A Picture Tag

So, I was tagged once again....But it is not too bad, even I can do this one. I am supposed to go to my pictures and get the 4th picture in my 4th folder. Hopefully it is not too embarrassing............






So....This is back in 2006. I was in Utah just at the right time to go to the Cache County Fair! I don't really know what I am doing in this picture, maybe trying to kiss the pig......not sure.......

Anywho, I tag:

Marcie

Jesse

Sandy

Carli

and Melese

Mostly because I am hoping to see more pictures of their new babies!!!!!

One Month!!!!

Just starting the Countdown! In one month Chris and I will be leaving on a jetplane to Asia! While there we will be indulging in Hong Kong's national pastime of:

SHOPPING!!!!!
(This is an actual picture Chirs took while in Hong Kong 2 years ago! There are so many people shopping!!!)


Then we are off to Tokyo for some fun time with Chris's friend Greg and his family. We are hoping to have a great time there as well!!

The Weekend

We had a busy weekend! I threw a baby shower for my friend Tiffany. Which was fun, but I was nervous since I don't really have any experience in that area. But it turned out well, and I of course bought too much food!! I always do that. I think I get that from my mom!

We also had company for the weekend. Chris's friend JP came to visit, we saw the James Bond movie (VERY GOOD!) and ate Tex Mex. Then Chris's other friend Nate came into town as well so Chris, Jp, Nate, Dave and Adam (all friends growing up in Michigan) had a City Slickers day while Adams wife and I went to the baby Shower. They went to a shooting range to shoot guns, and then they all went horse riding. I wanted to post some of the pictures of them shooting guns, but Chris didn't send me any pictures from his phone. I was also mad he didn't get any horse riding pictures. None of them have ever rode horses so they found a little farm where they were taken on a two hour horse ride. They were all embarassed because the owners made them wear little helmets and made them WALK ONLY in figure eights for two hours!!! Ha ha ha!! Looks like they will all have to go on a real horse ride some time!!

Then after all of that we went to Daves house for some good Texas brisket and Ribs. Then the boys played Guitar hero World Tour while we girls gave ourselves pedicures. Not a bad Saturday night!!! Too bad our friends had to leave today. Now it is back to business! Chris leaves tonight for a business trip (again!!) and I have to work all week! Bummer!!

Fun Concerts

We were able to go to two fun concerts right in a row. If you have a chance to see either of them....GO!!!

The first one was Ray LaMontagne. Chris and I both Love Ray's music, and actually consider his song "Shelter" to be "our song". We were going to dance to it at our wedding, but alas, we talk too much and it was too late when we realized we had forgotten all the dancing stuff! Whoops! Here is the song if you would like to hear it. We also really liked the girl who opened for him as well. Her name is Leona Naess, and she also sings with him on a couple of his songs on his new album.


If you want to hear some new music from her click here.


The next night we went to a show called "African Footprint."



It was an amazing show of the history of Africa, complete with Dancing and singing. It was one of the best shows I have ever seen, and to make it better....It was free!!! The park by our house where the Houston Zoo is has an outdoor amphitheatre where they have free shows at night. It is one of our favoirte things about living in the city. We have seen a Peter Pan play there, numerous musical numbers, last week a show about Asia (it had martial arts, music, dancing, etc.) But this last one was just amazing. Here is a link so you can see a bit of what it is all about! My favorite part was when they were having a step show/tap dance off! War of the dancing. Awesome!!
