Sara Bareilles

Yes...that is me and my sisters with the one, the only, Sara Bareilles!! We all crammed into the car with our Mom and headed to "Happy Valley" to see our newest favorite music artist. We showed up 2 hours in advance (thanks for being a trooper mom) knowing that it was standing room only and got the greatest seats in the room! Front Row Baby! We had a great time singing and dancing, "I'm not gonna write you a love song" do do doot do doot!

The best part was when we were singing the back up vocals to "Love Song." We were so close to the microphones that she heard us singing. She started laughing in the middle of the song looking over in our direction. After the song she made the comment that she had never had anyone in the audience singing her backups and that is was the 2nd greatest moment of the night.

After the concert we decided to stay a little longer and were lucky enough to meet Sara and her band. We talked with her guitarist Javier Dunn(who is also amazing...he opened the show). He said that the reason Sara started laughing is because the band had been trying for weeks to get the backup vocals that we ended up singing.

Anyway...Sara was amazing! It was a night all of us will remember for a lifetime. We would pay 10 times the price we did to see her live again. Hey, maybe next time she will have us sing all of her backup vocals!! :)

The New Addition

Being pregnant and delivering the first time was a hard experience for me. The hubby and I had lunch one day discussed adding to our family. It felt right, but honestly, I WAS SCARED!
I prayed for strength and decided I was in control of this situation. We changed Doctors, Hospitals...Everything. I am also lucky enough to have a nurse in the family. She came and helped us birth without an epidural. Thank you! Thank you!
WOW!!! AMAZING!!!
Afterwards I thought, 'So this is how it is supposed to be'
TRUELY AMAZING

Mom and baby soon after.
Boys, Boys, Boys!

Of course, when he came to town we had to suck it up, pay the crazy amount and take our sweetheart to see and ride on his favorite train. It was a blast to seeing his reaction. He cried when we got off wanting the ride to last forever!!!
