Just another day....

And I'm off this weekend to the Pacific Northwest Highland Games in Enumclaw Washington for another awesome competition. Wahoo!

Barenaked Ladies are a BAND

I am sorry but I have been extremely surprised by how many people don't know who Barenaked Ladies (or BNL) is! What the heck?! If you are one of those people, please let me know! And tell me how you got through school without hearing "One Week" or "If I had $1,000,000"?!! (Also for you people, BNL happens to be playing right now) Anyway, there was a concert at Red Butte Tuesday and it was incredible. There are no words to describe how genius they are. Sorry. So, thanks to MJ, we got front row! We had a blast! Here is the adventure!

Brandi, me and BJ

Just to give you some perspective of where front row is! It was totally cool!
Angel Taylor was one of the intro bands. Her voice is amazingly clear and awesome!

Nicholas and his friend showing off their stuffies.

My dad and Nicholas.

Nicholas just had to have a flowy tiara! :D

Kris Allen was the 2nd warm up band. Apparently he won American Idol. There was a group of girls (one of them 30+ yrs old) sitting right next to us that follow Kris Allen to all his concerts. So what did they ask us? "Who are Barenaked Ladies? Is it a classical group because I see lots of wine and cheese." :D Made my day. Oh yeah and they left half way through BNL. Haha.

They were actually pretty good. I was surprised. He sings that song "Live like you were dying".

Ed was pointing at a dude at the very top of the hill (above Red Butte) and to the "eaves-droppers and free-loaders" as they called them. :D (Shown below)

The eaves-droppers.

Ed eating a plant. You had to be there. :D

(It's a good thing it wasn't a philodendron.)

Me and Brandilicious.

The chick who thought it would be a good idea to start dancing in front of me like a drunkard.

Barenaked Ladies rockin' it.

It was an absolutely awesome show. Highly recommended. :D

Old Pictures

I found some funny old pictures of me and Ben (and a few others) playing with our Mac laptop when we very first got it 4 years or so ago. Hehe.

Ricky Gervais Rockin' Sesame Street

I love it! I have no idea how he can not laugh through his skits!

4th of July or BUST!!

....ok it was a bust. I had a fun filled weekend planned only to have my back go out again and have to miss out on all the fun. :(
I made these awesome cupcakes for MJ's famous 3rd of July BBQ and Fireworks Celebration! I was all ready to go and then my back went out so I was very disappointed. I made Red Velvet Cupcakes with cream cheese frosting with blueberries and strawberries to accent the season!

They did end up being quite tasty at least. I shared them with the local fam.
On Saturday I was going to do the Centerville and Sandy parades with my band. I was actually looking forward to doing the Centerville one since it is my home town and I have never done it before so I was really disappointed for that too. Well, anyway. Hopefully next year I will have a bit better luck. I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

This made me giggle. :D
