Family Visit and new Wall-E toys...

As you heard in an earlier post my mom got Gabriel an interactive Wall-E toy. It's voice activated so as Gabriel says "Hi Wall-E" Wall-E responds with various answers and noises, if you get too loud then he makes all the scared sounds from the movie, it's really cute!! Well, when Jeremy's family came to visit they got Gabe the counterpart "Eve" toy and they are really neat to watch together. They are smart toys are made to recognize and respond to each other!! Gabe LOVES IT!!

Wall-E's eyes light up and his arms move, Eve's gun shoots if you move her gun arm at things!!

E-vaaaaaaaaa- (he he!!)

If you yell at Eve too loud she "shoots" at you with her gun sounds!! LOL!!

If you tip her to the side like she's flying she makes all the flying sounds from the movie too!! Gabe is just having a ball playing with both Eve and Wall-E!!

A new toy!

Jeremy and I love Netflix. We have been using them for a while. Along with DVD's they also offer a lot (over 10,000 titles) of "on demand" content. You can watch any of those titles immediately right on your computer. I LOVE THAT!! That is how I watch 90% of the TV shows I like anyway. I watch "How I met your Mother" at the shows CBS website. and the same goes for a lot of other shows I like. I just watch them on the computer when it's convenient for me. However, Jeremy doesn't like it- he doesn't want to watch T.V. or Movies on the Computer- he wants to watch them on our T.V. ( I get it, our T.V. is much bigger than our monitor and the couch much more comfortable than the computer chair, LOL)

Anyway, we have a new toy that fixes some of that problem!! The Netflix Player by Roku. If you already use Netflix. it's a no brainer- you just buy the player and that's it. No additional monthly fee. I love it, The box it tiny- it works both wired and wirelessly (which is how we hooked it up) and it automatically has your instant queue available on your T.V. (YAY!!) I've been using it all day and thought I would share. It's HD ready as soon as Netflix starts streaming in HD, but so far ABC.com is the only site I've seen that's streaming in HD, you can watch episodes of LOST in HD.

It's so little and cute! Check it out!! It's smaller than a DVD case!! (it's the little black box to the right of the DVD case)

My new Toy!!

As you know Jeremy just got a really cool new camera, well.. it's no DSLR but I got a pretty darn cool camera too!!

I got the Sony DSC-H7 it's an amazing point and shoot camera and is exactly what I wanted!! (8.1mp with a 15x optical Carl Zeiss lens!) It shoots HD video too if I'm feeling creative! I'm really just excited about it's ability to do what I really want out of a family workhorse camera. Take pictures of whatever I want- whenever and wherever I want and make them look good!

My new super cool toy!

New toys...

I got my hubby a new toy and just wanted to share. If you know us, well... then you know we like techie toys, so you'll appreciate that I got Jeremy a new camera. If you know anything about cameras then you'll know he's really happy with the one I got him! I got him a Nikon D80 Digital SLR. (I also got him the 18-55mm & the 55-200mm lenses. If he's a really good boy he may get an even bigger VR lens for our anniversary! )

It's a really nice camera and he's very excited to learn all the fun new things he can do with it.
