Concerts

I have gone to two totally different concerts within in the last week. There is only one thing they both have in common, I love their old music they played over 10 plus years ago.

The George

On Friday I went to George Straight! I went with my 2 older sisters and Mom. What a fun time I had and will do it again in a heart beat. We hit up Millie's for some good old fashioned burgers, fries and a shake to share. We found a great spot on the lawn to watch the concert after finally getting through the long line. Before the music, We took pictures of each other, together and laughed a lot.
There were these ladies in font of us that were just dancing their little booty's right off from the first song to the last song.
Some good friends found us and joined our Blanket. We all sang, danced and had a great time listening to the King of Country Music.

George Straight, still sexy

Love the smile

He just stands there and sings to you!

The Snoop Dogg

Monday night Andy and I headed off to see Snoop Doggy Dogg! This was the complete opposite from George but I loved it just the same. Andy got me listening to old school rap and Snoop is my all time favorite. He played all the old school songs from "Doggystyle" and we just laid back and listen. Great times! We went last year, this year and hopefully he comes next year too!

Our spot a the top of the hill

Listening to Bob Marley's son

Andy enjoying Slightly Stupid

A cool night so I wrapped in the blanket to wait for Snoop Dogg

If you can see a black shirt with white writing on it that is Snoop!

Bees Batting Practice

Last weekend we headed to the ballpark. Not for a game but for batting practice at the ball park. The kids had a blast throwing and chasing the balls in the outfield. Andy and I would throw the ball pretty far and they would run after it. Yes, we were playing fetch with our kids.

Gibby playing right field

Running after the ball

Gibby did get the ball every now and then from big sister

We headed to the dugout for some water, peanuts and pretzels. Gibson loved all the Bees logo's everywhere and we all had fun sitting on the same benches the players sit on during the games.

Cooling off and getting some refreshments in the dugout

Baseball cards!

Gibby in Heaven

We all got a chance to bat. We will need to keep practicing a bit more with Etta to keep her eyes on the ball. Gibby made contact with the help and good aim from the pitcher. He took off running! :)

I hit the ball a couple of times. They throw so fast. Andy did great and we all had a great time. Ben Johnson came out and gave Gibby high five and took a few pictures with the kids. It couldn't have been a better day. Cloud cover and not to hot. Can't wait until next time.

Etta's turn to bat

That would be a strike

Gibby's turn to bat

Gibby swinging, I believe this is the ball that he makes contact with

My turn- look at my stance, sweet!

Looks just like a baseball player- so hot!

High Five from Ben Johnson

Gibby had a peanut he had to show Ben and wouldn't let it go.

Etta not to happy having to stand by a baseball player, good job girl stay away from the boys

(Didn't mean to make the picture so big, I kinda like them larger)

Hanana Montana the Movie

Yes, my daughter is only 3 and I took her to see the Hanana Montana Movie. Friends of mine, that have daughters around the same age, met us up at the Movie Theater to enjoy this very darling movie. I believe I enjoyed it more than Etta who leaned over to me when it was almost over and said, "This movie is forever". She loved when they did the Hoedown Throwdown song and Gibson slept 3/4's of the movie.

Sammy, Salote and Etta are just so darling. We will have to do it again when Disney's Princess and the Frog Movie comes out. They may enjoy a princess movie a little more. Then we will hit up Hanana Montana again in a few years!

Etta was jumping out of the car she was so excited to go to the movies

Etta already with her ticket

Gibby giving a smile, he had to come so he brought a car to add some boy to the outing

Etta sitting in her seat excited to be at the Movies

Gibby loved how big the screen was and couldn't take his eyes off the screen during previews

Cherry Hill, Softball, New Car and the Drive-In

My good friend April invited us to Cherry Hill last week. I have always wanted to go and Etta was excited to go to a water park. I packed us a delicious lunch of fruit, veggies, sandwiches, the works. We loaded up the car and headed to April's. We followed them up and half way to Cherry Hill I realized I forgot to put the cooler in the car. I was so sad.
We had a great time sliding down the little slide and playing in the pirates cove. The Lazy river was OK until April let up barrow a floaty for Gibby and then it was awesome. We went around at least 10 times!
We can't wait to go again and spend some more fun time with April, Makenna, Ashton and Cole. I have to bring my cooler the next time!

Off to Cherry Hill

Andy and I are in a co-ed softball league. It has been fun to play in and keeps us active somewhat. I have never taken any pictures because I am playing and forget so I had to take a quick shot of us before the game. Notice our new car :) We sold our truck and bought a Volvo!

Yeah, we are called the Ghetto All Stars

After our Game, in which we lost badly. We headed off to the drive-in to try out our new car. We have loved going to the drive-in. With the truck we just loaded up the futon mattress and had a comfy little bed.
Our new car is a Volvo V70 and I love it. It isn't brand new but new to me and I couldn't be happier. We brought pillows and blankets, laid the kids in the back and set up chairs for ourselves. The kids had fun but had a hard time falling to sleep. Once they were out Andy and I enjoyed the 2nd movie. We arrived home around 2:30. It was great because it was not busy at all, yet the returning home so late reminded us why you go on the weekends.

My new ride

Love the wagons

Getting set up

Perfect little beds

Thinking this is pretty cool

Our new car worked out pretty nicely. So, we will be attending many more movies at the drive-in!
