Prayer Request for Tina & Family

Just a little request to say a prayer for my dear friend Tina.  Tina lost her father to cancer yesterday.  The family will be traveling to the funeral which is states away.  Please pray for peace for Tina and safe travel.  My heart goes out to Tina!  Having lost my mom to cancer her loss hits me hard.  I am not going to pretend I know how she is feeling because I don't know how she is feeling.  I know how I was feeling.  My thoughts and prayers will be with Tina and her family over the next few days.

Uncle Roger and Mary's New Family Member September 2009

My Uncle Roger (I might have posted in the past about one of my fav men on this planet!) and Mary lost their beloved dog in September.  Within a few weeks they were able to adopt a new puppy!  Dickie III is 6 months old and very full of energy!  He has a soft, beautiful coat that the pics don't justify!  Congrats on the new family addition!!!!

Is it just me or does this little girl look mischievous!?!?!!

Uncle Kenny holding Lincoln-believe me, Uncle Kenny does NOT like his picture being taken

Lincoln is a full-blown thumb sucker!  I have a special place in my heart for thumb-suckers!

On Sunday, Britt, Madi, and Brayden caught this toad at Papa's, much to their delight Papa said they could bring it in the house to show Aunt Deanna and myself

Lincoln September 2009

Look at this smiling boy! 

Even though Lincoln isn't smiling in this picture, I am sure he is happy to be sitting up and in the middle of everything!  PRECIOUS!

Kenny Chesney Concert 9.19.09

Brittany and I made our annual trip to see Mr. Chesney this past Saturday night.  The highlight of the evening for me is that Kenny sang "Me and You" for the 1st time in 6 years.  I know the number of years because he told the audience he wanted to do a song that he has missed singing to the Indy crowd.  "Me and You" was a song that played at Chad and my wedding.  Kenny sounded GREAT and was in a good mood!  I have seen him enough times to know when he isn't up to par and he definitely was that night.

I didn't know that when I bought tickets I bought club seats.  At Lucas Oil they have the Baker Daniels Club, which entitled us to a special entrance, a private bathroom, our own concession stand/bar, and the lobby even had Colts carpet!

this is Brittany being impressed that the stall had individual lights!  TOO CUTE!  We had visited the normal bathrooms before we went to our seats so she said these made her feel extra special!

The security crew even went and got her ear plugs.  I thought you would be able to see them in this pic but not really!

our view of the stage

me, on one of my fav days of the year!

Someone was nice enough to take our picture!  Maybe we do look a little alike!  Just not in coloring!

Britt sporting her Kenny shirt and a new light up necklace!

Sugarland, Zach Brown Band, Miranda Lambert, and Montgomery Gentry were great!  Sugarland is fabulous!  I saw them a couple years ago at Verizon before Kenny (imagine that?!?) and it was good to see them again!  Overall, Britt and I had a great time!  The night was beautiful so the roof was open and I really do think they fixed the sound problems.  Even in the Colts house, we had a BLAST!
