My favorite passtime

I (Avery) have rediscovered my favorite passion in my life- going to see live music! A couple months ago I went to an Indigo Girls concert in SLC with my best cousin and friend Jasmine. I loved it so much and I was amazed at how good I felt just being there. I love being in the crowd of people I don't know who look and dress very different from what I'm used to seeing everyday. Last week I went to see Brandi Carlile and it was equally great. I just stand there and marvel at how talented she is and what an amazing voice she has. And thanks to my great sis in law Lataun for making my whole trip possible by watching my kids and letting me feel 18 again! I owe you big- so thanks.






Brandi Carlile- Beauiful voice, beautiful person- I highly reccomend her music to anyone.
Jasmine and I- she is my favorite person in the whole world- besides Faren of course- I hope to someday live next door to her and her husband Kevin and spend every day together! Ok, maybe that's too much of a good thing...

We were so close to the stage, which made it even better.


Here's my update on Simon. We went 4 wheeling on Saturday with some friends and Simon did a face plant down their ramp which had the texture of a cheese grater. He cried for about 30 sec., then he kept trying to do it again. This kid will be lucky to get through life with all his limbs.



The morning after the fall, Simon fell off the bathroom counter and cut his chin open. I guess this picture of him eating his sticky pancakes and syrup doesn't make him look any better either. We decided not to take him to church that day so we could avoid anyone calling CPS.
(Dear reader, please don't call CPS on us!)

oh my goodness...that kid is just a wreck waiting to happen...don't worry, if anyone calls the CPS, I got your back.

I already called CPS. JK. I wouldn't want them to know about my underweight daughter anyway.

I think I need to dedicate a whole paragraph to how shocking Simons face is. I thought he just had jello on his face at first, then I read and gasped apropriately. But he looks like a fighter. No wussies in the Eddins family.

Avery you should write a song and be on Americas Got Talent. They are having auditions! Did you see those Mormon cloggers? That could be you, but with a guitar.


p.s. very jealous about the Carlise concert... but I wouldn't even know about her if it wasn't for you
