26 years of loving music...

i thought this was a cute comparison. on the left we have me sometime in 1984 i think, about age 1 1/2, listening to my dad's awesome records (probably boston), on the right we have micah today in 2010, about age 1 1/2, listening to the radio (probably rap music, lol)

for a 26 year gap, things look pretty similar. from the wooden cabinet to the tuner to the headphones. i think the record player and the xbox definitely demonstrate the progression in technology though :)

las vegas, the second time around

about a year ago we took micah to vegas for the first time for a lame timeshare marketing ploy. i know, i know. not exactly the most kid friendly of cities to visit. but this time around, it was. i took micah with me last week. josh had to work and i needed to go to a few apparel tradeshows for work. thankfully kayla lives only 10 minutes outside of vegas, and she is so awesome that she let us stay at her house AND watched micah while i walked the tradeshows. :)

besides enduring the ridiculous heat, we also did a lot of fun stuff. went swimming, the boys played some tennis, micah got to pet kk's desert tortoise, ate some yummy mexican food, and dropped by a few casinos to inhale cigarette smoke and play some craps. micah slept in his stroller and we took turns wheeling him around the lobby of course :) the only thing missing this trip was a BUFFET!!

newport beach

every couple weeks we try to take a trip down to newport beach to visit uncle bub, uncle jonny and usually kk too :) these are a compilation of photos from a few different visits. some at the beach, some at the beach house, and some at the beach playground. all of which micah thoroughly loves :)

desert, guns, and off road vehicles. areeeee-zona trip!
