We went crazy for Brad Paisley!

So our friends surprised us with Brad Paisley tickets on the night of the concert! And it even gets better... When our seats could not be found, they hooked us up with front row tickets! The performers were all so close, we literally could (and did) reach out and touch them. It was a blast for all of us!

Tim waving his cell phone with the thousands of others that lit up the sky (forget about lighters anymore). What a sign of the times!

I tried to get us back stage with one of the band members, but I failed. We think he was looking for someone of the one-night-stand, unmarried type.

Newport Beach: The girls' (and Daddy's) first REAL beach trip!

We couldn't even get Jayden's suit on her before she rolled in the hot sand.


Rylee wasn't certain that she liked the taste of sand, but had a few mouthfuls just to make sure.

The whole fam poses for a picture.

The girls go for one last roll in the sand before we head home.

A Fun Family Day!

Jayden & Rylee swinging away!

Rylee looks like she is planning an attack on Jayden.

Can you tell that we had all it

with posing on the turtle?

Daddy and his girls.

It's not always about the Kids!

These are some pics from a trip that Tim and I took back in April. Tim planned our escape to Dana Point which included sport fishing (I even baited my own hook), whale watching, and relaxing on the beach (not a very warm day for the beach). It was a very quick, fun-packed, adventure.

I told you it wasn't warm. We were all bundled up for our "long walk on the beach." Aren't we romantic!
