NKOTB - go ahead be jealous!

On the 15th I went to the New Kids on the Block Concert. Yeah your jealous aren't you! I'll go ahead and say yes I WAS a fan! I'm not going to run out and buy any of their new stuff. But I have fond memories of the New Kids! I missed the first concert 15-18 years ago so I was so excited when Deanna called to see if I wanted free tickets. Yes my friends I said FREE! Oh yeah and we were on the floor. Granted we were about 8 rows from the back but we were on the FLOOR! It was so much fun. We danced, we sang and we had a blast! My sisters are totally fun to hang out with. My aunt also went. It was also her birthday so Happy Birthday to you, indeed! My cousin was there (she took the pictures below with my sisters' camera) but she didn't go with us. She also had WAY better seats then we did. But who cares ours were FREE!

The concert opened with Lady Gaga. She was pretty good. I would describe her as a mix between Madonna and Christina Agulera (sp?). I actually knew one of her songs.


The next opener was Natasha Bedingfield. She was good, but the set was pretty boring. I knew a few more of her songs. Especially since I love The Hills and the opening song is one of hers.


Then finally NKOTB!


Like I said these pictures were taken by my cousin because she was so much closer. I took some pictures but they were blurry and just not very good.


Recognize this move? They did a bunch of their old song and their old moves! Loved it!



In the middle of the set NKOTB preformed a few songs in the middle of the arena so we actually got pretty close! I always thought that Jordan was the cute one. But after seeing them, I'm leaning toward Donnie... yum.


And guess who we saw.... David Archuleta. I'm not a fan of his or American Idol but just the fact that we say someone "famous" was pretty cool!
The funniest part of the show was when Jordan did a Sole. (Donnie, Joey and Jordan all had soles). He stood at the top of the stairs with his shirt open and the "wind" was blowing. I couldn't help but laugh. And the girls went wild!


So that is my review-ish of NKOTB. It was a lot of fun and I'm so glad that I could go! Thank Deanna!!!

Thanksgiving


This Thanksgiving my mom challenged my family to take pictures throughout the entire month of things that we are Thankful for. On Thanksgiving we are going to show our pictures either creatively with on a CD, a scrapbook or just the old fashion pictures. I've been pretty diligent in taking pictures each day. But I'll admit it's hard to come up with 27 things to be Thankful for. So I need your help. Tell me what you are thankful for. (I have most of the obvious - Bob, Zack, Abbie, Home... etc.)

4 Months



I didn't forget to do a post 4 months update. I was waiting until we went to his 4 month appointment to get all his stats. And I must say he is growing like a weed (literally!)

STATS:
Weight: 15.9 lbs
Length: 27 inches!!!

At his last appointment he was only 23.5 inches long. He had a huge growth spurt. His height puts him above the 95 percentile. He's off the charts! The doctor recommended getting him a basketball! LOL.

He did pretty good with his shots. Cried for a minute then he was good. He did get pretty cranky in the middle of the day. It was so sad, because I could tell it was his legs that hurt because when I would try to pick him up he would just cry harder. Poor little guy. I gave him some Tylenol and we layed down on the couch for the next 3 hours. It was good cuddle time.

New Things Zack has been doing:
  • He laughes more. Yesterday he was playing with my mouth by putting his fingers in my mouth and he was just laughing. It's so cute what entertain him!

  • Love playing with his toes.

  • Sitting by himself a little longer but not quite by himself yet.

  • Loves playing with his toys.

Zack has also started being babysat during the day while I am at work. As far as I know he's done pretty well. I hope that as he gets older that continues.

And here is a comparison picture.

Monkey'ing around

Happy Halloween. This post is a little bit late, but better late then never right... LOL.

Zack was a Monkey for Halloween.


(I think he thought if he pretended to be alseep I'd stop taking pictures of him)

I was a Witch


And Bob was Bob (scary!)


We had a lot of fun for Zack's first Halloween. We went to the ward Trunk or Treat. Where Bob took Zack to most of the cars for candy. Zack hadn't slept much that day so he was pretty tired and ornery. I just handed candy out at the car. But it was okay because I could watch Bob and Zack going around to the cars. Next year will be much more fun because Zack will hopefully be walking.


After Trunk or Treat we went to my mom's house where we entertained My mom, Gma, Gpa and Jo. Zack is great for entertaining. We also ate pizza and watched Halloween movies.
