House Of Blues Birthday

What a FUN birthday present :)  Will was playing at the Myrtle Beach House of Blues on my birthday and mom and dad got tickets for us to eat dinner there and go to the concert.  I clearly was not going to take the kids to the concert so we joined Will in the afternoon so he could meet Anderson and see Karoline since the last time he saw her was when she was about 6 months old.

The kids LOVED getting on the tour bus, meeting the drummer and getting a lesson, and checking out backstage.  We got to watch sound check before heading home.   Mom, Dad, TJ and I ate dinner which was the BEST dinner I have had in a LONG time!  The shrimp and grits were out of this world! They have a new chef from the Food Network and he is GOOD!  ... anyway, the show was awesome as usual and we loved seeing Will play!  I can't wait to see them again.  ... Go buy Sonia Leigh's album!!

Checking out the tour bus... those are small beds!

Couldn't help but get some pics of Karoline with this fun medal! 

Anderson enjoyed rocking out while they were playing...

A few pictures from the concert...

Here is a video I made of clips from the concert. At the end is a whole song that dad shot with my phone... Will is on the left playing the electric guitar (the loud one!)...

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was a wonderful day!  Church was fantastic... I'm going to do a whole post about whats going on at Wellspring soon.   After church we went to Carrabba's  for lunch and then went back to my parent for a little pre- birthday celebration.  Dad was in charge of my cake and it was really cool.  

I am so thankful to be Karoline and Anderson's mommy.  Sometimes I have no idea how I ended up with such amazing children.  I really am beyond blessed.  They are both so sweet and thoughtful!  They help out a lot around the house and for the most part stay out of trouble! :)  They both have a heart for Jesus, love church and anything about church, love to do their devotionals every night and I can't wait to see how God uses them for His glory!  Thank you Lord for blessing me with these two babies! 

Karoline LOVING her Blushing Paisley outfit from Vintage Couture!

One of my gifts from mom for my Pandora bracelet... I love it!  And it was fitting since my other gift from them were tickets to 2 concerts that week!  Ready to rock!

Mom's flowers from dad...

I ordered these from Casemate for mom and my Mother's Day gift... yes I asked TJ if I could buy my own Mother's Day gift :)

Art Show

 Karoline has had a FANTASTIC year taking art classes.  Miss Nancy and her daughter taught her sweet class and she just had a great time.  They had such a nice open house for their art show and Karoline was excited to see her masterpieces displayed all  around her house.  We are thankful for her love (and talent) for art!

 Karoline's sweet pink giraffe turned into a card. 

 This is a picture of Karoline and her friends dressed for trick or treating at Halloween.  Her friend Thatcher is the green guy in the middle of all the girls :)

 She loves Buster...

 Dragon Boat Race TIME!  

We had a fun time this year as always though we didn't make it to the finals.  Sad but I'll make sure I workout harder this year and get those arms in shape for next year :)

 So after we went to Abby's to swim because Mr. Bryant warmed up the pool... the kids were SO FUNNY!  Not sure what we are going to do with these crazy kids :)
