a video for a friend

Thank God for Heather, man. If not for her & Jack prompting, we might not have recorded this video.

Gone are the days where the best I could get him to say is "I only like milk. Mommy only likes coffee." Because, while true, it doesn't really capture everything he's into. Enjoy:

top 5: Christmas Songs!!

Here my Top 5 favorite "unconventional" Christmas songs (that until today I hadn't heard yet this year).

1. For some reason, Paul McCartney gets hated on. I like it. This is a pretty cool montage video, too.


2. This amazing duet never fails to get me all choked up.


3. Shush. I hadn't heard it. Now I have.


4. Bruce Springsteen Rocks. :)


5. Mariah Carey may be a bit wackadoo, but she's got pipes.


BONUS: Because I COULDN'T help myself when I saw the video was available on YouTube.

songs from my wedding

 This was "our song" for our "first dance." That's in quotes because we got married in Las Vegas, then had a reception back home one week later. These songs are from that reception. We chose this one because of Hal Sparks on I Love the 80s on VH1. Yes, really.

 Do you guys know how frustrating it is for me to keep coming across Mariah Carey's dumb version? Maybe I'm showing my age or something,

 This video kinda freaked me out. I had no idea *that* is what this song was about. I couldn't listen to the whole thing, though. This was Nick's mother-son dance.

 Ok this is a really stupid video for a really great song.I could've put a version up that had clips from the movie Tarzan, but that's not really what I was going for. This was my father-daughter dance. Thanks for joining me on this trip down memory lane!

i believe i've waited long enough

ohmygodyouguys.

The concert in Cleveland is NEXT Tuesday!

So that makes this Foo Fighters Friday super double extra special, duh.

shame, shame go away

It's Foo Fighters Friday again!  This week's treat is a NEW live video from their NEW album tour, which I will hear LIVE in 10 days!  FYI: I will be making a total fool of myself at this concert. Most likely jump/bouncing straight up and down the entire time. And unable to stop myself from singing along. It's what I do. I have no shame.

fly along with me

This has got to be one of the funniest music videos of all time. I just watched twice in a row.

If you needed a laugh today... you're welcome.

Happy Foo Fighters Friday!

thought I'd save my breath for you

More video! Yay!




I will have words next week.

Happy Foo Fighters Friday!

(oooh that's a good idea!)

dear Trent...

Happy Birthday to the sweet son of my best friend.

See you this weekend, Mason family!

Wordless Wednesday: bounce house

Hey people.

I'm not quite ready for words again yet, so here's some fun for you - from just last night.



Oliver's daycare had a "carnival" open house last night. Can you feel the happy?

a crappy cell phone video for your Wednesday

My favorite band: foofighters

This album comes out in two weeks... April 12th... I can't WAIT!

Now, if only they would annouce a tour date in Cleveland, I'd be a super happy girl!

Wordless Wednesday: what's up, doc?

from naptimes past

 I was so happy for him when he started playing with his feet! It may be a weird thing to be proud of, but it was one of those first steps of self discovery.He was becoming an independent-thinking little baby boy, no longer a "helpless" infant. 

 That's a 3-6 month size sleeper.

Giggle-fest!

My favorite is the belly-laugh breakdown at about 1:10.

Sorry for the crappy crap video quality. I guess iPhones can't do it all.

Swagger.

OK. We don't have cable anymore, so I'm going to use that as my excuse for not having seen this commercial earlier. Thank goodness for other awesome bloggers like Emmie Bee and Kristi who post things like this where I will (eventually) discover them. If you've seen it already, please enjoy again. If not, you're welcome.

Wordless Wednesday - in motion

I apologize for my lack of anything interesting to say the past week. The whole family came down with some nasty bug and we spent a few days in bed. (Not sleeping, mind you, just in bed.)

To make it up to you, I offer a video of my sweet love doin' his thing... as you can see he's a very smart young man with all the contemplating of phyics that he's obviously doing.

Cute!

My camera takes pretty darn good videos. And our computer has a movie editor.
Here is what I've done:
