To be 13 again...

Mommy had a girls night out last night and was able to see a band that she was "like totally in love with, like totally" for much of her pre-teen and teen years. Yes, I went to a New Kids on the Block Concert last night at the Phone Booth in DC. I was pleasantly surprised with the show and had a great time with JM and SM. The lights went down and we were 13 again. It was hilarious to see women my age and older screaming and singing along to the old stuff. They did play stuff from their new album, which btw isn't terrible, but the old stuff just brought back great memories. I still remember my father dropping me off at the Festhalle in downtown Frankfurt, Germany for my first, second, and yes third NKOTB concert.

Our seats were nice - 25 rows from the stage (yes, it's amazing how having a job that pays more than 3 bucks an hour (minimum wage when I was a kid) can buy you good seats. We had a wild surprise when about half way through the show we were about 30 feet from the "kids" as they performed a couple of songs on a raised stage with a piano. We sang along to the old school and new school of the Block... and marveled/admired the "Grown Men" before us on stage. They grew up quite nicely :) Video to come soon if I can figure out how to upload it in correct format :) Love camera phones.

Here's Joey crooning "Please Don't Go Girl"








Here's Jordan and Donnie singing "I'll Be Loving You Forever". Note how close we are! :)














Here's something from You Tube (not my recording)

Busy couple of Weeks

Its been pretty busy round the HT house.

Mrs HT is working on this year's BIG project. A good friend at work had a close brush with the big C which hopefully is working itself out.

I went to the Skins and Aints with JEM another Saints fan courtesy of one of guys that works for me. Very good seats very ugly game. Saints Lost 29 -24. Even if the Saints would have won it still would have been terrible. Pretty Lousy weekend for my fandom. Saints, WVU and FFC all lost.

My soccer season has started for the fall but I have not had a chance to play yet. Said football game and vacation but I will be up for the rest of the season hopefully we can make the playoffs again this year as we got relegated last season.

Good news thou

So the whole team went on Vacation to the beach. Pictures included.


We went to Great Gert's House and relaxed with limited interruption of work. My mom made the trip down to the beach to see her grandson. He promptly dubbed her Oma which is what he calls Mrs. HTs mom so all the grandmas are Oma. Much easier than remembering more than one thing for him I am sure. They worked on art projects and had lots of fun at the beach and the playground.



We also made the trip up to NYC to see KVR and Family.


Surprise!

no the Team does not have a new addition. That is IAR and he is the new addition to KVR's family.


oh the the wee man got a new shiny gadget. which ought to be entertaining for future posts.



And i am adding this one because I think it is a cool picture.

New Pics!

You talkin' to me? You wanna start something -- c'mon BRING IT!




Coloring is way cool! And blue crayons taste the best :)




I LOVE to read books. Especially if they have trucks, trains, or anything that moves really! I can say moo, woof, meow, and tweet really well!
