What A Night
Last night James and I headed up to Kansas City to meet up with my brother and go to the City Market to watch the Alkaline Trio. We have been wanting to see the Alkaline Trio for years, and we all were so anxious to get to the show. Sadly you couldn’t take cameras inside, so I couldn’t get and pictures, but the show was amazing! The Alkaline Trio was the second band to play, and we were all screaming our heads off as they took the stage.
They played for just a half an hour, as there were 3 more bands that followed, but the set was amazing. James and I are already planning on seeing the Alkaline Trio headline in the near future. We all had a blast, and I have no voice today.
Well I didn’t come home empty handed or without a picture either. James picked me up an awesome Alkaline Trio hoodie, and Rob gave me the coolest Mother’s Day present.

My brother Rob hand painted me this amazing picture of Thade. I absolutely love it! I think he may be working on one of Dylan too. It is such an amazing picture, and Rob is so talented. I spotted a few more works of art around his house that were awesome too.
We had such an awesome weekend! I can’t wait for the next show.

I am a little too excited today! James is off work early, my Mom is coming up to babysit, and James and I are headed to Kansas City to hang out with my brother Rob. Oh yeah, we are also all getting to go and see my very most favorite band the Alkaline Trio! I seriously can’t wait, I think Rob and I have been wanting to see the Alkaline Trio for about 10 years now, so this is going to be awesome.
I hope that everyone has a safe and wonderful weekend! I’ll be back soon with pictures and probably a severe sunburn too.

Yesterday I was outside for most of the afternoon planting more seeds in the butterfly gardens. I finished up one fence row, and I moved on to start weeding the flower beds by the veggie garden. I was determined to get at least one of the beds planted, so just maybe I’ll get some good bugs to eat those bad ones. I was busy pulling weeds, and not paying too much attention, when I felt something big brush my hand. Immediately I thought it was a spider, and I jumped a bit and looked down to see a little brown toad.
I’m not certain that it is Spencer our beloved toad from last Summer, but this one looks awful close. Thade and Dylan shrieked with excitement when they saw the little toad, and they even got brave and pet him. I had to pick him up and give him a little pet on the sides, he is just to darn cute. I hope that he’ll stick around and take care of some of those bugs in the backyard.

One day in September Thade started preschool.

A quick nine months later, and it is Thade’s last day of preschool. We are all so proud of our big kid for doing such a great job in preschool.
