Bonfire

A few of my favorite things right now.

1) Tuesday night dinners with friends.
I know I've mentioned how we've been doing this for the past 3 or 4 months, but every week I look forward to just hanging out with our good friends and eating and enjoying eachothers company.

2) Bonfires and Firepits.
Last week at our dinner we grilled hotdogs and then used Laura and Jeff's fire pit and had a bonfire with s'mores. It was great. I love this time of year.

3) Cirque du Soliel. We went with some friends last Thursday and saw Allegria. It was amazing. One of the coolest things I've seen. If you've never seen a Cirque du Soliel perfermance, it's totally worth the cost.

Slackline

For Christmas I got Zach a slackline kit. If you haven't heard of slacklining, you can read more about it here. But basically it's a thick strap that connects two trees and you can balence on it and do fun trick eventually. We set it up in our front yard a few weeks back and had fun experimenting with it. One of our trees was to thick so we'll have to find a better place to set it up to get the full effect. But it was fun none-the-less!

Good times had by all.

Family Visits KC!

This is going to be a long post so watch out. In March, most of my family came and visited Kansas City and we spent the weekend doing fun stuff around the city. The main thing that encouraged the visit was the Copeland farewell concert in Lawrence. Which turned out to be a great way to get to know my younger sister's new boyfriend, Koji. He's been really great for Erin. He's from France originally and has lived in the states with his parents for the last 3 years. He's going to start college at Webster in the fall and i just a great kid all around.

Us with Ace Enders from I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business

We really enjoyed the show. My favorite as I knew it would be was Ace Enders. This guy is a genious. And looks a little like Michael Cera...

The next day my older sister and her bf and my niece, my cousin Carrie and her kids and all of us met out at the Plaza and had lunch and just goofed around like we typically do.

 

 

 

     

Later that night we headed to T-Rex Restaurant and had a yummy dinner. Their food is so greasy and delicious.

 

The next we visited the Nelson Atkins and had a FREAK snow storm. That night we played some fun games at my cousin's and then drove back to our house and ended the weekend with a car accident. Everyone is okay, and my mom now has a new car out of the whole situation, which she loves. But it definitly made me hate winters in Kansas City even more!

So sad... but so EXCITED!

With much sadness one of my favorite band's will be saying goodbye..... (moment of silence).....but not without an awesome farewell concert!

Copeland will be performing some of their songs from almost every album and not only that, they will be joined by 2 other of my favorite bands! I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business (which is Ace Enders - the lead singer of The Early November's side project) and Deas Vail. They are also playing with  Person L, who I've never heard of, but must be equally as good to be playing with all those fabulous people.

Read more about it here.

Yes, please be excited with me!!!

Christmas for a Cure 2009

Rosatti's Pizza

So in July, a group of us girls went to Chicago for a fun bachelorette weekend. One night we waited close to 3 hours for the famous Girodano's pizza. And it was totally worth the wait. I swear I have been craving it ever since.

Well, last night we discovered that Kansas City has a substitute for that amazing pizza. Rosati's. Absolutley delicious.

Chicago Deep Dish = Amazing in my mouth!

Try it, you will see!
