Tim McGraw and Father's Day


In June, we went on a double date with the Stakers to see Tim McGraw in concert.

Cassadee Pope was the opener and she was great.  She was like the opener's opener so the crowd wasn't really settled in and listening.  I noticed this same thing with the Kenny Chesney concert last summer.  Kacie Musgrave was the first opener.  I was pretty bummed because I was actually most looking forward to hearing her and when she preformed it was kind of hard to even tell-- I could barely hear her.




The second opener was . . .  oh gosh I can't even remember his name.  Obviously he didn't impress me too much haha


My "country look" haha



Finally it was Tim's turn!  So let's just get something straight.  I'm not really into country music, and Tim McGraw IS country music.  I do like a few of his songs (I like the ones that are so popular, you can't help but know the words :) and he is a good entertainer, yet I couldn't help but compare his showmanship to Kenny Chesney's and Tim McGraw came up short for sure (though Kenny Chesney is actually shorter in real life haha).  Kenny Chesney just has a TON of energy and it exudes at his concert.  Tim McGraw was more mellow with a lot of slower, country ballads.  So that's my critic voice.  As far as a date night goes, it was a lot of fun!  I love being out with friends and my honey!



One of my favorite parts of the show was when Tim introduced his band and where they were from and how long they have played their instruments.  It was fun to think of these guys that just love music so much and probably think its pretty great to get to play night after night with such a popular singer.



I also really liked when Tim McGraw was playing with a baby.  I am so baby hungry haha.



The next day was Father's Day!  We had our (second year running) annual father's day dinner of great steak, corn, watermelon, salad, and rolls.  Jackson and Anna were happy to snack on extra watermelon while we waited for the steaks to grill.

We are so lucky to have this guy here as the father of our family.  He is a wonderful dad who works very hard at being that wonderful dad!

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...

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...
