Just sayin...

People magazine just named Johnny Depp the sexiest man alive....I agree.
In all seriousness, every time Nate wears a hat...people come up to him thinking he is Johnny Depp.
Nate is going to kill me for posting this...haha

"Beautiful World"

I know, I know.
Lots of videos...but its the best way to show off Nate's amazing songs.
I love how Nate's music can turn simple images into magic.

another day, another song

the band went in to record a few songs this week(in STP's own studio)
here is one of the songs, with pictures of them in the studio

Halloween

Unfortunately, my camera reader isn't working...so no pictures.


Nate was playing at a Harvest Festival for a Calvary Chapel in Ventura. So Gavin dressed up as Spiderman (again) and we drove up the coast for the show. Turned out to be a great night hosted by a great church that took great care of the band. Its amazing how much nicer people get the furthur out of LA you go...

It's not very often I can watch Nate on stage and Gavin in the bounce house at the same time. I was very content. Nate enjoyed the kids as opposed to Hollywood bars he is usually playing in for Halloween.

Gavin played his heart out.
Nate played his heart out.

Good night.

My Husband

So, Nate has been working on a solo project on the side of Beautiful Criminal. Its something he has been wanting to do for a long time, but time/money/resources just have not aligned until now. He is only halfway done with his album, but the first 5 songs are AMAZING. Don't get me wrong, he loves being in a band...but he is experiencing a new type of freedom in his art...to create as he always has, but not be boxed in by relationships/egos/expectations, etc.

This is one of his new solo songs. I cried the first time I heard it. It is a beautiful song about our marriage...and from my inside perspective I understand/feel every lyric. It paint such a picture of our lives together. I am so blessed to be married to him...and how many girls get so many great song written for them!?

Cards

Gavin has been making tons of Birthday cards for Nate all week. He comes home with a new batch everyday from school.
Gavin has a lot of love in his heart for his dad.
I make it into some of the pictures, but usually Gavin draws him and his dad inside the house, with me outside in the rain. :)

The Crew

Nate's Birthday

So Nate turned the dreaded 30 this week...a day he has been dreading for a long time! His brother tried to make it better by flying out and taking him to Las Vegas. Unfortunately, Nate's feelings about turning 30 made him very ill and he spent all weekend in his hotel bed with a fever. Turns out it may have been H1N1...poor Nate, he really does have the weekest immune system in the universe.

So it was just Gavin and I for the weekend...we had lots of fun with diet coke and mentos explosions and baking a cake for Nate's birthday together. Nate only likes German Chocolate cake...and no matter how hard I try...I just can't make German Chocolate cakes look pretty.

Unfortunately, Nate had been too sick to even blow out his candles...but we couldn't keep Gavin from eating the cake any longer. So now we have an half eaten cake with "unblown out" candles on top.

Praying this year hold amazing things for Nate and less sickness!!!
