Lilith!!!!!!!!

For Christmas I was going to get my bestie tickets to see Circ De Soliel, but when we heard that Sarah McLachlan was going to start performing again after a way-too-long sabatical, we hands-down chose Lilith! I had never been to Lilith so had no idea what it would be like and was a bit nervous about leaving Gabby for 12 hours since she still is an avid nurser.

Chandra and I headed to the The Gorge (the venue hosting Lilith) around 1pm and arrived around 245pm. Let me tell you, the Gorge Ampitheatre is breathtaking; it an 25000-seat concert venue located above the Columbia River Gorge in George, Washington. It was a beautiful sunny day with a perfect cooling breeze.

The Gorge

There were a couple of smaller stages set up for some of the earlier performers; we paticularly enjoyed A Fine Frenzy http://www.afinefrenzy.com/, who apparently is from Seattle.

After the smaller performances were over, we went down to find our seats at the main stage and were delighted to be bumped up to the middle column, row 14. The show was spectacular; especially Colbie Calliat and Sugarland (this performance blew me away- I will be buying tickets to see them in the future) and of course Sarah-who performance was just too short for Chandra and I (only 45min). We danced and sang and had a great time celebrating being a woman!

Colbie Calliat- so good live!

Erykah Badu- this chick was probably a little too "political" for me, but I enjoyed dancing to her beat and her bluesy voice was awesome!

Sugarland- I LOVED this performance, she was amazing!!! (I even think Chandra, who hates country music, got into it.)

Lovin' it!

Sarah!!!!!!!! Amazing as usual!

Funny Things my Kids Say

Eph: When we both grow up and live next to eachother maybe when your mother (wife) leaves and my mother (wife) leaves I can sneak up and go to your house and we can play. Clay: Adults don't play and it's not your mom it's your wife.
Mom: Ouch, my foot is really hurting! Kai: You're still alive Momma.
Kai and I were going back and forth with the,"I love you to the moon, I love you to the sun, etc." I said, "I love you to Venus" and Kai responded, "I love you to the penis"...LOL!
Clay: Ephraim, why do you always copy me? Ephraim: Because I love ya.
Kai was playing with his train the other day and I overheard him saying, "You can do it Thomas" and of course I was thinking Thomas the kid's engine, and then I heard him say, " You can do it, Thomas Monson"...LOL!
Kai always sleeps in my bed. One day I asked him why he didn't like his bed and he said,"It's too fluffy."
Whenever asked any question from "What is your name?" to "What do you want to do today?", Kai always responds with "Quesadilla".
Kai spent a couple months calling everyone "boob-butt" (boob was taken from the recent Horton Hears a Who movie).
When Kai wants to be picked up he says, "Grab me".
All my boys sing the song Paradise City by Guns N' Roses...embarassing.
When you ask Kai his name he says "Coc-head"- he means coconut head.
In between Conference sessions they played the movie "The Other side of Heaven" and during the scene where the rats are chewing on his feet Kai yells, "Wake up Dude!"
Ephraim says' That's ridiculous!"
When I ask Kai anything he shakes his head violently and says, "No-no!"
Clay told me that he was making funny faces in his class and that the girls were laughing. I asked him if the boys laughed too; he said, "no, they got mad". He told me he likes girls better then boys because they're "pretty". Oh boy!
Clay had some food stuck in his throat and I told him to drink some water to wash it down. He said, "I think I need to use a screw to get it out"- OUCH!
I told Clay that if he ate all his veggies he would be big and strong like his daddy. He said, " Well, that's not strong enough".
Clay turned to me after a meal and said, "Thanks for making dinner Mom". Then he turned to Jon and said, "Thanks, Dad". Jon responded a bit surprised, "What for, I didn't do anything?" Clay replied, "For working". WOW!
Josh came over and was checking out our pear tree in the front yard and Clay put his face up real close to him and said, "Jesus made the pears, Uncle Josh." Josh said he felt like he was in church! HA HA
Clay was being a stinker and I told him to "please be more obedient Clayton Ryan" and he responded, "I'm not Clayton I'm Nephi" and my mom told him that Nephi would be obedient to his parents. So, after some thought he replied, "Oh, I'm not Nephi".
When they don't like a food the boys say its too "spicy".
When something is too hard for the boys to do they say its too "heavy".
My boys both say, "I don't want that ever ever again, so there!"
Clay informed me the other day that he also liked Momma's milk (like baby Kai). I told him that he drank cow's milk like Mommy and Daddy and after a moments thought he said "No, I just drink seahorse milk!"
