On Tuesday we went for a Family hike, it was fun, but also exhausting since we ended up carrying the kids haha specially Joshua who kept sayin “mommy Joshua’s tired”. We obviously didn’t hiked the whole thing but it was nice to get out of the house and get some exercise in. We love teaching the boys to be outside, to exercise their body and love nature. Can’t wait for more family hikes and more adventures. . El Martes fuimos de excursión con los niños, y aprte de que estuvo divertido estuvo siper cansado pq terminamos cargandolos, especialmente a Joshua que se la pasaba diciendo: “mami Joshua cansayo”, obviamente no caminamos todo pero fue suficiente para mover el cuerpo, salir de la casa y respirar aire fresco. Nos gusta enseñarles a los niños a disfrutar de la naturaleza, jugar afuera y hacer ejercicio, por que es bueno para la salud mental y fisica. Me emociono de pensar que es la primera de muchas aventuras en familia. • • • • • #findthesunshine2020 #arayofhope #gettingsomefreshair #familyhike #mylittlefamilia #theshrivers #shriverfam #surviving2020 #teachthemyoung #letthembekids #lifeasamom #lovemyhusband #bestdaddyever #movingthebody #exercisemotivation #familyworkout #formoreadventures #lucassamuelshriver #joshuamateoshriver #landscape #arizonadesert #telegraphpass #telegraphpassyuma #yumaarizona (at Telegraph Pass- Yuma, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B98O2VolDCm/?igshid=1pfqmfzlh95ak

The Shrives- Voodoo Lounge, Stamford

On Friday 16th of June I went to voodoo lounge in Stamford, this was a venue that I had never been to before, it was a small venue and the actual stage was underground in a quite confined space, I felt that this gave the venue more atmosphere and made it more exciting and interesting than it may have been at a different venue. The event has two support acts, The Exton’s and The Talk, the bands played lively and fun music to get the crowd in the mood for the gig. The Shrives came on around 10 o’clock and manly played songs from there album “Back in The Morrow” but also played some other things that were not on the album, the songs got everyone dancing and jumping around, this made the venue very hot but that didn’t mean that people didn’t have fun. During the show, there was a lot of audience participation and lots of the band coming into the crowd whilst playing the songs. At the end of the bands set they did a ska mashup of many different songs and then finally they did a cover of a Beatles song and finished the gig. The show was fun and very enjoyable to watch.

Royal Blood- Hippodrome, Kingston Upon Thames

On the Saturday, I went to an album release show of Royal Blood’s new album “How Did We Get So Dark?”, the band had no support as the gig was mainly about their album release so they were the only Royal Blood. The band played most of the songs on their new album, the songs were lively and even though most people did not know the songs they were the sort that you could recognise, enjoy and dance to. The songs on the album were catchy and you could tell that they were by Royal Blood because of the style. During the gig, they did lay some of their old songs and these were the ones that got the most reaction from the audience and most people knew them word for word and sang along. The band were very talented and at points seemed as if they were putting in hardly any effort but still coming out with these amazing songs and sounds. As the event was an album release party everyone that went got a free copy of the CD included in their ticket price. During the show, there was lots of jumping around and crowd surfing even from band member Ben Thatcher who climbed on the crowd during one of the songs before swiftly returning to his drum kit.

Paramore- The Royal Albert Hall, London

Finally, on Monday 19th of June I went to watch Paramore at the Royal Albert Hall, the band are currently touring Europe in support of their new album “After Laughter” I was very excited to see this band as I extremely enjoy their music and wanted to see what they were like live. In the venue, our seats were very high up so I was worried that we may not be able to see however I quickly found out that this would not be the case and that I would be able to see fine. The support act was a band called Bleached this band were a grungy rock band who took their inspiration from bands like Nirvana you could tell this by the type of music that they were playing. The whole show seemed to be running half an hour late this was disappointing as people felt like they were being kept waiting and if it hadn’t have started when it did I think that people would have started to get annoyed. When Paramore finally came on they came on with a very lively tune from there new album, one that everybody knew so that they could sing along. The band performed lots of songs old and new and even though their old songs got more of a reaction the new songs still brought joy and fun to the audience. Whilst there I had a very fun and enjoyable evening with lots of singing along to songs and dancing the only disappointing part was the fact that they did not play “Ignorance” which is one of my favourite Paramore songs.

A Very Busy Weekend The Shrives- Voodoo Lounge, Stamford On Friday 16th of June I went to voodoo lounge in Stamford, this was a venue that I had never been to before, it was a small venue and the actual stage was underground in a quite confined space, I felt that this gave the venue more atmosphere and made it more exciting and interesting than it may have been at a different venue.

El otro dia me dijo Bryan “creo que esta navidad me siento más emocionado y mas festivo que antes”. A lo que yo le contesté que yo tmb me sentía así. La conclusión fue que ver la emoción de nuestro hijos por cada simple de detalle, las esferas, la estrella en el arbol, los foquitos, las cancion de jingle bells, ls casas con luces navideñas, arboles decorados a cada lugar que vamos les entra una emoción, y eso a mi y a mis esposo nos llena de alegría. Y por eso este año porfin Pusimos arbolito en la casa, por que en esta edad que estan ya se dan cuenta de todo y se emocionan y queremos crear nuestras tradiciones familiares, recuerdos que les van a durar siempre y hacer de su infancia la mas bonita que se pueda. . The other day Bryan said to me “I feel like this year m more excited about Christmas” and I said that I felt the same way, and its all because our boys get so excited with all the little simple things that we as adults kind of forget about it. The star on the tree, the ornaments, the lights, the houses decorated, everywhere we go there’s a christmas tree, the Christmas songs, everything as soon as they see it their little faces light up and they smile so big and our hearts just fill up with Joy. This year was the 1st Christmas tree in our home, and has been such an awesome experience. Since they are at an age where they are noticing every single detail, we want to create fun memories for them, our little family traditions and let them have the best childhood. • • • • • #throughtheireyes #creatingmagic #newfamilytraditions #funchildhoodmemories #christmaslife #thelittlethingsinlife #growingupwithsiblings #toddlerlifeisthebestlife #memoriestobemade #theshrivers #shriverfam #shriverboys #letthembelittle #dontgrowuptoofast #misvalientes #navidad2019 #primerarboldenavidad #firstchristmastree #creandomemorias #bonitainfancia #laspequeñascosas (at Chula Vista, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5v2kGGFDwp/?igshid=quy9fq78yst

Me alegran la vida, hacen mis dias mas felices (aunque tmb medio tormentosos de vez en cuando jaja) estoy muy agradecida por mis pedacitos de cielo. Nuestra casa esta llena de alegria y vida por ustedes dos. • • • • • #misvalientes #meloscomoenuntaquitoconaguacate #boymom #mamalatina #hispanickids #mexicanamerican #misbebesgrandes #mamadedosniños #lavidademama #momlifebelike #gracebasedparenting #joyfulmamas #irishtwins #teachthemyoung #loveandrespect #homefulloflove #houseofboys #theshrivers #lucassamuelshriver #joshuamateoshriver #shriverfam #educandocomamor #laalegriadelacasa #mirazondevivir #littlesunshine #letthembelittle (at Yuma, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5eZHxEFlml/?igshid=1l5d16q4ghpzn

Yesterday (Sunday 11th Of June) I went to Market Warsop to watch a music event .   When we got to the venue it was small and decorated with CD covers and vinyl record covers. The event was performed acoustically by all the acts.

The first act of the night was The Hugo Steady band, they were a local band from the village that the venue was in, so they knew most of the people there and most of the audience already knew of their music. The band played mostly country/folk style music that they had written themselves for the band, the song that I enjoyed the most was called “When Dave Dies” and was about the bassist in the band, I liked this song as it was catchy and energetic so I found it extremely enjoyable, the band managed to give a really lively and exciting feel to the event.

The next act was Ellis Waring his music was also kinda folk like but also had a more rocky feel to it, I felt that at some points during his performance I could not understand what he was saying in the song as it was slightly to fast paced however the tune was enjoyable and so was everything else that I heard. Through his act Ellis had a running joke about the songs he had written and the fact that he did not know what they were called , he performed quite a few songs and had a very happy manner on stage making the audience that were watching him happy.

Next up was The Shrives this is a band that I have watched before this time however they were performing acoustic, something that I hadn’t experienced before, the band played all of the songs that they would normally play but with an acoustic twist, this act was slightly more calm and chilled out than the rest of the acts had been but I thoroughly enjoyed there performance. The band also did an acoustic cover of “Heart Of Glass” by Blondie this was also enjoyable and a good song for people to sing along to.

The event was fun and everyone seemed to have a good evening.

On Wednesday 12th Of April I went to see The Shrives and SWMRS in London. When we got there the venue was smaller than most venues that we had been to before however this was nice as it meant that you could see the bands well and also made the gig feel more personal instead of when your at a big venue with thousands of people. Unlike the last concert I went to, the doors opened at 7 this meant we had an hour before the support act started, this was good as it made sure that everyone was in the venue before the acts started so everyone could enjoy it.

The support band for the concert was The Shrives, these were a band that I had seen several times before so I already knew that I would enjoy the show. The band mainly played songs from their recently released debut album but they also played some songs that were not on the album, this meant that I knew a lot of the songs that were being played making it even more enjoyable, they also played a cover of “Heart of Glass” by Blondie which most of the audience knew so even if they did not know the songs they knew this one and it meant that they could join in and have fun. The songs that the band played were enjoyable and got everyone excited and ready for the rest of the bands set and also the rest of the gig, this was helped by the fact that a lot of the songs had sing along and catchy bits so that even if you didn’t know the song you could join in and feel part of it.

SWMRS were up next playing a lot of their popular song to begin with. After seeing the band with All Time Low I was extremely excited to see them again as I really enjoyed them the first time and knew that they would be just as good again. The band made the gig very inviting and enjoyable for everyone there and included a lot of audience participation whether that was clapping or singing and even inviting the audience on stage at points and having them do “Stage Dives”. After doing a large amount of their own songs the band did a cover of  “Can’t Stand Me Now” by the libertines, this is a very popular song so everyone enjoyed it and sang along. After the gig had finished Cole came out to meet the fans and take pictures and sign things. I really enjoyed the gig and had an absolutely brilliant and fun time.
