Family Weekend

On Friday, Bryan and I went out on a date for the first time in a LONG time. We went to Dave Matthews and Lita and Owen hung out at home. Owen REALLY wanted to go on the date with us but sadly was made to stay home. On Saturday, Leigh and Adam came over and brought Rock Band. I don't know how Owen slept through it later that night, but the McAfee/Hulshof/Rodrigue band was AWESOME! The band:

Bryan on drums. Every so often you could catch a glimpse of him and I swear he thought he was really on stage.


Adam on guitar/bass. Again with the delusions of actually being a rock star.


Leigh on guitar/bass. Serious yet oh so good. I think she may have practiced a bit.


Steph on vocals. Mostly because I wasn't skilled enough to do the others and it had NOTHING to do with having too many cocktails. I do remember hearing things like "voice of an angel" and "is that Amy Winehouse?".


And finally, a self portrait by Owen the camera man.


We didn't get a picture but Mimi took to the guitar like you wouldn't believe. I think she felt like she was back at a John Denver concert with Popi asking him why the smoke smelled so funny :)

Popi wasn't as inclined to be in the band but he and Owen did have a showdown in the backyard on the soccer field.


Popi seemed to be REALLY excited about blocking a shot kicked by a four year old.


And a picture of Num Nums (her new name) snuggling with Diego. Owen took the picture and totally staged it but when are kittens ever not cute????


AND, I just booked our tickets to LA for October. Bryan's going for work and Owen and I are coming along to go to Legoland and Disney. Can't wait!!!

In all great rock bands isn't the singer the crazy one and lead guitarist the calm, collected one (like David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen)? I'm just reserved to balance out your "stage presence".
