Owen Gets a Brother

So its been awhile. I've been a homebody slug for a long while and now and poor Owen hasn't had any adventures. He was handmade and gifted to me.

But last Thursday Owen did get a brother. Yeaaah

This is Ignatius, Iggy for short.

And hopefully I'll stop being such a stick in the mud and Owen and Iggy will start having lots of adventures.

Owen Rocks It with Fifth Density and Vivicide

Poor Owen, I'm so old and boring that he doesn't get out much. But last night he went to the debut and CD release show of my son Derek's band Fifth Density. My son Kevin's band Vivicide also played. Owen got a chance to jump up on stage and rock with both bands

Owen at Vivicide's CD Release Show

Owen and I are very proud of my son's band Vivicide. Last night was the release of their first CD and they had an awesome CD release show. Of course, Owen had to jump onstage and rock with the band.

This is a really cool step that one of the members made. You can't tell from the pic, but it is lit up.

Owen Rocks Out With Vivicide

It was a road trip for Owen yesterday (4/27). His favorite band Vivicide did a show up in Prescott again, and Owen just had to go.

Here Owen is getting ready to head out. He can't believe that its 93 in Phoenix. He's looking forward to the cooler weather in Prescott
