Brandon Flowers

I am a big fan of the musical group The Killers. Brandon Flowers is the lead singer and this year he put out a solo album and went on tour. I decided we needed to go so I bought some tickets. Quinn likes them, but isn't the fan that I am. We met up with the Oswald's and their friends the Waite's and went to dinner first.

The concert was at the Depot, which is a smaller venue. I was pretty excited about that because when Quinn and I usually go to a concert we are near the back row of whatever arena we are at. We had heard the concert was only about an hour and we also were under the impression that there wasn't an opening act. We were there by 8:00 (when it was suppose to start) and waited til 8:30 for it to begin.


Here we are waiting for it to start. Aren't we cute? I was so excited.


Katrina Waite, McKinley Oswald and Brian Waite. I think they were excited too, but not as excited as I was.

Poor Andrea had no where to sit. That is a long time to stand when you are 7 months pregnant.

At 8:30 the show finally started, but it did not start with Brandon Flowers. We hadn't heard anything about anyone opening so it was a nice surprise when the opening act was Fran Healy who happens to be the lead singer for a band named Travis. Turns out that Travis is one of Quinn's favorite bands. It is always fun to hear stories behind the songs you already know and listen to.

Around 9:30 or so Brandon Flowers came out and did not disappoint. The show was very good. I sang along to all the songs and had a blast. Despite wanting to rush the stage I did not. I stayed where I was and enjoyed the show.


The best pic I could get.


This is a BIT blurry.


Another blurry pic.

I am so glad I bought the tickets and we went. Live concerts are a lot of fun and when it is a band/artist that you really like they are the best!

Halloween

WHO YA GONNA CALL?!?


Miles has been going through the classic monsters for Halloween for the past 4 years and he wanted to finish it off this year by being a ghost. Carter wanted to be a ghost as well. That makes it easy. For the past couple years Quinn and I have dressed up as well to go to the trunk or treating. I couldn't think of what I should dress up as to go with them. A friend of mine suggested going as a Ghostbuster and a costume idea was born!

We are going to get those little monsters! Quinn made the proton packs and I do have to say they were pretty awesome. You can't see much detail in the pictures, but there was detail. We were pretty cool.

Quinn was taking his role pretty seriously.

Baseball

We let the boys have a go at baseball/t-ball. The T was rarely used on Miles' team and Carter's team only used it here and there. They were so cute.

Carter is all decked out ready to play. His team was the Cincinnati Reds. The teams had actual MLB teams this year.
Carter hitting one out of the park. Ok, not that far. But he made contact and that is awesome!

Carter would put the helmet on top of his cap. It didn't quite fit right but he was fine with that.

When they were in the outfield Carter kept getting bored. Here he is twirling in the dirt. His arms are in position for a good spin.

Check out that handsome boy. He is so proud of his certificate. Miles was on the Indiana Braves team.

Getting ready to bat.

Good hit!

GO!

Miles did really well this year. He hasn't played for a few years so I didn't know if others would be way ahead of him, but they were all pretty much the same. I really do enjoy having them in something, but with all of our other obligations in life we only put them in something once or twice a year. Tennis might be next.
