Michael Bublé

I am a die hard Michael fan. I have been for a long time and I will always be no matter what people think or say. I saw him by accident the first time in Minneapolis in 2003, then in 2009, and I got to honor to see him again Friday. We started the evening with dinner at La Ha and it was amazing. Our waiter apparently thought we loved tequila because he gave us more then a double dose of it in our margaritas. He even brought the bottle out and dumped more on them. It was ridiculous! We had a lot of laughs and the food was fantastic as always. I got extremely excited when we walked in! It was a giant adrenaline rush. It was fun to see the different age groups that attended. Our section was amazing. First off, our seats...are you kidding me?! They were fantastic! I loved them! I felt like I could touch him! We had a 3 high school girls behind us that were utterly adorable. They knew the words to every song and were just in awe of him. It was so sweet. We also had this awesome older lady in our section. She could get down with the best of them. It was fun to watch her dance around and enjoy the show. The show. I did not want it to end. Naturally 7 opened for him again. They have always had great voices but their stage performance has increased significantly. They really got in with the crowd and seemed so much more relaxed. I really enjoyed their performance. It was a great start to the evening! Michael came out in style, singing my favorite tune right off the bat. I felt like a 14 year old screaming at Justin Timberlake. I was in heaven. The whole concert start to finish was perfection. I got teary eyed when he sang "home" and dedicated it to the troops and as he sang, there was a slide show going on. It ended with a photo of the Capital of Des Moines. It was beautiful. My epic down fall was his last song. He started off on stage with his band, then one of his trumpet players appeared behind us and played for a bit. Then lights went down, his band went behind the curtain, and he went unplugged. There, in Wells Fargo Arena, Michael sang with no band, no mic, and no flashing lights. It was a very intimate moment that left me in tears. I had goosebumps all over and was just in awe. I felt like an idiot until I realized I wasn't the only one in tears. To sum this evening up, perfection doesn't even come close. Amazing food, phenomenal performance, and of course, exceptional company! Here are some photos:

Rainy Monday

It's another Monday, luckily it's almost over! The weekend was once again a blur! Full of family, friends, BBQ's, and many, many laughs. Jax is really starting to get his crawl on! I'm so excited for him to get moving. Now, I am sure a few weeks from now I will be singing a different tune! He had his 6th month check up today! He is currently tipping the scales at 22lbs and is 28 1/2 inches long. He is in the 98% all around. We love him so and Jake is absolutely amazing with him. I love watching them together! It is so much fun. Now that Jax is on the move, Jake does get a little irritated. Especially when Jax grabs something of Jake's. It will only get worse from here.

I feel that I need to take a day off just to sleep. I need to catch up. This is not going to happen for a long time. I have a full load of things going on this week. Thursday = most excited about!

Today my day started off horribly. It was storming extremely bad. I was taking the kids to daycare and it started to let up a little. I thought I was off the hook. Wrong, so wrong! I pull up in the drive way and it starts pouring out. Giant drops of rain that would drown ants in a heart beat. Then the wind picked up so the rain came down in a horizontal pattern. I get out of the car and in a matter of seconds, my pants are soaked. I get Jake into the safe zone and ran out to fetch Jax. At this point my shirt gets soaked and my hair is now drooping in my face. My umbrella did not help. The wind was just too insane. By the time all was said and done, I was drenched head to toe and just should have gone home. Why can't I take signs when they are given to me? I proceeded to look like a hottmess the rest of the day! Thank you weather!

I am also questioning what most people almost 30 probably do...what should I do when I grow up?!

Uncharted

I love this song. I have since this album came out. For the past month I have been obsessed with the music video. I just enjoy all the cameos and watch it if I am in a foul mood. Especially the fact that Josh Groban and Adam Levine sing...amazing! The fact that Keenan Cahill made an appearance just did it for me! Click on his name and the videos are amazing!! Love it!

I have a belt!

Yes, I have severely been lacking in the blogging department. I really don't have any other excuse other then the fact we have been extremely busy. Let's see....

Kids: Jax is now 6 months old! Time is going so fast, I cannot believe it. He just started eating solid foods and is eating like a champ. He loves everything he has tried so far. I have been making his food and it has been so much easier than I thought it would be. He started to “crawl” in the past few days. It’s more like he is doing the worm but it’s something. He is still happy as ever! We are pretty sure he has some teeth coming in. Be warned that he may suck on you if he gets the chance! Jake has doing awesome at his new day care. She keeps him extremely busy so he comes home exhausted. He is turning 4 in a few weeks and I am slightly emotional about it. I don’t feel like it has been that long already. He’s growing up so fast! 

Mom: She had her surgery and is doing awesome so far! Day 2 of being part titanimum and she is rocking and rolling. She has been up and walking today and is doing really well with her therapy. She will probably get to go home Friday (tomorrow)! She is kicking butt and taking names! We have had a great experience so far. I am so thankful for all our family that came and hung out with us yesterday for the day. My friends have been amazing. Between tons of texts, phone calls, Starbucks drop offs, I’m so blessed for them all! I hope she continues to do well and progress the way she is!

Life: Wondering about my title?! I finally decided I needed a belt. I had another pant incident a few weeks ago and enough is enough. This was and is still a big thing for me. It has been a blessing!! Michael has been MIA for over a month. He has been working like crazy on side jobs. They all came in at once so he has been gone most nights. The kids and I are having fun but can’t wait till he’s home more! We are thinking about trying to sell again. We never put it on the market last time but we are really starting to bust out of the seams! Our big issue is still trying to figure out where to move. I say Texas since everyone else is moving there!! We will have discuss this in detail soon. My OCD side is going to want to make a pro/con chart, maybe even colored. Weekends have been stock full of family and friends. BBQ season is in full swing and I love being able to just be with everyone and relax. Since it is summer most days at home, if it’s not raining, are spent outside! 

That is pretty much our life right now. Rarely home and always on the move!
