Look at all my boys, throughly engaged in the television.
What could keep the attention of all four? Four boys ranging in age from 34 to 2 years of age…. Was is a sporting event? A hunting show? A new video game?
No, no, and no…….
Only Miley Cyrus causes all 4 of them to stop in their tracks.
She played a concert on the TODAY Show last Friday. And since you already know we are a TODAY Show family, we tuned in. I will admit since Matt was on vacation all last week, Friday was the only day we tuned in! Just for Miley!
What causes your family to stop in their tracks??



Hockey games! All three of my older brothers played, and it can seem as though the world slows down when the MN Wild are on tv.

Football!!!! I am not a fan, unless Detroit is playing, but I really don’t understand the sport (I need football for dummies)! And my birthday, every so often (like this past year), is on Superbowl Sunday, so after 6pm, nooooobody cares that it’s my day! I already have it figured out, my 30th birthday will be on superbowl sunday too, maybe by then I’ll understand the sport, and Detroit will be in the superbowl…I won’t hold my breath, though!

I’d say that my family stops for American Idol or a fun game of Mario Cart on the Wii.

Wow – I didn’t know that you were a blogger. Me too!
My family brakes for The Birth House (yeah, we’re geeks), House (yeah, we are doubly geeks), and American Idol/So You Think You Can Dance (yeah, we have a house of (majority) gals).
The only other thing that my family brakes for is Chinese or Mexican food. lol!

What a riot. What on earth would they do at that 3D Imax Best Of Both Worlds tour? Miley Miley Miley.
At my house, the equivalent of Miley is Elmo. We have a way to go.

Right now…Hailey our new daughter and the boys’ sister. Everyone gathers around to enjoy her.
Outside of her, unfortunately it would have to be Barney, because he is the only thing my 2 year old will stop and watch; of course it would have to be the big purple thing I despise
