Week Recap!

work mond-wedn. as usual.

Thursday evening we went to Justin Moore at the Wildhorse Saloon.  I had never been there but it is PERFECT for concerts and I can't wait to go back.  It's a huge room with 3 (I think) different levels.  You can go to any of the levels and get a seat (if you get there early enough) and set around the balcony or you can do what we did and stand on the floor and get really close to the stage.  Brit and I had just seen Justin Moore at the Miranda concert and I fell in love with him then.  He is awesome, writes a lot of his songs, and is a great performer.  I love ALL of his songs and his new one "If Heaven wasn't so far Away" is so touching, I just love it!  We met Brandon, Blake, Brook, and Danielle at Hooters before the concert and had dinner.  Anyhow the concert was awesome and I had a great time, although I was worn out!  We went straight home after the concert

 Chris Young made a surprise appearance 

Friday, I spent most of the day working on pictures.  That evening Josh, Jake, Brandon, and Christy came over.  Be played P&A, country dance on the wii, and drank lots of alcohol.  It was nice to have a night at home.

The boys passed out...

On saturday I went to see baby brother at the hospital and take them his car seat.  He's grown so much and is so adorable.  He was supposed to come home soon but he keeps having apnea's and brady's so they are gonna hold onto him for a while longer.

After that, I went to watch Logan race for the 1st time...I'm gonna do another post on that!

Sugarland!!!

2 weekends ago we went to Nashville for Sugarland.  By we, I mean Me, Alan, Brit, Thad, Jo, Noah, and Hatcher.  Brit, Jo, and I had planned on going to the concert for a while and Thad's Birthday was also that weekend so we decided to do it all at the same time.  Of course, the guys did not go to the concert.

Brit, Jo, alan, noah, and I all rode together and we ended up going to Starstruck Studios (Reba's studio) to visit Chris (Alan's Friend.)  Alan had been a couple of times before but the rest of us had never been.  Chris showed us around the whole studio!  It was awesome...

Outside of the studio...

After we left there, we went to our hotel, met the rest of the crew and started pre-gaming.  After we all got ready, we went to Hooters, well Thad and I made a pit stop at the Harley store to buy some shirts for each other, ate dinner, had a few drinks and then split up.  Who knows what the boys did or where they went.  All I know is that when we met back up with them after the concert Thad and Noah were WASTED, Hatcher was gone, and Alan was sober.....lol!

Moving on, the concert was AMAZING.  I lOVE, LOVE, LOVE, live music and concerts and I've really never been to a concert that I didn't love, but this one was amazing.  It was almost as good as Garth Brooks.  Jennifer Nettles has so much energy.  She was jumping around and dancing everywhere!  Jennifer and Kristian's voices are perfect together!  Little Big Town opened for them and although I didn't know many of their songs I still really enjoyed them!

After the concert, we met up with the boys at Big Bang.  They got Thad on stage for his birthday and it was hilarious!  We also met up with Court, Brit, Danielle, and Brook there...Love those girls!  Big Bang was super crowded and really hot and we all got hungry so we walked next door to paradise park, ate, and then got a taxi back to the hotel.  The girls came down for a bit and then we all went to bed.

It was a great night!  And I'm so thankful to have great friends who like to have a good time...

Next concert on the list...Justin Moore...April 21st @ Wildhorse!

Oh, I almost forgot.  Jo about got in a fight with some ol' hag at the concert.  The people in front of us were standing and so were we and she asked us to sit down.  Ummm, hello!  It's a freakin concert.  If you didn't want to have to stand up to see you should have requested a different seat....like one on the front row of any of the levels, or even and the end of a row!  It was hilarious.  Although, when the left the poured a whole bottle of water all over he seat and her north face...lol!  crazy women!

Logan's 1st Concert

On Friday, Febrauary 25 I took Logan to his 1st concert....he loved it and I'm so happy I got to expierence his 1st concert with him.

I took him to see Jason Aldean in Knoxville at Thompson Bowling Arena.  Ever since Jason Aldean released Big Green Tractor, Logan has LOVED the song...of course, at the time the song came out he loved anything and everything that had anything to do with tractors.  Anywho, he loves the song, like knows every work of it and has for a long time.  He even sang karaoke to it at Kelsie and Lewey's wedding back in November of 2010.  I had always said if Jason Aldean came to Knoxville I would take him, so I bought us tickets as soon as I found out he would be there.

Logan wasn't really sure if he wanted to go or not.  Mom had told him a while back that concerts were boring and so he was on the fence and honestly, I wasn't going to push him to go, because we weren't that impressed with the concert when we saw it in Chattanooga.  Anyway, he decided the week of the concert that he wanted to go and by Friday he was really excited.  I met mom in Monterey to pick him up around 1 pm, took him to get his hair cut, and then went to Brandon and Blake's to meet them!  So....it was me, Logan, Alan, Brandon, Blake, and Joanna......crazy crew!  Logan loves being around everyone so he was already having a blast.

We stopped at Smoky Mountain Brewery to eat in Turkey Creek before the concert.  We missed the Jane Deer Girls, which I'm was NOT upset about.  Eric Church came out right as we were getting to our seats.  Most of the time Logan was looking pretty bored during Eric Church so I was a little worried that he was going to be bored during the whole show.  When he sang Love Your Love the Most, (mustuard on my fries is what Logan calls it) Logan stood up in his chair and sang.  Then when he sang these boots we convinced him to take his boot off and hold it up in the air.  All the ladies around us got a kick out of him all night long!  The whole time Eric was playing he kept asking when Jason Aldean was going to sing.

Once Eric went off stage and they turned the lights on, he just kept asking when Jason Aldean was gonna come on stage!  Then the next questions he asked a million times was....what I thought his 1st song was gonna be?  Honestly, I can't remember the 1st song, but I do remember that he knew the words to almost every song and he had the biggest smile on his face.  He would sit down after each song thinking that he wouldn't know the next song and that he wouldn't wanna stand up to sing it and almost everytime he was up singing.  I do know that he was on cloud 9 when Big Green Tractor came on!  He stood up, was dancing, playing the air guitar, and singing EVERY word!  I LOVED it!  He had worn a cowboy hat and had taken it off.  For whatever reason, when Big Greeen Tractor came on, he immedietly said I need my cowboy hat....it was so cute!  Anyhow, Big Green Tractor, Crazytown, and Hicktown were the 3 songs he really loves and wanted to hear.  He sang Big Green Tractor and Crazytown and then went off stage.  Logan sat down in his seat, put his cowboy hat in his lap and fell asleep.  I knew he'd come back on stage and he did.  Hicktown was his last song and I woke Logan up a couple of times to see if he wanted to wake up to hear it, but he just pushed me off....it was 11:30 at this point so the boy was TIRED!  I stood up to sing along and watch, turned around to talk to Alan and then I felt a little tug on my arm.  Logan had woke up, was back standing up in his chair and singing along!  It was a great night!

He is already asking when the next concert is and when we can go back to another one!  I am so excited, I think he's gonna love live music as much as I do.  I can't wait to take him to another one!

He fell asleep as soon as we got into the car.  He spent the night with us and Saturday we got up, did a little shopping, went to the park, came home and painted wooden dinausours, went to eat chinease, and then went to see Gnomeo and Juliet in 3D.  It was such a cute movie and actually held Logan's attention the whole time, which is hard to do.  Plus, Alan even said it was good!  After the movie, we went by Wal-Mart to get some things and ended up buying a Kinect for the xbox.  We spent the rest of the evening playing it!

Such a great weekend.  I love that little guy to death!

Jan 31st-Feb 6th Recap

Mond-Wedn WORK!

Thursday-Sleep!

Friday-I got up cleaned the house, ran some errands, done a little shopping, and then went back to the house to start packing for Chattanooga!  Brandon, Blake, Jonathan, Brittany, Thad, and Joanna met us at the house and we headed out.  I napped on the way down.  We got to our hotel, checked in, and then Brit and Jo started getting ready.  I had been up since 1am Friday ( right now, I'm having a horrible time getting back on a normal schedule after my 3 nights at work) so I didn't wanna get dressed up and really didn't wanna do anything.  I was just a bit....grumpy!  Anyhow, we called a taxi/van to come get all of us.  We went to Taco Mac to have dinner.  I got a kids meal with corn dogs but someone ordered chips and cheese dip and it was the best cheese dip EVER!  After dinner we decided to go to the Electric Cowboy.  I'm not sure whose idea it was to go to go this place but it was HORRIBLE.  Seriously it was one of the shadiest places I've ever been.  After a few minutes we called the taxi to come back and get us.  So after we wasted over $40 on taxis we ended up back downtown, right where we started.  I can't remember the 1st place we went downtown but there was some horrible HARD rock group playing and no one (except Alan) was really into it.  We ended the night at Sing It or Wing It which was the best place we went all night!  I was soooo tired and so ready to get in the bed once we got back to the hotel.

Saturday we all slept in and laid around for most of the morning.  Joanna needed to get something to wear and Brandon needed some white shirts to we went to the mall.  Joanna and I took off to get the shopping quickly done.  I'm a quick shopper and she's a SLOW shopper so I have to keep her on track.....ha!  We stopped at a random sunglasses store and I fell IN LOVE with some Tiffany sunglasses!  Sadly the were $450 and I just can't see spending that much on sunglasses, especially when at least 5 pair of mine end up at the bottom of the lake each summer.

After shopping, we went back to the room and started drinking and getting ready for dinner and the concert!  Margaux and Brook stayed at the same hotel and they came to the room a few minutes before we headed out.  We had to have to two taxi vans to get all of us.  Kelsie and Lewey were already downtown and had tried to get us a table at Chili's but the wait was crazy so they walked into Sing it or Wing it and got us a table.  We (all 12 of us) had dinner there and then called a taxi to come get us.  Downtown was so crazy, the taxi was taking forever, and we were getting close to time for the concert SO........when the taxi got there........all 12 of us piled in!!!  Yes 13 people in one taxi van!  Jonathan was setting on Blake's lap...it was hilarious.  But we made it to the concert in time for Eric Church.  He put on a great show!!!  I wasn't too impressed with Jason Aldean though!  He sang way to many slow songs!  After the concert the boys (blake, brandon, and jonathan) left with some girls and we all went to Mellow Mushroom.  We ate a little and had a few drinks and then went back to the room.  When we got there the 3 boys were all in their room in the bed.......hahahahahha!  Everyone hung out in the room for a while and then went to bed.  It was a great trip and I love when we all get together! 

Sunday was the Super Bowl.  Brandon had a get together at his house and we went for a while.  I was worn out so we left after 1/2 time. 

ANOTHER GREAT WEEKEND!
