A surprise for my hubby

So I had a little surprise in store for my man Sat night. I told him not to eat too much during the day - and he guessed where we were going. Brat. But he didn't know who with or what the other part of the surprise was! We dropped the kids off with my sister and headed out!

Sippin on a new cocktail I invented before dinner...a lime drop instead of lemon! SO GOOD! I rimmed it with sugar and salt...yum!
We were testing out a camera that my FIL gave us...I love it so far!
My handsome boy - Gizmo
We went to dinner at the Melting Pot - I got two gift certificates for my birthday - it was our first time and SO good! Here I'm giving him the start of the surprise...a Jason Mraz CD.
He had to open it to find the real surprise - tickets to see Jason Mraz in November at the PEARL! Yippee!
He loved my surprise - even though about an hour before he was ready to throw in the towel and stay home...he hates surprises!

The Y's joined us for dinner and will join us at the concert too! So are the Esse's. And they're the ones I got the gift certificates from - thanks for dinner guys!
Eating - I'm already craving it again it was SO good!
The flame from dessert! That was amazing and people go for just dessert but I'd go just for the app!! YUM!


Poison Aug 22,08

Cyn and I needed a hair band fix and what better way to get it than with Sebastian Bach from Skid Row, Dokken and POISON!!
The show was at the Pearl in the Palms - we saw them there almost a year ago to date but we were on the floor last time and a little tipsy. This time we got seats, even they were a row in front of the last row...the views from the place are awesome no matter where you are. Check out the pics I took - there are MANY more but I only uploaded the good ones!

Sebastian singing his lungs out!
Me and my BFF





I love the way he shakes his hips and dances...always have, always will
So what if he wears eyeliner...at least it's not as bad as it was in the 80's!


Even though we had nosebleed seats we still had full view! Love the Pearl!!


Cyn and I planned it all out perfectly and had a great time. We didn't miss a minute of the show and neither of us got out of control - which we tend to do when we're in a bigger crowd. It was a great concert and a great night spent with my BFF. We both screamed along to the songs and had scratchy throats when we left but it was worth it. They always sound so good live.
LOVED IT!



Fishing trip...

So T's going on a fishing trip with the guys in September and he needed a hat so it HAD to be from Bass Pro Shops. We took the girls with us so Lo could see the fish tank in the Silverton. Maybe she'll be a marine biologist when she grows up - she loves fish!


Huge blowfish!
Giving fishy's kisses

My man in his new hat. He's never in his life owned or wore a hat, he always thought they looked weird on him but I think he looks hot!

A visit from an old friend

Sum Sum!!

We haven't seen each other in about 11 years so we caught up a little over a week ago. Sum came over for dinner and some wine and we got to talk about old times! She lives in Texas with her husband who is stationed there for the Army. (That sounded weird but you know what I mean)
Anyway, it was so good to see her. I'd like to thank Classmates.com for getting us back in touch and MySpace for helping us to STAY in touch! ;)
