Knox-Vegas Night Life

Night Life? What? What is that after kids?? :-)
Friday night I was sitting here watching TV with Tim and Kainaan...yeah, that's the "night life" I am used to. LOL! Anyways, my friend, Karissa, text messaged me and asked if I wanted to go with her to a bar downtown and watch a local band play. Ummmmm???? I have never been the band-watching type (I used to be the dance club type), so I was a little apprehensive. Not to mention, I have never been out in Knoxville, so I didn't know what to expect...and I had never heard of the band...but Tim (being the cool hubby that he is) told me that I should go hang out with my friend and that I might like it. Well, he was right...
It was GREAT! We got there at like 930 and listened to a band that we were not there to see, but then at 1115, our band went on...their name is Vertigo. Its 3 guys and 1 girl singer, they are from Knoxville, and they ROCKED!!!! They are pretty damn good, because they travel around a lot playing in local bars. They have 2 CD's out. Karissa bought one of them, and we listened to it on the way home. Its awesome! So yep, I am the newest fan of Vertigo and look forward to seeing them again. And maybe next time, my hubby can come with me!
Since Karissa brought her camera, we were able to take some pics of our ROCKIN' night!
PS- We were very good girls, too! She is only 20 and can't drink, and I only had 2 beers the entire time, because getting wasted is not exactly my thing anymore and I was driving! We were back at my house at 1 AM...safe and sound! It was a clean, low-key, drama free goodtime! :-)


Yeah, not the most flattering smile...its never pretty when you laugh and smile at the same time...it makes that whole double chin thing come out! Ugh!




I love her hair color! Dark red, with black streaks in the front...I might have to try that! :-)
(Tim said he thinks it would look HOT!) LOL!






She ROCKED!




Their website is: www.soundsofvertigo.com
Their music plays on it and you can see pics of the band. The singer, Lindsey, and the drummer, and brother and sister. And we were under the impression that the man and woman standing next to us was their Mom (and maybe the Dad or mananger or something) watching them! COOL!!! That could be me and Tim one day with Kainaan if he wants to start a band! I would be his biggest fan and be at all of his shows...no matter what kind of music it would be. :-)

Jumpin' Jack Flash

Friday afternoon Kainaan and I had to get out of the house and burn off some energy...so we went to the Bounce House. As always, he had a blast!
Enjoy the pics!

Where did he go?


My little spider-monkey!


He loves this place!


Pure enjoyment!


Weeeeeeee!!!!!


Here he comes! Tackle the 72 foot screamer slide!


Mr. Fearless


Snacktime!


Peek-A-Boo! There he is!


He loves the ball pit!


Talking to Daddy. He was telling him what all he was doing at the Bounce Place, and that he was getting hungry. So we left and met up with Daddy to go eat!

Splish Splash Fun

This afternoon Hunter and Alison came over so the boys could play out back and swim. Our neighbors bought a bigger pool with a pump, so they gave us their old one from last year. They have a little girl so that explains the purplish/pink color...but who cares, Kainaan loves it! And now, so does Hunter! Enjoy the pics!





My little chemist??


Nope, my little "up-to-no-good" boy!


Hunter didn't mind...thankfully! Because Kainaan wouldn't stop!


Yeah, your smile is cute, but I am your Mom and I know you are up to good! :-)


Hunter is just a tad bit waterlogged!


Kainaan thinks its hilarious to dump water on Hunter...wait until next year, Hunter will be big enough to get him back! :-)




Finally, he dumps water on himself!


But that wasn't as fun...so he got Hunter...AGAIN!






I have no idea why my child thought he needed to strip down to his birthday suit to eat...I guess he didn't like sitting on a cold, wet suit...I can't say I blame him.


He thought he needed to cut Hunter's hot dog...he tries to help out every now and again.

Putt-Putt Golfin' & Go Cartin' Too!

Tonight was a first for us, we took Kainaan to play putt-putt golf with TJ and Karissa. We were not sure how smooth it would go, but Kainaan was a good boy! He even went all day in big boy underwear with NO accidents! What?!? Anyways, we had a blast! Then we decided to ride the go carts. Can you believe our little string bean was tall enough to ride!? He is 41 inches tall and the passenger had to be 40 inches or higher! He's my tall, skinny mini! Anyways, enjoy the pictures!

He has the right idea...the ball has to go into the cup.


He tried...


And tried...


Then he decided, "To hell with this, I'll use my hand to push it in!" Can't say I blame him!


Karissa got the 1st hole-in-one! Then we teased her because she looked like she was saying 'Loser" with her fingers instead of "1." LOL! :-)


Okay TJ, are you "helping" or messin' around!?!?


Oh yeah, there I am!


Obviously the ball didn't go where I wanted it to go! And why didn't someone tell me that making that face makes my face look FAT!? :-)


Tim made the next and last hole-in-one!


Yep, he's over 40 inches! He can ride the go carts! (The mark is behind his head.)


TJ's got his game face on!


Karissa is ready!


There's my guys! All buckled in and ready to zoom zoom!


Tim said he giggled the entire time!


He loves street bikes! Sorry bud, you can't have one yet!


Your cousin, Dillon, would love this ride! He LOVES elephants!


My sharp shooter/hunter in training!


Are you dizzy yet!?!?


He boogied down on the dancing game!
