The Nordfelt's

Katelin and her fellow first graders sang away to celebrate our country last evening. It was so cute. My parents and Reba came down and we enjoyed the evening together. Katelin was very nervous to do her part, but did a great job. We bribed her with $10 to say it in a British accent, but she didn't dare. Maybe next year. My favorite part was when the kids started screaming "FIFTY NIFTY UNITED STATES...". Katelin had a big smile on her face because this is her favorite song. (Everyone else in the house knows it by now.) Very cute program. Katelin and some friends (I totally stole this picture from Katie Tucker. Thanks!) My daughter is SO serious

Last weekend I went to the best concert EVER! GARTH BROOKS! My mother-in-law got hooked up with 5th row seats in the small theatre at the Encore in Vegas. Before we got there, Kirtly and Gay took us to the Wynn buffet where we stuffed ourselves with fancy food. I even had crab legs. The buffalo pasta was avoided, however. When Garth came on stage, my sister-in-law Keysha and myself started laughing because he looked straight off the farm in his wal-mart jeans, boots, ball cap, and plan blue hooded sweatshirt. He made me feel like I was his friend. All that was on stage with him was a backless stool and a water bottle. Half the songs he sang weren't his own. He told the story of what music influenced his own style during the 60's and 70's. Then he would play those songs. I wish he would record all those James Taylor and Simon & Garfunkel songs because he sang them better! Trisha Yearwood came on in the middle of it and they sang their duet. She also sang "S...

Last week I was down with a huge migrain/tension headache. Now, for those of you who have never had one I know what you are thinking. "Big deal!" well let me tell you... I was in bed for the first three days because I couldn't move or I would puke and finally went to the Dr. and got some medicine that made my headaches a little better and made me feel dizzy and I didn't dare drive. But oh I slept good! Well, now I am on the upswing, 10 days later and happy to report that I am feeling better! I wanted to do a cartwheel in the street yesterday because I felt so good! Nothing is better then feeling better after feeling horrible! Actually there is something better-here is this little guy hiding in the corner, mocking me, as I try to get him to lie down so I can change his diaper. He always puts a smile on my face.

I love to take pictures. It bugs Kanyon sometimes. Here it was bugging him a lot. I get Kanyon out of the tub and wrap him up like a burrito. Then he puckers up and wants a kiss from mama. Then he giggles. He does this every time we get out of the tub. One of my favorite small moments from the day. Then I get the camera so I can capture this moment because he won't do it forever. Here is saying, "Cheese!!" Katelin always takes pictures of herself. She has mastered the art of bubble blowing. Here are the kids "clearing" the kitchen table. Kanyon dances along while they make their sad attempt. Sometimes I feel that tomorrow I will wake up and they will be grown and not want their mama. I want to cherish this age forever.
