Awesome

The show was amazing. No opening act. Cake played a double set list with an intermission in between. They had a special guest on pedal steel guitar to play all those songs that just wouldn't be the same without it like Bound Away and Mexico. Also McCrea stopped between songs to joke around or tell a little story. They gave away a cherry tree during the show for crying out loud. Just awesome. They played a 4 song encore that lasted half an hour because of all the audience participation. Go out and buy their new album Showroom of Compassion. Number 1 on Billboard it's first week out.

Valentine's Surprise!

Shelby took me out to dinner for Valentine's Day and surprised me by walking me a few blocks over to the world famous Moore Theatre where she got us tickets to Cake! It's okay you can be jealous. My girl is the best.

Finally!

OK... I know once again I have neglected you all and failed to share pictures and stories of my wonderful, beautiful children. I must say things have been a little crazy but that is no excuse because Brandi has still had the chance to blog everyday (thanks Brandi.)

So we are home and everyone is wonderful. Gentry is probably our best baby yet. He is very content and we only get to hear him cry when he is hungry. He is probably our most talkative baby though we get constant noises from him. Our favorite is his gorilla impersonation that only happens in the middle of the night.

Getting ready to come home

Hanging out with Dad

First Bath

Our 3 muchkins!

Bryer LOVES being the big sister. He is the first thing she asks about in the morning and we end the night with her talking about him. She is constantly asking to hold him and always rushes to his side if she hears even the littlest peep.

Emerson had a bit of a rough transition at first. He was not ready to give up his title as "baby." He would want me to hold him instead of Gentry so he would run over to me and yell, "Mommy" and then gesture with his hand for me to put Gentry down. He seems to be doing a bit better now. We get our occasional object flying through the air towards Gentry but all and all he is getting better. I think more than the change of bringing Gentry home he is entering his "Terrible Twos" and let me tell you we are in for a wild ride.

Scott went back to work on Monday and I was a little worried. I mean the logistics of taking 3 children to the store scared me. Especially since 2 of them need to ride in the cart, 2 need to be carried and it rains here 90% of the time. However, the kids and I have ventured out a few times and thus far everything is great. I mean it does take a little longer, small shopping carts (Joann's and Michaels) suck, and when Bryer or Emerson fall asleep in the car we need to just head home.

Other than that we are doing wonderful.

Scott with the kids all asleep!

Scott almost finished the nursery on his 2 weeks off. When it is complete I will get pictures of for you guys. Hopefully this weekend we can get our Formal Living and Dining room painted so we can get our Christmas tree and put it up. I have decorated a bit but this year Christmas has just crept up on us. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with it all so instead of being crazy and trying to get it all done I have done nothing. I am optimistic that it will not rain this weekend [it will rain all weekend] so Scott can put lights up, our painting will get done and all decorating will be complete. hahah.

It begins!

So I am standing in front of Toys R Us for a black Friday sale that starts early. The good news is that I am in front of the store so I can see in the store. I am literally like 3 feet from the entrance. The bad news is that I am not at the front of the line. I am in about the middle of a line that goes completely around the building and then back around half way. At least it is 36°. Yesterday at this time it was only around 20°. Should have worn my North Face jacket with thermals.

First snow of the year!

Gentry was born on the first snow of the year. That means I don't have to deal with crazy road conditions for the next couple of weeks. Woohoo!

90% off Halloween Sale

\

A week and a half after Halloween and the kids are still dressing up.

Zombie Prisoner Bryer and Risky Buisness Emerson.

Okay, so Emerson isn't really in costume. He just likes walking around with no pants on. I wonder where he gets that from?

We also got Astrid (How to train your Dragon), Astronaut, Ninja, and a Pirate! We will go looking for more later!

Boo or should I say Moo!

Happy Halloween! Today we spent most of the day relaxing. I was able to get a nap in. We watched the football game, the kids played. Then of course we went out to Trick or Treat. This year we all dressed up as a family which was very fun.

Bryer loves Trick or Treating. Emerson doesn't care about the candy being put in his bag just about how fast he can take the candy out of the bag and put it in his mouth.

[When we got back Emerson decided to dress up like a Zombie. A candy Zombie.]

Yesterday was spent running errands and mailing gifts out to some people that are having babies very soon. ( Your packages should all be to you be Tuesday. I hope you all enjoy.) While we were out and about Bryer got a Police Officer dress up set. Emerson hated it!

Emerson has also thought it is very funny and cute lately to use his feet to help him eat.

Just a quick reminder what tomorrow is...

...that's right! It is the Premier of AMC's new original series The Walking Dead. Make sure to set your DVRs. You don't want to miss out on this like you missed out on MadMen.

Back to the grind stone.

Boooo work. This is after delivering 15 stops and 110 pieces.

Get a load of these brackets.

[So I guess I am supposed to use brackets. But, do I need to use brackets if I am posting the entire passage? I thought I would share my day with you since I stayed home. I woke up at the crack of 9:30 and then went and got Emerson up. He has been sick this last week with Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease (the uninitiated can Google it) so he has been the perfect picture of misery. Blisters and ulcers in your mouth preventing you from eating or drinking would make you cranky too. Fortunately he is on the better side of it now so today was a good day. Bryer came down stairs at about 10:30 and wanted to watch Ice Age 3. Instead, we watched Rocky Horror Picture Show. I fast forwarded it past some of the more racy stuff and Bryer just thought Tim Curry's character was a girl so really it was just a bunch of singing and dancing which she and Emerson love. It warmed my heart to see my children doing the time warp. Later it was off to Costco to get a tire replaced on the Durango and then to the doctor for me. Good news, most of the blisters on my eardrum are gone. The doctor still has no idea how they got there in the first place but oh well. My money is on ear herpes. After that, dinner at Claim Jumper (no Chris, I did not eat an entire I Declare by myself again) and now back at home doing this. That is my day thus far.

Perhaps I shall post again soon. We shall see.]
