The Decemberists

It's concert time again! Chris and I went on Tuesday to see The Decemberists up in Denver. The concert was amazing. The opening band was really good and The Decemberists were... amazing. I've liked them for a little while now and we've had the tickets since February. They went straight through their new album 'The Hazards of Love" took a little break and came out to play some of their older stuff. They played for almost two hours. Did I mention that they sounded amazing?


Gregg... I have a feeling that if you were a singer this is what you would look like! :)

When we were outside waiting in line to get into the venue we saw Colin Meloy get off the tour bus and go inside the building. Too bad I didn't have my camera ready because he was only about 10 feet away from where we were standing. Oh well...




This is my favorite song from the new album.




Saturday... Neko Case

End of the year stuff

I can't believe it's the end of the school year again. Sidney had her 6th grade "graduation" yesterday and will be going to the junior high next year. *sigh* She had a great run at PVE and I can't believe it's over. She was a tiny bit sad that she's not in elementary school anymore, but she is so excited about getting to wear flip flops to school next year I think she's already over it!





This was Sidney's 3rd grade (and favorite of ALL teachers) Mr. Hicks. Soon enough she'll be taller than him! :)


Megan had her awards ceremony today. Next year she'll be a big, bad 6th grader that rules the school... or something like that. She had a really great year too.

And this is just a funny video of Megan's new favorite saying... on helium...

Trish, party of four...

Today we went to lunch to celebrate the end of the school year for everyone in our family. It's been a rough couple of weeks and thought we'd go to a well deserved lunch. Alicia's kids used to call Chris "Trish" because they couldn't say his name right. When we walked into Red Robin today we decided to put "Trish" down on the waiting list. We all got a good laugh when they called out "Trish, party of four..." (The hostess was probably wondering what was so funny!) I love my family!
