Have you ever wondered......

What Guys do when they get bored? Well this is what mine does! Mike had asked me if it was ok to photo shop the picture we took with the band Daughtry because he said we looked bigger than we actually are so I said sure why not... Well 2 hours later I come up to see the fabulous picture and this is what I found.







Not exactly what I was looking for. Don't you just love the extra highlights he put in my hair? haha and I think I actually look bigger :(

Daughtry Concert

So about 4 weeks ago I won tickets on 104.3 My Fm to go see Daughtry in Concert... I'm a huge fan of American Idol so I was estatic. Two days later I was informed that I won VIP Backstage passes... Even better, right? So Mike and I went to the concert about two Wednesdays ago. I must admit I was a bit disappointed at first. We were let into out "VIP Backstage pass party" 45 minutes late and once we got in Chris was a little anti-social. At first he didn't even make eye contact with any of us and acted as if we weren't there. I was so disgusted by his behavior that I kind of wanted to leave. Thank goodness we did not because just before the sound check was over he started making jokes and talking to us.. Phew! After the sound check we were lead into a room to take a picture with him and the band. He was very sweet and just as good looking in person as he is on T.V. during the whole VIP Backstage party Mike and I met Amy and Sadie from San Diego. They were very sweet and we ended up sitting with them throughout the concert. Chris was amazing and sounds great live. He seemed way more relaxed during the concert. Overall it was a great night and I would gladly go see him again. Below are pictures of our night.

He's Speaking to me!

I have a cousin that will foward daily inspiring quotes from the bible and they usually come with a brief explanation. The quote from today really speaks to me. I am usually guilty of letting my moods get the best of me but after reading this it has insprired me to really think about my actions next time a bad mood comes along. I believe God was giving me a hint today. I hope this inspires you as well. :)

Here is the quote.

Control Your Moods

Receive instruction in wise dealing and the discipline of wise thoughtfulness, righteousness, justice, and integrity. PROVERB 1:3

Moods can bring strange impulses that we dare not heed. When we get moody, we want to do weird things, or neglect our responsibilities. "I don't feel like doing anything today. I am in a bad mood. Just leave me alone." Disciplined people submit their emotions to wisdom. They say, " These are my feelings, but I don't live by my feelings. I may have moods, but they don't dictate my actions. I am going to do exactly what I would do if I felt better." You will enjoy your day more when you discipline yourself to do what you believe, instead of what you feel.

Garrett's Birthday Party

So we celebrated Garrett's birthday on Saturday and he had a blast. In fact he didn't nap the whole day and was fine until around 8ish. He's such a trooper. I sure am glad we got the bounce house or else it would have been a nightmare. Below are a few pictures and of course we couldn't seem to get in a decent family photo. We never can! Are we the only ones with that problem?

Before the baby proofing!

This is what Garrett does when mommie is not looking. I caught him three times! I know he was only going through the plastic cooking spoons but I just wouldn't want one of the top drawers to hit him in the head. He is not very happy about it now, but one day he will thank us.

Happy 1st Birthday Garrett!

In honor of Garrett's 1st birthday Mike and I decided to take the day off and take Garrett to the L.A Zoo. It was so much fun and Garrett had a blast looking at all the cool animals. I still can't believe that my baby is already 1. Time flys way too fast but I can still remember the day he was brought into this world. Mike and I feel in love instantly. It hasn't been easy and Garrett sure knows how to keep us on our toes but every moment has been pure Joy. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for my little guy. :)
