NKOTB...



Don't know what the above title stands for? Well, then you must not be a 30 something female who rocked out to New Kids on the Block concert 18 some odd year ago. And for those of you that also don't know, the New Kids are BACK. So of course this meant that me and my g-friends HAD to see them again. And see them we did! As soon as we heard they were going to be in town we forked out *gulp* $80 bucks with nary a blink. (Our nostalgic sensitivities were totally taken advantage of.) We HAD to be there. "We" includes me and my girls that go way back to Jr. High- Kerri, Jessica, Brianna (cousin too) and also Kerri's cool friend, Shannon. We waited a whole 5 months and when it finally came we were like a bunch of giddy little 12 year olds. When the boys came out the place erupted, the 5 of us doing our part to make sure the New Kids knew the girls were in house. These are pics of the girls just as NKOTB came out. They all looked a little flushed, wouldn't you say??? (Plz, don't kill me, B!)

So after some 2 1/2 hours of SCREAMING, singing and groovin', this 30 year old was spent. Funny because I don't remember feeling this way 18 YEARS AGO. Wow, I feel old. Ahh well. The boys are still older than me.... tee hee hee. Come to think of it, I don't remember a whole heck of a lot from the 1990 Marriott Center concert. Pretty much the only thing I remember is Jordan's open shirt blowing in the breeze....he was my favorite! Goll. What do you expect!


It was a fabulous night with my friends and one that I shan't forget (I hope. :) ) anytime soon. I wish my baby sister could have been there with me as she was the one that was with me during the concert and laughed when I had to sit down for fear of fainting. (I'll never live that one down)

Time to print....

my BLOG! I am now at the 75 post mark and this baby needs to go hard copy PRONTO! This is the main reason I am even doing a blog- no, not for you, silly! :)
SO I need your help. I have researched a few ways to print my blog and some of them seem difficult (i.e. editing HTML) or not quite what I'm looking for (i.e. having it professionally bound into a book) What have ya'll done? Or are you lazy like me and haven't done anything? My preference would be to just print it off on my printer and then put it into a binder (I already have a yearly picture book professionally bound) but I don't want all the extra stuff from the side of my blog on the print out. Understand? Anyhoo, any and all suggestions are welcome....please!

Halloween Happenings

I really enjoyed Halloween this year but I think Kyle enjoyed it even more. He has been pumped to get out there to get candy, candy, candy! Every house we came to Kyle said, "Stay here." while he tromped up to the doorstep yelling "TRICK OR TREAT!" or sometimes "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" (LOL) " all by himself. *sniff, sniff* He's getting so big. Noah on the other hand just enjoyed roaming around the neighborhood. He is all about the walking.



Ethan and Amy made the cut for my blog since they were so....creative this year. :)








They were both so cute in the superhero costumes. Kyle would run and look back so he could see his cape "flapping" behind him and then would get upset if it didn't flap in true superhero fashion. Unfortunately I couldn't get Noah to wear his mask. I was lucky to get the cape. Without that he would have just looked like a little boy with tights on...not good...


Whit woo!

The similarity is not a coincidence.
