Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

What a concert! I've got video for you. The concert was a lot of fun. However, when I initially won the tickets and just wanted to go see Cyndi Lauper and Joan Jett, I had no clue what was about to happen. Let me preface by saying, I am in NO WAY a homophobe, which was a good thing, seeing that the underlying meaning of the "True Colors" concert is unity and equality for Gays, Lesbians and Transgendered people. There are no words for some of the things we saw - This is what I get for living such a sheltered life. I don't care, it was GREAT!!!

Let's start with a couple of pictures - Dave and I did have fun.

Then, there was Laura and Shonda, 2 crazy ladies!

Finally, Chris - the one who didn't want it known he went to the totally outrageous event. but oh well, I was in charge of the camera, so now everyone knows! In front of Chris, you can see the backs of Morgan, Meredith and Anna. They weren't even born when Cyndi and Joan started singing! We did sit by some girls who looked like they could have been right out of my high school year book. Morgan was fascinated with the outfits. Remember girls - big hair, layered blouses, short skirts and the leggings? That is what they wore. With the crowd, I didn't know if they were playing dress up or if that is what they actually wear everyday.

A couple of sitings - Dave loved these socks, we are trying to find him a pair! And this couple, well, they caused a nice family with a child (probably about 10) to relocate to a different section of the lawn. They should have gotten a room!

Cook-off, Concert and Rodeo

Before I get started: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM! My baby brother is 35 today - That makes my Mother Old!!!!

Ok, so I was chastised by a good friend (thanks Becky!) for being a slacker. I have no children, so why don't I have time to update my blog? Good Question, with no answer. I don't forget to do it, I just don't do it!~ For those of you who blog, you know what I mean - It's not just typing things online and your done. There is a lot of energy that goes into informing and entertaining your family and friends.

Cook-off Results:

We didn't win for our food, but we did get a better prize! BEST PIT 2008. Thanks Dad! For those of you who have not seen his creation, here it is. Absolutely beautiful - even the judges thought so! It looks even better when the Bud and Bud Light Umbrellas are up and running.

Concert:

We went to the Earl Thomas Conley Concert at Wolf Pen Creek. Dave's sister and her family joined us. Mom brought Presley and her friend Carley. The girls had an absolute blast. Here are Prelsley, Carley and Kenadi. Too cute. Paula loved Presley's mouth full of popcorn. I can't even remember being that young and full of energy.

Finally, the Rodeo.

Mom is reliving her childhood through her grandkids. Marc and Jodie take Little Ray to the Burleson County Playday in Caldwell, and he rides Molly (Uncle Ray's horse). Mom was finally able to get Presley and Trenton to Playday with them. Look at these little faces. Trenton now loves horses and Presley told her Dad they need to get one. We are going to watch them this Sunday . I can't wait.
