Jeremy Camp & Natalie Grant Concert...

It's very rare that Brandon and I ever go to concerts, but it just so happens we have been to two in the past two months. I guess that's what happens when your favorite singers/bands come to town within weeks of each other. Last night was the Jeremy Camp, Natalie Grant and Bebo Norman concert. They are all awesome Christian bands if anyone is into Contemporary Christian music. Anyway, the concert Rocked literally, it was so much fun and we definitely got our money's worth since it lasted over 3 hours! O yea, and did I mention thanks to some Friends of ours we got to sit in the forth row!!!! Here are a few pics from the night.Here is Bebo Norman. Wow, he has an awesome voice. And here is my favorite female Christian singer Natalie Grant. She has such a powerful voice it gave me goose pimples!Isn't she gorgeous?And last, but definitely not least, Jeremy Camp. Brandon and I have been fans of his forever and have been waiting for him to come in concert here. Words can't even express how great of a singer he is. We love you Jeremy!

Give them an Inch and they take a Mile...

So you know those crazy sayings your parents always said that you swore you never would never say? Well this is one of them my mom always said to me and my sister, "I give you an inch and you take a mile!" I know kind of corny, but very true. A couple months back Brandon and I converted our front bonus room into a play room for Owen. It has two huge game sack chairs, a TV, and tons of toys, books and room to run around. We figured it would control the mess of toys being dragged all over the house and keep them in one confined area. Well, here is how it is working...Here is his huge beautiful room we created for him.

And here is what's supposed to be my entryway that is supposed to be nice and clean and toy free. Yeah right! He still drags his toys all over the house.

Making Daddy Proud!

Brandon and I have always said that we will support our kids in whatever they want to do and not push them to do something we want them to do. Well, deep down inside I know Brandon is hoping and praying that Owen will become the crazy sports fanatic that he is and take to Brandon's love of Football and Baseball. Lately, Owen has become quite fond of his little football. He carries it all over the house and loves to throw it back and forth with mommy all day long. We are thinking he may even be left handed, he always throws the ball with his left hand. Guess we will have to wait and see...

Owen in the Laundry Basket

The other day was Laundry day in the Burgess Household. Lots to catch up on since we were out of town for a few days. Well anyway, I ran upstairs to put away a load of laundry and came down to find Owen inside Brandon's Laundry basket. He was so proud of himself for getting in there but quickly realized he had no clue how to get out. He cracks me up!"Hey Mommy, Look what I did!"So happy!Realizing he is not sure how to get out of the mess he got himself into!

Pueblo, CO

Although our trip to Pueblo, CO was on very sad terms, sometimes good times come along with the bad. The reasons for being their were very unfortunate but Brandon was able to have a mini reunion with all his old college buddies. It was fun to see a side of Brandon I never knew existed! Here are some pictures from the two nights we were able to kick back, relax and have a few drinks with some old friends. The Boys Having a good time.

Trick or Treating with Pampo & Nana

Unfortunately, Brandon and I had to go out of town for a funeral this past weekend up in Colorado, and yes, it was Halloween. Luckily Owen still doesn't get the concept of Halloween yet so he wasn't too disappointed. Brandon's good friend growing up and old college roommate lost his parents a couple weeks ago in a small plane crash. Brandon was very close to them and has always considered them his 2nd parents. It was so sad to see such wonderful, caring, healthy people go, but we just have to rely on the fact that God has a perfect plan for all of us even though we may not understand it. Well it was a long weekend for Brandon and I, sad and exhausting, but it was so nice to be there and help his friend through this very difficult chapter of his life. This was also the first time we have ever left Owen for longer than 23 hours. It was rough on us but we knew he was in good hands. My parents came and stayed with Owen for the 3 days we were gone. Owen had a blast and I am convinced he didn't even know we were gone. Here is a slide show of pic's from Owen's first time Trick or Treating. He was so shocked that people were filling up his little Halloween bag with tons of candy! We have discovered that he loves Nerds. How Funny!
