Aussie Pink Floyd

We went to see Aussie Pink Floyd in concert last night at the Usana. They were such a good cover band. I couldn't believe how much they sounded like the real thing!! We had such GREAT seats....10th row from the front. It's such a different experience when you're that close and can actually see the band and what they're doing. Being that close to the front meant that we were closer to the sound system!! I love feeling that rattle in my chest from the bass. It was a GORGEOUS night for an outdoor concert. I love Usana and have yet to be rained on =)

We almost missed the concert altogether. Chris thought it was on Saturday. Had it not been for his buddy hoping to get a ticket, we would have missed it. It was so ironic that Duane happened to ask Chris about the concert YESTERDAY and not today or Friday. When he went to try and buy a ticket, he immediately informed Chris that the concert was "tonight". Chris called me in a panic at 6:00 from work and told me to be ready when he got home. We were a little late...missed the first two songs, Breathe and Time, which unfortunately were our two VERY FAVORTIE songs and were the songs that we anticipated to hear the most. Oh well, techincally we still heard them, just in the car as we were creeping into the parking lot. We could have made it if it hadn't been for the STUPID constrcution on the road to Usana. But when it all comes down to it, I'm just grateful that we didn't completely miss it. Man, oh man, would Chris have been MAD if that happened. Especially if we had shown up on Saturday to find that Deirks Bently, Jimmy Wayne and Brad Paisley were playing that night. WHEW!!! That really was a close call! (He despises country music......but I don't.)


Toward the end of the show, they brought out this HUGE inflatable kangaroo! It was pretty amusing to watch it bounce up and down!!

My Kids Are Being STALKED...

...By corn stalks, that is!!!! Not to mention the earwigs, grasshoppers and spiders crawling all over the corn stalks. :)


They weren't very happy with me for stuffing these corn stalks in the van from grandpa's garden and then making them sit with them all the way home. I thought it was worth it though because now I can have a cute bundle of corn stalks to put with my scarecrow and didn't have to pay for them :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I swear I just wrote about it being Chelsea's 18th birthday! But here we are, another year later, and it's her 19th birthday. WHOA!

Chelsea is....well....a ray of sunshine!! She has the most positive, upbeat, cheerful disposition and is an absolute joy to be around. She has grown into a beautiful woman and has made her parents very proud. Our hearts swell with joy as we watch her stand tall and shine like a beacon for all to see.


We are so excited to welcome her into our home for a while. She'll be here in 9 days to live with us for a while as she embarks on a new chapter in her life. No one is more excited than Emmy though! She won't be the only girl anymore :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Chelsea!! WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH <3
