Girls Boy Band Night

So....... My sisters, my daughter and my twin niece and nephew came over for a Boy Band Night! Old videos of BSB and NKOTB. Liz & I had a BLAST. The others... well..... Liz & I had a BLAST! We decided we should do a Butt Rock 80's Band Night next! Stay Tuned.....

Alicia- Rockn it Out

Brinley & her Monkey PJ's

I absolutely loved these monkey pajamas from the second I saw them! And the first person I pictured wearing them, was Brinley. They fit perfectly! Here she is wearing her monkey jammies, eating a snack and being cute & fun as always!

HaPpY BiRtHdAy BrInLeY!!

Brinley is the sweetest & smartest 2 year old ever! She only needs to see something once- and she remembers. She also has an amazing vocabulary. I can sit and watch her play and talk for hours and it just amazes me. I love how she is tall but so thin and light! Even a wimp with a bad back like me can just swoop her up! She is Liz & Brents first child and she has a little brother Wyatt, who is due in July (I am so excited to see him!!).

Here are some shots from Brinley's birthday party at Grandma Schultz's house.

Brent is holding Brinley... She was really surprised when they sang "Happy Birthday Dear Brinley.." She didnt realize we were singing for her, until then!

Getting a close up look at her new Baby Doll.

Good practice. She'll be babysitting her little brother in no time!

Happy Birthday!!!

Alicia & Buster

Buster is Alicia's buddy. He was a surprise for Christmas from her Dad a couple years ago. Alicia could tell you the exact date and time! Buster is a very big part of Alicia's world. So I wanted to share a few pics of them together- we took these fun pics at a park by our house.

N.K.O.T.B. Still has it baby!

15 years ago I went to my first concert. Back then- nothing was hotter than Danny, Jordan, Jon, Joey and Donnie aka New Kids on the Block! I remember being madly in love with Jordan- and then Donnie... and then Jordan again and then... oh well- you know how it goes.

I shared some of my then most prized possession... posters of New Kids with my little sister Liz, for her to hang on her bedroom wall- that was the start of her own musical love affair with them. When she called me last Saturday and asked if I wanted to go to their concert... I got up and looked online for available tickets. Someone must have made a mistake in the prices and when I called the agent to make the purchase, he tried to get me to purchase other tickets. We bought the ones for $60- which were right by others tickets listed from over $100.00 up to $480.00! Crazy.

We had fun even before the show- texting messages to the jumbo tron! Then at 8:00.. it started!! Lady GaGa!! And Natasha Bedinfield!!! Both, opened the show. Liz and I had such a great time! Every one was screaming and singing... all the old songs they played seemed to have an updated sound to them. I was surprised I remembered so many songs. But then again- I did listen to their tape 24/7 for an entire summer. The looked and sounded awesome!

Liz- thank you so much for going with me!! I love you!

Here are some pics and a quick movie that I took that night, that demonstrates the screaming I was talking about!
