. Neither did my bragging. I am humbled to say that Aaron holds the record once again.

12 Years Later and He's Still the One

Today is all about my husband. Not only is it Father's Day, it is also our 12 year anniversary... and like the song says "We're still havin' fun and He's still the one".

As I was thinking about the beauty and excitement of our wedding day, I remembered one of the highlights of our reception, and thought that after 12 years, it was probably time to set the record straight on this particular event. Scroll down, and as they say around here, I will "splain".


Here we are in our newly wedded bliss preparing to feed each other our first bites of wedding cake. What you don't see here are my best friends and bridesmaids egging me on to smear my new husband with tiramisu wedding cake. Unable to resist the peer pressure, I resolved to dab a bit of frosting on his nose ever so daintily so as not to mess up our carefully prepared wedding faces. As soon as the frosting touched his nose, this is what happened...


Rob totally lost control. Our grandparents were mortified. I think the only thing we both agree on is that we would do it all again!


Fortunately for my new husband, there was a pool close by for a quick clean up. Just in case you are tempted to try this at home, don't! Chlorine and tuxedo pants don't mix. Ninety bucks later, you will be the proud owner of a pair of unwearable penguin pants that you probably didn't want to put on in the first place.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MY LOVE!

What We Love About Daddy

In honor of Father's Day, the girls and I put together a list of things we love about Daddy:

Hannah:
* He prays with me
* He tucks me in at night
* He takes me to ballet lessons



Grace:
* He Barbeques yummy food for me
* He takes me to the pet store to see the fish
* He puts the tent up in the backyard for me to sleep in



Sarah:
* He gives good hugs
* He lets me play in the sprinklers
* He plays with me



Mommy:
* He is a wonderful model of the kind of husband and father our girls will look for some day.
* He is helpful in too many ways to list
* He loves all four of his girls and has never once complained about all the hair bows, pink clothing and baby dolls that fill our home...not to mention all the drama and incessant whining.


On the day he became the father of three beautiful daughters.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY HONEY! WE LOVE YOU!

In Honor of our Dads

Here's wishing the three of you the best Father's Day ever! We love you.
