Date Night =)

Matt and I attended the first annual Microbrew & Music Festival this afternoon and we had a BA-LAST!

The event featured over 100 brews....Matt was heaven! It rained the whole time, actually it poured, but nothing could have kept the people away!

We had some great food, Matt drank some amazing brews, we listened to some of the best musical acts around! we were lucky enough to be surrounded by old friends and even chat it up with some new ones!!

Thanks Grandma-Grandma for babysitting!

Here is his latest and greatest attempts to keep us busy =)

Madison.....

is sporting a women's size SIX shoe! My baby girl is growing up so fast! And I might add that she doesn't like plain jeans...she wants something with glitter or "something fun" on them =) Oh boy!

Hot Peas 'n Butter

Ever heard of them? Think "The Wiggles" or "Backyardagains" with this one. Hot Peas'n Butter wasn't something I was familiar with but I'm glad my cousin Kristin offered the tickets (who passes up front row ANYTHING?) and Madison and I were glad to accept.

Some of the song content was a little young for Madison but she LOVED to watch them play the guitar, bong-go drums and of course, singing! Although being as tall as the amazon does have its downside - Madison had to sit on her knees while in the front row while everyone else was able to stand =) We had a great time, bought an egg shaker (because all the cool people in the front row had one) and a CD (Garrett will thank me later)!

Madison and Conner..and the Bear

Me and my girl!

Thanks again Kristin and Conner - we had a great time!

Ahh, kids =)

Garrett is teething (which means he is getting up once or twice a night) which is big change from him sleeping 10-11 hours straight. Mommy needs more sleep. I guess we'll just load him up with Tylenol before bed =) to help him sleep. Just kidding. Sort of. Maybe. I did purchase a crib toy for him this afternoon - who ever this Fisher-Price man (or woman) is much be making MILLIONS! $40 for a crib toy that lights up and plays music?? I'm sure I could have used my magiver skills and make a toy of my own but CPS may have had some interested thoughts on that. I kid, I kid. But maybe my Eagle Scout could have come up with something?

Madison. She cracks me up! She now gets ready in warp speed, dashes to the door and waits for me (not carrying a single one of the 4 bags that I lug to the truck) just so she can try and sneak flip-flops to camp!! Agghhh - she IS my little girl! I'll really have to keep on my toes because last week she got me, got me good! Our morning trip to the truck consist of several trips: Garret and his bag, my work stuff, my bag, treats for the dogs and anything Madison may not have been able to carry (you'd be amazing what she can't "fit" into her backpack). The last trip is a check for my phone, wallet, keys! It one morning of madness she beat me to the truck and carefully placed a bag over her feet (very cleaver) and little did I know she was wearing her black, knee high boots! This may not have been a problem expect she didn't put on any socks (no time) and it was supposed to be 80+ degrees at camp!! You got me once Madison, I'll give you that. Never again kid, never again!
