Trivia

Just wanted to see if anyone is able to answer this one. I'm SURE if you're late 20's and older you MIGHT know.

Ok, if you look at my side bar on the right, pause the song playing in my pink playlist. Then, go to the top where it says video bar and click on the top video. A video will open and you will have the option to close it by clicking "i'm done watching this".

Now that you're watching the video, see if you can name the gentleman in the whacky jacket playing the bass guitar. I had forgotten he played with them! NO looking it up, try to guess by looking at him! DON'T LOOK AT THE COMMENTS BEFORE YOU GUESS, the answer might be there!

Yeah yeah yeah, I know I'm an 80's music geek, leave me alone and play along!! Have a great day. P.S. This song was released in 1986!! ENJOY THE SONG!! :)

Yeah, I KNOW I'm way behind on blogging but that's ok. I just chose some of my favorite summer pictures to share then I can start posting back-to-school...and other goodies!

If I already posted some of these please forgive me. I don't have the greatest memory lately. From time to time (before Ethan) I would forget things here and there. Since he was born I feel like I NEVER remember anything, even when someone tells me again and again. EVEN IF I WRITE IT DOWN! UGH! I'm totally not exaggerating. Is it the 4th child, or is it being 35???? Becky and Adam should be able to answer the age question! ;) OOPS, did I just give their age away??

OK, I found tooooo many pictures I wanted to share so I will post some more after this....so THIS one will actually be the 2nd one you're reading, sorry!

Pictures from the Concert!

I finally had some free moments to get some of these pictures and a video uploaded. (It's easier when there are 2 less children in the house). Sorry, the video isn't the best quality. As you can imagine it was deafening at the concert :) I decided on this video because you can briefly see Noah in it!

When we were walking around and eating and waiting for the concert to start, a local radio station had a group gathered around so we decided to go over and see what was up. Well, they were letting fans come up and spin a wheel and then they had to do what it said, sing a Backstreet Boys song, dance, answer a trivia question about a band member, etc. Well one girl was up and she was asked, 'When is A.J.'s birthday?'. She said, "OH UMM Marrrch...ummm...", then all of a sudden we all hear this voice directly behind us yell out "A.J.'S BIRTHDAY?! MARCH 16TH!". Of course, all of us turn around and it was BRIAN from the BSB! He was up on a car or something on the other side of the stockade fence behind us. I pointed for Noah because he couldn't quite see him...Noah's jaw hit the ground! He was so excited....Brian was within about 20 feet of us! He could NOT stop chattering for the next half hour before the concert started about how HE SAW BRIAN! For those of you who are not familiar with the BSB, (and who wouldn't be :P), I found a photo of Brian with his son...how cute!

Noah was SO adorable and he totally loved it! I'm glad I took him, it will be a great memory for us! Amazingly, he wasn't the youngest one there...there were a TON of little kids his age, some younger!










In case you care :P, the song playing when you first come to my blog, is the un-muffled version of the song on this video...
