Happy Birthday Mama!

My mother celebrated her birthday this past week! She is sooooo old!!! For her birthday my sister and I took her and our kids to Color Me Mine. There she picked out a pitcher and her and the kids painted it. It was a lot of fun and I think that she really enjoyed herself. Later that night we met up with the whole fam (we missed you Em and boise banks crew!) at the Training Table for a birthday dinner. I think the best part was my dad's gift to her!!! A green cruiser bike! it is soo cute and I totally want a pink one, but I just can't stop laughing when I see her ride it. I instantly think of the wicked witch of the west!! dada da dada dada dadadaadaadaaaaaaaaaaaaa (you know what song I am talking about!)

A little music history!

My Best Friend: Well this is just our song. We love it, we danced to it at our wedding and whenever I hear it I think of our wedding day and all of our wonderful memories that we share together.

Fidelity: I just love this song for some reason. My mom and sister just laugh at me while I sing it. because I just belt it out. It's fun!

Mr. Brightside: Matt and I are huge Killers fans. Love them!!! When Madi was a baby we would dance with her in our kitchen almost every morning to this song. She would stand there and just bounce and giggle and dance along with us. We would also have my niece and nephew over and have huge dance parties. The neighbors probablly thought we were crazy but it was so much fun!!

New Kids on The Block: Ok what girl my age didn't like The New Kids on The Block!! Oh Joey was so hot!! They were the first concert that I ever went to, and Matthew just informed me the other day that they were getting back together! Go NKOTB!

Jame Taylor: I love this song. Whenever I hear it I just laugh my head off. On our honeymoon Matt and I were sitting on the Kareokee floor of our ship and everyone was singing and watching. I begged Matt to sing me a song. Of all of the love and romantic songs out there he chose this one. Everyone was laughing and singing along. The crowd loved him!!! But not as much as me.

Moldy Peaches: Have you seen Juno? Ok I'll admit some parts are kind of naughty (to say the least) But what a hilarious show. There was all sorts of funky music in that show but Matt and I had this song stuck in our head for days after seeing the movie.

Let it Be Me: This was our first song that we danced to as husband and wife. This was also my mom and dad's first dance on their wedding day. So I love it. My brother Mike tried to sing it for us, we was doing great and then in the middle of the verse he yelled out everybody now!! We laughed and still do laugh about it. What an excellent memory!

Ghetto Superstar: Well have you ever seen the movie Superstar? My brother-in-law once told me that I was such a geek like the girl on Superstar so for like three years after that I would claim that I was a superstar. Kind of weird but then for some reason Matt and I just liked this song.

See you again: We had to put a song on here for Miss Madi. She loves Hannah Montanna she loves to sing to it and dance to it, and we just love to watch her!
