The Best Summer

mmm....watermelon

 Owen 'graduated' from his first class at the Little Gym. He takes a tumbling class there that is absolutely awesome and we look forward to it every week. We've decided to continue taking him to classes there at least through the end of the year... this place rocks! Anyway, Matt was able to attend the graduation class and join in on a little fun.

Here's a video of Owen getting his medal. So stinkin' cute!!

 This boy would live in his sandbox if he could. He absolutely loves it. We have to make sure the back door latches every time we let our dogs out otherwise Owen bolts straight for the sandbox!

He also LOVES playing in water. It doesn't matter where it is or how he gets to it, if there's water Owen will find it and manage to soak himself. ...and loves every single minute of it. 

different day, but oh so funny!

Owen and I took a trip to Pittsburgh to visit Matt's brother and family. This picture cracks me up because it totally sums up what these boys are like together...Owen = crazy, Max = (looking at Owen) who is this wierdo?! :) 

breaking out the wrestling moves already!

Playing in the water again!

 Owen first time on grandma and grandpa Rings' boat! He loved it, for the most part. 

 He was on it for 5 whole minutes before he fell asleep.

This is Owen's 'all done' look. I love it! Also notice his diaper is hanging all the way to his knees...we ran out of swim diapers! haha. :) We had the best time!

 We've also been spending many days at the local Splash Parks. They are AWESOME! 

this photo just makes me laugh... :) that's my boy!

And finally the most recent awesomeness was going to the NKOTBSB concert!!! It was SO MUCH FUN.

Oh and our seats? amazing!!

Say hello to Mr Carter...

and Mr. Littrell :)

Oh yes, I shook their hand!!! ahhh!

Such a FUN concert and I'm so glad I was able to finally see my favorite band from elementary school! how crazy is that that I can even say that!?! just awesome. :)

Last night we went to Benny's pizza in Marysville. Not usually something to brag about but they do have the best pizza, ever. But last night was even more special because WNCI and Carolina Liar were there! You may remember me talk about Carolina Liar a few months back because I heard their music on CD101 and instantly loved them. I quickly bought their CD and discovered all of their songs are awesome! So my friend Kathy happened to hear on the radio that they were going to be at Benny's (of all places) on Friday night. Of course I was going to be there!! I talked some other friends into coming along. :) So not only was my favorite band playing but we were right next to the stage and they were playing acoustic. Seriously, could it get any better?! Only two of the band members played and they actually only sang 4 songs (I have no idea why... probably because it was a free show) but I didn't care. Thankfully Nikki brought her camera and I was able to snap a few pic's up close.

Hopefully Nikki will hook me up with the rest of her pictures :) 

After they got off stage I was just too pumped not to meet my favorite band. When will I ever get a chance to do this again?! So I quickly got the nerve to go over to them and say hi and tell them that I LOVE their music and I'm such a big fan. I asked for a picture and got one taken with the guitarist... I don't have that one yet but like I said, hopefully soon! So fast forward, the band is still hanging out and I really want a picture with both of them but feel silly asking for yet another picture. So Mike, Nikki's husband, walks over and just asks if they would take another picture....

Seriously, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much! 

They were SO incredibly nice!!!! I'm on cloud 9! 

I know I know, I'm totally geekin' but it made my week!!! :) SO SO much fun and I'm so glad we went!!!! If you don't know who they are go out and buy Carolina Liar's CD! It's so awesome! What a great great night!!!!

It's Britney...

Call me crazy but I love Britney Spears! So you can imagine how excited I was to go to her concert on Thursday night. Oh my God it was AWESOME! Myself, along with some of my other fanatic girlfriends, got together before the concert to make special 'Britney' shirts... just to show our true Britney spirit. haha. They turned out awesome!

So the concert was an absolute blast. Our seats ROCKED. The Pussycat Dolls opened and they did a phenomenal job! Those girls can sing!

 

During the intermission before Britney came on stage they had a ton of circus acts... basically going of her latest album theme - Circus. It was pretty freaking cool, it felt like getting 3 shows in one! 

So then finally the moment we'd all been waiting for.... here's Britney!

Me, Meredith, Stacey, and Christy

Tricia and I enjoying the show!

The grand finale!

Now if I could only see Madonna in concert my life would be complete. hehe. :)
