My 3 babies

Whoops!

My blog kinda got a little neglected recently. Hopefully I can get back in the swing of things though.

Our neighbors gave my daughter a dog sweater for Toby. He’s not thrilled about it but at least it’ll keep him warm, and he does look kinda cute in it.

All healed up

Scabbing is done and now I’m pretty much healed up. I looooooove how it looks!!

The Union Suit

If you weren’t at the Summer Festival to see The Union Suit play, you really missed out. I know I say that every time they play, but seriously, I lost a pair of socks because they rocked them off. I heard someone still needs their face back.

First off, they were escorted out by freaking Storm Troopers and a Tuscan Raider!! How cool is that? I really wish I could have gotten a shot of Nolan. He was so excited to see them.

The crowd was a little bigger than you see here. Everyone started out kinda far back and then moved a little closer to the music. They had, by far, a bigger crowd than the other band that was playing after them. *brag brag*

A few black and whites:

Dan rocking Teena, Brad, Koko, and Kelly, among others

Even the Storm Troopers were rocking out a bit, though it’s hard to tell from the photo. He was using his gun (sorry, don’t know the technical term) as a guitar.

Couldn’t decide whether to post color or b&w. It’s my blog so I’ll do both.

New tattoo!!

I’ve had this really bad, unfinished looking, dragon on my back for a few years and after I got a tattoo gift certificate for my birthday, I decided to have it covered up. Here’s a before picture:

It’s been a few years since I’ve had a tattoo and I forgot how much they hurt! The outline was the worst. After that was over, the endorphins kicked in and the shading and coloring was a breeze. Well, almost.

Drawing the new tattoo:

Tattoo time!

Outline is done, finally.

The finished result. Sorry for the glare.

Thanks so much to Hank for doing such a great job. And Carrie for being my moral support and photographer!

I guess this is what little brothers are for…

My newest niece

My brother-in-law recently had a little girl who was born about 2 months early. She’s now 3 months old and soooo adorable! Here are a couple shots from today.
