pretty much the best concert EVER.............

So, my friend Cammi from my old work at Dentrix called me up on Friday and said she got some tickets to the NKOTB concert on Saturday night and invited me to go. I nearly peed my pants I was SO excited!! It was always my dream as a young girl to see them in concert and hear I was last night, living the dream. It was INCREDIBLY awesome. They sang all their hit songs from back in the 80's early 90's (step by step, hangin' tough, cover girl, the right stuff, love you forever, etc.....) as well as some of their newer songs. I was screaming SO loud (you'll hear it in the video) my throat hurts. I found this old album cover and had to post it. Ah..the good ole' days. Still love Jordan and Joey, they still got it. Don't worry Derek doesn't get too jealous, he's just glad he didn't have to go!! :) I was so bummed that I couldn't find my old NKOTB shirt from 1988 that I swear I had but couldn't find it anywhere. Oh well, pictures and video was enough. hahahhahha, it was SO much fun. Thank you thank you again Cammi for the invite, it was a concert night to remember!!

Lady Gaga was the first opening performer. In a word, YIKES!! She was kind of freaky weird. Wasn't much of a fan.
Natasha Bedingfield was the second and she was GREAT! I like her style. Their is video of her on the bottom.

Oh yeah, don't you worry we were on the 14th row on the main level. Pretty much the best seats ever...I think I lost some hearing. It was so loud my hair was bouncing from all the surround sound. Oh, and we made it onto the dancing screen that Jonny was video taping during the performance. Our group of ladies were on the big screen for about a good 10 seconds. sigh, wonderful!

Me and Cammi

Our group of HUGE NKOTB fans. They were so fun!

Did I mention our seats were awesome? Just checking!! hahaha

I DID IT!!!

Well ladies, I have FINALLY done it. I whacked my hair. I've been contemplating of whether I should cut my hair for the last year or so and I finally got the guts this week. I just needed some change in my life, and simplification with my hair. I am happy with the change. We'll see if I can keep up with the new do. I did an a-line cut, so it wouldn't do the triangle do that I had the last two times I've cut my hair short in the last 28 years. But back then there weren't flat irons either. Thank goodness for them flat irons. :) Anyways TADA!!

Our AMAZING Seattle trip!!!

We had the most amazing time visiting my brother Mike and Jen and the kids in SEATTLE last week! We didn't want to come home. (I'm writing this post pretty late so please bare with me in my writing) We took A HUGE LOAD of pictures from our amazing trip and that's why they are all in the slide show. Many of you know that my brother Mike recently got a coaching job with the Seattle Seahawks in July and moved his wonderful family out there. Mike was previously one of sea hawks scouts but was promoted to a coaching job, the assistant linebacker coach. Mike works the craziest hours, we only got to see him a few hours out of the whole week we were there but that's just how it goes. It was great seeing him when we could. He's working hard and is doing AWESOME! My sister in law Jen was so wonderful to us. She took SUCH good care of us and we had a BLAST with her and all the kids. Emma was in heaven with her cousins, especially little Ava. She also couldn't get enough of their sweet dog Roxy. They live in Issaquah, LOVE THAT PLACE! I could live there.

We want to give another thank you thank you thank you to the Phairs for all the fun and taking such great care of us during our visit. We miss the heck out of you guys. Emma misses all the fun and excitement as do all of us :) We love you guys!

yams......

Today I was just assigned to bring yams for wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. Umm..I've never made yams before. Please, if you have any good recipes, please feel free to share.

oh.... my gosh!!!!

Ok so my friend Shiloh introduced me to this movie 'Teen Witch" about 13 years ago and I have never been the same since. The movie came out in the 80's as you can tell. We are with my nephews and sister in law tonight and I started singing this rap song "top that" and they all just started staring at me and there was silence for a minute. They looked at me and asked what the heck I was singing. Well folks this is it!! Good times, good times. The first little bit is just the girls talking, but you have to watch the whole thing. Trust me, you'll never be the same. I showed my nephews and sister in law Jen what the heck I was singing and we were all laughing so hard, seriously my stomach hurts!!

p.s good gosh what the HECK ARE THEY WEARING??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I know what I want Derek and I to be for halloween next year. He'll be the main rapper dude. mmm....blue crop top. Love it! hahahhahaha!!!

Halloween - Part II

So Halloween night hasn't even started yet, but we wanted to put these pictures up. We went to UVU this morning to vote early. It ended up taking an hour and a half, but it was worth it. We got tons of comments on our costumes while waiting in line. We then went to visit Emma's aunt Kimmy at her work in the Riverwoods. We ended up taking a few pictures in the leaves while we were down there. Happy Halloween!
Love, the Flintstones

Halloween - Part I

So we got some pumpkins last week at the pumpkin patch. Emma has been obsessed with them ever since. She always points them out anywhere she sees them, and she has enjoyed playing with our pumpkins.

Tonight we finally carved the pumpkins and I think they turned out pretty nice. Take a look.
