I Spy Something BLUE

I spy with my little eye something.......... BLUE!!!! This year for Trunk-or-Treat, we did the BlueMan Group : ). We asked Cris' little brother Corey and our friend Joe to fill in as the other Blue men. Audrey (Joe's wife) and I were the BlueMan Groupies. I have a whole bunch of pictures so brace yourselves. We also went to a BlueMan Group concert last weekend to get ourselves all pumped up. Those pictures will be later.

We had our old TV in the trunk playing a portions of a BlueMan Group concert so people who may not know who the Blue Men are could get an idea of what they do. We also put our souvenirs, program (kissed by one of the Blue Men), and pictures from the concert we went to.

We made a really working drumbone (one of the PVC pipe instruments that the BlueMan Group uses) and the guys played a short version of one of the BlueMan Group's songs. Everyone liked it so much, that they asked them to play it inside with everyone watching. The video of that is below...

Ok, so now starts the pictures from the BlueMan Group concert. We went with Cris' brother Corey and our two good friends Joe and Audrey Anderson. We had 'poncho' seats (front row, center). Again, there are a lot of pictures so I'm just going to post them and you can get the idea. The concert was a AWESOME!!!!!

Yes, one of the Blue Men came down and stood right next to us during the concert. Here he is looking straight at Cris.

I LOVE FALL!!!

Today was the perfect Fall day!!! It was also Stake Conference weekend so we were able to be out and enjoy the weather. After Conference the whole Chick family always picnics together. Its a nice way to spend the afternoon with family and the cousins get to run around and play. Navie loves to play with Heather and Will. It means a lot to me for Navie to grow up with her cousins because I grew up pretty close to mine. I just wish we lived closer to Steve and Holly so Navie and Caprie could grow up together too.

Again, it was a beautiful day, a little windy, but still beautiful.


The last time we had a picture of all the Chicks together was at our wedding. That was 4 years ago! I think this picture is way over due : )


This evening, Navie and I decided to go outside and collect Fall leaves. She was so cute walking around, picking them up and putting them in her bucket. It was a really nice bonding moment for Navie and I. Here are just a few pictures of Navie from tonight.

And here is a short video from this evening too. I haven't posted a video in a while so this is over due too : )

Our Big Girl

Our little girl is growing up way too fast! She amazes me everyday with how much she has grown and learned. Here are just a couple of pictures taken this past week.

Cris was climbing trees in the back yard and Navie had to do it too. What a special picture I have of my two favorite people in the world : )

Navie is such a little girlie girl. She is going through a phase where she has to wear a dress everyday. For Halloween she is going to be Cinderella and it is hard to get the costume off of her after we put it on : )

We were able to get this twin bed frame for free from a member of our ward. It is in great condition!!! All we had to do was get a mattress for it. I think that I want to paint it white though. That way it will match her crib (which would be good because when we have another baby the kids will share a room). As you can see, Navie loves her big girl bed!

The mattress we ordered finally came yesterday and so last night Navie got to sleep in the big girl bed for the first time. She did great!!! I know she will love it even more when we finally get around to tie dying her bed sheets. We want to tie dye them pink and yellow : )
For now we are using spare sheets.

And even though Navie is a big girl, there are still moments when she looks like a little baby. I love our "little" big girl : )
