New Jersey 2008!!!

We are jetlagged and exhausted! We arrived back in Utah this morning after waking at 4am to catch our flight from Philly. "We" is Deb, Sadie and I. Elijah and Hannah will remain in New Jersey through August with their family and friends.

We had a blast with everyone as we reconnected with tons of people and our schedules were packed with event after event.

As usual with these kinds of things, the story is best told through pictures so click here for the story!!

Pat Benetar LIVE!!!

Last night I took Elijah to his first ever concert. No, it wasn't Pat Benetar. That would have been too lame. No, we decided to go from zero to sixty in four seconds on this one. So...last night Elijah and I sat in Energy Solutions Arena and watched DOKKEN and POISON rock Salt Lake City.

For weeks beforehand, I contemplated whether to get Elijah earplugs or eyepatches....or both. Turns out it was not that bad a visual experience for an eight year old. Just some boobs, a few ass cheeks and a whole lotta 40-something rockers. The earplugs came in handy and he wore them all night. He loved it and got some hi-5's from some folks throughout the night paying tribute to the "little man rocker." He got a $40 t-shirt and a wristband that he hasn't taken off since. A rocker is born.

Speaking of rockers being born....we have another budding rocker in the family....sit back and enjoy.....
