A little music review: The Ting Tings...

I was fortunate enought to drive to Manti then Provo then Gunnison and then home all in one day. You can imagine the time I had on my hands to listen to the radio or the one cd I had with me since I forgot my ipod adapter...so after many many times around I decided I would share my latest music purchase...The Ting Tings We Started Nothing. You may remember a little ditty "Shut up and let me go" featured on an ipod commercial. When I heard it I remember liking the song: its fun and has a great beat. (The fact that they are headed by a female vocalist definately helps) Then I saw the music video, and I was in LOVE. I am fascinated by music videos and this one was beautiful. FUN. COLORFUL. 80s RETRO. BEAUTIFUL. So I purchased the album and was not dissapointed. I will say that I have a top three for the songs on this album and they go like this

1. Great DJ

2. Thats not my name

3. Shut up and let me go

this is a fun album that I did not tire of after 6 hours of driving in one day and then some. That's not my name is reminiscent of a bratty teen girl and I could swear the intro of Shut up and let me go sounds like Franz Ferdinand...but that is good. I rate it 4 out of 5 because (a) at only 10 songs I felt I need a little more. I think you can buy if from itunes for only $7.99. Definitely worth the purchase! See the video and listen here.

Once upon a time we went to Bear Lake

We played in the water

Owen loved grandma Cyndee's froggies.

He played with the froggies in the sandhe ate the froggies
We ALL went to LaBeau's in our matching shirts...Hanson, with an "O"
Owen chilled with Parker
Daddy and Owen played in the water some more
Owen and Avery shared

he loved grandma's tent, but was NOT about to take a nap in it.
And he said, "I want Maya to hold me." At least that is what she told me.
And we said THANKS A MILLION Brian, Brook, Ian and Brianne for being so great!

We love bear lake...I think for different reasons....Steve Golf's Morning and Afternoon so I'm no sure why he likes it....It is a fun annual tradition with the Hanson clan. We play at the beach all day long, eating treats, making crafts, reading mags, and listening to Scotty's Jimmy. By night we must have milk shakes from LaBeau's, play games by the fire and visit on the deck. Great times and to make even more memorable this year Owen was there for his very first of many more trips to come!
