Somewhere With You

I surprised Erik with an early birthday present: tickets to see Kenny Chesney.  He had gone to one of his concerts before we met and I knew that he really enjoyed it.  Kenny Chesney is one of the few country singers that I mostly like, so it was a good one to go to :)  Brittany and Derek Staker kindly, graciously, and amazingly agreed to watch the kids for the day.  We left around 2:00.  The concert was on the other side of DC, at the Redskins stadium, so it took a good two hours to get there and park.  I honestly was really excited for our special date :)

I was so happy when that sun set; we were staring right into.  The very first opening act was Kasey Musgraves, whom I had first heard about on a NPR review (yup I get my information on today's singers mostly from NPR)  Anyway, I really like her.  Her songs are pretty different from most country songs and she has quite a pretty voice.





Lots of people still were not there (or at least had not taken their seats).  The next artist was . . . oh shoot I can't remember.  It was a band, and their songs are mostly slow country ballads which are my least favorite so I wasn't that interested.  After that was Eric Church who was definitely interesting to say the least.  I'm fairly certain that he has written in his contract that every single one his songs mention drinking. He was literally pouring shots of something all over his face throughout the performance.  Needless to say the crowd was loving it haha.

Sadly, my phone died so I didn't get any pictures of the main event!  But I will say that Kenny Chesney really is an awesome performer.  He is like a little ball of energy the whole time he is up on that stage.  Oh and his songs really are fun.  Of course most people were getting progressively drunk as the night wore on, with some people actually throwing up into the aisle (yuck!).  All in all though, it was super fun night with Erik.  We danced together, sang together, and pretty much just felt like teenagers on a care free date which is a hard thing to do when you've been married for (almost) 10 years and have three kids :)

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

21 Weeks

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
