A night out... (thank you Grandma & Grandpa)

On Thursday we went out to support our very good friend who plays in a band (he's a drummer and he is extremely talented and good) and watched them at what we think was a try-out or audition to be the opening band for a large music fest coming up in September sponsored by a local radio station. We don't know when they find out if they get the gig, but they were by far the BEST band out of the 3 that played that night. We always have lots of fun hanging out with Jim and Jamie at these shows... I think we've only missed one or maybe 2 shows since Jim joined the band over a year ago and they play at least once a month. Really we're just paying our dues so when he becomes rich and famous we can say we know him and maybe he'll give us a job as a roadie or something!! :-)

Here are some pics from the night...

Tough Mudder

Here are some videos of the Tough Mudder challenge that Scott took part in (January 2012). So incredibly proud of these guys... I present to you... the Dirty Dads! And here is a FUNNY video I took of the final obstacle...not of the boys, but still so hilarious to watch!

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]

Brody stories...

Here’s another Brody story for ya... A few weeks ago the kids put in a Wii game to play. Shortly after the game began Samantha calmly walked over to me at my desk and in a super low voice said, ‘umm Mom, Brody just said a bad word’. Mind you we have taught our kids that words like stupid, jerk and shut up are all bad words so I wasn’t sure what to believe or expect. I then said ‘are you sure it was a REAL bad word’...to which she enthusiastically said, ‘oh, I’m definitely SURE this is a bad word’. Well, not wanting to spoil the plot I told her not to tell me and that I will just have him tell me. I called Brody over and with an oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone I just asked Brody what he said while playing the Wii game? In his equally oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone he said [referring to the Wii game] ‘oh, I just told Sam let’s get in there and kick their ass’! I know the boy should have had a bar of soap shoved in his mouth, but really??!! How can you not chuckle...or in my ca...

Juggling it all...
