Photo Updates part 2

Our only photo of all of us so far this 2001...and 3 of us have red runny noses. I love my family :)

Lolo playing at the park.

Lolo FINALLY got some birthday cake... and it was for someone elses birthday :) He didn't really eat a lot of cake but he loved the frosting.

We went to see Aunt Kim and Lou in Omaha. We had a wonderful time. Liberty especially loved playing jenga with Uncle Lou. Although, they didn't really play the game, they just built structures and destroyed them :)

This is my new favorite photo of the kiddos. It's horrible and blurry but they are both smiling and looking at the camera, that is a rare photo.

This was apparently a green day, again both kids are smiling and looking at the camera and AGAIN the photos are blurry. It's as if my camera detects smiles and adds blur...Rrrggg...

Photo Updates Part 1

Hey all, I'm sorry I've been neglecting this blog. I've been busy on my other one. I've opened a store and I'm officially a professional scrapper :) I'm really enjoying myself and I hope this is something I get to do for a long time.

Anyways, back to photos, here are some updates since my last blog post.
One of our dear friends crashed into our garage. I don't have any fixed photos, but trust me when I say the new door is a HUGE improvement! Ross took me to see Monster Trucks. It was so fun. There were five trucks but I'm just showing you my favorite two. The "Monster-Saurus" was a destruction truck. The photos show before and after of the car it destroyed.

Viper won the rally and I voted for him the whole time, plus when the driver got out to take a bow, he was bigger than cowboy so clearly you do not have to be an athlete to drive a big truck :)

We saw Elmo again and learned all sorts of fun ways to stay healthy. Super Grover was my favorite and still is now that I'm older and I haven't gotten a single good photo of him :( But considering my camera is in the bad state it's in, my photos were pretty decent, and I still got great Bert photos :)

I gave Liberty Sesame street toes in honor of the show.

Chris Young, Luke Bryan and Rascal Flatts

So Oh my Gosh, What a night. We left early so we would be there in time in case of stormy weather and I'm so happy we did. Up to Lincoln. about our halfway mark, the weather was great. Between Lincoln and Omaha seemed like we drove into the twilight zone. It got foggy fast, then came the snow and it came hard. We could hardly see 25 feet ahead of us. Cars kept spinning out. Ross was giving Eric directions on how to drive through the snow the WHOLE time and Eric was getting irritated. It was slow towards the end but we made it in time. I bought a shirt and got into our seats right as the first song started.

Now I'm super happy with my photos. I took over 300 photos and the ones I'm showing aren't all my favorites. I still haven't had time to really sit and look at them all just yet. The blurriness in some are not my cameras fault. It's the performers... Those boys just would not stand still for nothing :)

Chris Young was better than I hoped and I loved every minute of his show. He didn't sing my favorite song but since he was the first opener, he had a pretty short set. He still sang my second and third favorite songs, they were his radio hits, and a few new ones so I'm really looking forward to his next album now. Luke Bryan was a good performer and very friendly and flirty but his voice was nothing to write home about... Now let me explain. he performed his songs very well. He wasn't bad, but he was on stage with Chris Young and the boys of Rascal Flatts, all phenomenal singers, and his voice just didn't fit the show.
Rascal Flatts knocked the house down! Their stage was so cool. It was made up of a bunch of screens that would move around and show different videos and photos during there songs. The stage alone and all the amazing photos the showed were awesome. They fit the songs perfectly and made me cry twice. The boys were funny and crazy and since it was there ten year anniversary show, they played all there radio hits. None of my top favorites but still great songs and I knew them all by heart so I sang along the whole time... No, I could not speak the next morning :) The trip home was so slow. I cleaned all the snow off the car and broke a wind shield wiper off. We tried to drive without it but had to pull over and tie it back on within half a mile of leaving... That reminds me, I owe Ross a new shoe string :) The first 20 miles or so out of Omaha went so slow. Traffic was going an average of 40 miles per hour. Very slow but it was easier to see and the roads weren't as crowed. After we passed Lincoln it was pretty nice again. This trip would take us about 2 hours and we took 3 1/2 hours to get home. We got home about 2:30 and Eric had to leave for work again at 5:00. He slept the entire day when he got home after noon. Altogether, the trip was scary and the concert was amazing. So I'm choosing to remember it all as a wonderful night!
