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...

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Another before and after... this one is not so dramatic...

Before: 4 bandanas (2 zebra print & 2 pink polka dot) After: 1 very ADORABLE bandana dress and 1 super STYLISH bandana shirt Now I know this is not a new concept here, but I am really quite proud of my little sewing creation. So proud that I'm sure the girls are going to be screaming and chanting 'put down the bandana and just walk away'. These were oh so (and sew) easy!!! I'm seeing one in every color and pattern for the girls... oh the possibilities!!

Now I know why...

Today, for the first time, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I get it. I am now in the club. I now know why most moms only want a family photo as their gift for Christmas, birthday, Mother's Day or any other gift-giving holiday. Why do I know this... because today was OUR family picture day and it was everything I wanted and more. I don't care if no one looked at the camera, I don't care if we all had something stuck in our teeth... it was a picture of me and my most favorite people on earth and that right there is worth more to me than ANYTHING that could ever be purchased. So, in honor of picture day I just couldn't help but grab my own camera as soon as we got home to get a few shots of my own since we were all lookin' uber cute. Completely random pics, most out of focus (I really am working to train Scott and Sam), but just a little sneak peek of us...
