Unconventional Fun: AKA My Boy In A Fairy Costume

Childhood is such unconventional fun. One moment you are dressed as a fairy playing in a magical land. Next you are off somewhere battling transformers.

Sometimes you are playing with Transformers dressed as a fairy.

8 years old

Here's Future Bam holding his baby brother (Picasso) back in 2004 when he was barely 3 years old. Oh my gosh I thought he was so grown up then. :(


And, now, NOW he really IS growing up. Here's Future Bam on his 8th birthday a few days ago. (I really think I need to give him a new more appropriate nickname like Einstein or maybe mini Cousteau.)

8th Birthday

Can someone please figure out how to stop time?

Always With Me, Always With You

* An update: the video is now working.

There is a song that reminds me of my childhood so much that when I listen to it I am completely overwhelmed by emotion. When you hear the song I think you will know what I mean. If you don't feel anything or aren't inspired by it then there's no hope for you. It's also possible you are an alien ;) [Geez, it's a joke].

This song came out when I was 11 years old. It wasn't wildly popular at the time but it is a classic love song. More than likely, for you to have listened to it as a child repeatedly you probably had a musician in your family. In my case, my Dad played guitar. We used to listen to this song over and over again. This song has stuck with me over the years, and has remained "that" song that I'll never forget and I wanted to share it with you.

And now for the song you've all been patiently waiting for or maybe not-so-patiently waiting for but more like shut up already and tell us the dang song.

For all of you reading today or any day...I hope this song inspires you as it does me.

Always With Me, Always With You (the live version)

P.S. I'd love to see one or both of my boys play this song one day. Can you tell I'm rooting for them to be musicians AND rocket scientists? Actually I just want them to be inspired, to dream, to never give up, and to believe that anything is possible.
