All-Star Weekend

Anyone who knows me knows I love basketball and the NBA. But i have to admit that the All-Star Weekend for the past few years has been kinda lame. Who doesn't think the game itself is a little bit of a snoozer most years but the extra stuff has been super lame. Especially the Slam Dunk Contest. I mean even one year Fred Jones won because he happened to get his dunk in the final round to go down but not because it was anything extremely spectacular. This year though, this year was different. Dwight Howard was awesome. The first round dunks were great by 3 out of the 4. Rudy Gay was kind of a disappointment but Howard made up for that. The Birthday Cake was great by Gerald Green only to be outdone by the Superman dunk by Dwight Howard. My only complaint about the final round is that Gerald Greens dunks were down right boring. Who cares if you can dunk it with socks and no shoes. BORING.

Howard did not disappoint. The one where he threw the ball in the air then slapped it off the backboard with his left and hand dunked it with his right hand was a sight to see. Kenny Smith basically had the best comment of the night when he said "the man is a video game, I have only seen that in a video game, no, I haven't even seen that in a video game.

It was also fun to hear that Deron Williams won the skills challange. He set the record for this competition too. Even more ironic it happened to be against Chris Paul in the final round. Those two will forever be compared with each other and this just added to the comparison talks.

I love this game.

So I love this game. I spent more time than I probably should have playing it this weekend, though it was nice to not worry about school for the weekend. My nephew Braden and I played this one night in January from about 8:00 PM until about 3 AM. That was on a Friday night and normally wouldn't have been a problem but the next morning we had to be up and gone by about 8 in the morning. Needless to say we were way tired, but couldn't wait to play it again.

Finally, Presidents Day weekend finally came around. Everything set up good with Braden and my schedule. So, on Saturday and Sunday we stayed up all night trying to finally beat this game. The last time we tried to beat it. We even thought we were getting somewhat close(even after I beat 4 or 5 levels before we first played it together). Apparently not, because after another 8 hours of playing this weekend we still haven't beaten this game. There is even at least 1 more level before playing Dr. Doom. So we have to find another weekend where we will be able to FINALLY beat this game.

I have never really been into Role playing games but his one has been a great way to kill a ton of time and one that I really enjoy playing. Good thing Stu and Megan thought it was in the style of Street Fighter or Mortal Combat. That would have been great as well but I love this game.

Soon I will beat this damn game so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

Daxton

How CUTE is my little boy. Daxton Samuel Warren joined our family on January 9th 2008. Born at 9:25 PM at 6 lbs 5 oz and 19 inches long. When we brought him home on that Saturday it was great. The only problem we had was he got quite Jaundice. He had to sleep for 2 1/2 days on a billibed. Even though he didn't like it he did look pretty cute.

I can't beleive he is already 5 and a 1/2 weeks old. It is going by so fast. Daxton is staying awake longer during the day now which is fun because even though he can't do much right now it is more fun when he is awake with his big huge eyes. Megs is also enjoying staying home with him all day and is excited that she doesn't have to go back to work. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect son.
