Birthday Catchup

Alright, let's be honest with ourselves. I've been neglecting my blog. Shocking, I know. But as such I have missed several family birthday shout-outs. And today I'm going to remedy that. Buckle up buddy, this won't be short.

First, let's start with Bear.

I don't know of anyone who can make me laugh harder or longer than him. He's also the best at getting me to laugh at myself - not always the easiest task.

He's also one of the hardest workers I know,

AND he's one of the funnest people to be around. Best of both worlds.

And last but not least, he is such a cute dad to two of the cutest little girls on the planet.

And on that note, it was also Sophie's birthday. Soph is so smart - just the other day she was teaching me about photosynthesis. She's 3.

She has such a fun personality and constantly keeps us entertained.

Not to mention that she is darling. Also tanner than I am. Not hard to do, but still. I'm slightly surly about it.

And then there's Dane's birthday. He's a whopping 4 years old and about 17 times smarter than me. I wish I was joking.

He is such a cute older brother to Campbell (most of the time :) and I'm sure he'll be such a good example for his soon-to-be baby brother.

He is constantly asking questions and wanting to learn. And he's even been known to help around the house.

So I guess what we learn from this is that I have a really great family. I am so grateful for all of them and for the chance to celebrate them on their birthdays. Happy (belated) birthday Bear, Soph, and Daner! I love you all.

To my favorite man in the world:

 

 

Happy Father's Day. I love you Daddy.

#9

So, a while ago I crossed off #9 from my Boston Bucket List - I went to a concert in the House of Blues. And not any concert, mind you. I went to the Fun. concert! They just so happen to be one of my favorite bands at the moment (see here). It was hands down the best concert I've ever been to. My friend Jerr had an extra ticket and I was so happy because I had tried to get tickets but they were sold out. Not to mention that we were on the floor about 6 people deep from the stage. That was cool too.

The pictures aren't great quality, but that's what you get when you take them on a phone...

Outside the House of Blues

Jerr and I

The crowd behind us. The House of Blues was literally packed. Nate (the lead singer of Fun.) told us that we were freaking them out with how many people were there.

I loved it, sometimes he would just stand there grinning at us, acting like "Is this real life?"

Of all the concerts I could have gone to to complete my bucket list requirement, I'm not sure I could have picked a better one. Seriously, such a Fun. night :)
